Family-friendly holiday rentals in South Stradbroke Island

Rod’s place was fantastic. We chose it because we have children aged 1, 2 and 4. It’s walking distance to everything - the beach, the pirate playground, great footpaths for scootering, walking distance to shops and restaurants and the facility also has a pool that is wade-in which meant our young children could splash in the shallow area without us holding them. The apartment was kitted out with everything we needed - and more! We brought our own baby Bjorn travel cot but they have the exact same one in the apartment. There was even a small step for toddlers to reach the sink. We loved having access to a few puzzles and books - we brought our own with us not expecting the apartment to have anything but my 4yo completed Rod’s 100 piece puzzles multiple times! The underground secure carpark is great. We drive a Kia carnival and had no problems with the carpark at all. Rod and Kathy provided very clear instructions and information. It was also extremely clean!

Gina’s place was spotless and well presented on arrival. Some lovely home touches and beautiful comfortable furnishings. We loved the outlook to the pool. This is great if you have kids that can swim as you can let them be free in the pool while you can keep an eye on them from the balcony and enjoy some peace . We would recommend Gina’s place .

The apartment is great, in a great location, with an incredible view. I simply loved it and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to go to the Gold Coast.

Caroline’s place at Surfers Aquarius was absolutely incredible! The view from the 33rd floor was simply breathtaking—waking up to that ocean view was something else. The apartment was spotless, stylish, and had everything we needed for a super comfortable stay. The building itself had great amenities, and the location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach, cafes, and shops. Caroline was a lovely host—very responsive and thoughtful. Easily one of the best Airbnb stays we’ve had. Highly recommended!

Celebrated my sister's Hens weekend on the Gold Coast over the weekend and stayed at Lisa's beautiful airBnB. There were 5 of us ladies and the unit was perfect for all of us with plenty of space and room to move about. Super clean, everything is exactly as it shows/says. Cafes & restaurants within walking distance and the tram stop 5min walk down the road. Ideal location. Lisa was very responsive and helpful. Shout out to Carly for showing us girls around and making sure we were feeling settled! Highly recommend this unit! ♡♡

The apartment was perfect – clean, comfortable, and within walking distance of the city. The complex had a nice swimming pool and spa, although the gym didn’t have much equipment. Communication was smooth and easy. I’d be happy to come back again

This is the perfect house for a family getaway. The house has plenty of space , a great yard and pool. Big kitchen with 2 fridges. All of our friends had a great time for much needed catch up. Debbie- Lyn was very accommodating and easy to reach if we needed anything. I would highly recommend this house for your stay!

This was our second booking with Jose & Liria and will continue to choose them (if available) for all of our future weekend family getaways!!! As per the first time we stayed, they were amazing and accommodating to my family and I. It's absolutely Home away from Home!! It's central to EVERYTHING and unless you want to catch a tram to Pac Fair etc, then everything else is within walking distance. Check in was smooth, check out was also good going. I highly recommend Jose & Lirias place!! It's family friendly and comfortable. if I could give more stars, I'd give 100/10 😁

Booked this AirBnb due to close proximity to our wedding venue. Groom and groomsmen stayed here the night prior to the wedding. I did not read the listing correctly and was unaware the the sleeping arrangement is one large bedroom with multiple beds, dorm style! Whoops. This was written on the listing however may need to be made clearer. The house and grounds itself was lovely and beautiful views.

Brad’s place was easy walking distance to great cafes and restaurants. It had everything that we needed, so we felt right at home. We were grateful to be able to be able to bring our dog along with us. Thanks Brad.

Second stay at this amazing place! Kynan was very responsive to our queries and the house is set up so well. Love the location on the water with beautiful morning and evening views.

Had a lovely stay with family. Perfect for 6 people. Very responsive host. Recommend!

Margeurite has made her B&B a real stand out. She has catered for every need, from any kitchen item down to ball throwers and balls for dogs. Her cottage is very cute, comfy, quiet and tidy. We would certainly recommend this accommodation to other people.

Nice and clean. It was so great that Estelle let us early which is so great. Love the bathroom bath and wash stuff smells amazing. amazing apartments would love to go back. My dogs had the best time going to the beach which is walking distance. Thank you

A lovely home to stay in - we had a wonderful relaxing family birthday celebration. :-) x

We loved staying at Andrea’s studio. It was great after a long road trip to walk into such a clean and welcoming studio. We really liked the little touches such as a coffee machine, kettle, toaster, hair care products and body wash products - all good quality. The studio is in a quiet residential street and is in a beautiful part of the Gold Coast. The shower was heavenly with a great massage head and excellent water pressure. We loved having our little fur baby with us and we would not hesitate to stay again.

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 😍

Absolutely perfect place for our 2 week holiday. The house had everything we needed and Maria was a pleasure to communicate with. Check-in and out was faultless and everything in-between. Would highly recommend to anyone, especially families. Location was spot on too.

Great place overall, but the best part was waking up to a stunning view of the river. The view makes this place absolutely perfect! It is also a huge apartment with access to spa and sauna which we loved. Close to the beach and to the Paradise shopping centre. The host was awesome, even providing local recommendations.

We’ve just had four nights at this property and WOW! The best views, left the car in the basement and walked everywhere. Had a great foot massage and Indian head and face massage just a two minute walk from the apartment. It’s winter so wonderful heating at night and sunny days to sit on the balcony and watch all the tandem skydiving people land onto the beach in front of us. We also got an amazing last minute price as well. I highly recommend this apartment and I’ll def be back and next time I’ll bring my Cavoodle. Don’t hesitate to book! 😊

We loved our time at this property! The hosts couldn't have made us feel any more welcome and the house was a favourite for us across our travels, giving us plenty of space and a really homely feel to spend our time. Places like this really add that little bit extra in making time spent travelling feel special. Would book again in a heartbeat!

Michelle was super communicative. Booked at the last minute and she had us sorted in no time. Arrived late at night and auto check-in was seamless. It was a work trip so we weren't there much, but the house was very tidy and well presented and had everything we needed. Highly recommend.

We had another wonderful stay. We love the view and the apartment. It’s very easy to get on and off the beach and we love the pool as well. The apartment is very comfortable and the wrap around balcony is great. Will definitely stay again.

Fantastic location right in Surfers with parking (essential!) Roomy comfortable apartment, well equipped and great pools and outdoor space. Clare was quick and responsive to any questions and her instructions and recommendations were great. Would definitely stay here again.
