view was to die for and it was excellent for the dogs. Its an older place but was clean and well presented inside. Lovely spot and we will return as we loved Farnborough Beach

Beach House on Cinderella - absolute beachfront

DonRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We were very happy with the location and privacy of the house. It was very well equipped with everything we needed. Great view and loved going to sleep with the sound of the ocean and the birds. Close to the airport and Cairns. Thank you for the opportunity to stay at your place . I would definitely recommend your beach house to my friends and family.

Our favourite little getaway. Such a beautiful peaceful beach house with everything we need. We check in and spend our time floating between the beautiful deck, the pool, and the beach. Perfect place to relax. This was our second stay and we will be back again!

Litoria Mission Beach 2 bedroom

JodieRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We had a lovely stay at Litoria with my partner, 2 children and small dog. The whole place is very modern and luxurious with gorgeous fittings and stylish surrounds. We loved walking through the public shortcut access to the beach and wandering along the sand at the expansive beach. It was quiet with barely anyone around. We could walk to the skate park, splash park and basketball court which were all together on the beachfront. It was a short drive out to dinner at Mission Beach and the surrounds were picturesque just be careful of the wallabies beside the roads. They were so cute. We also had a visit from a massive green tree frog which was spectacular to see. We would definitely stay here again.

"Endless Summer", relaxation for the whole family

JoRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Great lil beach house, loved the deck. We could see the sea! Great deck for our dog to have her kennel and mattress on. And she could see us sleeping in the bedroom from her kennel. Out of any bad weather. Which we didnt have. She felt at home. Loved walking to beach and pub for dinner. Everyrhing there that is needed for a beach holiday. Room for everyone on the deck. Next time we will bring our lilos for the deck and book for a longer break next time.

Port Douglas Apartments

JoRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Had a wonderful stay in Port Douglas. Accommodation is in prime location; 2 minutes walk to the beach and at the eastern end of the main eating and shopping strip in town. Very friendly and helpful welcome and assistance from the staff. Spotless apartment had everything we needed; very comfortable and nothing was too much trouble if we needed anything extra. Very happy to have a laundry available; can travel lighter when you can wash some clothes! Nice to have a pool to dip in, and pool lounges to relax on during hot afternoons, listening to the local bird life bouncing around in the lovely tropical garden surrounding the apartments. Barbeques were very clean and situated in a lovely courtyard, but we ate out at a different place every night and didn’t get time to use them. Next time! Would happily stay again, and recommend to friends.

If you are travelling to Hamilton Island you must stay here. Steve, the host and Anne Marie, the on island contact, were the best I’ve encountered. We were picked up at airport and given a tour of the apartment. Anne Marie gave recommendations for our stay and was super helpful at check out. The place is awesome also, a truly amazing view of the sunset. A perfect stay!

Sunset Sarina Beach House

JenniRating, 5 stars1 month ago
What a little gem. The house was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed. The bedding was extremely comfortable. The house is in a great location and a lovely deck overlooking the bay to enjoy. It’s an easy walk to the local little store, clubhouse and palms restaurant. The beach is perfect to walk. All in all, this little gem is wonderful and I’ll definitely recommend to anyone, and will be staying there again. Thanks Shane & Tracey

Coral Sea Tranquility・Yorkeys Knob Beach

MiraRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We stayed for 7 days and overall really enjoyed the apartment. It’s quiet, cozy, and feels nicely secluded - perfect if you’re looking to relax. We really appreciated the beach towels and umbrella, which came in handy. The ocean view is lovely and peaceful. A heads-up: having a car is definitely helpful if you plan to go into Cairns or explore nearby areas. The internet connection was a bit of a challenge - the access point overheated and shut off, so we had to use a fan to keep it running. Also, having air conditioning in the bedroom would have made sleeping more comfortable, especially if you’re not a fan (pun intended) of fans running overnight. Other than that, everything was nice and the place had a lovely vibe ☺️

This beautiful property is perfect for a group, with all the bedrooms having their own ensuites.

VeronicaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Beautiful apartment and surroundings. Within walking distance to restaurants and beach. Owners and admin were very responsive to questions. Beds were so comfortable and everything was very clean. Appreciated the extra towels. Internet was a bit hit and miss and no shampoo in the bathrooms (lots of conditioner though) which may have just been an oversight. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Diane.

Beachside Retro shack

JayRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Our 5 day stay was simply amazing, everything was perfect on arrival , with easy check in. Two minutes walk from the beach was perfect. The little shack itself was just what we needed for our anniversary. The one tiny little thing that we noticed was the pillows were very hard , however that was nothing when it came to the beautiful surroundings, beach and location. I’d be very happy to visit again.

Ocean Front 2 Bedroom Unit CBD

JocelynRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Lola & Wayne's apartment is one of the nicest Airbnb's we have stayed in. It's spacious and beautifully furnished; the beds were comfy, and both en-suites had beautiful bathrooms & towels. The kitchen was well set up with everything you would need if you wanted to make a meal. Location was brilliant, many Restaurants & Woolworths were just around the corner & Cairns Aquarium was one of the best Aquariums we have been to. We were picked up for all our tours from the doorstep so those early morning pickups were made easy! Also going to the reef as the boats left from the marina below us. We will miss sitting on the balcony looking out over the marina. Lola so kindly picked up a cake for me that I had ordered, such a beautiful surprise for my sister & her husband celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary, thank you Lola, that was much appreciated. Thank you Lola & Wayne for hosting us in your gorgeous apartment, you made our holiday even better than we could have imagined.

Coral Sea view 2 - Trinity Beach

AlisonRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Melissa’s place was everything it said it was! Your own private pool, beautiful views & modern bathrooms. A full size fridge, most appliances & a BBQ to make it feel very homely. We had the place to ourselves & had a nice & relaxing stay. Melissa was lovely, providing lots of information & went above and beyond to make it stress free. Any time we needed to ask a question she was more than helpful & kind. Would thoroughly recommend Melissa’s place to anyone who manages to secure a booking!
