Weekend at Maggie

We arrived slightly earlier than planned but we're able to leave our luggage in the house so we could wander around the area. Great accommodation, awesome location, pool was great for a well earned swim at the end of the day. Will be back, if they will have us.

Good location and practical house

My daughter didn’t want to leave, she enjoyed the “Blue House” too much! And so did we :) Good location and very functional too! We even found some kids books to read before going to bed which was great!

Great house in great neighbourhood

Horseshoe Bay is definitely the best place to stay on the island. House was great, very convenient for the local bus and about a 15min walk to the beach. House was very clean, tidy and comfortable. Would definitely stay again

Very relaxing accommodation

I had a relaxing stay in your accommodation and would definitely stay at the property again, there were only two minor issues, the first is the smoke detector activated due to a flat back up battery but was resolved quickly even though it occurred on a weekend and I received a number of calls inquiring about the length of my stay with Cindy believing I should have booked out a day earlier than the booking I had made.

Magnetic Island retreat

Marvellous holiday house - open plan with big stacker doors opening the kichen/living room to the fabulous covered deck and onto the pool - totally dreamy! I wanted to pick up the whole place and bring it home. Lovely furnishings and very well equipped kitchen. Spotlessly presented, including the pool. Can walk to the beachfront easily and close to the bus stop too to take you around the island, The surrounding estate seemed a little bare at the start as there are vacant blocks, but we quickly got used to it, with friendly locals saying hi while walking their dogs, and enjoyed the benefits it provided of small kangaroos on the grass and lots of birdlfe. We loved it, highly recommended :)

Excellent property

We had a wonderful three nights away at Barefoot Beach House. The property was well equipped, beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. The location was perfect - a short stroll away from shops and cafes and a 5 minute car journey to idyllic Alma Bay. Will be back in the cooler months to take advantage of the walking tracks.

Excellent holiday home

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The house was reasonably priced and had everything you could want as far as features, kitchenware etc and even a bookcase of books! A pleasant 10min walk over the boardwalk to Horseshoe Bay. We were very glad to have AC and a pool as it was a hot weekend! Would definitely stay here again.
