Beachfront vacation rentals in Brisbane Water

We stayed over a weekend with our two children and some friends. It was torrentially raining for the first 24 hours which was bad luck and made the journey a bit trickier with cancelled ferries but we made it and the sun came out for us and we had a lovely weekend in the incredible surroundings of Mackerel Beach. It’s such a peaceful and magical spot. Relatively close to Sydney but it feels like you’re so far away when you wake up there. Claudia and Richard gave us detailed and clear instructions which made the logistics so much easier. The kids loved the cricket kit and beach equipment. We all appreciated the kitchen set up as we all like to cook. Eating out on the deck was really special. Will definitely be back to Mackerel beach.

Charming stay! Clean, cosy and peaceful. Thoughtful host, smooth check-in and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend for a comfortable getaway.

2nd year here for her annual girls weekend absolutely perfect great location beautiful host and everything as described. Great price for a relaxing time.

Liz and Larry’s place was excellent and better than we expected - the photos don’t do it justice. The location is fantastic and Liz and Larry went the extra mile to make sure our stay was great. The kids loved the canoeing, boating, fishing and access to water right on the doorstep, Thank you !

My partner and I, and our 3 kids (between 5 and 8) had a great time! The house has a hot-water outdoor shower to get properly clean after a day at the beach. You can watch the beautiful sunrise across the ocean from the large living room windows. The kitchen has PLENTY of cooking utensils and crockery. TV has all the apps. The ping pong table downstairs was also worth it. It's useful to know that three of the 4 bedrooms are downstairs, and one queen bedroom is upstairs where the rest of the action is. The front balcony is nice and spacious, and the deck out to the back is HUGE! The location is extremely quiet, you can hear the waves on the beach. It takes about 3-5 minutes walk to get to the beach, it's very, very close.

Gorgeous location and one of the best stocked Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed in, in terms of crockery, cutlery, coffee machine, salad bowls, bread boards plus surplus stock for bathrooms, kitchen needs etc. We had a really great stay in every way.

Thank you so much for the beautiful stay. An amazing view of the lake, lots of space for families, clean and felt like home. Would definitely recommend and we will be back!

So relaxing! Close to the beach, the restaurants, the shops. Quiet, comfortable bed, great balcony space. Ralph was a bonus to welcome us! Carly and Jerry were great communicators and the flexible Sunday check out was much appreciated.

Our party of 5 including grandparents and 2 yr old son had a lovely stay at Michelle's. we stayed for 4 nights and spent the mornings at the beach which is just around the corner and lazy afternoons in the pool. The garden and house are well maintained and very cosy for a family trip away. I'd recommend stocking up on food as there are currently no shops/cafes at Pearl beach, but it was handy having a coffee cart turn up next door in the mornings. Even though there is construction building next door, my 2 year old son loved watching the machines and was disappointed when they weren't working on the weekend！Thanks again for sharing your home with us Michelle, we will be back！

This was a really great place to stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to book there again. It was spotlessly clean, well appointed and centrally located….highly recommend!

Really enjoyed my stay It was as described and very family friendly. Nice quiet location. Kids loved the pool. Will be back for sure.

Very homely, perfect location for walking down to Bateau Beach or along the coast track. Kids loved the pool which is a lot bigger than it appears in the photo. Gwendoline was very hospitable.

Adrian’s place was so homely and comfortable. The beds were so soft and we didn’t want to leave that lounge! We had just the right amount of space for 4 adults and 2 kids. Adrian was very generous and thoughtful. Even leaving ice blocks in the freezer for the kids! The pool and games room was a hit with the kids. Great for the couple of rainy days we got during our stay. This was probably the most comfortable air b n b experience we’ve had. Everything ran smoothly thanks to a great host.

We can’t say enough to thank Debbie for her warm welcome, the apartment is very new and clean, the ocean view is spectacular. Neighbour is so nice, our kids have so much fun playing with the other kids in the pool. There’re so many different cuisines for us to try. It’s small but very clean and modern town. It’s a great trip for family with young kids. Thanks and regards.

Amazing home, nice and close to the beach. Clean, spacious and great for groups or families

This is a wonderful property and perfect for a couple’s get-away. The entry and access need a degree of sure-footedness. Amanda the host is marvellous and helpful and the property is very comfortable, has a stunning outlook and is beautifully appointed. Strongly recommended.

We had a fantastic stay at Neha's apartment. Everything was clean n tidy and Neha was a great host.

Excellent hosts and great location combined with fantastic weather made for a wonderful stay.

The location is brilliant with the water accessible at the bottom of the yard. James was extremely responsive with all communication and the house is perfect for large families or small groups. A great beach getaway for the weekend.

Wonderful place for a larger group. Fits everyone comfortably. Amazing location and private access to the beach & lagoon

My friends and I had a wonderful stay in an idyllic setting opposite the ocean. One of my friends had reduced mobility at this time but could still enjoy the 270 degree views of the sea from the apartment. A great place to relax and close walking distance to The Entrance shops and beaches. Luisa was very responsive and addressed all my questions, flexible with check in and check out which was simple.

I honestly can’t say enough about how phenomenal this experience was. I came off of a 20 hour flight and couldn’t wait to relax, cook dinner, and enjoy being on the water. It was the most beautiful sunset I had ever seen and one of the best night’s sleep of my life. From being picked up at the dock to the adventure of the return trip back to shore, I would recommend this incredible stay to anyone!

What a beautiful, peaceful place that had all the necessary amenities a 2 min walk from the spectacular pearl beach. It was perfect & Carla and Chloe were great hosts and were very generous to give us a late check out on Sunday. The spa is pretty special although a bit finicky if you don’t know how to use it - thankfully our hosts were very responsive in helping with this. My only note is to maybe make sure if you need more linen/towels than what they provide for the 4 doubles and one single bed (9 people). We booked the house for 11 (there is a room with fold out couches) but those 2 guests didn’t get towels or linen. Final thing is the property has close neighbours so there are a lot of rules to do with noise etc. This makes sense as I assume the hosts have been burned before and must protect their relationship with the local community but if you want somewhere you can feel free to sing your heart out around the fire pit until the wee hours go elsewhere. Thanks for everything!

Comfortable small home in a beautiful location overlooking the beach. We appreciated the quiet, natural surroundings, with just a few minutes walk to the beach. Kylie was a proactive and responsive host. It was a wonderful experience and we would have liked to stay longer.
