Spectacular Surfers Paradise Luxury BEACHFRONT
This is a really great property in a modern apartment block. Everything about the property is friendly and homely. The photos and information on Airbnb are very accurate and can be totally trusted. The properties orientation is great, overlooking the ocean, a small park, and the town of Surfers paradise, so there’s plenty to look at from the spacious balcony. All rooms are a good size and well appointed. Can’t find any faults with this property. I can’t believe we’d have found any place any better for our 6 night stay. Pretty much perfect, 10 out of 10.

Surfers Aquarius Apartments Beach Front Level 37
Spacious, well equipped, fantastic view of the Gold Coast. Difficult to fault. Would definitely go back.

BEACH FRONT HAVEN @ Oracle Level 14
We had an amazing stay! The view from the balcony was absolutely stunning — perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The apartment itself was beautifully modern, clean, and incredibly comfortable. Everything was just as described, if not better. One of the highlights for us was the playground literally just down the stairs — it was perfect for our 17-month-old and made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, everything was excellent. Highly recommend!

Amazing views! 2BRM Beachfront Apartment, Labrador
Was very close to everything, The grand has great meals and being just underneath was perfect and easy with the family! Pool is heated which the kids loved and the beach right across road was a perfect view to finish off each day and start another! Thank you!

Amazing View & Relaxing Apartment in Surfers!
Yun was a fantastic host and had a fabulous apartment. Yun was in constant communication and couldn’t do enough for us during our stay. The apartment was gorgeous with stunning views of the Sunshine Coast and really nice amenities. Would recommend if looking for a place to stay in Sunshine Coast
Waterfront house rentals

Broadbeach Waterfront - Winner Best family home
Better than the photos - which doesn’t always happen. Perfect for families and young children as they have everything there. The house also has everything you could think of on site so need to bring much. Great place to relax and enjoy family time :)

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
Great stay perfect for what we were after! Location and views were on point! Kayaks were great with the dads and toddlers in the morning and firepit was great at night for when the kids were in bed. Swans can and visited one lovely and one a bit angry but otherwise fine. Road next to the house was a bit busy and noisy but that’s the only fault if I was looking for one. Thank you so much for a great stay for a much needed break!

Ocean Front Paradise. 40% off long term stays!
Absolutely amazing to be right on the water, watching the tide come in & go out, seeing boats & yachts passing by. Peaceful, bushy surrounds blissfully listening to bird life. Clean & comfortable furnishings, & has everything needed (& more) in the kitchen & other living areas both inside & out. Peter & Raisa were communicative, helpful, responsive & lovely hosts. It was great to get out & explore the island with lots of hidden gems, fishing spots, & friendly locals. Catching mud crabs was a bonus with the supplied crab pots. Yum! Great house & location, would definitely stay again & recommend to others.

Large entertaining deck, Water views, leafy.
We have stayed in a number of Airbnbs recently, Jason’s place by far has been the best! Really lovely house, well presented, felt right at home instantly. Great location. Well equipped with everything we needed, easy check in and out also! Jason was a fantastic host, we will definitely be back and highly recommend Jason and his beautiful home.

Waterfront condo rentals

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!

Stunning Beachfront level48 with parking /L
Great host who went above and beyond during Cyclone Alfred, accommodating our extended stay when we couldn’t leave the state. The place was fantastic - great location and excellent amenities. We had a small issue at check-in, but the host resolved it smoothly. Thanks for having us!
