Our 2-bedroom beachfront apartment sits right at First Bay, giving you direct access to the sand and surf — all just steps from the front door. You’ll enjoy ocean views from the living area and balcony, and wake to the sound of waves. The apartment includes a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms (with split-system air conditioning), a shared pool and secure parking. Walk to the beach, then stroll along the coastal boardwalk into Coolum’s cafés, restaurants and shops. We aim to make you feel at home from the moment you arrive: whether that’s relaxing with your morning coffee as the sun rises over the ocean, enjoying a swim at the beautiful first bay, or settling in after a day of exploring with fast Wi-Fi and all the comforts you need.

We love welcoming guests as hosts at Coolum Beach. We’re Stuart and Lauren Stevens. We enjoy hosting because it gives us the chance to share this beautiful place we call home. We love the relaxed charm of Coolum. What really moves us is the way each day can start with a calm beach walk as the sun rises. We often head south along the coast from our place through the coastal-path boardwalk toward Point Arkwright. On that walk you’ll pick up peaceful ocean views, bushland just behind the beach, and even the chance to spot whales, dolphins or turtles off the headlands. We also enjoy exploring the local natural spots around Coolum Beach — walking the paths, stopping for great coffee, and simply soaking in the sea and forest air. We like knowing our guests are just a short stroll from surf, sand, and nature. We created our place to make others feel welcome here, and we hope you enjoy the sense of calm and connection to nature that Coolum brings.
