Sundowner

Negative: We came to Scarborough for a chilled weekend and on first appearances Sundowner was exactly what we were looking for. The apartment was a good size and perfectly situated for the beach. However, on closer inspection it is clear that the apartment is a little tired and could do with some TLC. We were told early check in wouldn’t be possible before 3:00 because cleaners would be on site, but other than the beds being made and bin emptied we don’t feel the apartment had been thoroughly cleaned as we would expect. The first thing we noticed was the damp sewage-like smell in the back bedroom which travelled through in to the kitchen and living room area. However, the final straw was the unbearable noise from the residents above. We were really hoping for a relaxing stay and the constant banging and loud talking really ruined our time here - to the point where we checked out a day early. Obviously this is not the owners fault or something they can control but this is definitely something to consider if you are looking for a quiet weekend away.

Negative: The bedrooms were too far apart for us with having a young child. This clearly isn't the hosts fault but it was a downside. There was not a working washing machine which is something that was advertised. The accommodation was also advertised as having parking. This was essential for us but was not strictly true.

Great weekend, perfect location a short walk to both the North and South Bay. Positive: The property was nice and modern and decorated to high standard. A great floor plan with great size bedrooms and good sized living area. Negative: Could have a table and chairs in the outside area.

A very pleasant stay, we would come back Positive: We stayed in the ground floor flat. It was clean and had everything we needed. It is also conveniently located a stones through from a one stop convenience shop. The beach is a short walk away. We had a problem with hot water during our stay, the host was extremely responsive and a plumber was there within an hour of me reporting it. These things happen but I was impressed with the rapid response. Negative: The stairway to the balcony area is precarious, it’s accessible but with care, however this didn’t hamper our stay at all.

Didn't quite hit the mark for us Positive: Nicely decorated and furnished apartment, great location, dog friendly. Had everything we needed for our stay. Negative: Parking - the information on here is bit misleading. You can park overnight if there is a space but need to move the car the next morning. Parking disc used by locals only enables 2-3hrs parking so you can't arrive and forget about the car unless you park in a paid carpark This is a basement flat with no view. We arrived late evening (7pm) on Friday and it sounded like the people upstairs were having a party and were noisy for quite some time. The rear bedroom has a mixture of awful smells, this was eye watering and we couldn't understand what it was so couldn't sleep in there, the ensuite in there also smells awful. There was NO hot water during our stay, we had to boil the kettle to wash the pots, and had no hot water in the shower. We only stayed for 2 nights and didn't want to spend our time phoning the owners and spoiling our short time away. For the price we paid for two nights - it left us feeling disappointed. Any other service would offer a partial refund as a gesture.
