Listing data updated 15 June 2026

If you can … cast your mind back to family holidays at caravan parks on the waterfront in the 1970s (if you're lucky enough to have experienced that) – NOW – bring that emotional memory forward to a beach suburb only ten minutes' drive North of Cairns CBD and add modern attributes like air-conditioning, queen sized beds, fully self-contained granny flat and restaurants only a one minute walk from the front door… welcome to your new waterfront escape. This property has had a history of hosting Air B'n'B guests and boasts many five star testimonials from very happy families who've enjoyed the laid back ambience. Although quite rustic, the main residence has a beautiful soul. It consists of two bedrooms, one bathroom and an open plan lounge / living area opening onto a deck overlooking the Coral Sea. The Esplanade is a no thru street, with a fabulous walking path which takes you right across the small bridge to Redden Island. Fishing off the rock wall is sensational or just sit and enjoy the sunrises and at the right time of year watch pelicans and dolphins. The separate & spacious rear garden granny-flat was a new addition around 10 years ago and consists of a single queen sized bedroom, modern bathroom with an open plan kitchen / living room. There is a hammock on the front deck where you can collapse and enjoy ocean views, feeling those cooling ocean breezes. If you're ready to step into a suburb where the neighbours do call you by name, then do not delay your enquiry. This property represents great value and offers an escape for the world weary … or the astute investor. There are options to live in the flat whilst you renovate the main house or live in the main house and earn additional income from the flat. This is all about LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
