This house is very well presented and maintained. It's comfortable, it has everything you need, and it's well-positioned for beaches and cafes and a relaxing few days away from home. We (my husband, our golden retriever) and I enjoyed it immensely.
Highly recommend this stay! We had a fabulous time, the dogs were secure while we were out, great location in the Sunshine Coast with close access to all the coastal line

A wonderful dog park is right across the street. It was a perfect stay with pets. Cute, clean with all the comforts! We had a wonderful stay. Close to the beach, covered outdoor area, and lock up garage. Simply perfect.

Great location, easy access, everything was provided and the property had all mod cons to a high standard. Good secure garden and dog off lead was just over the road. We will use again. Kev and Lyn

Thanks Kevin & Lyn :-)
Kev and Lyn were wonderful guests who were neat and tidy and looked after the property. They communicated with us really well and were even kind and thoughtful enough to notify us of a ceiling fan that had broken and were understanding of the situation.
We are glad you liked our property and you are welcome back anytime.
Kind regards,
Linda & Bradley
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away. Close to the beach, really clean, great amenities and very responsive, thoughtful hosts. We will be back. Thank you.. S&K
We enjoyed a lovely 3 days in Marcoola and its beautiful surroundings. The house was clean, very comfortable and our every possible need was well-met. It was also a very dog-safe property which we appreciated. I would definitely recommend it. Thank you to the hosts.

It was a pleasure having you at Meraki Villa. You are welcome back any time.
The house was very heel equiped, new and very comfortable beds and beautiful functional kitchen. We stayed for 12 days and worked for a few days from there. Internet speed was good. We enjoyed long walks on the beach with our dog, went in the morning to see the sunrise and overall enjoyed our stay very much .

Thank you. You are welcome back anytime. It was pleasure having you at Meraki Villa.
My husband and I had a 3 nights stay at this lovely comfortable holiday home in Marcoola, along with our two small fur-kids. A very well-equiped, clean, well-laid out home across the road from the off leash dog park and close to eateries & shops, as well as walking distance to the beach. A great "base camp" to explore the Sunshine Coast. Thank you Linda and Bradley for letting us stay at your holiday home! Ruby and Astro enjoyed their little holiday too!

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. It is greatly appreciated. So nice to see that you enjoyed the Villa and the nearby beaches and the wonderful Sunshine Coast. You’re welcome back anytime. Thanks :-)
Clean & Tidy. Ideal for a small family with pets. Fully fenced small garden across the road from dog park. Kitchen fully equipped.
Proximity to the airport & aircraft noise was the only negative.
The facilities were clean and the kitchen had everything you needed. The bed cushions are good and I stayed comfortably like my own home for 7 days. I appreciate Linda's kindness. I will go to this house again next time. And recommend this house👍
My husband and I together with our pet dog had an enjoyable stay at this property. It is well set up for pets. The small yard is fenced, there is a large undercover area and the property itself provides all that you need. It is under the runway of the airport, however this was not an issue given this is not a busy airport. Overall, for anyone with a dog, this is a good stay and I would be happy to return.

Thank you for your kind and positive review. Hope to see you back some time soon :-)
House was very comfortable, well-equipped. My dog loved the outside area and it was safe and cool for her. Discovery Beach was beautiful but we found it too far to walk to but easy by car. I am always grateful when hosts allow me to bring my dog as she is too old now to leave with anyone else at home. Overall would stay there again and looking forward to our next visit.
Very well presented. Clean and tidy. Extremely comfortable beds. Nice outside area with table tennis and darts
Our only slight gripe was David Low Way is quite a busy road and the property is close to a corner, so getting across the road to the beach was mildly tricky! But we survived!

Hi Linda,
Thanks for your wonderful positive feedback. You are welcome back at Meraki Villa at any time. Hope to see you back soon :-)
PS We have contacted the Sunshine Coast City Council regarding that dangerous bend at David Low Way and have asked them to put traffic lights or a roundabout at or near that bend for people to safely cross. Still waiting for a response from them...
Really nicely decorated and equiped unit. Didn’t want for anything that wasn’t in Unit. Well fenced yard with good outdoor covered area for entertainment. Dog off leash park across the road and beach close enough that my 15 year old Staffy could walk to beach and return without issue. Is near airport but appears commercial aircraft only run in the morning and late afternoon. Plane noise wasn’t an issue to me. Great coffee shop in Marcoola shops. Good and easy communication with owners. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Would come back again.

Liked: Check-in, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication, location
Well presented, great allowing pets
Read the manual, don't accidently forget to put the dishwasher on, and most importantly pick up dog poos even if they are not from your dogs. You will get stung a cleaning fee. Host was a little un reasonable and quite rude. Calling me a liar. Because of his rudeness will not stay again.

We will be having this dishonest review removed ASAP. Until then allow us to tell you the actual truth about the tenant from hell. These people left several dog poos on our property as well as a full load of dirty dishes after they checked-out, and we provided them with photo proof but they still denied that it was them. When I told them that the yard had been mowed that same morning shortly before their check-in and the property cleaned by our Cleaner, which we can prove as we have the receipts from the Gardner and Cleaner. If there was poo already on the yard both the Cleaner and Gardner would have said something and cleaned it up, they still denied it and argued with us going back and forth like children. Even with undeniable proof that they had left faeces in our yard and a big load of dirty dishes in the dishwasher there was no apology for their mistake but rather rudeness and denial.
As for me being rude, that's a lie. After Nick's continuous arguing and denial I simply asked him if someone had stayed at their property and left dog poos and a lot of dirty dishes they'd not be impressed either.
Nick came across as a selfish, entitled brat in denial who got his fingers caught in the cookie jar and continued to deny his mistakes even though the photo proof of the dog poos was undeniable and the fact the Cleaner and Gardner had been there that same day and both reported the house and yard were sparkling clean. You simply can't leave dog poos in someones yard and a dishwasher full of dirty dishes and and think it's ok.
Also, it's in the agreement and written in the house 'Welcome Book' to clean up after your pets and leave the house how it was left or further cleaning charges will be charged. It's a fair and simple rule you would think for both the guests, for us and for the guests who have to stay after they have left poo in the yard and dirty dishes. We were charged $60 extra from our Cleaner to clean up those dog poos and clean the dishes, we simply forwarded on those charges which is fair.
Check our other reviews and you will see all of our guests accept this rule and all of our guests give us shining reviews, except for this entitled brat who left dog poos and dirty dishes after check-out. You make up your own mind who is wrong here people... ;-)
