SANDY SHORES @ Henley Absolute Beach Front
Very accommodating and great location.

Renovated apt with ocean views
Lucy's space was homely, cozy and spotless. Check-in was straightforward and we instantly felt right at home the moment we got in. The unit has everything we needed, and Lucy was always responsive in times where we needed help. The only downside is the noise from the cars on the road in the late evening as the building is located next to it. It can get quite loud but manageable as cars got fewer into the night. Overall a very very pleasant and comforable stay, i will come back if i return to Adelaide!

Brighton Beachfront Sanctuary
Wonderful. Stylish, clean but comfortable and very well equipped. That location is everything we had hoped it would be and more - Wow! Wouldn’t hesitate to go back and recommend to others.

La Bella Vita Beach Front Apartment
We loved our stay at Joes . Gorgeous space, perfect location across the road from stunning west beach. Joe was super attentive and a great host. Highly recommend to those who want a beach escape in a quiet spot but close to Glenelg and Henley Beach if you want a bit more action. Thanks Joe

1 BR Oceanview - Glenelg South
Lovely place for a holiday. Wish we could have stayed longer.

'Seaside' at West Beach
There are no words. Amazing value for money. Right on the beach front. The interior design is exceptional. Close to cafes. Amazing sunsets. Couldn’t have anticipated just how amazing this place is and couldn’t recommend more. Thank you Janine & Andrew. I’ll definitely be back!

Breathtaking Oceanview escape in beachside Glenelg
Stunning location. A perfect spot to stroll across the road for a swim. Sunsets are a delight. The apartment is set up so both bedrooms and lounge look straight out to sea. Extra little provisions were appreciated. All in all, a wonderful find for our 4 night stay in Adelaide.

Grange Beach Apartment
Terry, met us at the apartment and made us feel very welcome. The photos do not do it justice. Beautiful home with all the little touches you don’t expect. Location is ideal. Highly recommended.

La Brisa - Waterfront Family Home, Beach, WiFi
This was my second stay and I absolutely love the place. The house is great, view is amazing. The host is amazing. Will definitely be staying again

Sunset Sands on Esplanade | By Host Solutions
Charlton was a great host, he was really responsive and gave us clear instructions for everything we needed. The house is exactly as described, it is clean, spacious, well-furnished, the kitchen is well stocked as it is in an amazing location. Check-in and check-out was so straight forward. We would love to stay here again.

Endless Summer at Seacliff
We had an amazing time at Jo's house. Jo has thought of everything needed for a home away from home. House was spotless and well stocked with condiments, tea, coffee and every cooking item you'll ever need. Pool and covered outdoor area, with gas BBQ was great. Lovely position on the esplanade, coffee shops, pubs and playgrounds in walking distance. Supermarkets short drive away. Our family of 7 adults and 2 children (3 & 5) had ample space and bedrooms, with tvs and games provided. Lovely welcome pack and early and late check in were offered. I certainly recommend Jo's place and hope to return. Thanks so much Jo for helping make our family 60th birthday and 35th wedding anniversary holiday amazing.

Hallett Cove Sunset View Getaway
We had a fantastic stay! The house is super clean, very well equipped, and perfect for families with kids. There are heaps of toys and board games that kept the little ones entertained for hours. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need, which made cooking easy and enjoyable. The backyard is spacious, great for the kids to run around, and the fire pit area is a brilliant spot to relax in the evenings. We also loved sitting on the cosy sea-front terrace, watching the stunning sunset. Highly recommend — we’d definitely come back!

Henley’s Treasure—Experience Opulence on the Ocean
The house is a dream vacation home! We are 2 families of 5 adults and 6 young children and Janet and Marcus accommodated out needs! Including having lots of toys to entertain the kids. The house is lovely and welcoming! Utensils are comprehensive and we spent alot of time indoors enjoying the house. Way more than we have expected when we first booked the place. Kids loved the proximity to the beach (ramp down to beach is just in front of the house across a small road) and the table tennis table available. There are lots of additional unexpected stuff for us to use! Sand toys, buckets, , beach chairs, kayaks, skate scooters, toys for kids to play indoors. Waking up to a cup of coffee made by jura is a super bonus! This is a really superb home stay and we r so blessed to have been able to enjoy our holidays in it!

Juniper | Designer Beachfront Semaphore
I hesitate to do this review because I want this gorgeous small home to be available every time I am in Adelaide! We stay in many AirB's and this has become an absolute favourite. Elle was fantastic to deal with and kind enough to allow us to arrive early after a hospital stay. Having the beach so close and a short 15 minute walk to the closest cafes added to the appeal. We will definitely be back!

Mayflower |Magical Sunsets ·Feels Like Home
Absolutely stunning property and the sunsets are out of this world. Highly recommend staying here if your looking to be south of Adelaide 10/10

Seacliff Beach Retreat; Lux, Modern, Seaviews, 3BR
It’s truly been a paradise for any group of people! Jody and Linda are incredibly warm-hearted, easy to communicate with, and always willing to give you a hand if you need anything. The resort feels like a dream home - complete with fun card games and a ping pong table that’s always ready. I felt completely at home and have enjoyed every second of my stay hereeee🥰🥰🥰
Waterfront condo rentals

Luxury beachfront apartment
The house had everything and more than what you would have in your own home. The fridge included cheese and ham with crossiants on arrival. Kitchen was well stocked and it was great we didn’t have to rush out and get the basics straight away.

Bay Breeze Retreat Glenelg - ocean views!
Natalie's place was really gorgeous and exactly as described. My best friend and I had a lovely time there and would return again! We were also provided breakfast and some snacks which was really thoughtful and a nice touch!

Pier 108 Glenelg
Darren’s apartment is perfect for a summer getaway. Amazing view of the beach & great outdoor furniture. Darren is very helpful. Highly recommend this place.

Breath-taking beachfront luxury apartment
Danielle’s place exceeded all expectations—it was even better than the photos! We initially booked for 3 nights but loved it so much, we extended our stay by 2 more. The unit is literally beachfront; you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves. It’s in a perfect, walkable location with easy access to everything. We took the tram from Jetty Road in Glenelg to the Adelaide CBD almost daily and joined wine tours that picked us up right in Glenelg. Danielle thoughtfully provided milk and coffee, and the espresso machine was a great touch. She was also very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Truly one of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve had!

‘The Aquarium’ Waterfront Apartment
We really enjoyed our week and would stay again. Thankyou!
