Private Pool - Beach Townhouse

FelixRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Jade was an absolutely amazing host - incredibly helpful and accommodating. Always responded quickly and allowed us to rearrange our check in and check out times to fit with our flights. The house is in a beautiful, peaceful neighbourhood, and only a few minutes walk away from the shops and right next to the beach.

Cairns Kewarra Beachfront Home

ChiaraRating, 5 stars3 months ago
In the 8 years I have been using Airbnb this was by far my best experience ever. The house was even more beautiful than the pictures online. Lisa was an amazing host. Always willing to help and super flexible. We are so grateful for our stay here. The house was so clean and cosy. The kitchen had all the necessary tools. The house was spacious and luminous. The pool is amazing to relax and offers enough space in the shade to read a book. We also loved the fact that the house was so close to the beach. Ideal to run in the morning or do a nice walk along the coast. The perfect house if you want a nice getaway with your family or a group of friends. Would 100% recommend and if we ever come back we will surely stay here. Once again, thank you Lisa from the whole family. ❤️

Beach House on Cinderella - absolute beachfront

ClairRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Beautiful home right on the beach front in a gorgeous location close enough to amenities but far enough away to enjoy the solitude and surroundings. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend a few nights away in Cairns.

Stayed at the Palm Cove house with my husband and 2 children for the last four days of our holiday in Cairns. The house was beautiful and clean. We had such a wonderful time there. Everything was amazing. The house is even better in person. Would 100% recommend and if we return to Palm Cove we will definitely stay here again! Thank you.

Poolside GF 2 BR with spa- Beach Club 3213/3214

CatherineRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Tony is so lovely, hospitable and so helpful. With free airport transfers in a nice vehicle with baby car seats, and accommodation with a view of the pool and including a highchair, portacot and toys, this was the perfect place for a holiday with a young family. He helps you take your luggage right to your room and on the last day he helped collect and store it until it was time to go to the airport. We wanted to have breakfast at a cafe while we waited and it was pouring with rain so he drove us to where we wanted to go. He went above and beyond. We look forward to another holiday at Tony’s place.

Coral Sea view 2 - Trinity Beach

MartinRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The location was stunning. There was a lovely swimming pool and a spacious veranda looking out onto the sea. It was very peaceful and the house was immaculate. The beach was a five minute walk away. We had a lovely break and couldn't have asked for anything more.

The Whitehouse, Palm Cove. Welcome to Paradise!

PaulineRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Our 2 families with kids had a great stay at the White House! We felt right at home, the host was very helpful and welcoming and all the equipments made it a very easy stay. The pool was the highlight for the kids and grown ups! You can walk to the beach and a good number of restaurants. A few minutes drive to the supermarket and good location for all sorts of attractions (crocodiles, rainforest, snorkeling cruises, etc). Definitely recommend!

Arthouse cottage on the beach

LotteRating, 5 stars16 months ago
We really loved this pearl with the beutifull view. Really great atmosphere inside the house with art (some by the owner) and quirky stuff everywhere. Easy to get on trips and head out on tours in the area, and with at nice neighbourhood pub. We quickly got used to the heat and enjoyed the nice garden with its rich variaty of animals. We would come again if we had the chance 🌴🌴🌴

Corinne was exceptional in her communication and was always responsive to requests. The apartment met all our needs, and the location is amazing. As a frequent visitor to Trinity Beach, I would stay at Corinne's apartment again. Corinne went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and provided many extras which was wonderful. Thank you Corinne, we totally enjoyed our stay in your apartment.

Palm Cove Beach Retreat

JohnRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We loved staying at Wayne’s place! The kids absolutely loved the pool, especially lit up at night. We also loved that the pool was shaded early in the morning and from mid afternoon. It does get a bit slippery on the tiles around the pool though. The house is very cool, calm and comfortable for a family of five, with an excellent kitchen, and two sizable bathrooms. Despite being on the main road in to Palm Cove it is exceptionally quiet. It’s only a short walk down to the Palm Cove beach and restaurants, and five minutes’ drive to the supermarket at Clifton Beach. It’s a great base for day trips to Kuranda or Hartley’s, and being only half an hour from Cairns it’s easy to pop in to town for dinner and an evening splash in the lagoon. We didn’t find much to do for our family in Palm Cove itself, but that wasn’t a problem as we had a hire car and were happy to explore up and down the coast and into the hills. Wayne is a fantastic host, thanks for having us!
