    Pros +

    • Nice location close to beach
    • Ocean Sands is located in a fantastic location at one end of Tedder Ave. Our apartment had views of the river and glimpses of the ocean. It is an easy stroll to both river and beach. Perfect for watching all the boating activities on the water and sunset over the hills.
    • Spacious place with comfortable furniture, and air conditioning in the lounge and main bedroom, which was really comfortable during the hot weather.

    Cons -

    • Paid extra and booked this as a deluxe unit. I wouldn’t classify this as deluxe.
    • Enjoyed everything about our hotel stay
    • The property is quite old, and the bathroom fittings are outdated. For example, the taps don’t have automatic mixer, there are separate hot and cold taps that need to be manually mixed, which makes it really hard for kids to use.The bathrooms also don’t have exhaust fans, so smells end up coming through into the lounge room after someone uses the toilet.

    9SharonPosted on: 1-2-2026

    Location is great

    The lighting. It’s a big space. The lounge area needs a lamp.

    10AshleyPosted on: 12-27-2025

    Location, room sizes, furnishings and the view.

    Bedroom blinds let too much early morning light in.

    9ValeriePosted on: 12-10-2025

    Convenient location to Sea World, the ocean and restaurants.

    It was quiet and spacious.

    Great indoor and outdoor pools.Lots of space and great size of the apartmentNice and quieter part of Gold Coast which was close to Main Beach rsstaraunts and Cafe strip

    Curtains instead of vertical blinds. It gets light very early in the day at that time of year

    8NicollePosted on: 11-22-2025

    Roomy, great furnishings and kitchen equipment.

    Would be great if more than two keys could be available per apartment.

    10AmyPosted on: 11-6-2025

    Great Location and Property for a family. Exceeded expectations

    There was a lot of construction near the property. Construction started at 6am each morning and was quite loud

    7StavrosPosted on: 10-31-2025

    Good space for 2 families. Great location and central to all attractions and restaurants.

    Lots of construction taking place which made it noisy from 5am.

    9ScottPosted on: 10-20-2025

    The location and amazing view of the Broadwater from the unit was one of the best that we have stayed in. We will definitely stay here again. Well located for all you need including an easy walk to the yacht club, surf club and the light rail.The unit was comfortable and had a well equipped kitchen. Staff were friendly and helpful. The BBQ areas were also well equipped and well maintained to allow for self catering. Overall a great place to stay.

    The apartment whilst comfortable was slightly dated and did not entirely reflect the pictures advertised for a deluxe apartment which was a little disappointing.

    5PaulaPosted on: 10-13-2025

    The apartment is large and spacious. Having 2 full bathrooms was great.

    For what we paid for 8 nights and convenience it would have been nice to have more than 1 dishwasher puck, some dish detergent and hand soap in the kitchen. 1 roll of toilet paper for 8 nights was also silly. These items don't cost a lot, and just make the experience better. To go out and buy all these items for just a few nights when travelling isn't reasonable.Don't expect a water or marina view, we didn't have much.There is a lot of construction in the area, so we never got to use the deck or leave doors open as it was just too noisy.Air conditioning wasn't working our first night which was frustrating, but this did get fixed later.

    10MichaelPosted on: 10-11-2025

    Tidy apartment, great view, bigger apartment than most we stayed in at GC before.

    The bedroom tv is a bit dated and found it kept dropping internet connection. A smart tv upgrade could be beneficial for future stayers.

    7SamanthaPosted on: 10-3-2025

    Location, view, spacious

    No air con or fans in one of the bedrooms.Mould in bathroom as no vent in window.Needs an update.Not enough toilet paper supplied for 6 people for 4 days.

    Location. Easy parking & spacious well equipped apartment for family living. Wifi & TV good. Great views.

    Third bedroom is behind plantation shutters that didn’t function well with wheelie beds. Worked for our teenagers but couldn’t operate tv once kids in bed. Steam room not working. Tennis court equipment hire fee off putting.

    8JemmaPosted on: 6-18-2025

    The views were beautiful and the beds very comfy. Lots of room for the whole family.

    The only negative thing I had to say was the hot water ran out each day when we all tried to have a shower.
