Family-friendly vacation rentals in Runaway Bay

The property was perfection for a holiday stay!! Everything was just right, the pool and back view was amazing. It was in a great area where everything was easy to get to. The host is absolutely outstanding and helpful. 10/10 would recommend 😍

Fantastic peaceful location, easy walk to cafes and hiking trails. House was clean and comfortable with everything we needed for a self-catering family getaway.

The views alone make this place worth staying at. They were breathtaking. So much to watch. But the apartment was amazing too. Everything you needed was there. Comfy beds. The pools were great, parking easy. Stepping out straight to the beach was great. A 15 min walk to Surfers Paradise. We will definitely stay here again. Friendly people in the building too which was nice.

Absolutely perfect place for our 2 week holiday. The house had everything we needed and Maria was a pleasure to communicate with. Check-in and out was faultless and everything in-between. Would highly recommend to anyone, especially families. Location was spot on too.

Could not have been a better weekend away at Jenny’s place at Broadbeach. Perfectly located between the beach and the shopping centre. Cafes and parks all within a short walk. Lovely apartment very big balcony and spacious inside. Very modern and all the amenities you need. Can’t fault it. Would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely amazing stay! The highlight was definitely the balcony — we could watch both the sunrise and sunset right from there, each painting the sky with breathtaking colors. At night, the city lights created a magical view that we couldn’t get enough of. The beach was just a short walk away, making morning strolls and evening beach visits so easy and enjoyable. The place was spotless, well-equipped, and truly felt like a home away from home. Pete was very responsive. Highly recommend this stay — we’ll definitely be back!

Michelle was super communicative. Booked at the last minute and she had us sorted in no time. Arrived late at night and auto check-in was seamless. It was a work trip so we weren't there much, but the house was very tidy and well presented and had everything we needed. Highly recommend.

We stayed for 4 nights, whilst visiting the Gold Coast. Perfect location for visiting all the local attractions. It’s very quiet & peaceful. The apartment has everything you need and Karen provided some breakfast items, which was very much appreciated. Also lots of good local recommendations, which was very helpful for us.

Great place overall, but the best part was waking up to a stunning view of the river. The view makes this place absolutely perfect! It is also a huge apartment with access to spa and sauna which we loved. Close to the beach and to the Paradise shopping centre. The host was awesome, even providing local recommendations.

My family and I had a great holiday at Joanne's air bnb, we have a toddler & baby who loved it too. Beautiful view! Only feedback would be to maybe relocate the coffee table being glass for when guests with kids stay as would hate for it to break or an accident to happen, we moved it to the side to allow more room for my toddler to play in the open area! We will be back! Love it x

Celebrated my sister's Hens weekend on the Gold Coast over the weekend and stayed at Lisa's beautiful airBnB. There were 5 of us ladies and the unit was perfect for all of us with plenty of space and room to move about. Super clean, everything is exactly as it shows/says. Cafes & restaurants within walking distance and the tram stop 5min walk down the road. Ideal location. Lisa was very responsive and helpful. Shout out to Carly for showing us girls around and making sure we were feeling settled! Highly recommend this unit! ♡♡

We’ve just had four nights at this property and WOW! The best views, left the car in the basement and walked everywhere. Had a great foot massage and Indian head and face massage just a two minute walk from the apartment. It’s winter so wonderful heating at night and sunny days to sit on the balcony and watch all the tandem skydiving people land onto the beach in front of us. We also got an amazing last minute price as well. I highly recommend this apartment and I’ll def be back and next time I’ll bring my Cavoodle. Don’t hesitate to book! 😊

The apartment was perfect – clean, comfortable, and within walking distance of the city. The complex had a nice swimming pool and spa, although the gym didn’t have much equipment. Communication was smooth and easy. I’d be happy to come back again

June was very kind. The house was beautiful and in an amazing location. Thank you June!!

Was an amazing stay. place is beautiful and felt so cozy. would love to go again!! thank you Barbara and Adam.

Had a lovely stay at this beautiful apartment. Wonderful views, great area, could walk to everything we needed. Apartment had everything we needed. Love Kirra Beach.

Better than the photos - which doesn’t always happen. Perfect for families and young children as they have everything there. The house also has everything you could think of on site so need to bring much. Great place to relax and enjoy family time :)

Rod’s place was fantastic. We chose it because we have children aged 1, 2 and 4. It’s walking distance to everything - the beach, the pirate playground, great footpaths for scootering, walking distance to shops and restaurants and the facility also has a pool that is wade-in which meant our young children could splash in the shallow area without us holding them. The apartment was kitted out with everything we needed - and more! We brought our own baby Bjorn travel cot but they have the exact same one in the apartment. There was even a small step for toddlers to reach the sink. We loved having access to a few puzzles and books - we brought our own with us not expecting the apartment to have anything but my 4yo completed Rod’s 100 piece puzzles multiple times! The underground secure carpark is great. We drive a Kia carnival and had no problems with the carpark at all. Rod and Kathy provided very clear instructions and information. It was also extremely clean!

Gina’s place was spotless and well presented on arrival. Some lovely home touches and beautiful comfortable furnishings. We loved the outlook to the pool. This is great if you have kids that can swim as you can let them be free in the pool while you can keep an eye on them from the balcony and enjoy some peace . We would recommend Gina’s place .

Really enjoyable stay at Maria's house, great host and very responsive to any questions. Very clean and modern accommodation. Very well equipped with all the comforts of home. Loved the roof top terrace for those afternoon bbqs. Highly recommend this place to stay in Broadbeach. Thanks again for making our family holiday perfect.

Cristina is a very caring host. We came before the cyclone Alfred and she made sure that we are safe during our stay. A very friendly neighbour also. We will definitely come back to her place and recommend it also to our families and friends. Thank you Cristina. You definitely deserve a 5 stars.

We had a lovely stay! Unit was clean and well appointed. Everything we needed! Pod coffee machine was a lovely touch. Nice quiet area and close to everything. Darinka was very responsive and communication was great. Our only issue was that someone had parked in our space one evening but Darinka helped us as much as she could. However, the after hours number to call for the resort itself were not helpful at all which was disappointing. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks Darinka!

This was our second booking with Jose & Liria and will continue to choose them (if available) for all of our future weekend family getaways!!! As per the first time we stayed, they were amazing and accommodating to my family and I. It's absolutely Home away from Home!! It's central to EVERYTHING and unless you want to catch a tram to Pac Fair etc, then everything else is within walking distance. Check in was smooth, check out was also good going. I highly recommend Jose & Lirias place!! It's family friendly and comfortable. if I could give more stars, I'd give 100/10 😁

What amazing value for cost - location and amenities. A kitchen stocked with supplies, washer and dryer, and easy access. It was exactly what we needed!
