Home in Noosaville
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 153 reviewsThe Seahorse ~ Family & Pooch Friendly Home
This was the perfect house for our family of 8. Very large so didn’t feel on top of each other. The house had everything we needed and check in was simple. Such a quiet and peaceful street and wonderful outlook on the canal. Waterfront was a novelty for the kids. Would highly recommended this location if you’re looking for a sleepy location but close to shops (7-8 min walk). We had a great stay and hope to be back again next year.
Waterfront condo rentals
Condo in Kings Beach
5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviewsKings Beach 3 b/r Townhouse - Perfect location!
Great location in Kings Beach, short 3 min stroll to main beach and cafes. Unit is very well appointed with modern appliances which would make a longer stay very convenient, particularly the large fridge freezer. Bedrooms are nice with ceiling fans for cooling. Host is very responsive and and accommodating when possible eg early late check in. Parking on site is a little tight but we were able to park close by in public parks. Parking might be an issue if you are coming and going many times a day in peak periods. There are a few flights of stairs to negotiate up to the living area and then again for the bedrooms. Overall we felt is was excellent value and location for such short notice at this time of the year. Thank-you Maryloo.

Condo in Mooloolaba
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 20 reviewsBoho beach Mooloolaba
Cute little apartment, plenty of space, well clean and organized. The apartment is a bit old, the door of the master bedroom did not have a locker, but still worth the stay. The shower was not working perfectly but had great pressure and water very warm, so still good enough. The location is great and good size for 4 people.
