Waterfront vacation rentals in Great Barrier Reef

Fabulous few days in a desirable location by the sea. Host was helpful, friendly and responsive. Would definitely visit again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at isabell's property, very spacious and well equipped. we really enjoyed the balcony in the morning sun and walks along the promenade where there were some great restaurants within walking distance. lovely property and very well located in Cairns! slight hiccup getting into the property as there is a 'smart lock' as part of the door handle which we didn't spot, and assumed it was lockbox on the wall that required the code. however isabell was quick to answer and advise us. overall a wonderful stay and would recommend to anyone considering booking

We loved staying at Charlotte and Frank’s place. The apartment is beautifully decorated with everything you could possibly need. Excellent location close to shops and restaurants at the heart of Port Douglas. Charlotte was wonderful to deal with and very quick to respond to any requests. Would stay here again!

Excellent location and lots to do around surroundings. Family visited during school holidays and thoroughly enjoyed the location. We were able to watch ANZAC activities in the morning of the public holiday from the balcony. We will definitely stay there again while in Townsville!Lovely apartment!

Great stay, excellent location, bottle of wine was a nice touch :)

Kirsten was great with communications & responded quite quickly. The place was walking distance from the beach & everything I needed. I would highly recommend this place & I will definitely be trying to stay here again when next in Yeppoon

We had a great stay here with our (adult) child and her partner. It was a large, spotless and comfortable apartment with views over the gardens from the terrace. One evening we even saw a flying fox procession…amazing! Everything in the apartment is of great quality and we had everything we needed to make meals for us all. Claire was an attentive host…we couldn’t have asked for more!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful little home! The space was spotless, with every detail thoughtfully considered to ensure comfort. The peaceful atmosphere was exactly what we needed to relax and recharge. The bed was cozy, the amenities were top-notch, and the surrounding area was quiet yet conveniently located. Communication with the host was seamless, making the entire experience even better. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean and serene getaway.

The property is ideally located in walking distance of the beach. The extensive grounds make you feel somewhere special with a lovely veranda looking over the garden towards the sea. Check-in was very flexible and easy.

This place is incredible. We stayed with young children and this house was perfect. The hosts have thought of everything for the kids and adults. The kitchen was so well stocked with everything you need to cook and it was well organised and easy to find. The views are beautiful and the pool and BBQ area was such a well thought out space. The kids absolutely loved the theatre room and the clear pathways around the house to ride their bikes. This house exceeded all expectations.

This place is stunning both inside and out! It's a massive house with tons of space for all the kids to roam around. There's nothing quite like waking up to a breathtaking beach view every morning all from your bed. The outdoor space is just right for kicking back and taking it easy. Everything in this house is spacious, from the bathrooms to the kitchen and the even bedrooms! Everyone can enjoy their own space while still being together.

House was perfect for our families holiday with enough space for the kids. It was very clean, well presented and in a wonderful location being a short walk to the beach and close to shops and cafes. Charlotte was very helpful and responsive to any questions making our stay stress free.

Absolutely loved my stay at Sue’s Place. It was everything I hoped for and more. If you're craving peace, quiet, and a break from the chaos of everyday life, this is the spot. The home is beautifully styled with thoughtful touches that make it feel warm and inviting the second you walk in. It's clear Sue takes pride in her space. One of the biggest highlights for me was the secure yard. Traveling with my furbabes, and knowing they are safe and happy is always my priority. They had plenty of room to explore while I got to relax without worry. Waking up each morning, grabbing a coffee, and sitting out on the front verandah watching the ocean waves roll in, having ducks visit and listening to the birds, well it was pure magic. You can actually feel your shoulders drop and your mind slow down. The view is stunning and the calm is unmatched. It’s more than just a place to stay it’s an experience. Peaceful, pet-friendly, and picturesque. I’ll definitely be back.

Beautiful location for amazing beachside walks and easy access to town centre. Sitting on the deck was simply divine.

Great place to stay with your own peaceful area of the lake and easy access to the private pontoon. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

A beautiful location close to shop and beach. Clean accommodation with great space. Beautiful spa and deck area.

Excellent location and very responsive host, very happy will stay again if its available at the time

A sprawling home with great views. Kitchen was fabulous. The bedrooms and bathrooms were top notch. The patio area had comfortable seating. Even though the place is a part of a small group of apartments, it felt totally private. Covered car park was a bonus. Hosts are super responsive and helpful. One reaches the place through two flights of narrow stairs. It may be difficult to carry large luggage or if you have mobility issues. Otherwise this is a dream vacation home

Nice apartment, good location. Walkable into town and the waterfront. Would definitely recommend this stay

A beautiful and modern apartment with stunning views. All amenities were fantastic and we really enjoyed our stay. A cot was setup ready for our baby. Very minor note, the Wi-Fi across Bright Point is ok, but it can be unreliable, particularly in the evenings.

We traveled to Cairns for a family vacation! Christine’s place was top notch in terms of location and surroundings with very happening cafes & restaurants just around the corner. Moreover, we spent 2 days just enjoying the property with great ocean views and coffee ! Pool & tennis lawn added more entertainment! This relaxed city & the property has given our family a core travel memory! Highly recommend this property a great family vacation living experience !

Paul's unit is in a perfect location. We canceled our car rental because everything is very walkable. Great restaurants, markets, shopping, and activities in the area. The balcony has a beautiful view of the esplanade. Loved hanging out at dusk watching the fruit bats. We will stay here again if we return to Cairns for a holiday! Recommend Passions of Paradise for snorkel/dive coral reef. Great staff and a wonderful boat! Thanks, Paul!

This stay was perfect for family. Vanessa is a great host. She was very responsive and helpful, especially with flexibility regarding check in and check out timings. The apartment is tidy, clutter free, peaceful and has all the amenities one would need for several days of stay. I would love to visit again in future.. :)

Stayed nearly six weeks at Andrew’s condo and it was perfect in every way. The photos are accurate and the condo did not disappoint. Andrew was very responsive to all of our questions and he provided us with a few “local only” gems! The location is on the north end of the esplanade and it’s about a 30 minute walk to the lagoon. One some days….with the heat and humidity…..it was a LONG walk. But an Uber ride was easy to get and gave us a reprieve from that long walk for about $10AU. I am a hobby chef and Andrew’s kitchen provided me with everything I needed to cook at home. Note to other chefs…the only gourmet pantry shop I could find was Fresh in the Village in Edge Hill. (About a 10 minute drive from the condo). It’s a small cheese counter and deli and the best in town! If you’re considering booking this condo i recommend doing it right now. The calendar fills up fast.
