The Artists' Beach House, on the beach path
The house was perfect for our family of eleven. Morning walks to the beach, swimming in the pool, and the sounds of the tropical birds were very enjoyable for someone from Texas. A visit to Korunda Village, Baron Falls, Four Mile Beach, and snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef were easily accessible and enjoyed by all. I would recommend this beautiful home to anybody for a wonderful holiday!

Tranquility by the Lake - Luxury Home Port Douglas
The property is exactly as pictured, great house to suit for a large family. The indoor outdoor flow is fantastic for alfresco dining whilst enjoying the large pool. There are so many surrounding restaurants and attractions that are within walking distance which makes it more enjoyable if you don’t want to drive. All the finishing touches ensure you can enjoy a nice meal at home as the kitchen is very well equipped with such ample space. Would highly recommended this house to anyone!

Coral Tides
Another brilliant stay at peaceful Coral Tides. This is our third and we live the accomodation so much. Everything is perfect including the setting, comfort snd presentation. The pool is a special bonus and hosts so welcoming. Thank you!

"Namaste" - Private pool oasis in Palm Cove
A very beautiful part of the world and a comfortable and clean accomodation in a gorgeous neighbourhood to make our visit extra relaxing. The pool was a real hit with our family! The landscaping at this home and the surrounding homes is spectacular. Thanks for hosting us, Nikki :)

Villa Coralyah
We had the best stay! The place is perfect for families, providing space to be together and to have your own peace and quiet. The surroundings are lush and the pool area was beautiful, we didn’t want to leave.

Port Douglas Beach House Retreat
We had an amazing stay at Tanya’s beautiful 4-bedroom home in Port Douglas! The house was spacious, perfect for our family of four (including two teenagers), with plenty of room for everyone to relax. Having two lounge areas was a bonus, and the kitchen was great—it had everything we needed to cook our own meals after long days out. The pool was a highlight! It was exactly like the photos—sparkling clean and so inviting. Tanya gave us some excellent recommendations for restaurants and local attractions, which we found really helpful. One of our favourite tips was to take a morning walk along the stunning 4 Mile Beach, just a short stroll down the street. The location was ideal, situated on a quiet street but only a 5-minute drive to town. We had a rental car, so it was easy to come and go, and the peaceful surroundings made it feel like a retreat. We recommend it to anyone looking for a spacious, well-equipped home with a great pool in a quiet, convenient location. Thank you, Tanya.

A delightful surprise! The amenities, stunning views, and tranquil surroundings offered everything we could hope for in a perfect retreat!

Villa Nava – Chic Pool Oasis, Steps from the Beach
Villa Nava was the perfect home and location to spend our family holidays. Andrew was a wonderful host and nothing was too much trouble. Villa Nava was the perfect blend of resort luxury with a relaxed vibe. The kitchen is fantastic and the pool kept the kids entertained for hours. We highly recommend Villa Nava and can’t wait to stay again.

La Palma Luxury Retreat With Heated Pool Palm Cove
We had a fantastic stay at Rob’s property! The house was peaceful, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Its location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach and shops, making it incredibly convenient. The hosts were wonderful and always responsive, promptly answering all our questions. Although we encountered a couple of minor issues during our stay, they were resolved quickly and efficiently, which we really appreciated. Overall, this property provided the perfect getaway, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others. Thank you for a great experience!

Absolute Beachfront Family Home
What a wonderful airbnb!!! Perfect for our family, great set up, fully fenced for the dogs and my nephew. Spotlessly clean, comfortable, right across the beach. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a far North Queensland getaway without the Port Douglas hustle, bustle and price tag. Great location 5 minutes to Mossman and only 15 minutes to the centre of Port. Loved the pool and the house set up. Thank you Krystal 😊

Sea Olive Newell - charming beach retreat
I was there for five nights as a base to explore the Daintree Rainforest and the surrounding area. Lisa was very communicative and fast to answer emails. Self-checkin was a breeze, keys in a lockbox. The house had everything I needed for self-catering and laundry equipment was a real bonus after 2 1/2 weeks travelling. Close to a Woolworths and local attractions. Covered car parking and a covered verandah for outdoor seating. You can't go wrong here.

The Shack - 2min stroll to beach, lush lawn & pool
This was our second stay at The Shack, and it will not be our last! We love the whole retro vibe and the peaceful location. A great place for our group of friends when we visit Port Douglas. Scott and Helen are fabulous hosts and communication is excellent. Thanks again!

Huge heated pool , minutes walk to the beach
We loved our stay at this property! The layout is perfect for a group of 7 - 8, across the four bedrooms. It’s very open plan which is perfect for socialising but is well laid out so we never felt on top of each other and had plenty of room. The design of the house wraps around the pool which backs onto beautiful trees and really feels like a lush tropical escape. Check in was very easy and Bianca was very responsive with any questions. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking at a weekend away in Port Douglas.

Makilaki Ulysses Machans Beach Cairns
My Partner and I stayed here for two nights and had a lovely time, it was clean, quiet and peaceful. Moti was responsive to questions, polite and friendly.

The Beach House
We were lucky to stay at this beautiful beach house on very short notice after other accommodation fell through. Nicola was quick to respond and helped us get into the house within 30 minutes of contact. when we arrived the place was pristine with a lovely homey feel and decor that suited it's tropical beachfront location. Kitchen was extremely well stocked with thoughtful touches like included oils, sauces and washing up material. nothing worse than a stingy host! The back deck was lovely to sit on with views of their very secluded beachfront, it felt like our own personal beach! plenty of room for the 5 of us with a great pool to chill out in. Thanks for having us!

Beach House on Cinderella - absolute beachfront
We were very happy with the location and privacy of the house. It was very well equipped with everything we needed. Great view and loved going to sleep with the sound of the ocean and the birds. Close to the airport and Cairns. Thank you for the opportunity to stay at your place . I would definitely recommend your beach house to my friends and family.
