On our travels and chasing our dreams we came across San Marino by the Sea at an essential moment on our journey. We needed a place to call home while our international visas were being processed and we need somewhere comfortable and homely. San Marino not only afforded us all of that and more the managers were the most hospitable,... More

This was our 4th holiday at San Marino, Marcoola. Our two children are now 9 and 7. The great thing about San Marino which we love is the safety factor whereby there is no road to cross to get to the patrolled beach. We have stayed in 2 and 3 bedroom units, all which are lovely and well equipped. I... More

Oustanding in all aspects; spent 6 nights over NY weekend with family in 3 br top floor apartment. Lovely ocean views & breeze, well set out, very well maintained, quiet and very relaxing ..just what we were looking for to "chill out" after a busy 2011. Great to be away from the crowds and cafe's of Noosa & Caloundra, but... More

A group I ten stayed over Christmas. We had 2x three bedroom apartments. Both had sea views and were extremely clean and very well set out. Perfect for 5 adults in each apartment as there were two bathrooms in each along with a laundry. There was enough space for everyone without feeling like we were on top of each other.... More

Great service. The apartment was super clean and very well fitted out. The whole complex is exceptionally maintained and it is so close to the beach, that the choice between the pool and surf was always hard. We'll definitely be coming back! More

We love staying at the San Marino. This is our fourth stay in five years (my wife will corrrect me if I'm mistaken). The patrolled beach is great, as it is straight in front of the Motel with no road between, just sand dunes and trees. the Motel facilities are super clean and well maintained, and it's in close proximity...

Great location and the service was fantastic. We received a complimentary late check out which was so nice and we did not expect.! The beauty was being right next to the beach. Spacious apartments which were very clean. Lovely quiet area with not many tourists. All in all we had a lovely time ! More

We spent five days at San Marino in October. Marcoola is a great base for exploring the Sunshine Coast - it was a short drive to everywhere we wanted to see but far enough away from the hustle and bustle that we could relax and feel we had truly found a beach escape. We were particularly impressed by the breathtaking... More
