Comfortable stay, wonderful views and facilities.
Spent 7 nights in the 3 bedroom apartment. An excellent stay. The private roof top area which included an electric BBQ was a great place to enjoy lunch or dinner with a wonderful view. Kitchen well equipped and beds all very comfortable. Great to walk out directly to beach without having to cross any roads. Friendly and helpful manager. Would love to have stayed longer.

The property is located on the sand dunes at the patrolled Marcoola beach. Across the road are a few cafes to get morning coffee and also casual dinner options (fish chips etc). The property next door has an open to public bar and bistro. We have found this property to be well suited to our needs as a family with small children. On site there is a pool, bbq area, tennis court and basketball. Adjacent to the property is a small kids park and walking distance is a skate park.

Sam Marino by the Sea has an out standing location, a great park on the boardwalk at the rear of the complex and a very short walk to the life guard patrolled beach, perfection. At the front of the complex across the road were all the coffee / take away shops, chemist, servo etc., very convenient. The complex itself has a great recreational area with tennis courts, heated pool and BBQ area, the grounds are extremely well maintained. Our unit was perfect, it had everything you could possibly want and overlooked the park, it was surprisingly very quiet. Could not fault the cleanliness of the complex nor the unit. On arrival I was checked in by Richard who with his wife Leith are the on site managers, Richard showed me my parking spot, assisted with luggage to the unit and gave a brief but detailed tour of said unit, he was incredibly kind, helpful and knowledgeable while being very professional, my grandsons x 2 (5) called him " that nice man', high praise indeed!

One of the best apartment style hotels I’ve stayed in. Excellent facilities, super clean and easy access to everything the kids and “big kids” could need. Loved how close it was to everything yet was still in a fairly peaceful location away from the hustle and bustle with the added bonus of the beach at your backdoor. Apartments were well stocked and the only complaints the kids had was no wifi which I didn’t see as a bad thing so overall-winning! Thanks for a lovely weekend guys.
