About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

'IslandView' The Perfect Holiday Home

'IslandView' is a fabulous, large home set on one level with magnificent breezes overlooking Hideaway Bay, the Gloucester Passage and Whitsunday Islands views that you will rave about. Watching the Sunrise over the ocean is a thrill to behold and Sunset from the beach at Monte's Reef Resort or Gloucester Eco Resort is something not to be missed. One of the rare places in Australia where you can see the Sun set over the ocean. Photographers heaven where the bird life will keep you captivated.

The space

Access is via a small set of steps at the front of the house. For wheelchair access the house can be entered through the garage. All bedrooms are large with King, Queen & 2 Long Singles (zipped together they make a King.) The combined lounge/dining area also has a Queen size Sofa Bed for children only. All linen is provided. The kitchen is fully equipped with utensils, cooking equipment, dishwasher (powder satchet's provided) along with wash cloths, detergent, tea towels and rubbish bags. The laundry has a front loader washing machine and a dryer. Laundry powder satchet's are provided. The wall mounted clothes line is outside the laundry door. A 55" Smart TV is fitted to the wall of the lounge room, so if you wish to bring a hard drive or USB you can view your movies or music etc.

Guest access

The entire house is available to guests other than locked owner cupboards and one space in the double garage. At some times of the year the mandarin tree is in full fruit and we would love our guests to take advantage of this by enjoying these flavoursome treats.

Interaction with guests

As much as we would love to greet our guests personally, we live on the Sunshine Coast so are just a phone call away if our guests require advice on anything. We also have a handyman available at Hideaway Bay if needed.

Other things to note

'IslandView' is on tank water so it is appreciated when our guests take this into consideration. 2 large rubbish bins are provided in the garage for items from the kitchen bin. These can be emptied at the Dingo Beach Refuse Tip approximately half way on the right to Dingo Beach. All rubbish is to be removed from the premises prior to vacating.

Shirley’s place is up there with one of the best places we have ever stayed. It was spotless, had very comfortable beds, everything you could possibly need to cook with and of course the best view! Bonus that it was dog friendly and could relax while Marlin lay on the massive enclosed balcony with nice ocean breezes. We will definitely be back

The perfect 'hydeaway'

Congratulations to Shirley on the presentation of 'Island View'. So clean, spacious, comfortable, with all the necessaries to enjoy our stay. Liked the coastal theme of the house too, blended in beautifully with that stunning ocean view. We all spent many hours just relaxing on the patio enjoying that vista. It was very relaxing walking around the exposed sands and rock pools at low tide. Our young blue heeler loved it too. The perfect ocean view! The perfect getaway!

Relaxing Stay - One of the Best

We have just completed our third or forth stay at "Islandview" and everyone of them has been absolutely great. Hideaway Bay is a quiet, tranquil location where you can unwind completely. Shirley made us feel welcome (including our Bassets (Elroy & Phoebe) by providing immaculate & spacious accommodation, overlooking the Pacific ocean. We spent most of our time sitting on that expansive front patio, which is inviting from the moment you awake. The home is fully equipped, meaning that you only need to travel lightly to the destination. Highly recommend a visit. We will be returning many more times.

Extended Family holiday

WOW!! This property was even more than the photos showed, and Shirley is the most considered host I have come across in a long time. We shared the house with another couple, there was plenty of space - the deck our favorite with its magnificent views, the deck also hosted a few evenings with our extended family (4 families) comfortably. A property that we will stay again in. Thanks, Shirley, for being a great host and providing all the extra comforts to make our stay amazing!

A month of bliss

First ..Dear Shirley, thankyou again it was just as beautiful as our first and second visit. The fur boys had just the best time and a thankyou to you both for the extra fencing. I've taken so long to write this because with heavy heart ,we won't be able to get back up next year 😥❤ Second..Future Guests, if your looking for a place to just be this is the place , so very beautiful . I've already reviewed Island View twice before and I can't add anything other than after a month at this hidden gem, we are still so chilled it's sickening. Shirley is a great host easy to deal with and if she says it's there it will be. I have no doubt she will have some helpful hints for you. I will add two.... most of the tour operators have access to pet sitting when your out on the reef(we recommend anything that goes to the reefs around Hook Island ). The other is the Eco resort does the best pork belly and sunset . Enjoy 😉

You can definitely go back

We stayed here a year ago, and had, had a perfect holiday. Over the past 12 months much has happened in the world, and in that time we did stay at another Stayz dog friendly home complete with beach. Which was of course in our beautiful state Queensland. It was lovely but just not something. When planning our last holiday for the year,we kept going back to Hydeaway Bay and in the end booking two weeks. There was no other choice of holiday home for us, it was always going to be Island View Two glorious weeks later ..... We have said it and it is a thing , "You can't go back it will never be the same" well it wasn't the same, it was better. We we're at home the minute we stepped through the front door. So we now are planning a full month and we don't need to look any further than Island View. Shirley and Danny, we love your home away from home. Everyday was perfect no matter what we chose to do. That front deck! The views, the home comforts and Roomba who we call Robo Cop. The dog beach out front is great for furries (they explored every inch), and humans with crystal clear water ( it is a little rocky so just look and you can find a clear path)and occasional glimpses of a rather friendly green sea turtle. Thankyou for sharing your little piece of paradise see you in around 345 days. Donna and Fletcher, with the furries Ralph, Doug and Harvey xxxxxx
