Great location and very pet friendly with courtyard.
A lovely clean and comfortable stay, with a great private courtyard and comfortable bed in a quiet street close to shops and the beach. Really great for humans and pets alike. The only downside was that it advertised a kitchen when there wasn't one, except, fridge, microwave and outdoor BBQ, which was communicated after booking was made. However, overall, a great stay.

Great couple stay with pet
The accommodation was clean, fresh and beautifully styled. It had everything we needed for a short stay where we are out for most meals. The outside of atio was private and lush and safe for our small senior dog. The dog friendly beach was great and a short walk from our accommodation. Great place for couples and a small dog.

Great little hidaway
Lovely little place, my husband is not good on his feet, but we managed, the shower was very slippery, I needed to put the foot mat down in the shower, was afraid of falling, a hand rail in there would be a definite help. But yes we also loved the location, thank you very much to our hosts. Sandy Church.

Excellent Small Couple's retreat.
If you are looking for a couple's retreat on the Sunshine Coast this is the place for you. The bedroom / bathroom is well appointed and though not a large living area you have the facility of a small private outdoor retreat which is pretty and restful. The beach is only one street over and an easy walk. The hosts, Meredith and Alli, couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating. I would recommend this stay to any couple who where looking for privacy and a good jump off to the Sunshine Coast.

We loved our stay in this cute little studio for 10 days. The BBQ was a bonus, we could ride our bikes along the beachfront, walk to the shops, cinema, eateries. We felt very safe in our secluded garden. For us, the best part was being able to stay with our cat - he travels with us full time - he slept in the garden during the day and only had to worry about the odd bird annoying him. We would definitely stay again.🤗 communication was excellent.- the bottle wine was also a winner .. Thankyou for having us.

I loved that the property was very close to the beach and i could listen to the waves at night. The bed was amazingly comfortable and the bathroom was spacious and thoughtfully accessorised. The kitchen caddy was cramped and the bar fridge door dragged on the floor. The lounge unfortunately was rather uncomfortable; not comfortable to watch the tv on. It was an added bonus for the WiFi to be provided to watch Netflix and YouTube. Overall, a good little place to stay short-term.
