The property requires some maintenance. Dishwasher, dryer & linen provided would have made this short stay more enjoyable ##### Bernadine K. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### heidi k. 23 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent location We enjoyed a family getaway. Location was perfect walking distance to the beach. Big backyard for our dog but not fully fenced. Liked having 3 bedrooms with queen sized beds. The upstairs bedrooms were hard to cool down on a hot day. Fans helped but no aircon in upstairs rooms. An exhaust fan for the bathroom would have been good. ##### heidi k.

Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Tania D. 12 Jan 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### stunning location A true shack. Comfortable and stunning location, with short easy walk to beautiful beach. Cupboards in the kitchen could do with screws tightened and queen bed downstairs has an awfully stained mattress, which should be replaced. Otherwise fabulous and we will return. ##### Tania D. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trevor H. 12 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A fantastic location that allows pets. Not the most modern property but it is very comfortable. Perfectly located with only a lightly trafficked road between you and the water. The property has some unique features which are obviously the result of renovation such as the plethora of doors by the WC and the main light switch for the bathroom being three rooms away in the laundry. However the property had comfortable beds and all of the facilities for an enjoyable holiday. I would recommend this property as long as you are not looking for ultra modern. We intend to hire the property in the future for another holiday. An added bonus is the ability to take your pets on holiday with you. ##### Trevor H.

Rustic enough not to have to stress too much about bringing a bit of sand inside! Loved having my dog there but it would have been better to have a bit of fencing. Would recommend. ##### Dave B.

We loved looking at the beach from the comfy lounge chairs and balcony. The house really does have everything you need but the evaporate AC struggled on the 46 degree day. ##### Sonia This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Jann 4 Nov 2018 #### Great location The house is in a fantastic location and has big windows so that you can sit inside enjoying the view if it's a bit chilly. The chairs are very comfortable as are the beds. It's an older property and a bit dated but comfortable. We couldn't get the tv to work which wasn't a big problem in such a lovely location ##### Jann This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dale 16 Jul 2018 #### 34 Gold Coast Drive was perfect! 34 Gold Coast Drive was perfect! The views were lovely. We saw dolphins frolicking in the water and some beautiful sunsets. The accommodation was comfortable with everything we needed. We felt very much at home. We will definitely be back! ##### Dale ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Leonardo Hotel Aberdeen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberdeen-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Aberdeen.h2870346.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [Aloe Hotel - Adults Only (32772108)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels-Aloe-Hotel-Adults-Only.h32772108.Hotel-Information) > > [ORIDA Hotels Newbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newbury-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Newbury-North.h520436.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) ### Packages ---
