Superior Studio Apartment | Ocean Views
Our stay at Michele’s place was lovely. Stunning view from the balcony, super clean and modern design, a perfect location a few minutes away from downtown Airlie Beach, and a pool too! A great value for the price. We met the owner of the hotel, who was lovely. The lack of WiFi was not ideal, but this is made clear before booking.

One Bedroom Unit with Marina Views & Seabreeze
Handy location. Lovely apartment thank you for your hospitality

The Boathouse Apartments
Love staying at Boathouse Apartments! Setting, location & views are stunning. Easy 5 minute flat walk into the main dining & shopping area of Airlie Beach (no hills!!!) Apartments have all amenities to make you feel at home. Would highly recommend :)

The Superior King Bedroom APT @ Shingley
We loved staying at Trace's apartment. It was very clean, modern and comfortable, especally the bed! It was everything we needed for our short stay. The atmosphere in the resort was very relaxed and friendly and the location was just far enough from town centre to be peaceful. Thanks for a beautiful stay.

Marina Views at The Boathouse
It was fantastic. Beautiful location. We hope to be back in the future

Whitsunday Beachfront Apartment on Coral Esplanade
Beautiful views, and great coffee at ‘Froggies’. Bus close by, but Ubers and taxis are not reliable (and no uber eats or food delivery). If you don’t have a car, I recommend you order Coles online delivery in advance (they do next day delivery). Easy to walk to Coles, just a little too far to walk back with lots of food or heavy items. Or there is a great butcher within a 5 minute walk. Accommodation was great, had everything we needed. And host communication was excellent. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be back!

Baybliss Escape # 2 - Adults Only
We had a wonderful stay here! Peaceful and private and the views are just delightful to wake up to every morning. Hosts were easy to communicate with. The main area is just a 50cent 10 min bus away. We loved it and would recommend!

Turquoise Shores Whitsundays
Lisa was an amazing host, communicated very well and even left a beautiful fruit basket and breakfast treats! Amazing view and great location!
Waterfront house rentals

Mazlin House, Airlie Beach Waterfront Holiday Home
Lovely house, excellent location, great for a large group. Could be a little bit cleaner, and the Wi-Fi wasn’t great but other than that it was perfect. We would stay again.

A Stones Throw
Leslie provided a lovely and cozy place to be. no doubts. for one person it's definitely fine and you can easily get an Uber to reach the place from Shute Harbor or Airlie Beach. Great place to excape from Airlie Beach. I will come again

Whitsunday Views Room B - Breakfast included!
Unforgettable stay!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our stay at Linda’s place was absolutely incredible. The view was breathtaking, we could see turtles swimming every single morning from the balcony. It truly felt like a dream. Linda is the kindest and most welcoming host. She made us feel completely at ease, like we were right at home. From the delicious homemade breakfasts to her constant attention and helpful recommendations, everything was perfect. She even upgraded us to the beautiful room downstairs with an ocean view, since it was available such a thoughtful gesture. We basically had the whole lower floor to ourselves. The house is huge, spotlessly clean, peaceful, and beautifully maintained everything felt brand new. The balcony was the perfect place to relax and take in the stunning view. Linda’s warmth, generosity and attention to detail made this one of the best stays we’ve ever had with Airbnb. 🩵 It was so amazing that we’ve already booked another stay in two weeks, can’t wait to be back.

La Petite Boheme-Pet friendly - boat parking
We had such a lovely stay – clean, cosy, and super well-equipped with everything we needed. The space felt peaceful and homely, and it was perfect for both the kids and the dog. We really appreciated the little touches, and the host was lovely to deal with! The only downside was the school traffic during drop-off and pick-up times, with cars parked across the front strip and down the side – something to be mindful of if you’re planning to head out around those times. Other than that, it was a fantastic stay, and we’d happily come back again!

'Sail Away' Airlie Beach house with Marina Views (
We loved our stay here with our pups 🐶 the house and hosts were very accommodating and responsive, and the view was lovely. Amenities were pristine and the beds were quite comfortable! Our only reservation was there’s no real grass area for the dogs to use the toilet. But our boys worked it out and went in the garden downstairs.

'Vue de Bleu' Luxury Whitsunday Retreat
The prettiest view I’ve ever had (and I’ve traveled a lot!!). Literally jaw dropping. Beautiful home. A bit far from town but if you don’t mind a quick 15 minute drive into town this place is perfect.

Cove 18 Luxury Whitsunday Waterfront Beach House
the cove is a small gated community with only a few houses, right on the water with the ferry terminal right in front. small plunge pool and very clean, plenty of space and a big deck to watch all the ferries coming and going! everything worked well and the team at Whitsunday vacations were great, friendly responsive and even managed to score a late check out as we had later flight. Overall a beautiful spot right on the water with hills in the background and well equipped amenities.

"High Tide" - Whitsundays Beachfront Accommodation
The view here is absolutely stunning—just like the photos, but even better in person! The house is super spacious with great amenities, and the cleanliness really stands out. Everyone in our group had a fantastic time! Plus, there’s an amazing café just down the road that locals swear by. I highly recommend this place for your next trip to Airlie Beach! You won’t regret it!
