  We have stayed in many different holiday homes in Crescent Head over the past 30 years. La Mer is one of the better equip homes we have stayed in.
  
  The top level is where all the WOW factor is; recently renovated with a beautiful open kitchen/living area, three bedrooms with built ins and a large bathroom. The views from the top level take in all of Crescent Head & beyond. There is a very handy undercover fully equip outdoor entertainment area. One negative is the uncleaned floors. It seems to be an issue with all Crescent Head's holiday homes we have stayed, always having to mop floors before enjoying our holiday or expect to live with black feet.
  
  The lower level we didn't use. It is the complete opposite, not renovated, looks unappealing & the old carpet has a strange odour. It has a large lounge room, multiple bedding configurations and a bathroom.

  The house was very nice, it will be even better if they renovate down stairs. We have already booked for next year.

  Peter M from Balgowlah Heights, NSW recommends this vacation rental

  A week at Crescent for our group of 7 is always a joy when we stay at La Mer. When we walk in and see that spectacular view over the bay, the stress levels drop and the holidaying begins !
  
  The top level of this property has been fully renovated (in around 2019) - this includes 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen, dining, deck and outdoor bbq area. The bedrooms are all set up with queen beds.
  
  Downstairs has not yet been renovated, still in fairly original set up from the 70s/80s - 1 large master style bedroom, bathroom and a bunk room with 3 sets of double bunks. Functional as sleep zones and as the second bathroom, but all the living while we visit is done upstairs in the newer zone.
  
  Great to see the ceiling fans added to the 3 upstairs bedrooms - really made a difference on hot summer nights in January. 10/10 !
  
  The kitchen remains a joy - sharp knives, plenty of everything. The bathroom is great, but do remember to bring a couple of bathmats so the floor doesn't get saturated and slippery
  
  Suggestions :
  - A bedside lamp for each side of each bedroom upstairs (currently one lamp per room)
  - Retractable Flyscreen doors across the big front glass doors would make a difference, keeping the mozzies out at night, but letting the breeze in
  - the queen beds in beds 2 & 3 could do with a review/replace - one has a broken base, the other is a slat bed format that could do with some TLC.
  
  We have rebooked and will return in 2024 :)

  Second January holiday at La Mer, after 12 years previosuly at Beau Soleil.
  
  La Mer is a 2 storey house. The top level has had a full renovation 2 years ago, modernising, opening up the brilliant view with a fantastic deck and BBQ zone. The lower floor remains in original condition from the 70s/80s - while spacious and functional, very little time spent in those spaces except for sleeping
  
  Positives :
  - Best view in Crescent Head from the top deck
  - great modern kitchen - plentifully stocked. Sharp quality knives a bonus - thank you !
  - Upstairs bathroom - a terrific renovation, modern and sleek. Worthy of a magazine shoot !
  - lounge zone - very comfortable for up to 6 people. TV works well, wifi available and works well
  - BBQ - large and with bar fridge for frosty beverages. Excellent. Outdoor table seats 6, not quite large enough if the house is at full capacity
  
  To make the upstairs perfect :
  - Fly screens across the large glass doors - on still evenings, insects are an issue, the large doors must be closed, restricting airflow
  - Bedrooms - a bedisde lamp on each side of the double beds (currently one per room) would be ideal
  - Bedrooms - can get stuffy in hot weather. Fans provided are ok, but the rooms do get hot/sticky
  - Bedrooms - Bed 2 (broken base), Bed 3 (slat bed base) - could do with an update. Bed 1 - top mattress did not agree with my back.
  - our week had quite a bit of damp weather - a dryer would have helped (washer only in laundry)
  - our rental includes a clean fee of $250 - frankly I don't believe the cleaners did a great job (for that fee) ahead of our visit.
  
  As we were max 6 people at the property this week, we did not use the lower area. If the current owners were to do an update to this level, La Mer would elevate to another level as a large capacity 10-12 person property.
  
  This is certainly a step up from our previous Crescent Head holiday venue (Beausoleil)
