Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Southport

Tony was a brilliant host, gave so much useful information and was very responsive with any queries we had. The house is absolutely fantastic, the view is absolutely stunning and beautiful to wake up to. Would visit again!

We had an incredible stay at Waterfall Drive, Wongawallan. The property is an absolute haven — tucked away in the scenic Gold Coast hinterland, yet still close enough to shops and coastal attractions. The home itself is spacious, beautifully maintained, and designed to make the most of the surrounding natural beauty. Waking up each morning to the sounds of nature and expansive views of the rolling hills was a true highlight. The outdoor areas are stunning, perfect for relaxing with a coffee or wine, and the peaceful atmosphere makes it feel like your own private retreat. Inside, the layout is both functional and luxurious — ideal for families or couples looking for space, comfort, and privacy. The kitchen was well-equiped.

Amazing place, so close to the Gold Coast but not feeling like the coast, the outlook is so relaxing, the fire pit and wine, so good!

Alex was great, very responsive and a wonderful host. The house is beautiful & peaceful. The house has all you need and feels like you are at home.

Karen was a lovely host and very responsive with anything we needed. Would recommend

A great little place and a short stroll from the water. The house was exactly as described. We had a great time. Fiona is a lovely host and good communicator. Thankyou

Fantastic place to kick back with our family. Loved all the features of the property and the location. Great view to relax. Hope to be back in the future. Fantastic hosts Ryan and Elle.

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! We travelled up from Canberra to spend some quality time with family, and this place was absolutely perfect for it. The house is spacious, clean, and so well set up for groups—it felt like a home away from home the moment we walked in. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax without feeling on top of each other, and the layout made it easy to enjoy shared meals, game nights, and quiet mornings with a coffee. The attention to detail in the home really shows—everything was thoughtful, comfortable, and easy to use. The location was also great—peaceful, yet close enough to everything we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to reconnect and make memories. Highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a warm, family-friendly getaway. We’d definitely book again!

We had a lovely girls weekend away at Tracey’s beautiful hi rise apartment in the heart of Surfers Paradise. It’s close enough to all of the wonderful things the Gold Coast has on offer but quiet enough to relax and unwind. Everything was as described and the hotel has lovely ammenities. Tracey was very responsive, accommodating and friendly. Would highly recommend and would stay again.

I had a great stay at this place during my trip to the Gold Coast. Everything was more than just good – the cleanliness, comfort, and overall setup exceeded my expectations. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and hassle-free, and the place looked exactly like the photos. The host was responsive and helpful throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. Great experience overall!

The accommodation was just as described and in immaculate condition. Louise was helpful all the way through and went above and beyond for us.

I had a great stay! The accommodation was very good – location, comfortable, and just as described in the pictures. The host was very friendly and helpful. Would come back again.

The apartment gets ample sunlight, we went in june so it was nice to get sun in the morning Tram stop is about 5 mins walk and so is easy to travel by public transport even late at night. The apartment was well kept and clean. We had asked for an extra mattress for the kid, which was provided with sheets

Really enjoyed our stay and David took on board some feedback. Would definitely come back again.

Loved our stay. Amazing views. Will definitely be back!

Christopher's place was great. Such a handy location to everything. It was clean, comfortable but most importantly for us it was super dog friendly. There was a lovely private grassed area out the front with a kennel and shade. We could go out knowing she was very safe in the yard. Christopher lives next door, but certainly does not encroach on your privacy...unless you want to have a chat, hes super friendly and very obliging. We would've stayed longer had we been more organised. I'd definitely stay again if the need ever arose 🙂

Beautiful unit. Photos don’t do it justice. The view is absolutely spectacular and all the finishes were incredible! The bed was very firm (ok for husband not for me) and very squeaky when rolling over during the night. The balcony and the way it opens up provides a beautiful breeze and the fans are wonderful on those warm nights. Jason was wonderful to deal with and very quick to respond. Wish we didn’t have to leave but will return. We met friends for dinner and drinks and they loved it also and will also come stay here next time!

We really loved the location of Sammi's place, super close to shops, beach front and restaurants/cafes. Plenty to do, but also a great spot to relax and watch the waves roll in. Everything was accounted for and we felt right at home as soon as we stepped through the doors. Definitely recommend this gem and will return!

We had a really good 4 night stay. Great location, walking distance to everything. Check in was easy, clear pictures on where to find the keys. Good accom if you have little ones as in the cupboard there were a bucket and shovel, scooters and boogie boards provided. The only downside was there was a smell that lingered around the whole time and no hot water the morning we were checking out so could not shower.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Great location!

What a lovely place to stay! Views, a balcony, lovely interior and the amenities did not disappoint. Thanks Di and Nick for a wonderful stay - we absolutely loved it!

We really enjoyed our stay—the view was stunning, the place was comfortable, and the location was perfect. The hosts were responsive and helpful, especially during check-in. One issue we encountered was that the TV browser had visible pornographic search history, which was inappropriate and made us uncomfortable. It would be great if the TV could be reset between guests. Overall, a great stay—9/10!

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!

John and Megan - welcomed me and were so wonderful. They are really flexible and will adapt to ensure all your needs met. The place is perfect if you just need a couple of nights for an event or work or a little getaway on your own. They left chocolates in the fridge and had the best quality teabags! New mattress, an umbrella, lots of towels, Foxtel, easy access to street for food and restaurants. Quick walk to beach. In case you are like to prepare for your environment, here are some tips: - take eye mask as blind doens't reach sides of window frame- although some poeple would like the light -if staying Friday night- and need a sleep in- pop some earplugs in before dawn as the Sat morning industrial bin truck was quite a big event. LOL!
