Fantastic Location next to the beach:

The Artists' Beach House is set on a spacious property, fronting onto a quiet crescent, over looking over towering grove of bamboo, giving it a secluded, private and serene feel. The property backs onto a creek (where the kids can fish). The view from the house looks to paperbark trees filled with birdlife and butterflies. The Beach House sides onto a direct beach path to Fourmile Beach, only 100 meters away. The path leads to a more private part of the beach, away from the crowds.

The Artists' Beach House is situated in the exclusive Solander area of Port Douglas, a few minutes drive (or local bus) from the main street and marina. You can also walk to town via a beautiful stroll down Fourmile Beach. Also a few minutes walk away are both casual and fine dining restaurants and bars (including the fantastic QT bar). With in 10 minutes walk are 2 championship golf courses, and The Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary. Five minutes walk away is the Moonlight Cinema. Watch the latest movies under the stars!

Port Douglas offers something for everyone. The balmy tropical climate year around keeps visitors coming back again and again. The distinctive laid back atmosphere, the breathtaking beauty of the scenery, morning strolls along palm-fringed Four Mile Beach, world championship golf courses, the marina, five star restaurants, local artist's galleries, boutique designer stores finished off with relaxing moments in the sidewalk cafes. Port Douglas is a wonderful, relaxed and safe family holiday.

The Farmer's Market every Sunday is a wonderful mix of arts, crafts and local produce. There are amazing experiences diving spectacular Great Barrier Reef that can not be missed. Try a refreshing swim in the crystal clear waters of Mossman Gorge, or Spring Creek to revitalise the soul. Go sailing, spend a day lazing on the many (most empty) beaches. Laze the day away on nearby Low Isles. Hike scenic trails to Cape Tribulation where tropical rainforest and coral reef meet. The area is unique, a rainforest that has been in existence for more than 120 million years and contains some plant and animal species not seen anywhere else in the world. Take a cruise up river and come face to face with large crocodiles and pythons in their natural habitat from the comfort and safety of a cruise boat... Or just spend quiet days lazing about in the Port Douglas Artist's Beach House.

Artist’s house
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Port Douglas. It was great to have a pool in the back yard. It was large house that catered to our large family. It was great to have the privacy of trees and yet only have a 5 minute walk to the beach. It was lovely to have the beds already made up and to have both beach towels and bath towels. The lounge rooms were very spacious so we had plenty of room to move.

Inspiring Accomodation
A curious collection of artworks, furniture and furnishings made this stay so memorable. Great location with easy stroll to the beach and lovely pool. House is set up so everyone has space; ideal for our large family. Owner’s Matt and Tina super obliging... Highly recommended.

Host profile image
We spend half our life in Port Douglas, and half our life traveling the world. - We travel the world staying in holiday rentals, so we know what makes a great holiday rental, so you will love to stay in our abodes. I am an artist. My husband, Matthew Wild is a chef. Our son, Pablo Wild is ten and sees the world as his home. Our bab who is 3, Hugo is loving the adventures. We travel a lot, but when we are not, we live between Beautiful Port Douglas, Wonga Beach and Amazing Berlin. Come and stay in our charming homes oozing art, soul and creative vibes. Our homes are created with love, lots of hard work, and a passion of collecting and creating. We search the world for items we love. As much as possible, we recycle building materials, and upcycle furniture. Our houses aren't fussy or pretentious, but they are all about charming you, making you feel great, and celebrating the creative spirit.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property in 2012, it was a lonely 1960's bach shack that no one had loved for a very long time, and we put the love back into it over a wonderful year. The house is filled full of upcycled wood, furniture and windows to make it the ultimate tropical house

What makes this property unique

The house captures the light and sea breeze beautifully which is so important in the tropics. It looks over a creek and towering, centuries old paperbark and rainforest trees - what a beautiful view! Its on the beach path, is filled with art and good vibes, is spacious and very special.
