This was one of the best airbnb experiences I've ever had! The place was amazing and Debra was the perfect hostess. The Beach House was a wonderful getaway for our vacation in North Queensland. It is a bit of a drive from Cairns but we enjoyed the seclusion and would very highly recommend this listing to anyone seeking their own little piece of the tropics far from the noise and bustle of all the tourists. You just can't beat falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the waves outside your window. Debra was truly fantastic, going above and beyond to make sure we had all we needed. We would have stayed longer if we could have.

Debra was great! The cottage was picture perfect. For people who was a quite and relaxing vacation this is definitely the place to go. Her neighbors are lovely too. If we come back to Cairns this is where we would stay.

Deborah was the best! An absolute sweetheart. From the time we booked, she was very attentive of our needs. She knew our plans and even helped us plan for our time while there. We came into the apartment filled with fresh fruits and drinks in the fridge. We didn't have a chance to grab dinner and she was kind enough to make us something from her kitchen. We did opt for the fire pit on the beach on the property. It was a fantastic experience (it's a pricey option not included in the rental price but was enjoyable). Deborah was very helpful and attentive but was not invasive in the least. It's an amazing secluded property with direct access to the beachfront straight from the bedroom. It's out of the way from town and requires a rental car and a 35 minute drive from the airport but we found that the experience was worth it.

Debra is a great hostess, very approachable and helpful, nothing to much trouble. The little unit is down a number of steep stairs, so be aware if you have knee issues. The outlook over the beach is just gorgeous. Loved the fact the aircon was on when we arrived, was appreciated. It is 40 minutes from Cairns and activities, but suited us being out of the ratrace. Its very quiet and peaceful, and we enjoyed our week there. Thanks Debra!

We had a wonderful time at the beach house. We had a restful stay there and enjoyed that you could here the sound of the waves from the room.

This was my first Airbnb stay and the bar has been set high. The long and the short of my experience...Debra is awesome and her place is awesome. Part of me would love to keep this a secret, but Debra deserves to be celebrated for joining the Airbnb community. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation, look no further.

Instructions received for finding the place were excellent and much appreciated since I arrived after dark. Instructions for finding the key were a bit more challenging, but the response to a phone call was immediate and friendly. The description of the place was accurate, everything that should work, did, and the house was very comfortable and well appointed. It's in a wonderful setting backing onto the water with fabulous views along the coast from the water's edge. Perfect for settling down on the grass with a good book and enjoying the peace and solitude. Or heading off for a leisurely walk along the seashore to explore the area and choose the perfect spot for that perfect holiday photo. Provided there is no issue with needing to drive to Cairns (about 45 minutes) or Port Douglas (about twice that) for access to plenty of first class places to eat (try chilli mud crab at Barnacle Bill's in Cairns) and galleries to explore and shop, and of course, snorkelling or diving to explore the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, this is an excellent place to stay. It was a wonderful interlude in a beautiful place in one of Australia's most beautiful regions.

We had a very good time in Anettes' house. It is well equipped and has a tasteful design. We drove there from the airport late at night, found the place with no problem. We had long swims and sunbaking at the beach a few times a day for the first 5 days... until we found out in the Information centre in Cairns (by chance) that the water is actually full of crocodiles and there is no sane local would go in there:) It was a bit disappointing that no one told us in advance. I guess these kind of things must be announced as it's pure safety. Overall the weather was nice, lot's of sunshine and tranquility. Nice place to be if one is mindful of the crocodiles.

Pro's en cons's with this house. Amazing outdoor eating areas, fantastic views, fun fishing and crabbing. Lots of aussie animals such as kookaburras & lizards. Room for tennis and lovely walks, very secluded &  everything you could need in the house. Does need a lot of TLC & with no manual everything was a bit trial en error. Kids got stuck in the bedroom as the door handle fell off, towel rack fell off every day, no swimming area as private beach has croc warning and rock pool was dry. Tired bathroom that would struggle with more than 4. Biggest 2 problems- one was out of their control but being woken every morning at 7.30am by jackhammers or drilling from the rebuild next door was not a great vacation feeling. The 2nd was when the wind changed & the smell of the sewerage pit would blow into the kitchen or the dining area was not often but was not great.

Beautiful spot very relaxing

Really a great place to relax after the many daily activities at Cairns, Queensland. We enjoyed coming back each day to a private and relaxing atmosphere. Once you bring your groceries and settle in, "Our Oaisis" has everything you need for a relaxing stay. We were able to buy our groceries in Cairns and to enjoy all the daily activities with only a 30 minute drive to Cairns. We went to Green Island, Port Douglas, Cairns eateries, and snorkeling. Afterwards, we had a great place to sleep and relax. Thanks to Annette.

Fantastic hosts who were always willing to help with any questions no matter what. They were also very helpful and informative with regards to the local area. The property is perfectly situated in a beautiful location which is very peaceful but not too far away from Cairns city itself. The sunsets are truly magnificent and nights are great sitting on the veranda listening to the waves washing against the beach. Fishing from your doorstep is great with a cast array of species caught with a few fish eaten also. Mud crabs also freshly caught & eaten. All in all, a wonderful stay and would most definitely stay here again. Thoroughly recommended property & hosts

Das Haus hat eine wunderschöne Lage, ist gepflegt und super ausgestattet. Den Schlüssel haben wir gleich gefunden. Alles hat tadellos funktioniert und Annette war für uns immer erreichbar.

The house itself was absolutely lovely, although noted by a few previous guests that it could have benefited from some tlc/a few licks of paint here or there. Despite that it is a great house with a lovely garden, clean and spacious for a family. However, whilst we were there the BBQ caught fire as we were using it and after we had turned off the gas it remained on fire and we had to use the fire extinguisher and the hose to put it out. I mentioned this to Annette but did not receive a response, I hope it is cleaned and fixed before the next guests! Otherwise a lovely stay.
