Modern Spa Suite at Peppers Resort
Leah’s place is lovely. Very close to a magnificent beach. I walked every day. Restaurants very close by and all of them well worth having a meal at. Definitely well worth the money!

Spectacular Surfers Paradise Luxury BEACHFRONT
What a fantastic place! The view was amazing. We had a great time sitting out on the patio listening to the waves and watching the sunrise. Easy to slip down to the pool and then right out onto the beach. We parked our car (in the provided spot) and didn't get into it until we left. Everything was walkable or it was just a hop, jump and a skip with the tram. My only disappointment? We couldn't stay longer. There's always a next time. Thanks Brad!!

Oceanview 2BR/2BA in The Miles Residences, Kirra
Unbelievable place and unbelievable location! The hosts have thought of every detail. From board games to the coolcabana we forgot to pack. Super comfy beds too! Couldn't ask for more!

Meriton Panoramic Sea view Highrise 2BR
Beautiful place to stay. Apartment looks exactly like the photos. Beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. Gorgeous ocean view with a really nice clean space.

‘Blue View’ On Palm Beach.
Our stay was the perfect getaway. Absolutely stunning beach & ocean views, beautiful and clean apartment, exceeding our expectations. Convenient location to accessing cafes, restaurants & grocery stores, which are within a short walking distance. We loved our scenic beach walks to other areas of the Gold Coast, making our experience even more enjoyable. Karine was very informative and kind, always ready and available to help. We hope to return on our next visit to Australia. Highly recommended!

Beachside Paradise @ Oracle Level 23
Loved this apartment! Beautiful ocean views, two lovely outdoor spaces and close to restaurants, supermarket, pub, surf club, casino and beach right across the road! So spacious and definitely feeling of home away from home. See you next time!

Burleigh by the Sea
Absolutely loved our stay at Helen’s place in Burleigh Heads! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by refreshing sea breezes and sweeping views to die for. The apartment was impeccably clean, with every detail thoughtfully considered. Helen’s beautiful styling created a space that felt luxurious yet homely — a true coastal sanctuary. The balcony quickly became our favourite spot — perfect for soaking in the sun, sipping a morning coffee, and watching the surfers and the passing parade below. We also enjoyed daily walks along the headland, taking in the breathtaking beauty of Burleigh and its surrounds. Helen was a wonderful host — warm, responsive, and respectful of our privacy. If you’re after relaxation, style, and that unbeatable Burleigh vibe, this is the place. Can’t wait to return!

Beachfront Bliss for Two: air-conditioned, parking
We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful Airbnb. The location honestly couldn't be better — right on the water, with breathtaking views and such a peaceful atmosphere, yet still close to everything. Waking up to the sunrise glistening on the water every morning from bed was perfect. The house itself was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed with everything we needed. Plenty of scenic places to relax, eat and drink! Our hosts were absolutely lovely — so warm and welcoming. They made us feel right at home and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. We couldn’t recommend this place more. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway in an unbeatable location, this is it!

AWESOME WATERFRONT HOME NEAR CARRARA STADIUM
Fantastic place, spacious, clean and great outdoor decking and pool areas. House has all needed amenities including good laundry and is very private. Access was easy and plenty of parking available. Perfect for families. Location is 3 mins from Benowa Village shopping centre which is very convenient. Support and communication from Janett was also great. We had a wonderful stay!

Gold Coast Central Waterfront House with Pool
The property was perfection for a holiday stay!! Everything was just right, the pool and back view was amazing. It was in a great area where everything was easy to get to. The host is absolutely outstanding and helpful. 10/10 would recommend 😍

Waterfront house-pool, firepit, jetty, kayaks/SUPs
Matt’s property is amazing! The house is very spacious and has everything you need for an enjoyable and comfortable stay. Being right on the water is delightful, the kayaks and SUPs are great fun. Unfortunately it was too cold for us to try the pool but it looked fantastic. Stayed with our two small children and there was lots to keep them entertained, and everything we needed for an easy stay with toddlers. Thanks again Matt!

Beach House-Bundaleer-Among the trees on the beach
We loved going back to Bundaleer! Kitchen is well stocked. Beds are comfortable. Quality fixtures in the bathrooms. The back deck is the highlight! We spent much of our time there overlooking the water. We enjoyed the kayaks--going out on the water each day. Also enjoyed the wine and cheese. Neil was always responsive to any questions we had. Lovely spot. Highly recommended.

Level 12… 180° of Uninterrupted Beachfront Views.
Beautiful unit. Photos don’t do it justice. The view is absolutely spectacular and all the finishes were incredible! The bed was very firm (ok for husband not for me) and very squeaky when rolling over during the night. The balcony and the way it opens up provides a beautiful breeze and the fans are wonderful on those warm nights. Jason was wonderful to deal with and very quick to respond. Wish we didn’t have to leave but will return. We met friends for dinner and drinks and they loved it also and will also come stay here next time!

High Level on 46 floor- Oceanview 2BR Casino
I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was convenient, making it easy to explore the area. The host was very responsive and helpful, ensuring a smooth check-in and providing great recommendations.

Amazing Views- 1Bdr Apt- Views, Pools
Sharryn’s place was just beautiful. Great location and such a beautiful well set up apartment. Sharryn was a wonderful host, she met us at the complex and took us to the apartment and showed us the ins and outs. Great stay!

Ocean view 1 bedroom apartment
We really loved the location of Sammi's place, super close to shops, beach front and restaurants/cafes. Plenty to do, but also a great spot to relax and watch the waves roll in. Everything was accounted for and we felt right at home as soon as we stepped through the doors. Definitely recommend this gem and will return!

Luxury, 2 Bedroom Ocean View Apartment
We had a lovely time, the space worked really well for us. And Thankyou to Aliyah for being so prompt when we had a question. I would thoroughly recommend this place to stay. 👍

Stunning Beachfront level48 with parking /L
We had a really good 4 night stay. Great location, walking distance to everything. Check in was easy, clear pictures on where to find the keys. Good accom if you have little ones as in the cupboard there were a bucket and shovel, scooters and boogie boards provided. The only downside was there was a smell that lingered around the whole time and no hot water the morning we were checking out so could not shower.

Absolute luxury riverside living in inner Brisbane
Lovely place to stay in a fabulous complex. The apartment was a great open space with all the facilities and equipment you could ask for. Communication with the hosts was always rapid and helpful. I would definitely stay again.

Currumbin Creek Unit
Very easy process. Quick responses. Great location. Value for money. Highly recommend Martin and the apartment.
