"everything about this property was lovely. only thing, kids could find the gaming console (not that i minded lol) and the ad made it sound like the pool was just outside but infact its a small stroll down the road. still enjoyed our swim etc but was one of the deciding factors to stay here when we thought the pool was right there. But that's nothing major, everything else was as described and beds were comfy. would recommend :) "

Trinity Collective

10/10 Excellent

"The property was clean outside and in the lobby/check-in area. The staff was amazing and so sweet and friendly! The room was perfect and we couldn’t have loved it more!! It had everything we needed and was as advertised! I felt very safe and secure staying here. I checked in after hours and the front desk was wonderful with accommodating me with that. I would go out of my way to stay here in the future if I’m in the area!!! :)"

Agincourt Beachfront Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Having stayed there many times, its in a great location, away from the tourists in Palm Cove, but easy to get to for great restaurants in Palm Cove"

Sea Change Beachfront Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely enjoyed our stay. Our apartment was huge and had everything we needed for the week. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and being close to the pool. We would definitely stay here again. I have one comment. Not related to the accommodation but more for Expedia. They listed our room but didn’t specify that you need to recommend a type of room you want even though when we booked it was pictures on a higher floor with ocean views but we put on ground level next to the pool area. Again, not a fault of the seachange but Expedia. They need to correct this for future."
