Exactly as advertised

What an absolute gem of a property in the best location you could possibly get in Toogoom. Everything is exactly how it is described in the ad, the property is flawlessly clean and maintained and you have everything you could possibly need. I grew up going to Toogoom and I thought my grandparents house had the best beach access and location…but I was wrong: Mark & Karin’s is the best of the best. We’ll be dreaming of the effortless stroll down the beach until our next trip. Super grateful that it is pet friendly. Toogoom is such a wonderland for dogs and the off leash afternoons are super social for your pup if you want (or if you want the opposite you have kilometres of beach to yourself some days too). Compared to anywhere we’ve ever stayed this house is super generous with sharing their possessions: think kayaks/stand up paddle board/bikes & games. Also every streaming program you can think of too for those lazy nights. We had so much fun. I obviously can’t speak highly enough of this place - 5 star in every way. We will be back.

We had a lovely stay. The location was amazing and the property was beautiful and setup with everything we could want to keep the kids entertained.

Perfect location, backing onto the beach. Well appointed. Very clean. All of your family’s needs have been configured and taken care of. Great for any family…young or old. Will be returning again.

A very nice property with lots of little inclusions, and beautifully positioned close to the beach. Wonderful having use of kayaks and a paddle board - only tried the paddle board, but such fun. Described as having 2 bathrooms, which is a bit of a stretch- the 2nd ‘bathroom’ is only a cement based beach shower and toilet off downstairs laundry only accessible via external stairway. Yard area was quite unkempt and needed mowing. Owner needs to keep an eye on cleaners - floors were very dirty, and coffee milk heater had built up old milk needing a soaking clean; and door track filled with sand and grime. Clothes dryer required thorough cleaning of both filters. Needs more permanent power outlets as multitudes of power boards are not safe. Downstairs light switch placed high up on a wall very difficult to reach. These comments are for the benefit of the owner to make the property better for future renters. This property will be amazing once these little things are addressed.

Toogoom itself is a little hidden gem and then we have the villa. What can I say!! Everything you need for a perfect family holiday. You really don't need to bring anything but yourselves and food. We loved the beachy retro vibe of the villa too. You can do nothing but read, which I did, or be like the rest of my family and use all the recreational equipment supplied. The beach was so close just a quick stroll through the nature reserve. Our fur baby loved running on the beach at low tide and having a little growl at the kangaroos and bush turkeys every day. Mark was a great host and nothing was too much trouble. We will be back for sure. We loved our stay here

Nice and quiet beautiful house nice and close to the beach with lots of wildlife would do it again so peaceful and relaxing

Very clean, great location, perfect for a family. Everything imaginable is provided for recreational activities.

A place that has everything you’ll need for a relaxed stay. From super-comfy beds to a well equipped kitchen and fantastic location, this is a place that you will love from the moment you drive in. Walk straight out the back of the property through beachside bushland, and walk straight into the water of Toogoom estuary. Amenities? All you could ask for - kayaks, bikes, paddle board, table tennis, foosball, arcade games, darts… a truly comfortable beachside property that will host your little animal buddies - we’ll be back again for sure.

Great space to be in. We loved the wildlife at our fence line and the views to the beach, sunsets through the trees and the quiet. Always possible to find the perfect sitting spot, whether you want sun or shade. Hosts are very helpful and the house is well set up for everyday and recreational activities. The dog loved being there and the variety of walks for a larger dog was a bonus.

My family and I (including our dogs) had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property - it is very clean, well-kept, secure and extremely comfortable in a wonderfully quiet neighbourhood. The hosts provide so many avenues of entertainment you should never hear the words "I'm bored" come out of any mouth. The entertainment area, and all of the games and facilities provided under the house, is just the perfect place for families to spend some quality time having lots of fun together. It is wonderful to find a host that allows the family pets to come and enjoy the holiday as well. The yard is fully fenced and a great size for the pups to enjoy, with very easy access to the beach/creek at the back of the property. The house is situated literally 30 seconds walk from the beach, great for walking, fishing or paddling with the provided canoes/kayaks/paddle boards and a short walk to the boat ramp and restaurant overlooking Beelbi Creek. It is also situated a relatively short drive to the hustle and bustle of Hervey Bay, Urangan Pier and the other seaside areas surrounding them. The hosts are very receptive to enquiries, fast with their response and very friendly and welcoming. It is definitely a perfect family holiday property with plenty to keep everyone entertained and provides the opportunity to fully relax in complete comfort. Thank you so much to Mark and Karin for providing a fantastically wonderful property, allowing us to have such a great holiday.

Absolutely loved my stay, the property is as perfect for a large family or a small family. Our cavoodle loved the back yard and running along the beach. Everything we needed was there. Toogoom was a great town for us retirees

Hosts, Mark and Karin have put much thought into the needs of guests by providing everything needed plus more for a relaxing, comfortable stay with quality appliances and cookware in a beautifully decorated, very clean home. The kids were well entertained with the array of games available to them and even kayaks and bikes. The furry kids were also well catered for with the fenced yard and plenty of space for them to run. Lots of fun was had and the small things that were provided were much appreciated ie, mozzie spray, coils, kitchen essentials..thank you!! We shall come again, thank you for having us!
