Our place is like a resort. Your whole family could holiday here without going anywhere. Even though it’s a short walk to any of 5 beaches , cafes, parks etc you will be tempted to stay home and enjoy the pool and the views.
The space
Our home is high on a hill near the beach. It has been newly renovated to be spacious and bright, modern yet comfortable, relaxing and accomodating. It features all the conveniences to make your stay hassle-free; Wi-fi, flat screens, streaming services, Espresso coffee etc.
Outdoor living areas are on each level. One by the 13m sparkling pool and one an upper level deck provide the utmost in casual living, dining and relaxation.
The house has five bedrooms; 1xK, 3xQ, 1xSingle (plus trundle) accommodating 10 in comfort, with 3 bathrooms (1 en suite). There are 2 indoor living areas (1 up and 1 down) allowing lots of separation for peace and quiet.
The house has been designed to take advantage of the northern aspect and provide coastal views from, and ocean breezes to, almost every room. This keeps us warm in winter and cool in summer (although the a/c can be handy in the hottest months Feb/March).

Neighbourhood
We live at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac street secluded from all. Our hill is the highest in the area affording views way up the coast. We walk to five beaches. The closest, Moffat Beach at 750 m is one of the best surf breaks on the east coast. Dickie Beach, and Kings Beach have good surf and are patrolled by life-guards, Shelley Beach is rocky and teems with rock pools and marine life, while Bullcock Beach and Golden Beach are calm water. All offer parks, playgrounds, cafes and shops, and the fishing is also excellent!
The town center, shops, supermarkets etc. are at 1km.
Caloundra is a small town, 88 km from Brisbane International Airport, and 20kms from Maroochydore Domestic, on Queensland's famous Sunshine Coast. Glamorous NOOSA HEADS is 48km to the north, while the pristine wilderness of FRASER ISLAND is 50kms from there. For a break from the beach, 20mins drive into the hills brings mountain villages like Maleny, Montville and Flaxton with wineries, antiques, arts and crafts etc. AUSTRALIA ZOO is at 10 km (Crikey!).

Becky and I are a newly retired couple from the Fabulous Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia. We have 3 grown kids all out doing their own thing.We have travelled extensively with kids, friends and extended family including Home Exchanges over the years and now look forward to more exploring as a couple or perhaps with another couple.
we often travel at home in our motor home so can always look at non-simultaneous or non-reciprocal exchanges.
Currently looking for short stays in Europe in Sept/Oct 2023 particularly Prague, Berlin and Vienna or anything for March 2024 onwards
People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community. We believe in sharing, trust, generosity, respect, communication, equality, cooperation, honesty, hospitality, friendship, flexibility and adventure. We take pride in our homes and we care about the environment in which we live: our village, city, country and our planet. We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
