Neil and Jody do a superb job in guest relations and maintenance of the rooms and grounds. For us it was a convenient central location to reach Noosa and Moolooaba. The spacious unit on the 4th floor had great views towards Old Woman Island from a reasonable size balcony. Wifi available but pricey. Excellent coffee shop across the road with... More

this was my second visit to San Marino & it certainly will not be my last. The apartments are spacious, clean & have everything you need to be comfortable. The only downside is that if you don't have a car it is a bit difficult to get around to restaurants etc. The bbq & pool area is beautifully maintained as... More

My husband and I recently stayed at San Marino by the Sea for a weekend away to celebrate our wedding anniversary. A lovely spot just minutes from the many amentities and attractions of the Sunshine Coast. Also handy is the shops opposite the complex for those few forgotten items. The kitchen was impressive as was the apartment. We stayed in... More
