Family-friendly vacation rentals in Deception Bay

Annette is The Best host you can ask for. Very responsive, proactive and really good-hearted. She took the extra effort to inform me of potential road closures on my road trip due to flood. Not only that, upon hearing that my flight timing from Singapore was advanced by few hours, without any hesitation she told me to just come early 7am check in, and this happened months before the trip, and even told me that no worries about any potential booking the day before. Talking about the house, it was great. Lots of space and privacy, and the jacuzzi is wonderful to use on a cold early winter night. It’s like onsen experience but a lot more private. The surrounding of the house is beautiful and peaceful. Of course you will need car to get around but then again you need a car everywhere in Australia. And the supermarket is just 3 minutes drive away within the same estate (no need to drive to main roads). Overall if we come back to Brisbane again, we know where to stay. Thank you Annette!

Everything is great! Super friendly and flexible landlord!! Glad to come back !

We would have stayed longer if the place was available. We stayed for 1 week and it was well worth what we paid for. The place was homely, clean and spacious. We were able to cook our own meals with the fully equipped kitchen. The location is perfect, you have the train station across the road and you’re behind the town centre so everything is accessible via walk; restaurants, supermarkets, bakeries. But importantly, it’s still quiet and private despite it being so close to everything. Adam was a great host, very friendly and his communication was excellent. We had trouble with the vacuum and he came through and helped us with it. We will absolutely stay again when we visit family in Cleveland. Thanks Adam! Highly recommend.

Very peaceful property and lovely area! Cottage had everything we needed for our stay and was great for the kids. Hosts were very responsive and even dropped off a basket of homemade goodies and delicious scones! We had a great stay.

Our stay in Leith’s apartment was absolutely the best! The location is perfect, and the apartment has everything you could possibly need. We couldn’t have asked for more. thank you. cheers jodie

Great spot - new and well appointed. Clean and easy to get in, which was great! Amazing views of the dolphins feeding which serves as a great backdrop to sundowners!

It was a great stay. There were three families in total (including kids), and the rooms were tidy and spacious. The chocolates on the beds were a lovely touch—the kids especially enjoyed them. The swimming pool was a lot of fun. Although we didn’t have much time to relax in the house because we were busy exploring the Gold Coast and visiting the theme parks, it still felt like a home away from home. We’ll definitely return to the Gold Coast someday because we truly enjoyed our holiday and our stay at Debbie-Lyn’s home in Thornlands.

The delightful host met me at the apartment with milk & snacks then showed me round. It is luxurious and has a well stocked pantry. Beds are comfortable & powerful showers. Lots of towels. Walking distance to the ferry, buses and footbridge to get into the CBD. If I could give more stars then I would. I would definitely rebook this apartment.

Absolutely stunning property. Everything was perfect we had a great break there. Our pup loved the place, she played tennis, love meeting Mixie. Great hosts

Had a wonderful Easter long weekend at Julie's. Amity was the perfect spot for us (2 adults, 2 kids and our doggo) - we enjoyed the sunsets, coffee at Bo's and drinks at the Pav. Our dog's fave part was the daily drive we'd made to Home Beach :) Julie's beach house was lovely and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. With an amazing collection of artwork, books and kitschy knick knacks, one can tell that Julie is a wanderlust herself - which makes Airbnb such an amazing platform for travelers. We hope to visit again one day. Straddie is such a special place, and we acknowledge the Quandamooka people and their ownership of the land we'd visited.

Mellum Retreat is a lovely little get away from home. It's private, but easy to access and find. It's close to lots of beautiful places like Maleny and Montville and the Sunshine Coast. The hosts are lovely to deal with and the studio room was comfortable, clean with lots of amenities provided. I would happily stay there again when I was not busy at a local event and had more time to explore the area.

Lovely home perfect for our family. Amber was very helpful from start to finish. Spotlessly clean and comfortable. The Taylor’s

Excellent location! Fiona has thought of every last detail for your stay! Highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A great location. A cosy comfortable well equipped cottage space. Very clean So good to have a great little garden for our little dog. We would highly recommend the Fire Station and would certainly return if visiting Brisbane. Thank You.

Alyssa’s place is in a quiet, peaceful location, perfect for relaxation. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well-equipped, and the living room and balcony provided great spaces for family time. Alyssa and her partner were very friendly, and her son was so kind to play with my kids. Highly recommend this cozy, welcoming spot!

Thank you Dawn for yet another awesome holiday experience! Coming from the Netherlands this was our 3rd time, for 6 weeks here and we will keep coming back. Dawn is the perfect host, dog lover and we thoroughly enjoyed her friendly company! Everything was very clean and fresh. The location is perfect, with a lot of beautiful birds around. Grocery shopping is a 5 minute drive away to Woolworths and ALDI. Again thank you so much Dawn, cheers Lyn and Bert.

We had a wonderful stay at Mimi’s place last weekend. The location was great and Mimi was so helpful and accommodating. We can’t wait to come back!

This place exceeded expectations for us, with the space, and the lovely quiet location. Shops were a short drive away, with lots of food and other options. Very responsive hosts, with generous stocked fridge and cupboard, great large screen Tv, styling was just right - pleasant and tasteful, not overdone or underdone. Beds were super comfortable. It really met our need for a nice tranquil week away, to recharge and spend time together. The pool looked so nice and inviting, but mid winter chill kept us cosy inside most of the time. Be great to return in warmer weather, if we ever have the chance. Thanks for making available, a really nice place, and providing for our needs so well. Cheers!

What a brilliant week we had. This place is beautiful and made our family holiday. Donna is absolutely lovely and made everything a breeze. We can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend for everyone wanting a perfect getaway!

Mandy's house was immaculate and well presented and very user friendly. Mandy was very responsive to questions as well as being very helpful. The stay was a pleasure.

Great location and we enjoyed our stay spending time exploring the City. The kids loved the pool.

The apartment is in a great location - walking distance to the surf club and tavern, beach, park and cafes. It is very well equipped (especially loved the kids bowls/cups, DVDs and colouring in). Comfy beds/couches and lovely that we could see the ocean from the balcony. We had a great time and hope to visit again in the future!

We had a great stay at Point Lookout. This house is in a good location and had plenty of character. We loved using the tennis rackets to play tennis at the courts across the road. It’s a short bike ride town the main part of town. The house had everything we needed for a great stay.

The host was very helpful, hospitable and very friendly. As I said prior I would grade her with AAA ++
