Crystal Beach 42 - Absolute Beachfront & Pool at Tugun!

Welcome to Crystal Beach — a bright and airy absolute beachfront apartment perfectly positioned in Tugun. Set across two spacious levels, this relaxed coastal retreat offers direct beach access, ocean views from every room, and two private balconies where you can unwind to the soothing sound of the waves.

Located on the top two floors of a four-storey walk-up complex, Crystal Beach is ideal for guests wanting to experience laid-back absolute beachfront living in one of the Southern Gold Coast’s most sought-after locations.

Light-filled interiors, refreshing sea breezes and open-plan living spaces create a welcoming atmosphere, perfect for relaxing after a day spent at the beach. The lower level features a private sitting room, fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, and spacious living and dining areas flowing seamlessly onto a covered balcony — ideal for outdoor dining or enjoying your morning coffee overlooking the ocean.

Upstairs, both bedrooms provide a peaceful coastal retreat:
* Main bedroom with queen bed, ensuite and private balcony overlooking the resort-style pool and stunning ocean views
* Second bedroom with two single beds
* Full-sized bathroom / laundry with shower over bath and a washing machine (please note there is no dryer)
* Separate toilet for added convenience

Guests can also enjoy access to the resort-style swimming pool and spa, all just steps from the golden sands of Tugun Beach — with no roads to cross between you and the beach, making it an ideal choice for families.

Crystal Beach also offers secure parking for one vehicle.

During the winter migration season, you may even spot whales passing by from the comfort of your balcony. Whether you’re surfing, swimming, fishing or simply unwinding by the ocean, Crystal Beach offers the perfect beachfront escape for families, couples and retirees alike.

Bed Bugs

The location of the property was amazing! As for the apartment it self it needs a good clean and a face lift! My poor girls were bitten by bed bugs, you could literally see them crawling around, the mattresses. It became a very unpleasant stay!

Hi Liz, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we are glad you loved the absolute beachfront location of Crystal Beach. Following your advice on departure of your children having bites on them, we arranged for the mattresses to be professionally cleaned and treated, and the linen commercially laundered and treated. Neither the cleaner, nor the mattress cleaner found any evidence of bed-bugs. We also arranged for an inspection by a licenced pest control company who found no evidence of bed bugs, however completed a treatment as a pre-cautionary measure. Again, we are sorry to hear your girls were bitten (perhaps by midgies or mozzies) however we have taken all precautions to confirm that there are no bed bugs at this property. Kind regards, GCHH

Disappointing

Crystal Beach 42. Very worn, dated and in great need for an overhaul. Privacy screens rusted from elements so shutting and opening a "hold ya breath" situation. No plugs for sinks. Metal surrounds on sliding window detached so extremely hesitant to open for air flow. 2 seater lounge for a 3 bedroom apartment didnt quite cut it. Location amazing. Amazing views. Residence very friendly. Property management promised a representative would visit with plugs .. 5 day stay .. never came.

Hi Sarah Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We are sorry to hear that there were some inconveniences during your stay at Crystal Beach 42 and we will certainly pass your feedback on to the owners for their consideration. As mentioned on departure, our team member did attend during your stay, however none of the kitchen plugs we had available were the right fit for the sink. We were unfortunately unable to source a plug of the right size during the 5 days and we apologise for this. We hope you had an enjoyable time nonetheless and made the most out of the beautiful location. Kindest regards, Gold Coast Holiday Homes

Location on beachfront was great, however unit was not clean, thick layer of dust on everything, empty milk carton left on coffee table, hair in grate in shower & under bin liner the bin was dirty & smelly. Looked like no cleaning had been done between the last people leaving & us arriving.

Zero hospitality

Having to rent bed linen & towels, told to bring own dish liquid etc - for a one week stay. Nothing in the pantry except a small amount of dubious olive oil. No a/c or ceiling fans. 2 portable fans worked - one had to have its spokes bent into position. Unimpressed.

Amazing family stay

Couldn’t be happier with our stay. The unit is perfectly located right on the beach and catches the sea breezes from all directions which made the December stay surprisingly comfortable. Awesome pool and heated spa below which the kids loved, and the bike track out front made afternoon rides a delight. The complex (at least at Christmas) had a really laid back family feel which we and the kids loved. Already booked for next year!

Absolute Beachfront

Perfect location at a great price. We loved our stay at Crystal Beach Apartments with a pool and spa along with direct access to the beach. No need for fans or air-conditioning as the constant sea breeze was amazing.

fantastic value!

We really enjoyed everything about this apartment building, location was brilliant (absolute beach front), facilities in the apartment met all of our needs, heated pool and jacuzzi was brilliant and balconies to enjoy sunset or breakfast was worth a million dollars. Definitely would stay again. The only issue we had was the bed, could've been a little bigger (only a double).
