Loved the ocean views, especially at sunrise, and hearing the rush of the waves lull us to sleep. Clean and tidy, well equipped for the beach. Easy walk and a very nice pool with spa and a pickleball court on the grounds.

It is impossible to put in to words the complete magic our stay was. The pictures do not serve it justice! We had the most incredible girls trip, we were all blown away. Any accomodation will struggle to compare to how amazing it was! Caroline was extremely responsive. Beds were super comfy, absolute beachfront! and the views do not compare to anywhere I have stayed in the world. Thank you Caroline from all of us! Truly incredible.

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 150 reviewsBeachside Super Blest
Amazing unit. Great view of ocean. Surf club across the road. Only downside, pool and court not available due to extensive construction. This is a family property, does not suit guests with. Multiple cars, only one car spot, other cars can park on road for 3 hours only 10-6 (I think) then you HAVE TO MOVE CAR OUT OF SURFERS PARADISE AREA. That’s painful. Tip, take one car only then the unit is PERFECT.

We loved our stay here at Jill’s place. The apartment is very large, great furniture & plenty of room for the four of us to spread out on the generous couch. The views are spectacular! Great ocean views and mountain views at the back. Enjoy your shower or spa with a view. Kitchen well stocked & handy to have a dishwasher. Lovely towels & linen provided. Comfortable sleep and very quiet at night. The apartment was very clean & we really appreciated the gifts the hosts left for us. It was a pleasure staying here. Highly recommended!

We fell in love with the Potty Surf Shack ❤️ we will definitely be back again to stay, hopefully for a lot longer. The house was a delight to be in and perfect for fur babies, with the beach only a hop skip and jump away it met all of our expectations. Wendy and David are wonderful to deal with as hosts online. It was a joy to stay in there holiday home at Pottsville NSW. ❤️

Guest suite in Kingscliff
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 110 reviewsBeautiful modern luxury beachfront unit
Debbie and Jim were great hosts and the place was just fantastic. The backyard was practically the beach. We went with our dog who enjoyed his stay too. The place was immaculately clean and beautifully located with plenty of restaurants nearby. Debbie and Jim personally checked with us every day to see how we were going. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a quiet getaway amongst the nature. We could hear the waves from the room, hear the birds in the morning, walk to the beach in a minute to see the glorious sunrise and pod of whales swim past. Above all, the hosts were awesome. In short everything seemed perfect.

What a view. From the top floor unit, the view is simply breathtaking. The unit was clean, new (recently renovated) and spacious. The building facilities were also clean and in good condition.
