"We really enjoyed our stay! It is a gorgeous location and property. The house is nice, clean and well appointed. It was easy to get organized, relax and enjoy ourselves. Doris was very accommodating. She was quick to reply and help us with anything we needed. She had lots of recommendations on things we could do in the area and the beach and paddle boards were alot of fun! We would definitely stay here again if we get the opportunity!" AirBnB, Tom (2 couples)

"Wow! What an amazing location and house - could not ask for better. Luxury and a beach all to yourself most evenings, what more could you ask for! Doris is a brilliant host, loads of great local knowledge and super helpful. You won’t find better!" AirBnB, Louisa (family of 4) 

​

"Highly recommend this home. The accommodation is gorgeous with lots of outdoor seating to enjoy the beautiful garden. We especially enjoyed each having a hammock of our own to lounge around in! Doris thought of pretty much everything in the house and the beach/picnic/hiking/water play supplies were amazing. The aesthetic of the home is modern, chic and Doris provides high quality sheets/towels/appliances/etc which I really appreciated. The little beach a minutes walk away is super cute and we saw seals and eagles each time we visited it. If you need anything, or have any questions about the area, Doris is super responsive, knowledgeable and was a joy to cross paths with! Lastly, and perhaps most notably, I was really impressed with Doris' generosity of spirit as it very much felt that, while equipping the accommodation, she consistently chose the nicer, high quality version of things like towels, coffee, etc. She didn't have to but she did!" AirBnB, Tara (family of 4)

"Went out to Doris’ beautiful home with my family for a week and couldn’t of asked for a better spot to unwind and relax. Between the paddle boarding, swimming, and many other activities my family and I had a great time. Doris is a great host and helped us with anything that popped up along the way. Would highly recommend." AirBnB, Mark (family of 5) 

 

"Everything was amazing at the house. Doris is an amazing host. The area is so quiet and relaxing. Loved going to the beach close by to watch the sunset. The deck is amazing, a great spot to quietly read a book and watch the hummingbirds from the amazing hammocks." AirBnB, Hazel (family of 5) 

​

"Thank you Doris for being such a wonderful hostess. We really appreciated you helping us plan our days and your advice on the best times for tides, winds, and waves. We had a super memorable vacation complete with sea lions, beach spas, paddle boarding, millions of starfish, sea urchins, crabs, big waves, and rain forest hikes with views. Just what we were looking for!" AirBnB, Marcy (family of 5) 

​

"Beautiful space and great host! Doris’ place was beautifully decorated, meticulously clean and in a great location in a quiet neighbourhood yet a close drive to restaurants, parks and other activities. Doris was a highly responsive host and so accommodating. We would highly recommend!" AirBnB, Julie (family of 5) 

 

"This was a gem of a find. The accommodations are even more beautiful in person - particularly the patio. Rental was well equipped and host was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!" AirBnB, Ashley (family of 5) 

​

"A beautiful, well decorated, spotlessly clean home base to explore the Sunshine Coast from. Also quiet, cozy, with a beautiful patio and gardens and near secluded beaches if you’d rather just bunker down at home. (We did a bit of both). The host is attentive and welcoming, and has an obvious love of the area that she’s keen to share if you need any recommendations. The area is a little drive out of the busier city centre, but rewards in peacefulness and inlet ocean access. The highlight of the trip was paddling a portion of the inlet coastline on the provided paddle boards and seeing seals and jellyfish. Would definitely recommend and/or stay here again." AirBnB, Amanda (family of 4) 

"This is an amazing spot and Doris is an amazing Host. Very lucky to have been able to spend time here. The Beach (supply) hut is out of this world!" AirBnB, David (family of 3) 

​

"Our host Doris was very friendly and accommodating for a larger party. A lot of thought and attention went into ensuring we had a nice stay. If you’re a beach lover you’re in luck as she had oodles of beach toys, paddle boards and accessories available to use. The beach is a short stroll down the street, private, has nice sun exposure and close to a swimming platform you can walk out to (great for kids!) The guest suite is lovely, recently renovated with a high level of attention throughout. The floor plan was a bit tight (main living space + kitchen) for our party but bedrooms and bathroom were generously sized. The suite is decorated to perfection and landscaping is impeccably maintained. It was our first visit and would not hesitate to book a return trip! Great host!" AirBnB, Mark (family of 7) 

​

"Doris is an amazing host, attentive yet pretty well invisible. The place is immaculate, decorated in classy beach chic, linens a dream to sleep in, double the living space with the outdoor deck complete with sunny Adirondack chairs, relaxing hammocks and comfy throws for cool mornings or when the sun sets. All set in a quiet garden like setting on the hill with plenty of hummingbirds to keep us delightfully entertained. Sigh…our only regret was having to leave." AirBnB, Ruth (family of 6)

​

“Doris is the most amazing host and full of helpful tips and information. The garden suite is absolutely amazing! We didn’t want to leave. It is beautifully decorated, perfectly equipped, spotlessly clean and the veranda is pure Heaven! The walk to the beach is very short. This was the perfect place for a family holiday. We loved being able to use the SUPs. And I have to mention how quiet it was - no traffic, just the sound of the birds, including loads of hummingbirds! Thank you Doris!! We can’t wait to come back.” AirBnB, Susan (family of 4) 

​

“Words can’t even begin to describe how lovely and relaxing this place is! Our host, Doris was truly amazing!
