Your Coral Coast Resort Inn
We really enjoyed our short stay at Ekaterina's place! The accommodation was fully furnished with everything we needed and was decorated nicely! The 2 bedroom layout was very nice allowing 3 people to get up at time of their choosing and not disturb the other 2. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this host!

Palm Springs Bungalow
This is a great place to stay. We enjoyed our walks down at the beach. There are also numerous places to eat there and the majority are dog friendly which was good for us. The house is well appointed with a large yard. A family could easily stay here. Overall the house is great and the area is superb

Clifton Beach House, Pool, BBQ short walk to beach
Love the lay back feel of Clifton Beach and the house felt homely and was full of character. Beds were comfortable and it had everything you needed. Would book it again

Trinity Beach Oasis
The Oasis was just that for us. We were in Cairns for Crankworx, it was perfectly positioned for access to the motorway and private so no one outside could see the bikes etc. The restaurants a short walk away on the beach front were great, would highly reccommend L'unico. Thanks Kate, see you next year if Angus doesn't break himself in Europe 😊

Seaside Serenity: Modern Cottage with Spa
We had a great time here at Char’s place! The place is conveniently located close to local attractions with a short taxi ride and was clean. Well equipped as well and hosts were proactive in delivering a great experience! Highly recommend :)

Private Pool - Beach Townhouse
The house was peaceful and beautiful, perfect for a relaxing stay. The host was always kind and available whenever we needed anything. Highly recommended

Cairns Kewarra Beachfront Home
In the 8 years I have been using Airbnb this was by far my best experience ever. The house was even more beautiful than the pictures online. Lisa was an amazing host. Always willing to help and super flexible. We are so grateful for our stay here. The house was so clean and cosy. The kitchen had all the necessary tools. The house was spacious and luminous. The pool is amazing to relax and offers enough space in the shade to read a book. We also loved the fact that the house was so close to the beach. Ideal to run in the morning or do a nice walk along the coast. The perfect house if you want a nice getaway with your family or a group of friends. Would 100% recommend and if we ever come back we will surely stay here. Once again, thank you Lisa from the whole family. ❤️

Beach House on Cinderella - absolute beachfront
We were very happy with the location and privacy of the house. It was very well equipped with everything we needed. Great view and loved going to sleep with the sound of the ocean and the birds. Close to the airport and Cairns. Thank you for the opportunity to stay at your place . I would definitely recommend your beach house to my friends and family.

Beachside Apartment With Pool And Garden View!
Beautiful apartment in a lovely quiet area right near the beach. lovely and clean and we had everything we needed.

Triton's Retreat Palm Cove
Great location, beautiful space, super responsive host. Will be back!

Trinity Beach Tropical Hideaway
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

Treetop 1 Bed, Reef Retreat Apartments Palm Cove
This place was so great that we extended our stay. Close to the beach and calm, has all the amenities one need! Fabian was super helpful and flexible with the check in time. Would book it again.

Beachfront Villa with Direct Pool Access 1 Bedroom
Our second stay in this great apartment, in a great location. Cant wait to visit again. Would recommend to anyone wanting to visit the Cairns district.

Villa O’Shea
A beautiful location with the sea just outside! Sunrises are superb. Shame you can’t swim in the sea due to the crocs.

Reef Retreat Palm Cove Studio Apartment
great location, a few minutes walk to the beach and local restaurants. Lovely clean room with anything you will need for a little getaway. Thank you for an accommodating stay.

The Beach House
We were lucky to stay at this beautiful beach house on very short notice after other accommodation fell through. Nicola was quick to respond and helped us get into the house within 30 minutes of contact. when we arrived the place was pristine with a lovely homey feel and decor that suited it's tropical beachfront location. Kitchen was extremely well stocked with thoughtful touches like included oils, sauces and washing up material. nothing worse than a stingy host! The back deck was lovely to sit on with views of their very secluded beachfront, it felt like our own personal beach! plenty of room for the 5 of us with a great pool to chill out in. Thanks for having us!

Sea View Trinity Beach Dome
Beautiful spot and wonderful host!

TIDE NINE YOUR ABSOLUTE BEACHFRONT APARTMENT
A home away from home. An amazing place to stay. Judi and David made us feel truly at home and nothing was too much to ask. By the end of your stay they are friends rather than air bnb hosts. Everything you could ever need was in there. We would definitely visit here again.

One Bedroom Oceanview Apartment Clifton Beach
Fabulous few days in a desirable location by the sea. Host was helpful, friendly and responsive. Would definitely visit again.

Palm Cove Oceanfront Resort Two-Bedroom Apartment
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
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!

Beach Escape - Spacious 2 Bedroom
Beautiful setting, quiet and magnificent views to the water. Home away from home and highly recommended. The swimming pool is a huge bonus and well as across the road to swim at the beach. Really enjoyed our stay.

Stunning 2-3 Bed Penthouse Gorgeous Ocean Views
Wonderful apartment perfect location for the beach. Loved the pool really convenient. Easy to get into Cairns on the bus or taxi, but really loved the esplanade & relaxed atmosphere very chilled. All the photos match the reality with everything you could want or need. Lovely touches with beach towels & chairs. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your apartment we had a great time!

1 Bedroom Superior Seaview Apartment
Our beach view apartment was clean and comfortable. We felt right at home. Bradley was responsive with answers for things to do and where to get the items we wanted for our stay. We found Ellis Beach where there is a very good local restaurant across the street. We went into Cairns for the Rusty Food Market, open Friday- Sunday and also found Preston Fresh Seafood where we purchased amazing seafood for almost every meal. Trinity Beach is only 20 minutes or so from the airport and less than an hour from Port Douglas for our snorkeling adventures. Daintree is just a bit further away. Trinity is quieter than some of the other places to stay. We spent a very relaxing 9 days there and if we ever venture back to the Great Barrier Reef, we'd be back. Definitely a perfect spot for us and recommend it highly!
