About this property

Artists' Beach House, on the beach path

Just steps from the beach, this vibrant hideaway is filled with art, colour, and laid-back charm. Five bedrooms, ocean breezes, and that magical Far North Queensland light.
Stay inspired. Stay barefoot. Stay here.

Step into a world of colour, light and laid-back beauty. Just one minute from the sand and sea, the Artists’ Beach House is a breezy five-bedroom tropical hideaway in Port Douglas, Far North Queensland. It’s filled with sunshine, good vibes and artworks that will make your heart sing.

This is a place to truly relax. The house feels like a warm hug—spacious, soulful, and full of charm. Originally built in the 60s and lovingly restored, it celebrates the magic of old-school tropical living. There’s a big shady garden, a private pool, rainforest trees, and even a creek where the kids can fish. All this, just 100 steps from the beach.

Inside, there’s room for everyone—up to 14 guests. Two comfy living rooms, two bathrooms, five dreamy bedrooms, and plenty of spots to gather or sneak away for quiet time. The indoor and outdoor kitchen is fully equipped for long lunches, sunset dinners or simply slicing up a fresh mango. We have a dining table for 14 for memorable celebrations.

The house is sprinkled with original art by well-known Australian and international artists, making it a colourful and inspiring space. And yes, it’s family-friendly—with books, games, toys, and beach gear galore. Unlimited Wi-Fi, smart TVs, air con.

Artist’s house

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Port Douglas. It was great to have a pool in the back yard. It was large house that catered to our large family. It was great to have the privacy of trees and yet only have a 5 minute walk to the beach. It was lovely to have the beds already made up and to have both beach towels and bath towels. The lounge rooms were very spacious so we had plenty of room to move.

Wonderful

We had a wonderful time at this amazing property. We were an extended family of 12 from 1 to 70. The house catered our every need. The location is great. The owners are very accommodating and friendly. Would recommend this property for a FNQ stay.

Inspiring Accomodation

A curious collection of artworks, furniture and furnishings made this stay so memorable. Great location with easy stroll to the beach and lovely pool. House is set up so everyone has space; ideal for our large family. Owner’s Matt and Tina super obliging... Highly recommended.

Piece of paradise

What a wonderful place to stay on our first trip to Port Douglas. The house is beautiful and the laidback vibe is contagious. Well resourced and Tina was around to answer any questions we had. Great location too. If you don’t want a boring, personality-free resort - this is the place for you.

After 3 weeks of traveling, starting in sydney to end up in Port Douglas, your house felt as an oasi

After 3 weeks of traveling, starting in sydney to end up in Port Douglas, your house felt as an oasis of tranquility. It was even more beautiful and charming than the pictures. Our family of six, felt at home immediately, it was if we had lived here for longer.We love the books, art, desigh, THE VERANDAH, the light, the breeze, the pool and BBQ!Being close to the beach, Port Douglas and many interesting touristic points - this house is perfect. We've been in many places, but for sure, this house ranked number one immediately. Unfortunately it is quite a distance from Amsterdam, otherwise we would come over more often!So many many thanks and may be we come back again some time. Otherwise we will visit your apartment in Berlin.

our short stay in this house was easily one of the most memorable things during our holiday in port Douglas. The house is beautifully decorated and full of life with color and nature. The huge selection of books (with a lot of art!) was a great touch. The uniqueness of the rooms and furniture give the house such a welcoming feeling and has made our stay such a delight. Its a fabulous house and we all had a great time. Sometimes pre feeing the house to anywhere else. Highly recommend to anyone who are thinking of staying. 10/10

We came from melbourne to have a holiday in Queensland and your house was the best place to enjoy Port Douglas from. We all loved the colorful paintings all around us and the bedrooms were beautiful and the other rooms were too. We spent lots of time in the pool and beach, and collected many beautiful shells. The water at the beach was warm and we spent lot of time there. Every night the geckos would come out and catch their dinner. The beautiful butterflies were also very attractive. We've been to many places during our visit and I'll name a few : Cow Bay, Moon light cinema, Cape tribulation, Daintree rainforest, and many more. Thankyou for letting as stay at such a remarkable beach house!!!

We came to Port Douglas from Sydney to have a 30th birthday celebration for our entire group of friends. Now no one wants to leave.The house was perfectly stocked and fit us all perfectly. We barely left in five days.Most of the time was spent on the upstairs balcony, but we seemed to move naturally between all the different spaces. The book selection was good. and the colourful decor made it a great holiday place. We will definitely recommend this to our friends and family.

wow, what a privilege to pop the cherry on this gorgeous rental property. Everything we used was new

wow, what a privilege to pop the cherry on this gorgeous rental property. Everything we used was new! We had Geckos, owls and curlews to keep us company at night. Our visit was to celebrate a close family members wedding so we filled the beds with relatives from place far and near. The warmth of the property (and the sun of course) meant the laughs were freely flowing and of course so was the beer.Number one, above all else to the cook who booked the home, was the fact that the knives supplied were sharp - a rental stand alone. Thank you Tina and Matt for creating this sanctuary and sharing it. We very much hope to return

We spend half our life in Port Douglas, and half our life traveling the world. - We travel the world staying in holiday rentals, so we know what makes a great holiday rental, so you will love to stay in our abodes. I am an artist. My husband, Matthew Wild is a chef. Our son, Pablo Wild is ten and sees the world as his home. Our bab who is 3, Hugo is loving the adventures. We travel a lot, but when we are not, we live between Beautiful Port Douglas, Wonga Beach and Amazing Berlin. Come and stay in our charming homes oozing art, soul and creative vibes. Our homes are created with love, lots of hard work, and a passion of collecting and creating. We search the world for items we love. As much as possible, we recycle building materials, and upcycle furniture. Our houses aren't fussy or pretentious, but they are all about charming you, making you feel great, and celebrating the creative spirit.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property in 2012, it was a lonely 1960's bach shack that no one had loved for a very long time, and we put the love back into it over a wonderful year. The house is filled full of upcycled wood, furniture and windows to make it the ultimate tropical house

What makes this property unique

The house captures the light and sea breeze beautifully which is so important in the tropics. It looks over a creek and towering, centuries old paperbark and rainforest trees - what a beautiful view! Its on the beach path, is filled with art and good vibes, is spacious and very special.
