Perfect location for the beach and two families. Beach sunsets or from the balcony dining table are awesome. Stayed here mid September, warm days with cool nightsThe only downside, is the lack of ceiling fans, this could be a problem in the summer months Definitely would recommend

Tranquil and by the water

Beautifully located property in Cowan Cowan, good amount of space and comfortable. See glimpses and about 60 metres to the water on the west coast (bayside).

Loathe to tell you how good it was.

This is the best property for two families or a large family. Beautiful quiet getaway location. Bring your food and your set for a relaxing staycation. Didn't want to leave.

Magical, with problems

We had the best holiday, the house is beautiful, close to the beach, the kitchen had everything we needed, we coped with the solar running out and using the generator (it was during a tropical low). The things that threatened to ruin our holiday: we stayed over Australia Day in January, during a heat wave, and were not advised that this house does NOT have ceiling or pedestal fans. For the first three days, the heat was so unbearable at night that we did not get much sleep. We left 3 messages begging for a pedestal fan, we never did get a reply. This is unacceptable when you are paying the crazy fees that Moreton island accommodations feel entitled to charge. The second major issue was the linen communications: we decided to bring our own since the charges per person were too expensive. I asked what size the beds were (was told 2 doubles and 6 singles). I hunted for double bed fitted sheets, only to discover, once we were on the island with no recourse, that the beds are in fact QUEEN beds. It's not hard to communicate information correctly. These 2 events threatened to derail our holiday a bit, but the house, the island, the vibes and the magic of Moreton ensured that we still had a great holiday in the end. Particularly once the breeze came through. (We did eventually manage to beg a fan off of the maintenance man who came to move the generator).

Interesting you say you made contact and begged for fans, If you took the time to actually read the advertising inclusions, no where does it state there are ceiling fans or pedestal fans supplied. This is your bad error when booking. If you like to check the laws with rentals, we are not allowed to supply pedestal fans due to new regulations. Also on the online booking it does state queen beds, and single beds, all other guests who bring linen can manage to bring the correct bed sheets. Maybe again your bad error.

Perfect !

Perfect location with beach straight across road. Being able to set up gazebo on beach and leave it there for the week was great. House had everything you needed and brilliantly designed to cater for families. Would definitely love to go back. Stayed January 2018
