Accom Caloundra

Accom Caloundra manages holiday rentals across Caloundra, from houses with enclosed yards to beachside apartments, with a designated pets-welcome subset rather than a blanket dog policy. The trick is booking a property that is specifically listed as pet friendly and reading that listing's rules, because they vary house by house.

Dogs at Accom Caloundra

Dogs only, no other animals, and only in properties advertised as pets welcome. Individual listings generally cap it at one or two dogs, and many properties allow the dog inside provided it stays completely off beds, couches and other furnishings. You are expected to clean up all waste from the yard and grounds before departure, and extra charges apply against your bond if the stay needs additional cleaning, whether that is pet hair on furniture, mess in the garden or damage. There is no flat published pet fee across the portfolio, so confirm the rules, dog limit and any charges for your specific property when booking.

Max: book the pet-friendly listing directly and ask the manager to confirm the dog rules in writing. Two minutes on the phone beats arguing about hair on the couch at check-out.

The place

Expect self-contained houses and apartments spread across Bulcock Beach, Kings Beach, Golden Beach and Moffat Beach rather than one complex. The houses are the draw for dog owners, often with enclosed yards, while apartments suit couples travelling light. Most sit within walking distance of beaches, the coastal walkway and cafes, and addresses come with your booking confirmation since the properties are scattered.

Getting there

Caloundra is at the southern end of the Sunshine Coast, about an hour from Brisbane via the Bruce Highway and Caloundra Road. Pet-friendly houses usually have private parking; apartment parking varies by complex.

While you're out there

Kings Beach is dog free, but Currimundi Beach's off-leash access points are a short drive north for a proper run, and Ridgehaven Park is the fenced option when the tide or the time window is wrong. Groundskeeper Willie at Moffat Beach is the morning coffee stop.

More options are on the Queensland pet friendly stays guide and the Caloundra destination page.
