"Perfect stay in Airlie Beach. As a solo traveler, the room was clean and comfortable. The site itself is greatly maintained and gives the illusion of being in a jungle. The site is also centrally located in Airlie Beach, walking distance to the harbors for day trips, the Airlie Beach lagoon and beach areas. It’s also adjacent to a grocery store and pharmacy. The perfect stay for someone who plans on doing day trips and needs a comfortable place to sleep."

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at Picturesque on Passage. The location is great and the view is fabulous! There is some maintenance required at the property (mainly fly screens and doors that need replacing and/or repairing). The top of the fridges needs a good clean and its a bit weird having to walk through a bedroom to get downstairs. Otherwise we were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay."
