Beautiful property right on the beach
We had a fantastic weekend with two families and teenage friend. Summer arrived just as we arrived on the beach and we loved the kayaks, board and other toys for water fun! Direct access to beach made it an incredible stay. House was comfortable and as it was described in the ad. Had a fantastic two days and would love to come back!

Awesome location but house was really dirty considering we even had to pay extra for covid cleaning
We stayed for 4 nights. Fantastic location, we had lots of fun. Comfortable beds. However, considering we paid extra cleaning charges for a covid safe place, the cleanliness was not up to standards. On arrival house was dirty. Floor had what looked like pee on it, floors not vacuumed and not mopped, dusty couch, kitchen cupboards sticky, bbq not usable as was filthy, spider webs in every corner/wall of house (we killed so many spiders). Listing says recently renovated, however not one part of the house looked renovated, everything looks old. We informed all this to property manager who replied a week later asking for photos as proof which we provided to hear not hear back from them.

It's great to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We get many fabulous reviews on Zara and the owner is constantly doing improvements on the property. You only informed us of your concerns after you had vacated the property. We always address any issues our guests may experience during their stay if given the opportunity.

Fantastic stay at Zara del Mar
Despite heavy rain for all of our stay we had a fantastic time. Zara del Mar is in a great location with more than enough room to accommodate the nine of us with room to spare, especially during less than ideal weather. The house was immaculate, especially the kitchen and all appliances and the bathrooms. Plenty of games, toys DVDs to keep everyone busy. The location right on Callaha Beach was wonderful, and had it not rained for our stay, the kayaks, paddle board, garden would have been wonderful. We would have no hesitation booking this property again.

Magnificent location
Honestly you can't ask for a better location for a beach stay, the beach is literally in your backyard. Watching the sunrise and the sunset everyday from the balcony was breathtaking. The house was clean and fully equipped especially the kitchen it has everything you need. The kids were also so happy with all the toys, books and the floaties. Thanks a lot Antonia for hosting us.

Perfect location, great holiday, house needs some tlc.
We had a wonderful 7 night stay at Zara Del Mar. The location is perfect. Access to the beach is amazing and the views so beautiful. Exactly as we pictured it would be. Outdoor entertaining area had a large seating/table area, cubby house, sun loungers and a day bed! The beach house itself is great, but could use some TLC on the interiors as it’s a bit tired. There were 9 of us (2 families) and all bedrooms were a comfortable size and living areas nice and adequate & the kitchen was well equipped. I understand that when you stay in a beach house like this you are paying for the location, but for the amount we paid, you expect a little bit more and really it’s the little things that count. Although the house caters well for families (games, toys, boogie boards, kayaks etc), some things could use a bit of an upgrade: the boardgames had seen better days, so not really usable as items were missing. The mat under the coffee table was dirty with lots of stains, wouldn't take much to replace. Bathmats as well.. pretty old. BBQ hadn’t been cleaned properly in ages. Overall cleanliness could be turned up a notch. Maybe consider adding aircon especially for downstairs rooms as they don't get much of the ocean breeze on a hot summer night and although they do supply fans, one of them was not working. Despite the above, we really enjoyed our stay Zara Del Mar. Would book there again but hope that the owners would take into consideration some of the reviews below and make improvements in the near future.

Fabulous
We stayed here for 5 nights and woah... what an incredible time we had. The house is deceivingly large. Three bedrooms at the front of the property which were separated by a good heavy door. Perfect for ensuring our 19 month old went down/stayed asleep every night (even with those of us who have loud voices!). On that note, if you have kids, this is the place for you. You won’t need to bring a thing. They have plastic cups and plates and crockery, as well as a room with a heap of toys/games for babies all the way up to adults. They had a cot and high chair too. Two double kayaks and two single ones as well as a SUP which we used every day. At the end of the street is a pathway into a bushy reserve. Well worth doing some bush walking while you’re in the area. And you must grab a coffee and churro up the road! I can not recommend this house enough!

Perfect seaside location
Great beach side holiday house, with the beach literally at your door step. The beach is amazing, white sand and crystal blue water. House was nice and great for families, but, you’re paying for your location here, not the house. The house itself could do with some refreshing up, lots of spider webs and spiders in corners of roofs in all rooms. It was a lovely gesture to arrive to a bottle of wine and chocolates. We loved the area and would stay again.

Great Location!!
5-star location and a perfect house for a family (or two) get away. Amenities are very good, although the property is showing a little bit of wear and tear. A little maintenance and TLC will make this a 5-star stay.

Can't beat the location!
The location of the property is just spectacular. It is absolute beachfront which makes it amazing to pop in and out of the water and relax on the grass of the property in your own privacy rather than the beach if you like. We enjoyed a weekend away with the extended family. There was plenty of room for us all to sit and relax together and cook in the kitchen. We can't wait to go back again and enjoy! Thank you for our stay.

Perfect holiday with kids.
Great property. Not too fancy, not too basic. Just right. Excellent location. House filled with stuff for kids and grown ups. Kitchen well equipes. Overall the house was very cleaned, specially toilet and showers. Just a bit sandy/dusty on floor and furniture, but I guess that’s what you get for being so close to the beach. Amazing staying. It was not our first time here and will definitely be back again.

We had a fabulous stay at Zara Del Mar, upon arriving and walking out to the beach we saw dolphins in the water outside our house! The kids were very excited!! The kayaks and paddle boards at the house were fantastic and the location is perfect. House has everything we needed including a coffee machine and we will definitely be back again!!
