Thank you for taking time to review your stay and to give us your feedback. We value all feedback - positive and negative, as it all helps us to improve. I am sorry that you were disappointed with your stay. The recent ongoing rain has really put its strain on some of our villas and unfortunately the villa you stayed in had some water ingress, which we needed a roofing plumber to attend to get it fixed. It was attended to quickly but as the rain was constant there was only so much the plumber could do and he was only able to be complete the job once the rain stopped for a little while. We did try to do our best to get the internal part of the unit tidied up as much as possible, but I can believe that the humidity would have made the place smell damp. It was very unfortunate that in addition to this you did not have any hot water on your last day. It was lucky that we had one spare villa just opposite from yours that we could offer for you to use for showers. As you say, we initially thought it was the electrical element of the hot water system that was faulty, but upon checking the villa after your departure everything was and back to normal and there was hot water? I am sorry if you were not informed/aware of our location prior to your stay. We are located right opposite 3rd Bay in Coolum and we are a 10-15 minute walk from the main patrolled beach and the main Esplanade in town like you say. As we are located on the hillside we do have wonderful ocean views. I am glad you enjoyed the views of the ocean as they are beautiful from that villa.
