Near beaches for humans and out dogs - lovely shops and generally a good spot. The house has everything you need and was very clean and allowed without much fuss dogs. We got a warning the day before that AusGrid would be doing work and there would a power outage so we appreciate the honesty and communication. ##### Lindsay B. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caitlin K. 24 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location We stayed at this property for the annual Toowoon Bay ocean swim and it was a great spot due to the location being walking distance to the beach. Self contained so it was easy to make meals with even some provision of basic long life goods (tinned foods/spices) which we didn’t use but great to be on offer. The house is small but just what is required, 2 bedrooms, a small kitchen, bathroom with laundry facilities, dining and lounge with an outdoor seating area. It was very clean and modern, felt great to return after spending hours on the sand at the beach. Contact with the host was easy after receiving the initial message a day prior to checkin. Would recommend. ##### Caitlin K.
