O Oriana - Penthouse Iconic de Praia de Luxo

Things didn’t start off good. When we arrived the owner had towels from previous tenants showing us the stains on the towels that were left from sunblock and she was very upset about the small discolorations. She wanted us to see what was happening to her towels and make sure we know to wash off sunscreen completely before using her towels. This interaction put us on high alert and made us very cautious knowing that she was very particular. Then every day after returning to the home we notices exterior doors propped open. Doors that I specifically checked and closed myself. It really bothered me and it happened multiple times. I had a suspicion that maybe the owner or her husband were going into the home when we were away. The owner and her husband live in the lower unit. Then while one of my friends was in the driveway washing sand off at the hose she noticed somebody in the window. She didn’t realize at that moment that it was the window to our unit. Then she heard the front door close and the side gate to the owners yard close. That was our confirmation that one of them was going into the unit when we were away.

A beautiful apartment sat right on the beach that didn't disappoint

Lovely and comfortable beach house in a very special location!

Excellent stay for a multi generational family. Plenty of space to spread out yet still cozy and homey. We stayed for 5 days and attended a wedding near by. Perfect for our overseas family members to take in an iconic Sydney suburb. Would definitely stay again.

Helen was a great host and the property exceeded our expectations.
