About this property

Coolum Family Haven

Relax and unwind in this spacious, family-friendly holiday home just 700m from the beach and a 10-minute walk to Coolum’s hub, where you’ll find cafés, restaurants, shops, playgrounds, and the local skate park. Set in a quiet, child-friendly cul-de-sac, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and coastal charm.

With generous open-plan living, a large backyard, sparkling heated pool, and a Bali hut, there’s plenty of space for everyone to spread out and enjoy their holiday. The entertaining deck is ideal for family BBQs, long lunches, or simply relaxing with the ocean breeze and sounds of the surf — rain, hail, or shine.

Kids will love the cubby house, pool, and fully fenced yard, while pets are welcome too — with Coolum’s popular dog beach ‘Stumers’ less than a 10-minute stroll away. The yard and pool are both fully fenced, keeping children and pets safe.

Enjoy the best of the Sunshine Coast with the beach only 700m away and Coolum’s shops, cafés, and playgrounds within a 10-minute walk. Noosa Heads, Hastings Street, and the Sunshine Coast Airport are just a 20-minute drive, while Brisbane is an easy 1 hour and 20 minutes away. National parks, scenic lookouts, and walking trails are all close by, making it the ideal coastal getaway.

The home features three large air-conditioned bedrooms, including a main bedroom with ensuite, plus a separate bathroom and toilet for the other rooms. A portacot and extra mattress can be supplied on request. The open lounge, kitchen, and dining area offer everything you need for a comfortable stay — a large couch, smart TV, induction cooktop, oven, dishwasher, and coffee machine.

Whether it’s sunny or not, there’s always something nearby to explore. Walk or hike Emu Mountain or Coolum Mountain, visit local markets in Coolum, Peregian, Eumundi, or Noosa, take the kids to Aqua Fun Park, Australia Zoo, or Underwater World, or simply relax on the beach and explore the nearby Hinterland and Glass House Mountains.

There’s off-street parking for multiple cars, and the home is a short walk to the bus stop connecting you to Sunshine Coast destinations, with free services available during Easter and Christmas holidays. The property is pet-friendly, but please ensure pets are cleaned up after.

This is a quiet neighbourhood, and we ask guests to respect our neighbours by keeping noise to a minimum. Parties of any kind are strictly prohibited and will result in the loss of bond.

Beautiful house, perfect for our family and young kids who loved splashing in the pool, jumping on the trampoline and the cubby house and mud kitchen offered hours of entertainment. The kitchen was well appointed and the espresso machine was great location easy to access the best of coolum

Fabulous family getaway

We absolutely loved our stay, humans and furry people alike. The house was everything we hoped it would be. The location was perfect, being able to walk to the beach was magical. Overall, a delightful family getaway!

Amazing family home

This house was so homely and perfect. Even though it was just my husband and I with our dog it has everything you could want for if traveling with kids. The house is even more welcoming than the pictures. I was very grateful for the air conditioning in every room and lovely pool. This is so clearly a family home rather than a cold holiday let (that usually only come with one 2 dinner plates and blunt knives) and so it felt like a privilege to be welcomed in.

Great house close to dog friendly beach

We had a nice stay in this lovely house. Access to the garage woyld have been good, or should have been explicitly mentioned on the booking page. Some dishes in the kitchen were not clean. Could find the broom next to the fridge but no dust pan. But overall a good place.

Nice but

A good family home that is a bit tired. I had expected a higher standard for the price. Most of the pillows were quite awful. The home really wasn’t suitable in size for 4 couples.

Awesome & exceed expectations

well maintained house, close to the off leash dog beach, close to the shops but far enough away from the bustle of Coolum. Pretty much bring your clothes, beach gear and food. Nothing else is required (Even mozzie coils :) ) Great feature is to sit in the pool after a day of sun and salt at the beach.

A great house and location for our extended family Christmas.

A wonderful set up for our family needs and our pets. A really nice pool and surrounds. Within easy walking distance to shops and the dog friendly off leash beach at Coolum.

Fantastic Pet Friendly House

What a beautiful, comfortable, inviting house!! My family loved our stay. It is a short walk to an amazing dog off leash beach. Great facilities with lots of extra bonuses you don’t normally find in a rental. Shops and restaurants are only a short walk away. Highly recommend staying here.

Why they chose this property

Lots of entertaining potential just a short walk from the beach! This house is located in a very child friendly street with a private entry into the house.

What makes this property unique

We love our home and enjoy sharing what we have to offer with others. If it is the beach you are after, it is just a short stroll down the road passing cafes and parks. If you just want to relax at home kids can enjoy the cubby, pool and lawn area.
If the weather isn't great, the are lots of attractions nearby. Take a short drive to the movies in Noosa, visit Australia Zoo or take a day trip to Malaney.
