Sandy Shores Sunshine Coast was just perfect for your weekend away, the room was clean tidy and very much in fashion. The staff couldn't be more helpful before, during and after our stay. we were in a beach view apartment and loved it, wish we could have stayed longer. we will be booking this place again. A Big Thank you... More

The place was clean, but there are many design flaws. Unit 6 was the one we stayed in, it has no soapdish in the rather small bathroom, the toilet roll holder is so close to the door you knock it off every time you brush past it. The door keycards are fiddly, and you pretty much have to exit your... More

Book accommodation at Sandy Shores each year for 2 weeks. The apartments are right across from Golden Beach and a short walk to shops. Apartments are very clean with great views and fully self contained. We have found the managers to be very helpful and friendly to a couple of old grey nomads

Stayed at Sandy Shores unit 6 for 3 nights in January with 2 grandchildren. The unit very spacious and clean although needs a refurbishment as most furniture and utensils quite old, towels a little thin. Good location opposite clean beach. 15 minute walk to main center or the small shopping complex in other direction. Great balcony with views and very... More

I don't usually go to the effort of writing bad reviews but felt that this one was warranted due to the extremely disappointing service. Had three nights booked in Jan, supposedly on the top (fourth) floor. When we turned up (with baby and food shopping in the car) they tried to put us in a ground floor unit without even... More

We spent xmas week at Sandy Shores. First impressions are that it is clean and reasonably attractive from the outside although it is a fair walk from here to the surf beach which may not bother elderly guests. My only real problem with Sandy Shores is that there is a smoking area which happened to be situated right outside one... More

stayed for seven nights. Unit was on third floor overlooking the passage and ocean. Had a wonderful stay. Nice complex and conveniently located, within walking distance to Caloundra shopping and Golden Beach shops. Not far to drive to Pelican Waters Shopping centre.

We have been holidaying in Caloundra for the past 10 years and have been very happy with our normal accommodation but wanted to look around for something different - BIG MISTAKE!

The customer was attempting to take advantage of a virus that was affecting our computer and book accommodation for $10 per night. Be Serious!!!!! She would not listen to reason and became verbally abusive to staff. Best to forget this review and look at the many positive responses from other satisfied guests. Sandy Shores remains a popular holiday destination with... More

Super friendly staff that offer excellent service.Spotless rooms, excellent parking.Close to town. And best of all right on the beach!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its easy to find as well. There is always something big going past on the nearby shipping lanes. Its close to everything without the Hustle and Bustle of Surfers

Stayed in a top floor 3 bedroom unit for two nights. Absolutely nothing to fault. The unit was very well maintained, spotlessly clean, and was provided with everything we needed for a family weekend. We will be back and would recommend Sandy Shores to anyone looking for value for money on the Sunshine Coast,
