Sandbar Views Beachside Retreat - 100m from the Beach & Pets Welcome

We had a wonderful stay at this Air BnB. It is so close to the most gorgeous beach, and the house is small but spacious. The kitchen has everything you need, bedrooms upstairs are perfect for a family of four, and the beds were so comfortable. Lovely to hear the waves in the distance. The hosts were fantastic and we loved that it was pet friendly. We will be back!

The lockbox code was incorrect - luckily the host was home to let us in! Also - tv in twin room not working.

Fantastic property in a brilliant location. Beautifully presented with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

The house was spotless, and everything we needed was in there, I loved the little treasure box for the moko. She had a blast with the toys.

Everything was at our finger tips. The Plaza was just down the road. Te Puke was just down the road. So we loved it there.

Main bedroom.

Bathroom on lower floor.

Lovely accommodation and everything we needed. Bed was comfortable and clean and the whole place was well looked after. Parking spot is a nice touch. Shower has a nice water pressure.

The remote for the TV wasn't in the bedroom and couldn't be found anywhere. This would have been a simple fix for us to have asked the host but more of an FYI. The outside door can be tricky to use as there's no handle and so trying to open it can be quite stiff but other than that no negatives whatsoever at this property.

Very clean,comfortable apartment. Great location, would love to be here in the summer.

Everything was great,if there was 1 thing maybe more towels. We really enjoyed our stay.

Closeness to the beach

Steep narrow stairs for older person

easy to find, great instructions. Thank you

Very clean and tidy and nicely presented property. Loved that we could bring our elderly dog.

The only thing was the toilet is on the bottom level and bedrooms upstairs. Not ideal in the middle of the night and if you are a bit unsteady on your feet.

The location was perfect, the hosts were very easy to communicate with and the property was amazing.

Good location, clean and tidy

I had a little trouble with opening the gate on exit, nothing that a handle wouldn’t fix

Lovely owners - our dog has reactivity issues after being attacked when younger and they were totally understanding. Good location - easy walk to the beach and around 20mins walk to supermarkets. Quiet and clean (BBQ aside), has ask the amenities you need.

The BBQ hadn't been cleaned, but there weren't any tools to clean or use it. We used tin foil instead Toilet is a long way from the bedroom and there was only one light at the top of the stairs. Bedroom only had a fan and was incredibly hot. The window above the door is lovely but doesn't have a curtain so it's incredibly light in the morning.

Clean, spacious and had everything we need close by!

N/A

Excellent location Very private, lovely courtyard for our dog. Exceptional clean and pretty decor

Sofa beds are very uncomfortable to sit on ☹

Great location, even though it is attached to the main house it is very private! A wonderful home away from home!

Great location to beach, shopping and attractions.

All good

Accessibility to the beach, cafes and restaurants. Comfortable and clean!

Going home!

Great Location, styling was on point.

Unfortunately there was an ant problem, it was rather stressful as they got all into our bags and through our clothes, they were crawling on the bed, I left a cup of lemonade downstairs to tend to my baby upstairs and when I came back down the whole cup was covered in ants, they got through our food too. The main bedroom is beautiful but the curtains dont cover all the windows, so was very bright in the morning and definitely couldn't have a sleep in. The BBQ was disappointing as my son loves to BBQ and it was really moldy and rusty with bugs through it not something i would want to cook my food on. I understand they have a cleaner but did find tampon wrappers and some rubbish under the beds my children were sleeping in and quite a bit of dust, under the couch hadn't been vacuumed in quite sometime,I only know this as we had lost a toy and were looking for it- so this is not the host fault but is something they should speak to the cleaner about.

Very clean, well appointed

The location was amazing, ease of access (to the property), responsiveness of hosts, cleanliness of accomodation, amenities (there were so many little details thought of), and the quality of the rooms, linen etc. were beautiful! The view from the master bedroom was lovely too and in the afternoon the sun poured through the windows making it VERY luxurious! I thoroughly enjoyed this accomodation and would definitely return! Thank you so much to the hosts :)

The only thing that could be improved - though I do understand the need to clean between guests when the accomodation is fully booked - is slightly earlier check in & later check out.

Location was excellent just back from the beach. A lovely property, we loved our stay there.

I can't think of any improvements required, the property was great.

Apartment was well located and expansive view from top deck. Nice place to take our breakfast and drinks .

The layout was a little awkward with bedrooms upstairs and bathroom downstairs. There was no dining table and lounge wasn't comfortable. There was less than half a toilet roll and no extras, available. Rather inconvenient late evening. The single beds were not good and the blind in second bedroom was broken.

Exceeded expectations, the best part of the place isn’t even photographed, waking up to the view from the huge window. Plus the balcony! High quality bed and bedding made for a very comfy night sleep. Wished we had booked for longer. Amazing location too across the road from the beach .

For reactive dog owners just be aware they have a dog and 2 cats on the property. We had this information before we checked in luckily so were able to warn the owners and so this was not an issue, just something to keep in mind. Also would be good to have Netflix or chrome cast on the tv :)

Beautiful and spacious apartment with a huge balcony and a terrace with BBQ. The main bedroom is big and stunning! Very clean and well equipped. We loved our stay there

Property was spacious. Good cooking facilities, outdoor space and barbecue. 100 m from the beach. Very quiet with supermarket and mall 20 minutes walk away.

Nothing.

lovely apartment with everything we needed, loved the visits from the family pets - made us feel very welcome. We were there for a funeral so it was a lovely spot to return to after big days visiting family. I also had to work and there was everything there that I needed for that.

pin code on the booking-com confirmation was incorrect. wifi code - i had to text for. other than that everything else was great.

Clean and comfy home

No toilet from upstairs but all good

Beautiful property, very well presented and clean. The bedroom upstairs is lovely, very comfortable and the beautiful view is a treat!

The location, a block away from the beach and a quick drive to Papamoa plaza. Beautiful place, nicely furnished and clean. Quiet area.

Very close to the beach, convenient location . Friendly hosts.

Great location, fab view from upstairs, super clean and tidy. Perfect for a family getaway. Hosts were great.

Great location and very clean
