Ultimate Tropical Holiday - Turtle Beach Resort
Very happy with our stay. Fantastic location with kids. So much to do and Jackson had provided all the items needed for the activities available in the Resort such as golf balls/clubs, basketball, tennis balls/rackets, Nintendo Switch etc. Well equipped for kids with high chair, toddler step, plastic plates etc. It is on the 3rd level, so lots of stairs. But worth it. Beautifully decorated, very comfy beds and stylish fittings. A little oasis. Amazing pools and Resort editions such as a cinema, cafe, water slides… fun! We really enjoyed our stay and are looking forward to rebooking next time.

Essentia Apartment Cozy 1BR, GYM, Pool
Great location and value for money.

Stylish 1BR in Heart of GC with Hinterland Views
Good spot, great unit, great price. Would definitely recommend!

OCEAN & CITY @ Oracle Level 32
Enjoyed our stay here. The views are fantastic and the place was exactly as described. The team were proactive in their comms so overall experience was excellent.

‘Blue View’ On Palm Beach.
Our stay was the perfect getaway. Absolutely stunning beach & ocean views, beautiful and clean apartment, exceeding our expectations. Convenient location to accessing cafes, restaurants & grocery stores, which are within a short walking distance. We loved our scenic beach walks to other areas of the Gold Coast, making our experience even more enjoyable. Karine was very informative and kind, always ready and available to help. We hope to return on our next visit to Australia. Highly recommended!

Amazing View & Relaxing Apartment in Surfers!
Great location with stunning views. Host was very accommodating and communication was great. Very comfortable apartment. Would definitely stay again.

Luxury Riverside 2 Bedroom Apartment
Hands down one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at. The city is super walkable with lots to do and see. The apartment has a great view of the city as well. Very private location. I felt right at home. Thank you, Christian and Ali!

Burleigh by the Sea
Absolutely loved our stay at Helen’s place in Burleigh Heads! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by refreshing sea breezes and sweeping views to die for. The apartment was impeccably clean, with every detail thoughtfully considered. Helen’s beautiful styling created a space that felt luxurious yet homely — a true coastal sanctuary. The balcony quickly became our favourite spot — perfect for soaking in the sun, sipping a morning coffee, and watching the surfers and the passing parade below. We also enjoyed daily walks along the headland, taking in the breathtaking beauty of Burleigh and its surrounds. Helen was a wonderful host — warm, responsive, and respectful of our privacy. If you’re after relaxation, style, and that unbeatable Burleigh vibe, this is the place. Can’t wait to return!
Waterfront house rentals

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!

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 😍

Broadbeach Bungalow - Heated Pool & Jetty Sleeps 7
Great location and beautiful house. Will be staying there again when I'm in Broadbeach again.

Gold Coast Island Life South Stradbroke Island
Lindy’s place is always a favourite of ours. This was our second trip and we love this place. Lindy is a great host. No complaints

Beach House Tugun
Perfect location with the beach so close. We had our baby and 2yr old so the little yard was perfect to keep them contained and not a long walk back from the beach. Minimalist and simple furnishings. Communication was great too. Would stay again!

Luxury Waterside Oasis
Excellent place, great location and responsive hosts.

The Creek House 4215 Chirn Park Gold Coast
We had a fantastic stay at Helen’s place! The house was spotless and beautifully maintained — it was clear a lot of care goes into keeping it clean and comfortable. Helen was an incredibly friendly and welcoming host, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The location was perfect — peaceful, scenic, and close to everything we needed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.

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.
Waterfront condo accommodation

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!

Luxury 1 BR Ocean View Apt with wifi netflix stan
My stay at Peter’s apartment was beyond all my expectations. The apartment was absolutely perfect with magnificent ocean views. The set up was fantastic! With a big screen TV and a king size bed that was to die for. First time I’ve had a proper sleep in 25 years. Amazing!! I honestly couldn’t recommend this apartment enough. I shall be back at every chance I can get. Thank you again for your wonderful hospitality and for allowing me to stay in your beautiful apartment. Cheers, Mark

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.

Currumbin Creek Unit
Very easy process. Quick responses. Great location. Value for money. Highly recommend Martin and the apartment.

Jewel Luxury 2-Bedroom with Pool, Spa, Sauna & Gym
Very responsive and helpful host always makes a difference! Clean modern apartment, awesome location
