Waterfront vacation rentals in Cairns North

Great spot right in front of the beach and next to the restaurants if you want to eat out.

Absolutely wonderful week stay at Denis and Annes property. Everything was exactly as described. Clean, very comfortable and the facilities were excellent. Plenty of kitchen equipment, full washing facilities and the bathrooms were large. The beds were so comfortable! I highly recommend and we will definitely be back. On Palm Cove itself, the fishing was superb and a good variety of species to chase. The swim net was a area we used daily. Plenty of restaurants all within walking distance. I am so impressed with everything we have come across this week. Thank you to Denis and Anne for such a wonderful accommodation and allowing us to stay!

We had an amazing stay! The place was spotlessly clean and wonderfully quiet, providing everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. It was incredibly spacious for the three of us, and the pool area was a standout—warm, with plenty of shaded spots and a BBQ area, perfect for relaxing. The other guests were delightful, friendly, and always up for a good chat! Our time here felt too short, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!

Fabulous few days in a desirable location by the sea. Host was helpful, friendly and responsive. Would definitely visit again.

Great place to stay and in a central location! Highly recommend.

Very nice place to stay on the beach. Well maintained apartment. Close to restaurants. Nice pool. Recommend to others.

Wonderful apartment perfect location for the beach. Loved the pool really convenient. Easy to get into Cairns on the bus or taxi, but really loved the esplanade & relaxed atmosphere very chilled. All the photos match the reality with everything you could want or need. Lovely touches with beach towels & chairs. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your apartment we had a great time!

I booked Carolyn's apartment for my husband and son who were in Cairns for a fishing charter. They said the view was stunning and the location of the apartment was perfect being right next door to the marina. With a pool and restaurants on the ground level, everything was easy access. The apartment was beautifully decorated, extremely comfortable with everything needed for a great stay in Cairns. Carolyn the host was very helpful with her instructions for getting access and keys - all very straightforward. Carolyn thoughtfully had air con and fans running in the apartment before my husband and son arrived - it was much appreciated with the Cairns heat.

We had the most wonderful stay at Trinity Beach. The house was spectacular, everything was as desceibed and more. There was so much to keep the kids occupied that they were reluctant to leave the house at times. The beds were very comfortable, plenty of pillows and extra throws. It was still very warm and humid at times in Cairns but the aircon kept us all cool along with the lovely breezes in the afternoon and evening. The kitchen was well supplied with lost of extra basics in the pantry. There was every type of appliance which made cooking a breeze. The bathrooms were well stocked with a lovely selection of shampoo, conditioner and body wash (Large Bottles not those skimpy one use only containers which I hate). The laundry was great, a big clean front loading washing machine and dryer plus a clothes line under cover and well supplied with washing powder too. The pool and the spa were what attracted us to the property and were a great sucess with all, will definetly come here again.

A beautiful location with the sea just outside! Sunrises are superb. Shame you can’t swim in the sea due to the crocs.

We totally enjoyed our stay at Nadia’s place. Great location, quiet, well presented home and I especially loved the pool. 5 stars for everything. I would love to stay there again😊

This holiday house was perfect for our 2 families. Great location close to town, clean and tidy and a great layout. Pool was a hit with the kids. Kitchen was super well equipped for family meals and great extra things for the kids to keep them amused. Welcome basket was a lovely touch. Antje was very responsive if we had any issues. Highly recommended. Would definitely stay again

We just finished up an amazing 1.5 weeks at Renee's beautiful place. We're a family of 4 (2 teenagers, 2 adults) and this house was perfect! We had enough room to spread out but also great common areas to share meals, conversation and games. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking - dishes, many different appliances, pots/pans as well as basic staples like olive oil. The outdoor spaces were lovely; the landscaping is beautiful and the large deck became our favorite place to hang out and watch the river, butterflies and birds. The layout was great for us - two of the bedrooms are connected to the main house via the deck so it gave everyone their own space. We had a chance to go swimming in the river which our kids loved. We arrived to Cairns very early & Renee was gracious enough to allow us to check in early which we appreciated after 28hrs of travel! We would definitely stay here again - we were sorry to leave!

We were lucky to stay at this beautiful beach house on very short notice after other accommodation fell through. Nicola was quick to respond and helped us get into the house within 30 minutes of contact. when we arrived the place was pristine with a lovely homey feel and decor that suited it's tropical beachfront location. Kitchen was extremely well stocked with thoughtful touches like included oils, sauces and washing up material. nothing worse than a stingy host! The back deck was lovely to sit on with views of their very secluded beachfront, it felt like our own personal beach! plenty of room for the 5 of us with a great pool to chill out in. Thanks for having us!

Beautiful house. My family had a great holiday. Great communication and any issues were sorted straight away. Happy to recommend this place.

Awesome super hosts. Responsive, friendly and welcoming. This dream location for an epic family holiday was beyond expectations! The beachfront location with lush scenery and everything you can imagine to see and do was simply incredible!

This place was great! The location is very good at the harbour. The apartment is duper clean and well equipped with everything you need. Check-in was super easy and the host would always reply within 30 minutes. Highly recommend this place! 😊

The apartment was very comfortable and had all the amenities needed. The aircon could be changed in every room (important in Cairns), the beds were super comfortable and the kitchen had everything needed. I found it a really nice balance between a hotel and airbnb. Thomas was very friendly and accommodating and I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for a beautiful stay. The staff were very responsive & waiting for us upon arrival. Balcony overlooks the pool, spa + has ocean glimpses through the trees. It was very relaxing sitting up there, watching the sunset & sunrise. The rooms are maintained well for the age with extra touches like rolled towels, hand cream, soap etc. The kitchen has a pods machine, small dishwasher, double hotplates, microwave. Note no oven. The washing machine, dryer, and towel rack were very handy to ensure dry swimming items. The bedrooms are seperated by glass, offering limited privacy. However, both the rooms have balcony views. Overall, we had a wonderful time. We especially enjoyed swimming in the large lagoon style swimming pool, surrounded by picturesque tropical grounds.

The location of the apartment and the views are great. The place is just as described & very comfortable. Thomas' responses & communication were always very prompt & helpful. I would highly recommend his place to anyone coming to Cairns.

A sprawling home with great views. Kitchen was fabulous. The bedrooms and bathrooms were top notch. The patio area had comfortable seating. Even though the place is a part of a small group of apartments, it felt totally private. Covered car park was a bonus. Hosts are super responsive and helpful. One reaches the place through two flights of narrow stairs. It may be difficult to carry large luggage or if you have mobility issues. Otherwise this is a dream vacation home

We loved it and the area suited us perfectly. We loved the view and proximity to everything we had planned. We would recommend Marc's place.

We traveled to Cairns for a family vacation! Christine’s place was top notch in terms of location and surroundings with very happening cafes & restaurants just around the corner. Moreover, we spent 2 days just enjoying the property with great ocean views and coffee ! Pool & tennis lawn added more entertainment! This relaxed city & the property has given our family a core travel memory! Highly recommend this property a great family vacation living experience !

You cannot beat this location - the kitchen, living and dining has 180 degree views of the harbour and it's truly spectacular. The bedrooms and bathrooms were lovely too, as was the pool in the complex.
