We are a family of nine and we were looking for a house for a week in the Surfers Paradise area that would give us easy access to the Theme Parks etc.

We found "Allure on Capri" on Stayz.com which suited our needs with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, swimming pool, security parking. 

Having three young children on board we found the security fencing on the property very comforting, the swimming pool was a good size and there was plenty of room for us to spread out.
The back yard space was not very useful because the block slopes steeply to the wharf area.

The Master Suite was amazing - such a huge space for just two people and included an enormous walk in wardrobe, an enormous bathroom, enormous bedroom and two huge balconies. 

The downstairs bedrooms were good, especially the Queen Room with ensuite and walkin wardrobe.

The upstairs family bedroom was only just adequate for our young family of five. I would have liked to see some of the Master Suite space used for an ensuite plus playroom for the family.  They did manage very well but more floor space and an ensuite would have made it ideal.

The kitchen area was good except it was getting a little dog eared with use. The refrigerator was not working properly. 

We enjoyed the swimming pool and lounge areas. The boys tried out the wharf fishing and appreciated the fishing gear supplied.

Overall we were very happy with the house.  It is getting a little old and maintenance was required while we were there. That aside, we would recommend this house as a good rental option for families.
