Great comfy beach house
We had a great time. The house was large and roomy. Kids loved the pool. The only reason for not giving it 5 stars was the bathrooms are a little older. Would recommend - comfy, great location and so relaxing.

Absolute beachfront
Our family absolutely loved staying here. Swimming in the pool looking out at the beach was fantastic. There is a fabulous cafe two doors down that serves the best breakfast. Host Ida is so nice and helpful. Highly recommend.

This is a quirky, older style house, right on the beach. It has a really lovely aspect and big back deck, opening right out on to the beach (but you can't swim because of stingers/crocs). It's a great family place. The pool is very nice. For over $1,000 a night we were surprised the owner hadn't fixed basic things like stuck windows and doors, and a broken shower hose and leaking shower head (particularly where there had been earlier complaints). Overall, you are paying for location, which is great. Note: there's quite a lot of aircraft noise from about 6am. Communication etc from the agent (Freeman's Residential) was excellent.

60 Hibiscus lane is not what you expect for your money
The Property is very dated and the bathrooms are in need of a complete renovation ,they are below simple standard. The dishwasher was broken and there was no dining table and chairs in the house. After dark it was impossible to eat outside because of the mosquitoes. The house was clean and the deck and view towards the ocean is very nice. This accommodation is not worth the money

Our Stay in Cairns
We stayed at the Freeman's house in Cairns during our diving trip to the Great Barrier Reef, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The location of the house couldn't be better. Situated right on the beach, we enjoyed stunning views and easy access to the water. The setting was serene and perfect for relaxation. The VRBO itself was spacious and well-equipped, accommodating our group comfortably. The manager was indeed very responsive and helpful throughout our stay, promptly addressing any questions or concerns we had. However, we did encounter a couple of maintenance issues that affected our stay. There was a significant leak in one of the bedrooms, which unfortunately made the room unusable due to a sewage-like odor. Additionally, the air conditioning unit in another room was not functioning properly. While not as critical as the leak, it did affect the comfort level in that particular room, especially during the warmer days. Overall, while we appreciated the beautiful location and the responsiveness of the manager, the maintenance issues we encountered did detract from our overall experience. Once resolved, this house will undoubtedly be a top-notch choice for anyone visiting Cairns. We hope the management takes these concerns seriously to ensure future guests have an excellent stay.

Great beach house
The outlook from the house is amazing, the beach is your backyard with a swimming net just to the left of the property. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Only downside was that it was quite hot inside and difficult to regulate temperature across the house but I think they have taken every possible step to mitigate this short of ducted aircon as there is aircon in every bedroom and the living area. Great prompt responses from the owner whenever I had any questions too. Thanks!

Excellent location.
Fantastic for our 4 kids. Amazing views and well positioned pool. Air con was not ducted but managed and the check in process was painful with poor communication and an owner that was not available.

Pro's and Con's
In terms of location, it is brilliant. Right on the door step of the beach and only metres from the swimming section during stinger season. Decent pool too. However, there is NOTHING in Holloways Beach. Just for basic shopping there is nothing. A car or uber defiantly required. With the house, not sure why the best air-conditioning system was in the laundry and not in the living area or bedroom where really needed??. All curtains are sheer. Sun's up and so are you!! Dissapointed. On vacation to enjoy some sleeping in which was virtually impossible. Kitchen well equipped, decent size and clean. Bed sheets clean. Main Bathroom very hot and very dark. Another TV would be ideal.
