1960's weekender fully renovated 3 mins to beach

ErinRating, 5 stars5 days ago

Everything was perfect as expected. However, if you have two vehicles, this probably needs to be considered when staying here, as street parking isn’t as close as expected and immediate out the front of house parking is limited to one car spot or for a smaller to medium size vehicle, which makes things a bit difficult haha. Otherwise, amazing stay, super close to beach and convention centre and other services. I definitely recommend!! <3 amazing service from host too.

A spacious living area is presented with large glass doors that open to a balcony with ocean views. The room features a stylish glass coffee table, a comfortable leather sofa, and decorative plants. Bright light filters through the slatted window coverings.

Location Beachside! 9th floor 280degree views

AlanRating, 5 stars1 day ago

This is the second time I’ve stayed here with my young family. We love the apartment and the amazing ocean views. It has everything you need with secure parking, great amenities, and a great pool and gym area. The surrounding area has so much to offer for fun actives, and we look forwarding to returning again in future.

A spacious bedroom is seen featuring a comfortable bed with light striped bedding and a decorative teal throw. Large windows provide stunning ocean views and natural light, while a flat-screen TV hangs on the wall. A dining area is subtly visible in the background.

Spectacular Surfers Paradise Luxury BEACHFRONT

TimRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

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.

The image captures a panoramic view of beachside buildings along the Gold Coast, highlighting a low-rise resort home situated directly on the beachfront. The sandy shore extends beautifully, while the skyline features a mix of luxurious high-rises and the expansive ocean in the foreground.

Dream Beachside Family Holiday, Spacious, Big Pool

AshleyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Our stay was absolutely fantastic! The location couldn't have been better—just a short walk to the beach and the vibrant main street of Surfers Paradise. Lisa & Shane were exceptional hosts—warm, welcoming, and incredibly communicative from the moment we booked. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was seamless, always happy to assist with anything we needed. Despite a cyclone hitting the day before our arrival, the property was immaculate—a true testament to their dedication and care. It’s clear that Lisa & Shane genuinely want their guests to have the best experience possible. We’ll definitely be back—thank you both for an amazing stay!

A sunlit living area is featured with a large beige sofa adorned with decorative cushions. A coffee table sits on a neutral rug, accompanied by potted plants. A flat-screen TV is mounted on the wall opposite, while an archway leads to another section of the apartment.

TOP location. Beach Resort Apartment 2bed 2bath

SueRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

An excellent family-style holiday place that has excellent air conditioning, surprisingly uncrowded lifts/pool/tennis court/carpark for a very warm weekend in March only 2 weeks after the cyclone. Beach was in great condition; coastal path fantastic for walking/kids with scooters, as was the two nearby playgrounds (DO visit Laguna Park as well as the pirate playground!) Good beach and water views even from this corner of the building, and the double-glazing on the bedrooms helped keep the highway noise down.

A spacious balcony features a dining table with four black wicker chairs and potted plants. The view overlooks greenery towards the beachfront, with ocean visible in the distance. Large glass doors allow natural light to fill the area, enhancing the connection with the outdoors.

Beachfront Pool BBQEntire Unit Sleeps 4 LUG

KeirenRating, 5 stars1 week ago

My family and I loved our 6 night stay at Jill's apartment in Palm Cove. The apartment itself was very clean and spacious and it had great views of the beach. Even though we couldn't fit our ute into the carpark, there was plenty of on street parking nearby. Having the Tallebudgera Surf Life Saving Club so close was ideal, as their restaurant is fantastic for both lunch and dinner. We would definitely stay again at Jill's place.

A spacious dining and living area features a wooden table with woven chairs, complemented by a cozy seating arrangement. Large glass doors invite ample natural light and provide views of the ocean and the beachfront from within the house.

We had a wonderful stay at Alison’s place. The position was amazing - looking out to the beach and enjoying the view from the veranda was spectacular. Alison was very helpful throughout our stay.

Beachside Tower - right on the beach!

HaoyunRating, 5 stars2 months ago

This is one of the cleanest, most beautiful apartments I have ever stayed in. The location is unparalleled. Every day, I fall asleep to the sound of the ocean and wake up to the gentle, silk-like sea breeze. Opening the window reveals the endless expanse of the blue sea. This apartment is highly recommended. Friends visiting the Gold Coast must stay here for a few days to experience a true paradise.

Breathtaking Beachfront Home with Hot Tub

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 46 reviews1 week ago

We just loved this place - amazing location right on the beach (not across the road, not across the park but right on the beach). This is a Multi Million Dollar Value location with a very beach friendly house set up. Presentation, cleanliness and communication are first class and we will be back. Would have loved a bbq but hey having had air bnb's I know how people dont clean them but for me personally it is game changer in this location to have a bbq to enjoy the evenings cooking and eating right on the beach. Location wise you are walking distance to coffee shops and restaurants. Wanting to go to the best authentic Italian ever - then Balboa is a 10 minute walk & is next level food and service. All in all a dream holiday house and we will be back !

I could not say enough about how friendly and helpful Cara and her husband were. In regard to communication and checking in with us as customers, I could not ask for anything more than they delivered. It was amazing service. In the aftermath of cyclone Alfred, she still ensured everything was set up perfectly for her guests, with a lovely gift on arrival and alternative options to reach her. The accomodation has a beautiful resort look and feel.

Beautiful, modern apartment with everything you need for a great staycation. Excellent location being a stones throw from the beach and a bus ride to Burleigh heads. One of the comfiest beds I’ve ever had! Worth noting the pool doesn’t get any sun but that didn’t bother us we still enjoyed it, also there is no bbq. Would definitely stay again!

StephanieRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We loved our stay, well set up with the little extras like basic pantry staples, body wash, shampoo & conditioner, laundry detergent. Location is amazing - across the road from Nobbys beach and walking distance to Nobbys restaurant/cafe strip. Parking great for large vehicles - hard to find for a lot of accomodation. House was as described and presented in pictures. Carolyn was great to communicate with and assisted with providing cot and baby bath at late notice. Would recommend stay.

A panoramic view captures the serene coastline, where gentle waves meet a sandy beach. The landscape features a mix of residential buildings and lush vegetation, while distant hills rise against a backdrop of a partly cloudy sky. The vibrant hues of the ocean blend harmoniously with the shore.

The house was very average for the price and I wasn’t thrilled with the bunk bed situation, but the kitchen and common space was great with a fantastic view and walk right out to the beach! That part made up for the bedrooms. The showers were also great! It rained the whole time but pushing open the sliding doors and looking out to that view was so peaceful. Kelly was a wonderful host!

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!
