We stayed here for over 6 weeks whilst waiting to move into our home. Lovely apartments with a great view of the ocean, very well equipped, and the managers Mal and Lidi are extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. More

I had stayed here before but forgotten what a gem it is. It is right on the beach. Runners can jog to Twin Waters and back (i used the beach when I could) giving a 10km run if you want. Mal & Lidi the managers are extremely polite and helpful without being intrusive. I have stayed in other units nearby... More

Thank you - it is a 'gem' isn't it. We call it a 'hidden gem' cause so many people do not even know that Marcoola exists, let alone how great our beach is, and the accom here is absolute beachfront. Thanks again for taking the time to write a review and I hope you can visit again soon. All the... More

We stayed at San Marino over the May 2012 long weekend. The units are spotless,spacious, with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Mal and Lidi are very welcoming and couldn't be more helpful. The whole complex is very well maintained.If you are feeling energetic, there is the pool or tennis court to keep you busy. Being located right on... More

Have been going to San Marino since 2005 and have stayed in 4 different units all are lovely and the stay has been great each time. We prefer the 4th floor or above the views are stunning and the sound of the waves at night are so relaxing. Our children that are now grown up still come on holiday and... More

We are always delighted to see repeat guests. Hopefully its because we are doing something right as well as you loving the area where we are situated. Its great to have a guest who is happy even if it rains and that you found something fun to do like visit the Kart Track and spin out on all the corners... More

This was my first stay over the busy holiday period in April this year. Mal & Lidi were great hosts and could not be more accommodating. They even provided a mattress so we could all stay in the one apartment (3 children) + 4 adults. The resort is in a great spot, with easy access to the beach. Most impressive... More

Having stayed all over the Sunshine Coast for many years, we have to say our stay at San Marino, Marcoola, was everything we hoped for and more, and by far, the most unaffected area we have visited. Lovely, well equipped unit with great ocean views and a stroll across the grass onto the sand. No roads to cross! Wonderful walking/running/riding... More

We first stayed at San Marino a few years ago and have been back several times now - it's hard to think about going anywhere else once you've experienced it. We've been in several of the units, they've all been a bit different but all are spacious, spotlessly clean and contain everything you need. The views from the 4th and... More

I have stayed at this property twice. First with a group of friends on a girls' weekend in January, and as we liked it so much, last week with my partner. The resort is in a great spot - direct beach access with beatuiful, natural, uncrowded Marcoola Beach out the front. The beach is flagged during the summer which is... More
