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!!

Ultimate Ocean Stay Lv 33
Great Appartment and perfect view. Location was awesome too, so close to the beach. Loved the heated pools

BEACH FRONT HAVEN @ Oracle Level 14
My family and I booked this apartment for a week and it was perfect!! It met all our needs and more. The apartment was clean and well set up and had everything we needed. Great location and close to everything!

19th FLOOR TWIN QUEEN BEDS IN UPMARKET HOTEL
We had a wonderful stay at this place! The place was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated. The host was incredibly responsive and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, close to great restaurants and local attractions, yet still peaceful and quiet at night. We especially appreciated the little touches like fresh towels, a well-stocked kitchen, and clear check-in instructions. Highly recommended—we’d definitely stay here again!

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!

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!

Classic Beachfront Apartment
I really enjoyed my stay at the apartment and ended up rebooking just two weeks later. Thanks once again for making it such an enjoyable experience!

Best BEACH Views @ Oracle Level 27
We had an amazing stay here. The room was spacious and clean with beautiful views. There was plenty to do which was walking distance and great restaurants surrounding. Upon checkin the fridge had broken down - the hosts and team were proactive right away and resolved this in a timely matter. Everyone was extremely kind and friendly, especially Jason who helped us check in. Thank you so much for a great experience overall! Highly recommend and will certainly stay again in the future.

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.

Luxury Waterfront Villa in Paradise. Pets Welcome.
Second stay at this amazing place! Kynan was very responsive to our queries and the house is set up so well. Love the location on the water with beautiful morning and evening views.

Patch - a unique, luxury stay
Absolutely beautiful and great facilities and gorgeous Cottage that was thoughtfully set up to maximize enjoyment and comfort. The host really thought of everything. The beautiful rainforest setting was maximized with the decor and perfectly positioned hot tub. Absolute serenity.

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.

High floor ocean view & spa @ Legends hotel
It was absolutely wonderful, the place was beautiful and only a 7 minute walk to be in the heart of surfers paradise, would definitely recommend and we would love to stay again, thank you
