Comfortable Seaside Studio and Courtyard

Comfortable Seaside Studio and Courtyard is a self-contained studio at 14 Turner Street in Scarborough, on Queensland's Redcliffe peninsula, listed as pet-friendly on the owner's booking site and less than a kilometre from Queens Beach North. It is set up for two adults, with air conditioning and a private courtyard out the back. The pet terms are light on published detail, so the courtyard and the dog beach do the heavy lifting here.

Dogs at the studio

The listing is marked pets allowed, with no size limit or pet fee spelled out publicly. The courtyard is described as private and commonly noted as fenced, which gives your dog a contained outdoor space for toilet breaks and fresh air without heading out on-lead, but confirm with the host that the fence is secure rather than assuming. Ask about the pet fee, any size or breed limits and how many dogs are welcome before you book, since none of that is documented.

As a compact studio, this is a one-or-two-traveller stay rather than a family house: a single living space, proper air conditioning for hot peninsula summers, and your own entry. Bring your dog's bed and bowls, and check whether dogs can be left alone in the studio while you eat out.

Max: get the pet terms in writing and walk the courtyard fence line yourself on arrival. If both check out, this is an easy base.

The dog beach out front

Queens Beach North is the reason to book here with a dog. Under City of Moreton Bay rules, dogs are off-leash on the sand and in the water between the beach access stairs and the northern rock groyne along Flinders Parade, under effective control. Everything else is on-lead: south of the stairs towards the boat ramp, and on all grass, footpaths and the car park. It is an easy walk from the studio. For a fenced option, Abbett Park Reserve Fenced Dog Park is nearby, and Peasholm Dog Beach is the other local sand option.

The Landsborough Avenue cafe strip is minutes away; Drift Coffee Company and Lady Latte are the closest stops for a coffee run with the dog. This suits a solo traveller or couple with one settled dog who want a simple studio and a real off-leash beach within walking distance.
