About this house rental
Enjoy plenty of space at this family home away from home. This house has a private pontoon with deep water mooring for your own boat of any size. 10 people can be accommodated, and your furry friends are welcome. All linen and essentials are provided.
Escape the work life and take advantage of the natural environment: for outdoor entertainment, there are kayaks (with paddles and lifejackets), bikes, crab pots, a cosy fire pit, and for any rainy days there are board games and plenty books.
There is free WIFI at the property.
There is a Chrome Cast TV, which can stream Netflix or Apple, as well as show terrestrial channels.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you can think of including a coffee machine, toastie maker, full oven, electric fry pan and airfryer. There is also a 8-burner BBQ on the deck overlooking the water.
There are 4 bedrooms: one bedroom is downstairs and contains 2 single beds.
There are shops on Russell, a good Supa IGA, butcher, baker and bottle shop as well as a few cafes. The bowls club does nice food and has a courtesy bus.
There is a reliable taxi service - 0408 - 78-55-55.
Access to the island is either by own watercraft, vehicle ferry (1hr from Redland Bay) (see Sealink website > SEQ) or passenger ferry (20-30 mins from Redland Bay).
If you want to use it as a base to explore further afield in SEQ, once back on the mainland, it is only 40 mins drive to Theme Parks on the Gold Coast.
Caution: we advise you not to sit directly under the coconut tree, as the coconuts can fall down!
Please ask if you need early check in or late check out: we can sometimes accommodate this.

Loved our stay at this property. This year was our second here and the host was excellent. Communication was great and the property was clean and comfortable. We had a minor issue with the water settings but it didn't detract from our stay.
I do want to mention the changes to the app since last year tho to prevent others being caught out like we were. We have been unexpectedly charged in US$.
I had set the app to Australia, so expected the listed prices to be in AUD as they were last year. Raising it with the VRBO support team has been unhelpful.

We had a wonderful stay, grandkids, kids and grandparents with two doggos. Our weather was beautiful but even if it had rained there would have been a ton of space for us to spread out..A few things around the house are a bit worn out but there was lots of bedding and everything you need is there. A great spot for a group to hang out and feel super comfortable!

The property was exactly as described. The host was great to communicate with and very pleasant. The house had everything you needed for a comfortable stay and was big enough for 4 adults. Lovely outlook with the pontoon at the rear of the property. Pity we had a rainy weekend. Would consider returning.

Little piece of paradise
Firstly Andrea was very easy to deal with, she was always helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had. The view was absolutely amazing and what an added bonus having your own jetty. The house is beautiful and very spacious with all the amenities you need. 2 days definitely wasn’t long enough, we will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone wanting a nice little getaway.
