Sunshine and shade are at play in the partly covered courtyard and pared-down interiors of this contemporary home 1 minute from Sunrise Beach. Wood panels arch over the al-fresco lounge to create a respite from the sun, and louvered windows filter light as it streams onto honey-toned wood floors. Pick up coffee from trendy Hastings Street for a dawn stroll along the golden sand of Sunrise Beach.

 Spend sunny days splashing in the villa’s pool, playing on the trampoline, napping in the shaded sitting area, and tossing dinner on the barbecue to enjoy at the al-fresco dining table for six—preferably paired with an Australian bottle from the wine fridge inside. The high-tech entertainment includes a streaming TV and Wi-Fi, but there are also guitars and a library of books, games, and movies for simpler pleasures.

 The glass wall between great room and terrace folds away, giving you the luxury of one seamless indoor-outdoor living space. A cloud-like tufted sectional sets a playful tone in the living area, and there’s seating for eight around the dining table. A fully equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar at the other end of the room opens to yet another outdoor space.

 This vacation rental has one master bedroom with a king bed, private en-suite bathroom, and views of a nature reserve. The other two bedrooms each have a queen bed and share access to a hall bathroom.

 It’s a 1-minute drive or 7-minute walk from this holiday home to Sunrise Beach, whose golden shores are almost entirely surrounded by national-park land teeming with palms and koalas. And it’s a 7-minute drive to family-friendly Noosa Main Beach and Hastings Street, lined with cafés serving excellent coffee and restaurants serving honeymoon-worthy fare. Nature lovers will want to explore Noosa National Park while avid players tee off at two nearby golf courses.
