Two-Bedroom Apartment Right In Front Of The Beach!

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 21 reviews5 months ago

We had an amazing stay! The place was spotlessly clean and wonderfully quiet, providing everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. It was incredibly spacious for the three of us, and the pool area was a standout—warm, with plenty of shaded spots and a BBQ area, perfect for relaxing. The other guests were delightful, friendly, and always up for a good chat! Our time here felt too short, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!

Palm Cove Oceanfront Resort Two-Bedroom Apartment

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 37 reviews1 week ago

Amazing stay in Palm Cove! The beach is right outside the font door. The kitchen is very well equipped. Complete with salt & pepper along with lots of utensils and containers. There are plenty of towels, tea towels etc. The toiletries provided were pretty nice too (Shampoo, conditioner, soap, body wash, body lotion and bath salts) There were enough blankets etc. The property is immaculately maintained, pool and outdoor areas are pristine Highly recommend to anyone One note though (re: the area) - do your shopping before you get to the suburb of Palm Cove. There are two very small & expensive supermarkets. Stop at Coles on the way over. We really enjoyed our stay, thanks again!

Beachfront Dome #8 on the Esplanade Trinity Beach

4.77 out of 5 average rating, 99 reviews1 month ago

Stayed in Trinity beach for 6 nights. Dome was perfect for our stay and had everything that was needed, including beach towels. Cottage feel to the area and other guests/tenants were very friendly and welcoming. Shaded pool onsite was a nice alternative to the netted beach right across the street where there wasn't much shade. Centrally located that we could drive to Cairns for the day, Kuranda, or check out the other beaches nearby. Hosts were very responsive and easy to reach. Had trouble reading the dials on the stove but got it sorted quickly via messages. Highly recommend as it is a different experience from staying in a hotel or resort!

Trinity Beach Tropical Hideaway

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviews3 months ago

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

I had a wonderful stay at this seaside place. The location was perfect—just steps away from the ocean. The host was incredibly warm and thoughtful, even preparing small treats like bottled water and chocolate. The home was spotless, and the attention to detail really stood out.
