Pip and her team are wonderful. My husband and I have dealt with Sunshine Beach Real Estate for the last 25 years buying and selling two properties. We rented one property for 10 years and it was looked after beautifully. The tenants were always vetted very carefully and the property maintained in a first class way. We would not consider using any other real estate agency. The team is efficient, knowledgeable, friendly and their expertise regarding real estate is second to none.

My wife and I have purchased two properties from Sunshine Beach Real Estate - the 1st done entirely online and through various telephone and conference calls while we were in the States - and have found Pip Covell, Caitlyn McConnell, Karen Brown and the entire staff amazingly professional and efficient! We have since utilized their professional property management services and are, once again, very satisfied with the results!

Amazing personalised service. Our favourite agents on the Sunshine Coast!! Our family have had the most wonderful experience holiday renting with Sunshine Beach Real Estate for over five years. Karen, Penny and the Team have always made us feel welcome and no ask is too much. We love holidays at Sunshine Beach and would not trust them to anyone else to organise. :-)

Fantastic service - with a smile! Thanks to the great team at Sunshine Beach Real Estate! Plenty of holiday rental choices & super informative friendly & helpful staff. We rented a great apartment and when we arrived fresh from the USA, the staff at SBRE made us welcome immediately! We plan to return next year and would highly recommend Sundhine Beach Real Estate to anyone!

We recently stayed in a holiday rental property and it was fantastic! The ladies (Karen & Helen) at Sunshine Beach Real Estate were amazing to deal with, nothing was too much trouble. We found the service to be prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. The property definitely exceeded expectations as well. We will definitely look to book holiday properties and even our potential purchase of a property through SBRE.
