Great place for a group of friends Nice house

Lovely 5 bedroom home each with separate ensuites, swimming pool, large dining area with table for 10, comfortable living room, beautiful gardens Located in a very quite street not far from the beach, a short 5 minute drive to Port Douglas shopping centre or the IGA supermarket just off the Captain Cook Highway. Great spot for a large family or group of friends and we highly recommend it The host/property manager John Rushton replies to any concerns or questions promptly and is a pleasure to deal with A very enjoyable stay

An ideal property for grandparents, parents and young children. We had a great week and loved everything about the the house, pool and gardens. A nice hideaway up the back for grandparents. We'd definitely come back.

Can’t speak highly enough about Beachdaze! Everything is exactly as appears in the photos - my friends and I loved every minute. The gardens are wonderful providing several different spots if you want time out, the pool was fabulous (perfect temperature), all the bedrooms and bathrooms are great sizes and we just loved the indoor/outdoor living. John is quite right when he says that it’s better to open all the louvres, turn on the ceiling fans and open the windows/doors from the kitchen, dining and lounge rooms onto the outside terrace - we hardly needed the air conditioning. John was immediately responsive to any of our requests and we made full use of all the spaces and BBQ. We used Excellence shuttle service to take us into town - what an amazing service. Just call them and they pick you up from/drop off to the house. Maximum time we waited for the shuttle was 8 minutes. We can’t wait to go back. Thank you John!

House was beautiful and as advertised, would not hesitate to recommend

Property true to photos and description. Had a wonderful time and would highly recommend. Would love to go back and do it all again.

Very well presented and maintained home in an excellent location. Well suited for our family of eight adults with an infant and baby. John made available everything we required and pointed us in the direction of how/where to borrow additional required baby pram etc

We just returned from our holiday, 7 of us plus our grandchildren (toddlers) celebrating my 60th birthday and we loved the house. The layout of the house surrounding the pool is great and very relaxing. Having the 5 bedroom each with its own bathroom, plus the half bathroom we shared was great. My husband and I loved the visitors outside bedroom, was very relaxing and private. We never had any issues in contacting John, the owner, and when we needed he always replied straight away. The swimming pool is amazing, the water temperature was perfect, we had a lot of fun with the kids. The beds are comfortable and the linen nice and clean. Beachdaze is very close to the beach, restaurants and to town. We had a few outings, but I could easily stay in the house the whole week. As John requested to know, the only issues was the door handles in the half bathroom and the bathroom with the single beds, needed to be repaired. After a few of us, including the children got locked in, we realized instead of pulling the handles down as usual we had to pull them up. And the gutter in the internal corner over the pool gate overflows when rains heavy, splashing water over the deck which becomes very slippery. Just suggesting it would be nice to have a choice of pillows as a few of us found the pillows in the house were too high. As I said we had a wonderful week, and I would highly recommend this property. Thanks John for having us.

We loved the layout of the house. Restaurants are within walking distance as well as the beach. We felt safe in the neighborhood. Highly recommended.

The layout of the house surrounding the pool made for a perfect setting for fun, entertaining and relaxing. A short stroll to Four Mile Beach, The Beach Shack and playgrounds made the whole holiday very easy and casual.

We were very happy at what we saw when we first arrived. It was clean and a well maintained tropical house with generous sized rooms. There were some issues though. The swimming pool is not heated and this was not stated. The kids wouldn't go in which was a real disappointment. There is no smaller pool for children as stated on the website. There was what used to be a spa attached to the pool, so I'm not sure how they can classify that as a children's pool!Communications with the property manager was non-existent. He does not leave a mobile number so when we arrived and didn't have a high chair, I emailed him and 24 hours later he replied. Its in the garage he said (dusty and dirty!). I know he doesn't want to interfere with guests staying there but a text/call on arrival or after 24 hours to ask us if everything was ok would have been appropriate. There was nothing! There was cable TV but you have to subscribe to it to get it. One of the bedrooms ran out of hot water in the mornings and the kitchen pantry should have been better stocked with essentials (like oil and salt). Couldn't even have a proper coffee because the frother didn't work. These issues could have been sorted out if he left a number to contact him on.Would I stay at beachdaze again? No, I would rather stay in a resort. At least there the pool is heated for the kids and staff will cater to all of your needs.

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Beachdaze. With a large group of 8adults and 4toddlers, this house had everything we could have wanted and more. We all had more than enough space, privacy and room to breathe! John was so accomodating to our needs and we had an amazing holiday all reunited together as a family. For a family holiday with all the comforts of home, we highly recommend! Thank you again John. Robyn and Claire.

We have come back From a fantastic stay at BeachDaze, we had a group of couples and friends so it was a bonus to all have our own bathroom and very clean well fitted out bedrooms. Short drive/walk from town and the beach which was fantastic. Kitchen and living all great sizes and gave us all more than enough room. Can't wait to stay again!

