Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
We have stayed at Sandy Shores for the past 3 years. Chris and Allen are the nicests hosts you'd ever want to meet. You ask and they will accomodate. Location is perfect, right on the Esplenade, only 15 mins to walk to Caloundra. The resort even has a nice pool.The area is perfect for biking. We thoroughly enjoyed our last stay. Every convenience is catered for. The unit we stayed in was spotlessly clean and tidy. Home away from home.

Have been coming here for a number of years now, can't find a better location. Short walk to Caloundra and an easy stroll in the opposite direction to cafes and eating places. In summer you have choice of swimming in the pool or step accross the road for a dip in the little private beach in the Passage. The units are very spacious, bigger than what's on offer in other places. All facilities are provided for, 2 tv's, dish washer, washing machine & drier & aircon. The beds are very comfy and bathrooms & toilets all work as they should. Can't find any cons. Lovely views of Pumicestone Passage. We are looking forward to coming again in the spring. Sandy is the most helpful host.

As a couple we took my mother, who is elderly, and not as mobile as she used to be, and the owners and the complex were perfect for ourselves and my mother. Perfect relaxing unit to unwind and take in the fantastic views. It is also within walking distance of Bulcock beach and all the eatery options they provide. Just walk across the road to golden beach and a beautiful swim. We had such a great stay that we have already booked for 1 week next year.

We stayed at Sandy Shores for a winter school holiday break and what a perfect spot. Location couldn’t be better right across the road from the boardwalk and perfect for kids who love to bike or scoot. Lots of great places to eat very close as well. The apartment was really lovely and big enough to have plenty of space. We will definitely be back again. Thank you Chris for a delightful stay!

On arrival Chris made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much for her. I stayed with my sister and brother in law Wayne Clark in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit with more than enough room for the 3 of us. May I say that the unit was exceptional, well appointed and extremely clean. The beds very comfortable. I would happily recommend Sandy Shores and plan on going back with my grandsons as soon as they are allowed to travel.

We had an amazing weekend at Sandy Shores Golden Beach. The complex has a lovely swimming pool and barbeque area and secure parking. The apartments are in a great location, so close to the beach, foreshore and a short stroll to shops and restaurants. We loved the apartment. It exceeded our expectations and we honestly did not want to leave. The apartment is spacious, with everything you need. Lovely modern decor and so clean! The bed was really comfortable and a nice quiet spot so we slept really well. There are two lovely balconies to sit and enjoy the fresh ocean breeze and the best part was the private rooftop which was brilliant for both the sunrise and sunset. We highly recommend this apartment with its incredible views and facilities.

Another fabulous stay in a 2 bedroom waterfront room. Wonderful service from on-site managers, nothing is a problem and we choose to come back because of their commitment to service. The rooms are spotless with plenty of space and fabulous view. The kitchens are well stocked right down to the egg cups and paper towels. Undercover parking, easy walking distance to beach and shops. Even though it was a rainy Easter, we still had a wonderful stay and totally recommend for a family getaway.
