22. Beachfront apartment with ocean views

If you stay at this beachfront apartment, one of the things you’ll enjoy is waking up to the sounds of the waves crashing and the refreshing wind from the ocean. This unit is located on the fourth floor of the building and has a private balcony overlooking the stunning views of the ocean and sunset.

Staying indoors will be just as enjoyable as going outside because this unit has a television with a sound system where you can listen to music while dancing to the beat or simply watch your favorite shows and movies. However, if you prefer a calmer type of entertainment, there are books you may read and let your mind run wild with.

With its beaches, warm weather, eateries, and wide range of attractions, Sunshine Coast is basically paradise! It would be a shame to dampen this wonderful heaven-on-Earth trip with subpar housing. Select housing that is as lovely as the city to enjoy it to the fullest! Have fun in paradise!
