Marine Drive, 32

Excellent location

Great holiday house for extended families. Well kitted out, clean and spacious. Brilliant location opposite a beautiful beach. However, if an issue arises, there is little assistance from property management.

Tired and in need of love

We had a great time in Fingal. 3 couples, with us being the only ones with kids, made it really great, with lots of helping hands. The place itself is very tired. When we arrived there was a strong smell of fish... may have been the people before us. I guess everything just needs a refresh: 1) BBQ is basically broken, unless you want to wait 3 hours for a piece of meat 2) Couches are so dirty i thought I needed to check my legs for a new strain of sandflea every 5 minutes 3) The downstairs area is very damp. Our twins are 4 months old and they began to sneeze. Very dusty. 4) Everything in the place is the cheapest: no sharp knives and mix and match type crockery. 5) Upstairs - main bedrooms were extremely dusty and one of my mates had his hayfever flare up again which meant a trip to the chemist. \It just needs all the cobwebs cleared out Generally fine for a boys weekend I would say - but not really a great family holiday type place.

Perfect Location

Great location with a stone throw from the beach & walking distance to shops which was perfect for a large family holiday with teenage children & friends.
Beautiful safe beach. On a busy road but was quiet at night. No problems with sleeping, just don't expect to sleep in:) Beds very comfy. Great deck for meals which is where we spent a lot of time.

Some TLC required as some appliances & furniture either broken or required updating. Air-conditioner was questionable as there was visible mould within system. (Not certain what we could not see) Lounge in need of a good clean.

We did have a sewer blockage down stairs (could tell it want the first time) Rang the emergency number at 6pm which went to a voice mail with no one checking it. We had to call the office several times the next day to get response. (10 of us sleeping upstairs & using 1 bathroom & toilet was very interesting:))

We did enjoy our vacation a lot & made the most of every minute we were there.
This property has so much potential & would not hesitate to come back to Fingal Bay. Would come back to this property if there were improvements to cleaning & maintenance in particular. Not certain in it current condition.

32 Marine Drive Fingal

We stayed at 32 Marine drive Fingal in early January 2021. Its the 5th time we have stayed here. We love the easy walk across the road to the beach, and that the house takes 10 people usually. This year there was some significant problems. Overall the house was quite dirty with heavy dust on all surfaces, and sand on the floor, The fridge had lots of food scraps on the lower shelves and had not been cleaned. The BBQ was uncleaned. One of the beds was smashed and unusable , and there was not enough sheets for the available beds. All of the upstairs remote controls for the TV, DVD, and air conditioner were absent.The clothes dryer didnt work with 2 towels in it, probably because of the sand in it.All of these issues were reported during the stay , with no result. We do enjoy the position, and after cleaning the house we did have a good holiday, but for the cost we felt cheated this year.