We just spent the best week in Port Douglas. Beachdaze catered for my family of 6 adults and 1 toddler. Every bedroom has a bathroom. Enough space to share or have some alone time. The way that the concertina doors gave an indoor/outdoor living experience was awesome. Close enough to town for a short drive for supplies. Short walk to 4 mile beach. What more could you ask for.

John (owner of Beachdaze) was so easy to deal with right from my first enquiry 6 months before our trip. The house was absolutely ideal and the kids had a ball. The layout is perfect for watching everyone in the pool. The house was extremely clean, so close to the beach we went there every day. Great lounge that fit all of us, big dining table, awesome modern kitchen, fans, a/c, privacy etc etc.

We were 2 families from Melbourne 6 adults, 2 teenage girls and a 2 yr old. The house was clean, we had everything we needed. Our own clothes and food was all we had to have. The owners had thought of all needs incl beach towels. Beach so close was great. House extremely spacious and each bedroom having its own bathroom was great. Would stay again and recommend to anyone.

We came to Port Douglas to get married and wanted somewhere a little more private and family orientated to stay so we could all enjoy this happy occasion together. It was very comfortable, clean and relaxing and we had a fantastic time. It suited our needs and then some and made our special day even more special. We hope to return each year to Port Douglas and wouldn't hesitate to return to "Beachdaze" if its available. Thank you

We were 5 ladies celebrating a 50th and found this property on Stayz. The reviews below are all consistent with our experience. Fabulous that each bedroom had its own ensuite. Close to beach which we used each morning for walks. Close to Port for the local attractions and great location for tour guides to collect us from our front door. Highly recommend Beach Daze for large groups who need their own space as that also works well. John was easy to book with an always 100% responsive to any emails Thanks John for having us in your amazing house.

We had a fantastic stay, the house had everything we needed and more. The bedrooms were all large with very comfortable beds. The outside area was great for a large group. We were in and out of the pool the whole week. Port Duglas was fantastic what a lot of fun.

The showers were a bit old and kept falling of the rack. Everything else was excellent. We had one issue with the aircond and was resolve in less than 10 mins. We stayed for 10 days and were very happy.

IF ANYONE IS LOOKING FOR A GREAT RENTAL THIS IS IT, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.PLENTY OF ROOM FOR EVERYONE, WE HAD 9 ADULTS AND 1 BABY, AND WE STILL HAD OUR OWN SPACE.POOL IS GREAT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WALK 100MTS TO BEACH. EVERYTHING IS THERE. GREAT KITCHEN, VERY CLEAN AND WELL MAINTAINED.THANKYOU JOHN FOR THE USE OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL HOUSE.

We stayed at this property in July and it is just gorgeous. We had 4 couples, 3 kids and one infant and it was perfect for such a big group. Really close to the beach 2 min walk and you are in the water. It has a relaxed feel and a huge amount of outdoor furniture so you can read a book in about 6 different locations. The appliances are very good quality although we did have trouble with the oven but that was quickly fixed as the owner organised a serviceman straight away. The owner then popped around to check to make sure everything was just right and you couldn't meet a nicer bloke. The best bit about the house is how all the doors and windows fold back and you just have a huge open plan feel to it. Also the owner has gone to the effort of actually providing the right furniture eg. 12 seater custom couch in the lounge. I would highly recommend this property, value for $$ for a big group and 5 bathrooms, no need to share, great design.

We highly recommend this property to stay at. The house is very large and clean and is in a fantastic location near the beach. Every bedroom has its own bathroom which is a bonus when travelling with more than 1 family! It is exactly as the pictures show! Thanks to John for allowing us to use his beautiful home, the ease of the process to book it and the recommendations of activities. We would stay here again and will be recommending this house to our family and friends.

Fabulous accommodation for a large group. The property presents exactly as listed and accommodates a large group very comfortably. We had 8 adults and 5 infants between 3 1/2 years and 4 months. Had a great carefree time and the kids were very happily occupied swimming with parents in the pool or playing on the back lawn. They also liked to feed the fish in the front pond under supervision as well. Would certainly go again.

I would highly recommend this wonderful property to anyone seeking a relaxing, hassle free holiday.My extended family and I enjoyed a terrific 10 days here and the property is just gorgeous. Everyone having their own bedroom and bathroom with gorgeous courtyards.Young children well catered for with cots and high chairs available. We had a wonderful stay and nothing was too much for the owner. Thanks again John for the loan of your beautiful home, we hope to be back to visit again in the not too distant future. 5 stars !

firsty this property is a credit to the owners. Quiet location, 3 minealk to beach and shuttle buses into town. very well equipped, comfortable and extreamly clean. most of all very reasonably priced, we would not hesitate to use this property again in the future.once again thanks, cheryl and glenn adams
