All The Vitamin Sea You'll Ever Need | Ocean views from every level | Private lift | Triple garage
Imagine your perfect morning here. The sun rises straight out of the ocean and the first light floods in to greet the house. Wake to the rumble of waves and wide ocean views, then enjoy a coffee on the terrace while you watch humpbacks play offshore as they journey south with their calves—a breach, a tail slap, and another. Next it's just a short stroll down for a swim between the flags while the beach is still quiet, a walk along the boardwalk, then breakfast with family or friends at your favourite local cafe, salt still in your hair. By the time most people are reaching for their car keys, your perfect morning is in full swing.
That is exactly the rhythm this address was made for. It's ideal for people who want a coastal home that gives them everything when they arrive and asks nothing of them when they leave.
Inspirational, aspirational and generational to hold.
The name says it all. From each of its three levels, Whale View looks out across the sparkling Coral Sea, and from June to November the whales form part of your daily life. Watch from your own spacious terrace with a coffee in hand, then maybe something colder and stronger as the afternoon warms up, then in the evening the sea breeze moves through the house, and at night the only sound is the surf, singing you to sleep.
Proudly perched high on Coolum Terrace, a short beachside street just footsteps from the sand, Whale View has the scale of a very substantial home — at approximately 390 square metres — with the ease and convenience of a lock-up-and-leave holiday home. It really is the best of both worlds. Three huge bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, an enormous media or 4th bedroom on the ground floor, plus a dedicated office zone if you need to spend some time at the desk. There are plenty of options offering peace & privacy for owners & guests to relax and enjoy this unique and totally irreplaceable setting.
Step inside from your tranquil courtyard garden and the architecturally inspired staircase is an inviting choice to climb and enjoy the view, but if you're tired after your morning at the beach, then your private lift to each level may be your choice. It is also what makes this a home to enjoy for life: the same lift that is a convenience today is the reason you are still here in a decade or two.
At the heart of the home, the open-plan living and kitchen is where Whale View truly comes alive: wide glass doors and walls of windows bring the ocean home, so the view is the first thing you see as you walk in and the last thing you look at before bed. The kitchen is made for beachside relaxed gathering too. Spacious and perfectly laid out to make the most of long lunches that drift into evening drinks…
Future-proof bonuses include a triple garage to take the cars, the boat, the toys and every piece of beach gear the family brings with them. Ducted air conditioning and a vast solar power system keep it comfortable and efficient whether you are in residence or away.
And yes, your four-legged best friend comes too. Whale View is a dog-friendly home, and Coolum Beach has its own off-leash dog beach at the northern end, where dogs can run free at any time of day. A morning swim for you, a morning sprint along the sand for them.
In essence, Whale View works at every stage of life. For the holiday seekers, it is a true and rare spacious weekender that can become a permanent move without changing a thing. For downsizers, it keeps the space you are used to and loses the constant maintenance, the upkeep and even the stairs. For locals, it is the step onto the beachfront you have been waiting for... And we believe that for every owner it will become your family's place by the sea: the Christmas house, the school-holiday house, the place your children come home to and where the grandchildren play.
If you desire a home that is remembered and cherished, and where lifelong memories are made, this is it!
Opportunities like this rarely come to market. Coolum Terrace is a short beachside street, and very few homes on it combine this scale, ocean views from every level, a private lift and a triple garage. When one does appear, it is likely to stay in the same family for generations.
Then there is the value. Copy and paste this home into Noosa or Sunshine Beach, and you would be paying so much more for it. Coolum still offers you beachfront living at a current value that is hard to replicate. This gap and the ever-increasing scarcity combine to create an opportunity that is closing fast! Don't delay on this one.

DID YOU KNOW?
- Humpback whales pass the Sunshine Coast each year from around June to November, heading north to calve and returning south with their young through spring. That view of them from home is where Whale View gets its name
- Coolum Beach sits within the Sunshine Coast Council area, not Noosa Shire. Planning and short-stay letting rules differ between the two councils.
- The name Coolum comes from the Kabi Kabi word "gulum" or "kulum", meaning blunt or headless, a reference to the flat-topped shape of Mount Coolum. Its 208-metre summit is a short walk-and-climb from home and one of the best sunrise lookouts on the Sunshine Coast
- Sunshine Coast Airport is a short drive away, with direct flights to Sydney and Melbourne, so interstate family and friends are easy to host.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Is Coolum Beach in Noosa Shire?
No. Coolum Beach is in the Sunshine Coast Council area, with Noosa Shire beginning a short drive to the north. Planning and short-stay letting rules differ between the two councils, so if holiday letting matters to you, ask Andrew for the current position before you buy.
When can you see whales from Coolum Beach?
Humpback whales pass the Sunshine Coast from around June to November, heading north in early winter and returning south with their calves through spring. From Whale View, they can be watched from every level of the home.
Is Coolum Beach patrolled?
Yes. Sunshine Coast Council lists Coolum Beach as patrolled all year round, and the Coolum Beach Surf Life Saving Club sits right on the beachfront. Always swim between the flags.
Is Coolum Beach dog-friendly?
Yes. Coolum Beach has an off-leash dog area at the northern end of the beach, around Stumers Creek, where dogs can be off-leash at all times. Keep dogs on-leash near car parks and check council signage for current boundaries.
Is Whale View dog-friendly?
Yes. Whale View is a dog-friendly home. As it is part of a small body corporate, keeping a dog may be subject to body corporate approval, so ask Andrew for the details of the current by-laws.
