The space
Welcome to Oceanviews @ First Bay, where breathtaking water views and relaxed luxury meet to create the perfect Coolum Beach getaway. Whether you’re chasing the waves, soaking in the sunshine, or just escaping the daily grind, our top-floor premium apartment offers everything you need for a memorable stay.

Please note: The apartment is located on the third floor without a lift, but the stairs are wide, well-lit, and manageable — most guests find the short climb well worth the views.

🌊 The Space

Our apartment is bright, breezy, and thoughtfully furnished with comfort in mind. It’s not a brand-new build, but that’s part of its charm — think cozy, coastal character with a few scuffs and quirks, like some worn-in hand-painted tiles and minor marks from years of holiday memories. If you’re after a stylish yet relaxed beachside retreat, this is your spot.
