Stylish 1BR in Heart of GC with Hinterland Views
Great communication, beautiful place & amazing location! Highly recommend

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
I had a very good holiday with my family. Really loved the apartment and its view to ocean. Much recommended and surely will be choosing to book with Caroline in future again

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
After reading amazing reviews about Sandra’s place, we were keen to see for ourselves, and what an exceptional experience we had. Sandra has thought of everything from plenty of towels, to beach/pool towels to, tea and coffee making facilities to a thoughtful gift hamper. You name it, Sandra had thought about what people need to make a home away from home. Highly recommend this property and look forward to staying at Sandra’s again.

Luxury Riverside 2 Bedroom Apartment

Waterfront house rentals

Island Beach House Country Cabin
Peaceful and quiet, just what we were after. Locals are all happy, chatty and very friendly. Definitely worth a visit or maybe even longer, and definitely bring some bug spray for the sand flies. Clean tidy and up to expectations

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 Fish off the deck
We had an absolutely amazing stay! The house on the water was even better than we expected - honestly, the photos don’t do it justice. The views were stunning, especially the sunsets, which were truly out of this world. The home was spotless, beautifully set up and had everything we needed. It was especially great for families with young kids - lots of thoughtful amenities that made our stay so much easier. Highly recommend!

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.

Luxury Waterfront Villa in Paradise. Pets Welcome.
A beautiful place to stay. Very happy and would highly recommend.

This is the 2nd time we have booked the property and will be back again next year. Beautiful property.

Waterfront Surfers Central House Spa Pet 12 Ppl
Great accommodation for a group stay. Within walking distance of the vibrant nightlife!
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!

Ocean view 1 bedroom apartment
Such a cute place, so close to the beach and a great location to all of Kirra and Coolangatta everything within walking distance. House was very clean and comfortable.

Luxury, 2 Bedroom Ocean View Apartment
This apartment is really stunning and we loved our stay here. We felt really at home and the apartment has gorgeous ocean views and is beautifully decorated. There are lots of useful things there for you to use during your stay (such as a beach tent!) and the whole apartment is really well thought out. We would definitely stay again!

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!

Fabulous Views - 2 BDR Apartment - Fun times
Amazing apartment! The view alone made our vacation so much better! Sharryn is an amazing host, easy to communicate, very friendly and proactive. The area is very vibrant with beautiful beach and park right across the street. Thanks Sharryn for hosting us!

High floor ocean view & spa @ Legends hotel
Stayed at Aaron’s place over easter weekend. We loved every bit of it. View was amazing. Apartment was very clean and it was centrally located within all the amenities of surfers paradise. We will definitely come back to stay when we come back to Gold coast.

Beachy, Ocean View, Wi-Fi, Opp Beach & Surf Club.
Very enjoyable stay, a lovely view of the ocean, a balcony view of the Gold Coast marathon and easy walk to the local restaurants and cafes. Carolyn was a wonderful host 😊

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