Happy to Vacay on Sunshine Coast
Incredible location and surroundings! Truly a special place. The home is beautifully decorated, but maybe not super comfortable. For example, the kitchen chairs are plastic and the sofa/chaise doesn’t have a real back, just pillows that slide off. The guests before us put dirty dishes back in the cupboards and broke a blind. Given that there is not AC, could have used some shade from the hot sun during the afternoons. Beautiful sand beach through a train on the property and the most comfortable duvet ever.

Perfect little getaway studio!
We really enjoyed our stay in this studio! It was just what we needed for a little vacation. The views of the ocean was great, and the short walk down too! It’s a hidden gem with easy to access to highways to travel and explore the rest of the coast! And very happy our little pup was able to travel with us!!

Great Halfmoon Bay Getaway!
Every fall we head to the Sunshine Coast for a little break from the business of city life - this stay did not disappoint! We had several slow mornings with coffee, watched the stars from the hot tub, enjoyed a family movie night in the loft and endlessly explored the beach and beautiful trails around the area. The cabin is private an quiet, it worked well with two adults and our 12-year old, we hope to come back!

Quiet Retreat in Halfmoon Bay
The location is surrounded by forest, very private and extremely quiet. The private hot tub was great! The studio exceeded our expectations, and it just as nice in person as it is in the photos. We would definitely stay again!

The location is great, easy to access, nice interior, and well-equipped. Only downside is the lack of coffee for enjoying a morning cup with the beautiful view

A dream escape!
Words cannot even express what a wonderful little dream escape this place was for us. It's modern and clean and embedded perfectly within nature. The design is beautiful. Our hosts Heather and Bob were top notch and got back to us immediately with any questions we had while we stayed. This place was so perfectly perfect that we want to make it an annual trip to get away. It was so perfect in fact, that my partner proposed while we were there! We will definitely be coming back here.

Amazing location, beautiful home
We stayed 6 nights in Studio ISO. The home is amazing! It’s a beautiful, modern, airy home with all the amenities. The setting is spectacular. Nestled in the forest, very private, with views of Sargeant Bay. I loved going to bed and waking up feeling like I was sleeping amongst the trees & stars. I highly recommend this property and I look forward to staying here again. Thank you Heather & Bob for sharing your beautiful home.

What a lovely weekend
Such a lovely weekend away, the house is just stunning! Heads up there’s no AC and we couldn’t find a switch for the ceiling fan but the trees keep it shady! I would most definitely stay there again, they had everything we needed for a blissful weekend!

Relaxing and Idyllic
This was a great property with beautiful surroundings, perfect to just unwind and relax. Heather and Bob were flexible and accommodating. It's a very bright place without much in the way of window coverings, so if you're a late sleeper, you may want a mask. And the upper loft is accessed by a ladder, so you'd want a bit of agility to go up there. As a "pro tip", the TV is up in the loft, so if you want to watch things on the main floor, bring a laptop and/or monitor (that's what we did) - or just enjoy the nature. We loved it, and would stay again!

Wonderfully relaxing getaway
Exactly as described. Modern, clean and they’ve thought of everything you’d need. We stayed 4 nts and that was perfect. We explored the nearby beaches and communities. Perfect little home base. Hot tub was fantastic. The heated floors in the bathroom were a really nice touch. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Everything you need for a great getaway
Just got back from a wonderful stay at Studio ISO. What an awesome place! Everything you need for the perfect getaway has been thought of and well organized. The Studio is so peaceful and the proximity to Sargent Bay is excellent. A short walk and you’re at the water. We enjoyed beach time at Sargent Bay and used the well equipped kitchen at the Studio to make some great meals (perfect for us foodies!). Charging our EV was right outside the Studio which we appreciated. Heather was fast to respond to any questions and the rental process was very easy. The only suggestion we have would be the addition of some blinds for the windows. The daylight they add is amazing and we really loved all the windows but when the sun comes up you know it! We would highly recommend and look forward to returning in the future.
