Loved our stay in Corlette. Exactly as the photos, right on the water. It was clean and well located. Property managers were very easy to deal with. When we arrived we noticed there werent wnough towels and they were very quick to rectify, even on a weekend. Enjoyed our stay very much.
H3 has everything you need and the view was the best. House was clean and well presented. Despite all the rain we unfortunately got on our few day's away we still enjoyed our stay.

Lovely spot, lovely place. Would highly recommend.
Perfect location for our family of 6, with 4 young kids. Mum and dad even got to relax! Kids had a ball. Stand up paddle boards were a hit. Saw dolphins from the backyard a couple of times. Magical!
We enjoyed our stay. Great to be able to walk straight onto the beach and the sunsets were fatastic. Having paid top rates for the time we stayed we were a little disapointed with the upkeep of the property. Some easy fixes like new carpeting would go a long way.
Great location and amenities. Very responsive host (they responded within hours of running out of propane fro the bbq) . We cooked in several times and the only critique we had was that the appliances, although functional, need a bit of an update for a property in this category. Otherwise, everything was as shown and would say the pictures do not do justice to the incredible sunset views we had during our stay.
Beautiful duplex has it all. Property is very clean and spacious with unbeatable location, the beach as your backyard. Spent 3 nights and 4 days, kids said it wans't enough time which says it all.

Beautiful home and view. Good location. I was a little disappointed that there was no access to the garage as in the advertisement it stated there was garage access and this was a reason why we also decided on renting this property. On the day of arrival I was unable to get access I contact the rental agent and they advise they want me an email stating the garage can not be accessed. I never received this email. The person on the phone was slightly rude about it also, but apology only stating an email was sent.

Expensive stay ! Not value for money
Great location! Lovely beach front. Family Had a good break . Dishwasher did not work properly and leaked all over the floor. Had to manually wash up . Small dirty oven . Reviews said very clean. Not clean. Most dishes in draws were chipped and not functional as were glass. Could not cook due to dirty oven. Dirty dishes in draws . Dirty pots. Dirty showers ! Not good on holidays. I had to clean myself and mop up water from dish washer! Kitchen needs a makeover .
Love the area but won’t be back to this property!
Will stay at corlette beautiful spot and very relaxing. Duplex not suitable as shared access to beach and very close to other property. Not private.
Feel we overpaid and deposit bond was taken much too early. 4/10 stay

Reviewer Comments:
The location of this property is stunning. The water is just footsteps from the back door. The still waters of the bay make it a perfect location for paddle boarding, swimming, boating or just walking along the shoreline.The house is lovely with a gorgeous alfresco dining area overlooking the bay. The house is spacious and well layed out. Has all the facilities you want for a holiday.A few minor cleanliness and maintenance issues. There were chocolate wrappers and children's items left under the beds (we were searching for missing earpods), the floor didn't appear to be mopped, a big stain on the carpet upstairs, ceiling fan wasn't working in the family area and the dirty linen was left by the door on arrival (although collected quickly once reported).Unfortunately there was a massive storm near the end of our stay which cut off electricity, internet and mobile service so we couldn't enjoy the full comforts of the property for the last 36 hours although that is not the fault of anyone. A visit by the managing agent would probably have been appropriate in these circumstances given the premium cost of the accommodation.Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would recommend to others.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful beachside home. The location is unbeatable — the beach is literally the backyard, making morning walks, swims,and fishing so easy and relaxing.The house itself was clean, comfortable, and well set up, with everything we needed for a stress-free stay. It felt welcoming and spacious, perfect for unwinding and truly switching off. This is the ideal place for anyone looking for a relaxing coastal getaway. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again and highly recommend it to others.
