Apartment in Miami
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 207 reviewsMiami Beach Retreat
The most beautiful energy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Apart from the stairs (which others may struggle with but we found okay), the apartment was so easy with our 2 year old and two dogs. The location couldn’t be better, the beach, a park with playground and an area for the dogs to play, shops and restaurants all waking distance. Beds were comfortable. Although there isn’t air con, the ceiling fans were great and the apartment was never stuffy. Windows all open really wide and allow for air flow / beautiful breeze. Wouldn’t have minded some more things in the kitchen- bigger bowls for salads and serving dishes / platters / olive oil. All the basics were there but we did miss those things. I also really despise cooking on nonstick cook wear but realise this is a super personal thing and that is the easiest thing to have in an air bnb. We will definitely be staying again when we visit the Gold Coast (which we do quite often) (I may just have to bring my cast iron pan with me)
Home in Fingal Head
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 138 reviewsFingal Head Beachhouse - close to Dreamtime Beach
We really enjoyed staying here and grateful for all of the "home away from home" touches. The house is spacious and has everything you could need. First time in Fingal and had an awesome time, only wish it could be longer.
Home in Pottsville
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 47 reviewsPotty SURF SHACK
Such a beautiful spot, relaxing outlook on the back alfresco watching the native wildlife and sounds of waves from the beach just a short stroll over the headlands, great central location to Pottsville and a short bike ride away from Hastings Point. Will stay again!
Apartment in Kingscliff
4.71 out of 5 average rating, 128 reviews2 bedroom beachfront holiday unit, ground level
Fantastic location, right next to the restaurants and shops an on the main drag which can be noisy at times but we are well aware of it. It is an older building and some may find it a bit rough around the edges but we find it part of the charm and easy for my elderly mother that cannot walk too far to things. The hosts are so friendly and welcoming, we have stayed previously.

One of the best apartments you will find. Great location with a 2 min walk to the beach, great restaurants nearby with coffee, bottle shop and grocery store really close. The apartment has everything you need and you feel right at home. Cannot find a single fault.
Apartment in Burleigh Heads
4.83 out of 5 average rating, 69 reviewsStunning Burleigh Headland Beach Pad 100m to Beach
Lovely place to stay if visiting Burleigh!! Close to the beach, restaurants and shops, but away from the busy streets so it felt quiet and relaxing. It’s a spacious apartment, with a large courtyard. Access is easy, and the 1x off street park was much needed, when visiting in the peak of summer!
Guest suite in Kingscliff
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 124 reviewsBeautiful modern luxury beachfront unit
We had a wonderful stay at Debbie’s place. Beautiful place, great location, so close to the beach, coffee, restaurants and Parkrun. Debbie was very friendly and very helpful. We would highly recommend staying at Debbie’s place.
Home in Palm Beach
5 out of 5 average rating, 9 reviewsAbsolute Beachfront Bliss!
We planned a 7-day family holiday on the Gold Coast, that had a brief to combine theme parks and shopping. Our two families of four (kids aged 12–17) couldn’t have asked for better accommodation. Perfectly located, it offered easy access to all theme parks, Surfers Paradise, beach (literally your backyard), retail outlets, restaurants, chemist, groceries, bottle shop, and more. Affectionately called our "Beach Shack," it had everything two families needed to live comfortably. Perfectly furnished/decorated, with great kitchen facilities (two kitchens if needed) and all essential household appliances. Mornings on the deck with a coffee, watching beach goers, surfers and dolphins, or relaxing in the afternoon with a beverage, was one of the highlights this accommodation offers. The hosts are exceptional—responsive and helpful with any reasonable queries or requests. This was truly a home away from home, complete with breathtaking beach views!

Home in Surfers Paradise
4.78 out of 5 average rating, 37 reviewsAnchorage Waters Waterfront Mansion
We had an absolutely wonderful family holiday at Anchorage Waters. The house was just as stunning as it looked in the photos, beautifully laid out and incredibly clean. There was no shortage of activities for our kids and grandkids to enjoy, from the sparkling pool to the relaxing spa. Jenn was a fantastic host, ensuring we had everything we needed without being intrusive. The pool, BBQ, and spa were all well-maintained and clean, adding to the overall comfort and enjoyment of our stay. Without a doubt, this BNB holiday home deserves a five-star rating. We'll definitely be recommending it to our family and friends. Thank you, Jenn and the team, for providing such a memorable experience.
Apartment in Cabarita Beach
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 64 reviewsDIRECT BEACH ACCESS – 3 BED APART - CABARITA BEACH
This was total dream accommodation in a delightful coastal location. With direct access to the beach for safe swimming, surfing and body-surfing, walking paths and easy access to shops and restaurants – there's nothing more we could have asked for. We are looking forward to a time when we can return and stay longer - as it is only a 20 min drive from the Gold Coast Airport and 40 minutes to Byron Bay - making it a tru centre-point between all the theme parks and coastal activities... and if you wanted a drive into Brisbane, that is achievable too. Thanks for the great memories and delightful stay.

Home in Palm Beach
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 50 reviewsAbsolute Beachfront House in Palm Beach
One of the nicest and most caring host you will ever find. And the location- Unbelievable. It’s a small but cute and comfy house. We were a total of 3 adults and 2 kids and had an amazing time here. We were away from the hustle of Gold Coast but at the same time very near to every attraction. And the beach was my favourite part. So neat and clean. Water was as beautiful as it can possibly get. Thanks for letting us stay at your amazing place.
Condo in Surfers Paradise

The perfect location for a beach break. Great size unit for two people. Everything you needed provided. Step out the door and you’re on the beach, sit on the balcony and look at the beach or go for a walk along the beach. Close to restaurants,shops, markets and of course, the beach. Loved it, and we hope to be back in the not too distant future..😊
Vacation home in Cabarita Beach
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 60 reviewsIsla, Cabarita Beach | absolute beachfront abode
Adam has a great location, perfect for anyone wanting a beach getaway. For a family with 2 kids of 9 and 11, there is plenty of space/privacy in the 3 bedrooms and a 1 minute walk to the beach solves a lot of the issues in to and from the beach! Coupled with being a very responsive host, we would recommend highly. Come and experience Cabarita Beach!

Guest suite in Kingscliff
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 276 reviewsLuxurious beachside home (entire first floor)
We had a lovely three days here in December. The private pool was beautiful and cool on the hot and humid days we were there. There was an issue with the aircon remotes in the middle of our trip and these were looked at and fixed straight away. Really friendly neighbourhood, quiet and safe, just across the road from the beach. We self catered and the kitchen had everything we needed. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
