Ideally situated, this older style classic 90's 3 storey villa is nestled in the dunes of Castaway & Marcus Beaches and surrounded by native bushland. With limited public access to the beach, you'll feel like you have your own private beach!

The space
The free-standing three-storey older 90's beach villa is part of a complex so you have access to a heated swimming pool with a BBQ area, and also use of the tennis court. It's a very quiet complex with most homes kept as private holiday houses.

The top floor is open plan, the large lounge and TV area affording magnificent ocean views. The dining area opens on to a balcony with outdoor setting with to Maroochydoore – ideal for whale-watching in season or the colourful spectacle of kite surfers moving up and down the beach on a windy day. The kitchen is fully equipped and is very much a part of the living space. The top floor also has a convenient powder room (saves extra trips up and down stairs!).

The middle level has a master bedroom with ensuite (and jacuzzi); the second bedroom has two single beds. Both rooms adjoin a more sheltered balcony. There is also a second bathroom, a laundry and toilet. The ground floor comprises the external side-entry area and a lock-up double garage with internal access. (The height clearance under the garage door is 2.0m, accommodating most larger vehicles without roof racks, but worth checking if the board is on top!)

Access to Marcus Beach is direct - in the middle of the beach houses at the front, there is a short pathway from the complex. It's one of the few pockets of land that is beach side with no roads to cross before you hit the sand. The bike path following the coast from Noosa to Peregian Beach is also accessed from this path.

It's nice to be out of the hustle and bustle of Noosa Main Beach and the crowds but close enough to go shopping, explore and dine. This is a place to simply make you feel comfortably at home by the beach; you may not even want to go out. If you're after a peaceful alternative, then we reckon this is the perfect holiday choice!

Please let us know if you have further questions. We would love to welcome you to our little piece of paradise.

Neighbourhood highlights

The beach out the front will be almost your own. It doesn't draw the crowds like Noosa main beach where you have to search for a spot in the summer. There’s oodles of space for the kids to play on the beach, or for you to choose a gutter to fish, jog as far as you wish, or to go for a rejuvenating swim. (Note: the beach out front is not patrolled by Surf Lifesavers. Those unfamiliar with the surf should consider the short drive, or leisurely stroll, to Peregian or Sunshine Beach. Both are patrolled in season.)

Noosa Junction is less than a 10min drive, with a Coles store, banks, variety of smaller shops and eateries, and a cinema complex. Hastings Street or Noosaville riverside are only another 5 mins further on. Heading south, Peregian village is only 4 mins away and has plenty of great little cafes, shops and boutiques and recently a large IGA has opened.

There are plenty of great places to eat out on the Sunshine Coast. If you want good food at a reasonable price with fantastic ocean views, you really can't go past the Sunshine Beach Surf Club (currently under renovation) or the one at Noosa Main Beach (which is always bustling). There are lots of eateries along Noosa River and you'll find pretty much every cuisine. There are some cute spots for brekky at Peregian or the Sunshine Beach "hub". For more upmarket dining, there are some high-end eateries (and some that are Michelin Star) along Hastings St. Bistro C is one of my faves and is right on the ocean front. Sails is a good choice if you're out to impress!

For the adventurous, you can hire Jet Ski's along Noosa River, go horse riding on the beach around Lake Wyeba or learn to surf on Noosa's main beach. There is also sky-diving, whale watching, diving, stand-up paddle boarding, the famous Australia Zoo or you can drive a 4wd on the sand at Rainbow Beach.

Further afield the hinterland is worth exploring, particularly Eumundi Markets (Sat morning) which are a popular spot (get there early) and the area around Maleny. Amongst Noosa hinterlands rolling valleys, you will find cafes, galleries, day spas, historic pubs and boutique vineyards. There are some great walking and bike trails to explore.


A definite must is a walk around the headland of the Noosa National Park with it's stunning walkways and picturesque, secluded bays. If visiting from overseas, it's the best spot for a potential Koala sighting (which if there have been any that day, are recorded on a board by the kiosk). If possible, it's best to visit during the week as weekends can be tricky to find parking.
