Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Mermaid Beach

We had the most luxurious long weekend, as soon as we stepped in the door it was like the external world just melted away. Everyone slept amazingly, the kitchen was well equipped with everything you need and the ocean view was just incredible.

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.

A lovely home in a stunning location! It’s is walkable to all of what Palm Beach has to offer but you honestly never need to leave - and because of the views you will never want to leave! The perfect place to spend the weekend.

Very nice and relaxing space for small families, especially for us after a long flight. Nataliya was very nice and helpful with quick responses and tips around the area.

We found this place very well presented, with everything you could want to make your stay comfortable from laundry to kitchen and relaxing in the lounge or on the front porch.

We had a great two night stay here. Great location, big secure backyard for the dogs and the beach and local bars and restaurants on your doorstep.

Jennifer is a great host. Always responsive and very accommodating. Graciously gave us a late check out. The house is in a great location and only a stones throw to the beach. Great cafes right around the corner and Pacific Fair a short walk away.

We had a lovely stay at David's space in Mermaid Beach. The location was perfect, less than a 1min walk from the beach and a 10min walk to the heart of Broadbeach where there are restaurants and plenty of activities. The private pool was a lovely bonus that we unfortunately didn't get to enjoy due to some bad weather. We didn't have any issues during our stay, but communication with the host was easy and friendly. Would stay again!

Lovely, comfortable and clean stay. Very close to beach and local cafes/ restaurants.

Beautiful place, peaceful and cozy and the food at beach hotel next door is 10/10

Great apartment and view amazing. Walk to cafes and restaurants. Everything that you needed was supplied and Karin was quick to respond to any queries Apartment clean and beautifully furnished Would definitely come back again

I booked this apartment for family, and they had an excellent stay. The apartment was clean, well-appointed and matched the listing description and photos. The facilities - pool, gym and BBQ area were all top-notch and easily accessible. Communication with the host was exceptional; they were responsive and helpful throughout the booking and stay, ensuring everything went smoothly. Highly recommend this property for anyone visiting the Gold Coast.

Fabulous location with beautiful views over the beach. The unit is clean and well laid out, the extra little touches of fresh bread, croissants, milk etc were very thoughtful. The hosts were warm and super responsive to queries. Highly recommend this lovely property for a relaxing beach escape!

We’ve stayed here multiple times. It’s so gorgeous and has the most incredible outlook. Everything is included and lovely linen on beds, towels etc.

Our stay was the perfect getaway. Absolutely stunning beach & ocean views, beautiful and clean apartment, exceeding our expectations. Convenient location to accessing cafes, restaurants & grocery stores, which are within a short walking distance. We loved our scenic beach walks to other areas of the Gold Coast, making our experience even more enjoyable. Karine was very informative and kind, always ready and available to help. We hope to return on our next visit to Australia. Highly recommended!

A lovely clean, beautiful apartment with everything you needed The bed was comfy too. The hosts were great!!

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 lovely time, the space worked really well for us. And Thankyou to Aliyah for being so prompt when we had a question. I would thoroughly recommend this place to stay. 👍

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.

Di and Nick’s place was perfect. Beautiful views and spotlessly clean. So easy to get to and from the airport by bus. Easy walk to restaurants and cafes. Easy walk to the beach. Would definitely stay again.

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!

Aaron’s place was great. Beds were comfy, you’ll feel right at home. It has an amazing view of the city and the ocean. It’s close to the beach and shops. We had an awesome stay!

Great location wonderful home great value for money

This place was very close to everything including restaurants, beach and Pacific Fair is a short walk.
