WOW WOW WOW. Soooo happy I booked this place. We had a top floor apaprment and it didnt dissapoint. The best views imaginable. (Apartment 50). I will most certainly recommend everyone come to Airlie Beach and to stay at Water's Edge. So close to the main street and woolworths is just across the road! Pools were beautiful and the resort and rooms are well presented. Definitely do yourself a favour and stay here (high level floor) to get those spectacular views. You wont be disappointed. 10/10

We like to stay in accommodation that has a breakfast/cafe service for a coffee in the mornings without having to go out, so it would have been nice to be informed that their cafe is not currently running

Great place to take the family, with three swimming pools and great views. Great location, just a short walk to everything at Airlie Beach - main street with restaurants, lagoon, beach harbour, Woolworths across the street. Only faults is that some maintenance and furnishings need renewal - sofa seating collapsed, outdoor seating at end of life, noisy exhaust fan in ensuite.

Comfortable and spacious rooms, easy walk to town, however do aim for level 2 or above if you want/pay for an ocean view. Trees have grown to tall and obscure what otherwise a lovely view. We changed rooms due to this factor which was no trouble for staff to accomodate - made a world of difference to our 8 day stay (also our original room definitely had not been renovated as stated on the website)
