About this apartment rental
A charming modern, self contained ground floor flat, part of the hosts house, only 250m to a popular East Coast Bay beach. Private entrance, large bedroom with one queen bed, lounge/dining, fully equipped galley kitchen, bathroom with shower and separate toilet. Own outdoor area to enjoy. A perfect home away from home to explore the North Shore. No smoking, no pets, no shoes inside please. Bus stops for public transport across the road but best to have a car.
Parking ONLY available on the street, generally outside the property but being by a popular beach it can get busy and require parking further up the road, especially in summer. If this is not acceptable, please do not book. Unfortunately not suitable for people with mobility issues.
Heaters for winter, windows with bug screens and fans for summer. In order to keep the nightly cost as reasonable as possible there is no air-conditioning. Auckland summers can be humid on some days so if you require air conditioning please do not book.
Check in and out is contactless but we are available for any requests. Always happy to help with anything you may want to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
Be aware before booking of the Vrbo cancellation policy. Refunds will be according to their policy only.
Kayaks and bikes are available to hire.

Lovely space, clean and everything you need and more there to use. Very practical and clear instructors around the flat.Good location close to the beach. Host very helpful and friendly. Was close to our family which was important for us. Thanks you

The property was really lovely and close to the beach. My only negative experience was the road noise from the main street closeby. We left the windows open and heard the noise.

TRUE = 5-min. walk to the local beach
TRUE = Street parking ONLY
NOTE: Family uses 1+ available spots at their discretion despite having VRBO guests
TRUE = Accessibility; the uneven paver situation leading up to the separate entrance was potentially treacherous both day and night, especially in the rain
FALSE = NOT a private unit; owners live directly above, and we could hear everything they were doing upstairs, which means they could probably hear anything we were doing downstairs (and as newlyweds, this was very uncomfortable)
FALSE = Unit has a separate entrance, which is not private from the family, as it’s their home/yard, so if they’re outside walking around doing yard work or whatever (which they were quite often “because of the holiday”), they can see inside if the curtains are left open or will want to talk to you about what you’re doing/where you’re going
NOTE: No A/C or screens on windows during our stay = face the mosquitos OR sweat all day/night with windows closed (I was told – after we left – that I should have asked for the dehumidifier)
NOTE: Only one old, oscillating fan was available to "cool" the unit; had to be schlepped between living room and bedroom nightly (I purchased an extension cord to provide us with the best cooling position at night)
NOTE: Uncomfortable, squeaky bed may be adequate for 1-2 people no larger than 125kg combined
NOTE: We left 4 days early due to illness; I spaced contacting VRBO; thus, no refund offered
