Beach house vacation rentals in Canterbury

You want to stay here. The Sandstone Cottage has an exceptional view and an ideal location. The dwelling is well maintained, very clean and perfectly serviced. Being able to use the provided water toys and kayaks was a bonus for our kids. We found the Sandstone Cottage to be comfortable because of how familiar everything was to us, and convenient because of how the space was so sensibly laid out. There is beauty inside and outside of this house. It rocks.

A really beautiful property - recently renovated and impeccably styled. Nice and private, with a great outdoor deck. Amethyst was amazing - super helpful with a last minute booking, super responsive and made our stay great. Very grateful and had a really great time. Thank you :)

Amazing location right on the beach, waking up to the sunrise in the windows was such a beautiful experience. The instructions were very thorough, the place was a little hidden but we had no trouble to find. The little pink beach shack is definitely on the list for one of our favorite places we have stayed.

3 of us stayed here whilst attending a conference nearby. We all loved the apartment which was spacious and well stocked. We liked it so much we stayed 2 extra nights. The view of Malabar beach from the living area was lovely. I definitely recommend it - Linda was indeed a super host

Chris's place was roomy, comfortable and very well equipped, especially things for kids! We liked not having to bring anything but our clothes and food. There were even coffee beans in the coffee maker!!. Short walk to the nearest beach, and slightly longer one to cafes, shops and another beach made the location ideal. Chris made us feel welcome and was generous with extended check in and check out times. We can thoroughly recommend Jibbon Beach House.

What a fantastic location. We arrived to a spectacular sunset over the water from the balcony where we spent much of our time. The house was lovely with loads of interesting things to discover and the leafy surrounds made the house feel very private. The house and kitchen were very well equipped, we were very grateful for the basket of hats which came in handy. The location was excellent, close to town, beaches, walking tracks and the ferry. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time.

Great location, very close to the beaches and shops. Very clean and tidy. Would recommend

What an amazing property, in a gorgeous location. The house is spacious, comfortable, and well appointed. To be honest it was even better in person than what I was expecting from the photos (and the photos are accurate!). Thanks for an easy stay, wish we could have stayed longer.

We had an amazing long weekend at this beach house! It was spacious, bright, and perfect for our family to relax. The location was great and the heated pool was a highlight. The house was beautifully finished and well cared for. We left feeling refreshed and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic short stay at this house with our family. An older home that has been tastefully updated and well-considered. Not pretentious, comfortable with a focus on the breathtaking views over the Patonga township and water below. Taking cues from the adjacent bush, distant headlands and coastal views, the comprehensive interior upgrades and choices, colours and furniture are relaxed and calming, we felt at home immediately. It doesn't have a new blingy kitchen or bathroom, but it doesn't need it at all. They have been refreshed and have everything you need for cooking up a storm. The landscaping/gardens, heated pool, firepit and sauna are stunning and clearly designed by someone who knows what they are doing. Really friendly and helpful hosts We'll be back.

Lovely and spacious place, it had everything we needed for our comfortable stay with friends. Highly recommend it

Couldn't have wished for a better location, walking distance to the beach and shops. Stunning house, exactly how it had been portrayed and Samantha and Rich were very helpful and accommodating. I'd have no hesitation in returning if it was available.

Had such a beautiful peaceful stay 🙏the house was perfect and so close to the beach. Beautiful back entertainment area also. And the host was lovely and very fast msg response! I will definitely be booking again

Amazing stay! Tony was so accomodating and even allowed us to check in early and offered a later check out. The views from the home are breathtaking and although it was too cold to use the pool we made full use of the hot tub which gets heated! The location is also fantastic, there is a special walkway all the way down to the beach, and the coffee shops are only a few minutes drive. Great stay, thank you so much!

Great place. Dom was very kind with great communication skills. He managed to accommodate the place for an early checkin which was great. Love the place, thank you Dom

Breathtaking views whilst still being private. Need to come back for a while longer to soak it all in.

My friends and I had the most amazing time here! The views were incredible, with a unique & peaceful vantage point to see the view from. The house was perfect for a big group, well equipped & in a great location to Newport itself. Sue was very responsive & super helpful. I would highly recommend staying here!

Everything was well set out and very comfortable. The furnishings were very comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and modern. The beds were just right and bathrooms were also modern and spacious. It’s in a beautiful location across from a park and very near the beach. Highly recommend.

We had a great stay. The house is very spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped. It is very quiet. We enjoyed sitting outside looking up at the plants in the terraced garden. We would certainly hope to return. Thank you, Angela.

We had a great two week stay. The home is well set up and it was perfect for two families. Excellent location, just a block or two from the beach. Carport is also extremely beneficial as street parking can be tricky. The host, Stuart, has very responsive and helpful. The patio areas are a great amenity and we enjoyed the BBQ grill. We would absolutely stay again if we were back in the area.

Fantastic location for us to explore Bundeena and the Royal National Park. A short walk up the beach for coffee, and a really well equipped kitchen for the rest of our meals. The front deck with ocean views was amazing. Thanks for having us Fraser. We really enjoyed our holiday.

Stephen’s place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. It’s a simple setup, but had everything we needed for a short stay including comfortable beds. Communication was easy and check-in was smooth. A good option if you’re after something that is not luxurious but is bright and cheerful and well-kept. Would stay here again.

Really enjoyed our stay at Ryan’s. It’s a beautiful and peaceful accommodation. The natural light adds to the experience and makes the place even more special. The bed was super comfortable and I really enjoyed Sheridan sheets and towels (they are fab!). The kitchen setup is simple but very functional, and with all the food options around, it didn’t really matter we couldn’t cook. You can still enjoy snacks and all that, plus Ryan left us milk and cereal to have in case we needed it, very nice touch. The lounge room is really well done too. The bathroom is spacious and has plenty of natural light all day. I’d definitely come back again ☺️

This house was just perfect for our girlie stay in Manly. Great location on a quiet street, with a short walk to the beachfront, or to Manly Corso or to the ferry wharf for a trip into the city. The house itself was lovely, with every thing we needed for a comfortable stay. We had an issue with the hot water on the first day of our stay - but this was fixed promptly for us. Good communication and response to our request. Would thoroughly recommend this house to other guests looking to stay in Manly.
