Beachfront vacation rentals in Brisbane Water

We stayed over a weekend with our two children and some friends. It was torrentially raining for the first 24 hours which was bad luck and made the journey a bit trickier with cancelled ferries but we made it and the sun came out for us and we had a lovely weekend in the incredible surroundings of Mackerel Beach. It’s such a peaceful and magical spot. Relatively close to Sydney but it feels like you’re so far away when you wake up there. Claudia and Richard gave us detailed and clear instructions which made the logistics so much easier. The kids loved the cricket kit and beach equipment. We all appreciated the kitchen set up as we all like to cook. Eating out on the deck was really special. Will definitely be back to Mackerel beach.

Highly recommend this house to anyone if you want somewhere to relax this is the place Will be back again

Absolutely loved our stay! It was perfect for our family weekend away. The place is so well done, beautifully decorated and so comfortable with everything you need. We’d love to stay again!

We had a lovely stay in Liz and Larry’s Patonga cabin. Comfy and very clean well equipped with everything you’ll need. Very welcoming, friendly and accommodating hosts. We arrived on a hot day and were welcomed with the AC on and some cool goodies in the fridge. There is easy access to a lovely walk along the river. Part of the front beach at Patonga is off leash for dogs, and the Boathouse Hotel and the ferry to Palm Beach are dog friendly. Looking forward to returning.

Sue’s home was wonderful! Plenty of room, beds, and space to be comfortable living for our short stay. Walking distance to 2 great beaches and multiple food/drink spots! We enjoyed multiple lunches at Caves which were delicious and convenient. Caves beach is extremely neat and beautiful during low tide and a must see during your stay here.

Lovely location, house is comfortable, relaxed and perfect for a beach holiday. Our dogs loved the back yard and the dog beach. Ceiling fans were essential as there is no air conditioning. We had a great stay and will be back.

Gorgeous location and one of the best stocked Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed in, in terms of crockery, cutlery, coffee machine, salad bowls, bread boards plus surplus stock for bathrooms, kitchen needs etc. We had a really great stay in every way.

Gorgeous house, gorgeous spot. Paul’s place is lovely and had everything we needed for a wonderful holiday. Thoughtful touches like games, books, DVDs, a well-stocked kitchen, comfy couches and beds, and even a box of chocolates on arrival. We absolutely loved it all. Paul was responsive and helpful, a wonderful host. Thank you Paul for a fantastic family vacation.

10/10 highly recommend and would stay there again. Fully stocked with lots of games and activities for both kids and adults. We experienced both sunny and rainy days, where we were either at the beach or in Michelle's pool, or indoors playing pool or board games. House was very clean and had space for everyone, including our dog. Umina shops were close by, and the beach was walking distance. Michelle's house is beautiful and homey, we felt comfortable and right at home. Thanks for having us!

We are a family of 4 with an 11 and 8 yr old. This house was perfectly located in relation to the the main town road, the lake behind us, which you could see from the dining room, and the beach. The walk to the beach is 10 min through the cozy town, very easily accessible. The house was amazingly clean, she had every amenity that you could possibly want including salt, pepper, oils, glad wrap, tin foil, etc. The beds were extremely comfortable, which I find important when you're staying for a week like we did. Felicity was very responsive. there was lots of storage space for your groceries, a washer and dryer were available, lots of places to hang up your towels to dry after a day at the beach. it truly was a very beautiful and cozy place to stay.

Beautiful and spacious townhouse. My guests and I loved it. Gave you access to a beautiful indoor heated pool which was great on rainy days and it was so close to the Entrance Beach.

Gwen's place was very clean and spacious and a great location right beside the beach and lookouts. Gwen was very welcoming and friendly and we had a lovely stay in her house. Highly recommended.

We had a fabulous time away with a few girlfriends at this beautiful Airbnb! The house was absolutely perfect for our girls' retreat. Spacious, cozy, and beautifully decorated, it felt like a home away from home. We especially loved the large kitchen for cooking together, and the outdoor deck was the perfect spot with amazing views. The location was ideal – peaceful and quiet, yet close enough to local shops and restaurants for some fun outings. I would absolutely recommend this Airbnb!

We really enjoyed our stay at this Newport home, with all its amenities and the pool was a real bonus. The house was well organised and beautifully decorated. The host Taranvir was a gentleman and always assisted you when needed. We really recommend staying in this home with the luxuries you want when you are away, close to all the northern beaches and with a beautiful outlook.

Adrian’s place was so homely and comfortable. The beds were so soft and we didn’t want to leave that lounge! We had just the right amount of space for 4 adults and 2 kids. Adrian was very generous and thoughtful. Even leaving ice blocks in the freezer for the kids! The pool and games room was a hit with the kids. Great for the couple of rainy days we got during our stay. This was probably the most comfortable air b n b experience we’ve had. Everything ran smoothly thanks to a great host.

The communication from Debbie was excellent. Contacted me as soon as the booking was made with information about my stay & followed up closer to my booking date. Apartment was clean, comfortable & the elevated view over the pool & Brisbane Water was stunning. Plenty of cafes & restaurants within walking distance. Enjoyed my time at Ettalong.

A beautifully appointed studio, detached from the main house and very private. Light and bright, with a lovely coastal feel. Very clean. Stylish furnishings, quality linens, well equipped kitchen and bathroom. Comfy bed and pillows! Great location, close to Palm beach, Whale beach, and Avalon. Plus Snappermans beach is just at the end of the street! Amethyst is a responsive, friendly, and helpful host. Very welcoming and accommodating. I loved my stay and would highly recommend! I hope to visit again.

Tiffany's Place was amazing. The beach and lagoon right at the back doorstep and the view was amazing. The place was clean and as described. We had a group of families and everyone enjoyed their trip. Thanks Tiffany.

Absolutely a beautiful place, the views are absolutely breathtaking from every room in the house. it was really an amazing holiday for our family. the home was very comfortable everything was perfect. Thank you to the amazing host for having us and for all your wonderful recommendations. we will definitely be back as we miss your beautiful place already.

I honestly can’t say enough about how phenomenal this experience was. I came off of a 20 hour flight and couldn’t wait to relax, cook dinner, and enjoy being on the water. It was the most beautiful sunset I had ever seen and one of the best night’s sleep of my life. From being picked up at the dock to the adventure of the return trip back to shore, I would recommend this incredible stay to anyone!

Great property in ideal location - plenty of undercover entertaining space and exceptionally well appointed throughout. Jacuzzi and fireplace complement outdoor entertaining options. Excellent host (Carla) was responsive, helpful and added to the experience. Would highly recommend.

Outstanding location on the waterfront with views across to Scotland Island. Spacious accommodation that is ideal for family gatherings. The kayaks and. paddle boards were a real bonus. The 3 and 6 year olds absolutely loved drawing chalk pictures on the blackboard wall in the kitchen.

Our family had a wonderful stay at this incredible property. Absolute beachfront in Wamberal with amazing views of the ocean. This property was very luxurious and had everything that was needed. A great location away from the chaos of Terrigal. There is an excellent cafe/restaurant a few steps away (Wed-Sun). The beach is patrolled and Wamberal lagoon is a great option when the surf is too rough. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful week at Patonga. Margaret's place was just perfect for our post Christmas family relaxation. The view across to Palm beach is spectacular and the coming and goings of the boats was very entertaining. The house had everything we needed and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils etc. We loved the proximity of the water, just a hop skip and a jump. Having the pub and restaurant stumbling distance away was also very handy. Patonga has a lovely village feel and Margaret was a perfect host.
