Beachfront vacation rentals in Island Bay

Stayed a two nights in this gorgeous, peaceful and safe house. Amazing interior just like the photos. Felt right at home. Wifi was great! Janet was exceptional with any questions we had before and after the booking. Her dog was adorable, welcoming us with a hello in his language, so cute. Thank you so much for letting us stay! Home away from home, much needed! Definitely, we'll be back!

Great location across from the bay, few minutes drive to Island Bay. House is clean, modern and warm. Well stocked kitchen with all the utensils you could want. 5 stars in every category from me

My 15 months old Minerva and I throughly enjoyed our stay at Emily’s place for various reasons. We went down for one night trip for a mission with Miri to do some paperwork for my girl, and I tried to plan everything around the schedule / our routine which meant asking Emily for a favour to have a later check out so Minerva can have her nap. Emily gracefully offered us to stay as long as we could & accommodated our needs kindly and didn’t ask for an extra charge. So it’s a perfect spot for a small family to enjoy it - the location is central, easy to get everywhere without a car, just in front of the place there is a playground, Asian spa for relaxing next door, new world is 1 min walk away. There are heaps of cooking amenities so I was able to cook for my baby and I with ease and pleasure. The bed was comfortable and the bath tub was an extra bonus for sore tired mama muscles! Very grateful to find this cool cosy spot with nice art, features and beautiful generous host as Emily.

Fabulous place, comfortable beds, excellent location, great communication, would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful character home. Beautiful views, just across the road from the beach. Listing was accurate and host was lovely and helpful.

5/5 Stars - An Unforgettable Stay at Roseneath Crown! From the moment we arrived at Roseneath Crown, we were absolutely blown away. This stunning property is a true gem in Wellington, offering spectacular views of the city, harbor, and beyond from every single room. Waking up to such breathtaking scenery was a dream come true—it felt like we were living in a postcard! The space itself is spacious, immaculately clean, and beautifully designed, with so many thoughtful touches that made our stay extra special. From the cozy blankets to the well-stocked kitchen and by luxurious bathroom amenities, it’s clear that Sylvia, the host, has gone above and beyond to ensure her guests feel at home. Speaking of Sylvia, she was an absolute delight to communicate with—responsive, kind, and incredibly accommodating. We cannot recommend Roseneath Crown enough. This is the perfect place to stay. Thank you, Sylvia, for an unforgettable experience—we can’t wait to return! Highly recommend.

Good spot and I got a good shake that woke me up last night. Must be a typical Welly quake.

The Sea Glass Cottage was downright amazing. A beautiful location right along the coast. We spent most of our time on the spacious patio overlooking the water, with a second patio on the second floor also with a water view. The cottage came with every amenity you could want and was clean and tidy. Located on a quiet street with free parking close by. A short 2 minute walk to some lovely cafes and beach. Petra was super friendly and responsive. We would love to stay at the cottage again and highly recommend it.

Julie is a great host and her house is beautiful. It’s so nice looking out at the ocean from the huge living room windows and the place is very cute. There is a bit of traffic noise in the bedrooms which you wouldn’t necessarily expect given the serene location but it’s not a big deal and definitely still worth staying.

A great place for our family to meet. Lisa was helpful with adjusting our booking requirements. The kids enjoyed the grass area. Very handy to have the bakery next door and cafe just down the road

We loved our time here. Beautiful waterfront location, bountiful back garden, comfy beds, and generously equipped, for a family of 5 to have an enjoyable stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful homely apartment with the most stunning outlook! We spent so much time just viewing the comings and goings on the harbour and didn't want to leave! It was well appointed, superbly located within easy access to the CBD and having car parking was a real bonus. Giles was a very accommodating host and was readily available to answer questions. He was kind, informative and went over and above in terms of parking and providing some goodies on arrival. We would definitely recommend this lovely home and Giles to others and would love to stay again even though we live in Wellington :).

lovely light & bright house. a little road noise but felt quite secluded and a great location close to coffee and walks.

loved our few days in Eastbourne. beds were very comfortable, and the place was so clean.

This was our second stay! It is a lovely place & suits our needs very well. Chris

We had an amazing stay, beautiful property, beautiful views and so easy to check in!
