Beach house vacation rentals in Bay Of Islands

We really enjoyed our stay here - the house was great for our family. There was everything we needed, plus lots of other little things you don’t realise you need until you need them! The house is in a great spot - it was really quiet and in easy walking distance to the beach. Mark and Leone are such great hosts - so kind, helpful, and very responsive. They were there in a flash when we messaged to say we were missing something. Thanks again for a really great few days!

A really wonderful place to stay, thank you Shona. We loved it 🥰

Blown away by location and beautifully presented home, complete with all the bells and whisltes. Loved that we had access to plenty of beach toys, games and books. Did not need a thing. Felt right at home after travelling 800kms. Perfect size for a big whanau who love the beach. The sunrises and sunsets are stunning.

We've just had a lovely 3 night stay with our 2 kids and are already talking about possibly coming back next summer! The house is right on the water (but fully fenced which was great with 2 young girls) and had everything we needed for a lovely relaxing few days away from home. We took the kayaks out a couple of times which our girls loved, and made the most of having a spa on site as well! Really comfortable beds and loved that there was a bedroom for each of the girls. Kitchen had everything we needed, even a box of chocolates for us to enjoy during our stay :-) The girls especially loved the kind gift Lyndsay gave them when we arrived! Thanks again for your amazing hospitality and we hope to see you again!

Pristine, on the water, perfect location for my visit, quiet neighborhood, what more could I ask for? Just a lovely and comfortable execution of a vacation home. Couldn't recommend it more highly. Thank You Christine!

We had a wonderful stay at Staffa Bay! A beautiful place to be able to holiday at and we thoroughly enjoyed the home and easy access to the beach. Nice view and peaceful spot! Hosts were great with their communication and very helpful in making sure our stay was a good time.

Had a lovely stay at Andrea's place, beautiful location and super convenient if you will be taking the car ferry! Loved all of the windows, and also the helpful amenities like coffee, a spot of milk, and filtered water.

Was an awesome place to stay, beautiful views, super clean and Sarah was really easy to get hold of. Would definitely stay againn

Amazing, spacious and absolutely spotless accommodation with sea view! We’d come back anytime. Totally recommendable!

This home is awesome, so close to everything and has everything you need. Unfortunately, the pool heating wasn't playing ball but we were able to take advantage of the spa.

We had a great stay at Christinne’s place… she was very helpful, gave us some great recommendations and the accommodation was perfect! Very clean, very spacious and an amazing location. 10/10 will come again

Highly recommend this fabulous place, clean, quiet and easy walking into town. Accommodation is well suited for 8 visitors. Loved the three bathrooms, plenty of towels and easy to book and use the shared facilities, pool, spa and bbq. Thank you Olivia, we will definitely be back.

We loved this Ruakaka holiday home. It was so warm and homely with a perfect layout, super clean, comfy beds and we loved the set up of the garage. Even though the weather wasn't great, we jumped in the pool. This place would be so epic in summer. Sarah was the perfect host, super responsive.

Ideal for our group of golfing guys looking for a comfortable house with individual beds and close to all local amenities. Awesome outdoor area to have an end of day catchup before walking into Paihia for dinner. The next time we head north we will want to stay here again.

The house was immaculate. It was clean, lots of photos of their family, well maintained, and the host was very nice. Because we booked uring easter, there were little easter treats that we found the next day. Their cat Henry is the most friendliest cat we've ever seen and he's gorgeous too. They've got a beautiful house and it's very well maintained. Host was super considerate and helpful. Would definitely recommend staying here!!!

Stunning location with a spectacular view. House was comfortable and coped very well with our group of 7, however the upstairs bedrooms need to be shared by a family as access to the bathroom was through the other bedroom. Road up to house very tricky and probably better attempted with a 4 wheel drive. We had a great week and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Spectacular views. Long beach walks within a stone’s throw. Sun all day on the veranda & beautiful sunsets!

"We had the pleasure of staying at Jessica's house for the second time, and it was just as wonderful as our first visit! The property is clean, beautifully maintained, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Fantastic place. Very well placed for the beaches and only a short drive into Mangonui for restaurants. Very comfortable beds, beautiful bathrooms. Highly recommended.

Robyn's place is an amazing home away from home - except with better views and better wildlife! The beach is a 5 min walk away and is amazing for those that love the sand and sea. Robyn's a great communicator, we knew exactly what to expect and felt very welcome to enjoy the experience. Peaceful and total break from city life :)

Amazing location with stunning ocean views from every room. The set-up was more spacious than the pictures let on, we were delightfully surprised. Extremely responsive host who went the extra mile to make our honeymoon a wonderful experience. Would stay again!

Awesome place to stay, right by the water. Thank you very much.

A nice spacious bach with plenty of room for the kids. It has most of the mod-cons you'd expect, but also retains the "Bach" feeling very well. It's in a great location, with the boat ramp very close by, and beautiful coast/beaches within an easy walk. Harvey was great to deal with, and very responsive.
