Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at Shifting Sands twice now and it's been the perfect place to bring our UK friends for a Straddie holiday. The ocean view is stunning and plenty of room to keep out of each others way. Only a minute or so drive down to the beach. The house is very well maintained and clean. Absolutely would highly recommend.

Large house with huge balcony

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were two couples and one child in this house for 5 nights and it was certainly spacious enough. The view was great from the balcony, which was a highlight.The bedrooms and living areas were a good size and the kitchen bench enormous. There was adequate kitchen ware which was good too.However we were surprised that there we no bins provided in the bathrooms or toilets. There was a basket in the main bathroom but that was obviously not sufficient for sanitary products. There was no hairdryer and also no hand towel for the upstairs toilet. If the owners fix these few small issues I think this house is a good option for a couple of families.Regarding location, it is quite a steep walk to the beach (especially on the way up!) so a car is definately recommended.

Great stay at Shifting Sands on North Stradbroke Island

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Shifting Sands ticked all the boxes for our family stay. House was very clean and yard was in perfect condition. It has fabulous views and we spotted heaps of whales. A clothes dryer would be beneficial as we had some inclement weather and washing bath towels was awkward, also only four bowls so we had to take turns to have cereal and dessert!

Very pleasant stay

We had a very pleasant time, not much disturbance from neighbour, only one night it’s why we used another room The cleaning should be better, especially the cupboards, drawers and cooktop We are aware of toilet paper shortage but to have only half rolls or even less in the toilets ( really) and just one kitchen towel and 2 broken dishwasher tablets for 8 days it’s not acceptable.

Fabulous house

Our third annual holiday at Shifiting Sands and again was a hard place to leave. Beautiful house perfectly set up for large families. Our children appreciate the large yard and cubby house. Beautiful deck and comfortable furnishings although main bedroom bed is a bit hard but all other beds very comfortable. Huge island bench is a perfect place to set up a huge holiday puzzle. Our favourite place to stay when at Straddie.

Ah - The Serenity

Whilst you are 3 minutes from the pub, 3 minutes from the Bowls Club (with their excellent meals and prices)and 2 minutes from Home Beach, you could also be a world away. At the top of the hill with 180 degree views of the ocean, it is so quiet in the cul-de-sac that you can choose to be part of the world just sit on the spacious deck and read or sip or chat. We've been many times and will go many more again.
