Beachfront vacation rentals in Island Beach

We had a great experience staying right on the beach and experiencing the local penguin colony.

This cottage was so charming and unique, a great place to stay whilst visiting the island. Walkable to shops, ferry and beach, beautiful location, and we loved the interior courtyard. Thanks!

What a lovely beach house, you feel at home straight away. Kitchen well equipped, large deck for relaxing. Private and peaceful, only a couple minutes walk the beach. If you get up early enough you will be treated to beautiful sunrises whilst sipping your morning coffee. You might even get a visit from a kangaroo or two. A number of choices to stay at KI but we definitely picked the right one!

This place is very beautyful to stay. We would like to come again.

This is truly an amazing escape - no neighbours, no noise, just a beautiful home in a serene location. The sunsets are PERFECT, wildlife and if you are lucky go to the beach in the morning and watch the dolphins only a few metres from shore. If you want the escape to recharge and relax this is it.

What a gem! This cute Victorian cottage is modern and comfortable inside. We loved the location as Brownlow is close to the Kingscote shops and restaurants yet on a quiet typical inner beach; weedy but great for dog walking. Lovely hosts, Sabine and Kevin. Thanks.

Fantastic views and lots of space to spend out with multi generational family. Accessible beach and pier for fishing - we caught our dinner one night. Fun to watch the 3 resident Koalas in trees across the street and local kangaroos in surrounding yards.

Plenty of space in this house - large bedrooms and tv in main room. Missed not having electric blankets or a dishwasher but the house stay warm enough with the heater in the ceiling of the main room. Interesting how both the main bathroom and ensuite were at the same end of the house. A secure backyard if we had taken our dogs with us. No beach view but lovely to see/hear a variety of birds.

Lovely area, lots for the kids to do and safe. Close to the beach and a lovely walk along the beach to the Life Saving Club. House was nice but provisions in the kitchen very basic. We had a lovely weekend.

Perfect stay for the family! Villa was so nice and extremely clean, village in which it’s located was great for the kids. We all had a great time, would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay! Spacious and great location with good facilities for the kids, including pool and playground and plenty of open space for running, playing and scooting

We loved our stay here, the communal areas on site are amazing and perfect for kids. The place was clean and the beds were very comfy!

Our third stay at Doyle's, and each time it feels like a home away from home. Beautiful surroundings, peaceful bush noises, modern amenities - this place has it all! So much space and plenty for everyone to do! The Starlink internet is SUPERFAST!! Thanks for that upgrade lol Special mention to Craig and Rachael, the wonderful custodians. They always go above and beyond to make sure we have everything we need. This time they wrote a beautiful card for us that really touched our hearts! ❤️❤️❤️

Great location within the resort being private but not far from pool. Easy walk along the beach to Normanville.

A beautiful home with incredible views. We felt completely at home from the minute we arrived, thanks to Liz’s attention to detail. The home was beautifully presented and furnished, spotlessly clean and extremely well provisioned. We really could not fault it. Dolphins visited daily as we enjoyed happy hour and sunsets from the balcony.

We had 6 days here on Kangaroo Island and it was a great base. The house itself is well setup and has a great covered balcony with dining table and decent Weber Q BBQ. It is convenient to Kingscote which has a well stoked Drakes (supermarket) but nicely out of town so it is quiet and peaceful and had amazing night sky views when there was no cloud. Air conditioning unit upstairs was nice to cool the upstairs down and get out of the heat! It is very close to the beach but note it is not a good swimming beach - it is extremely shallow and very muddy; best at low tide but still not ideal! However there is a tidal pool in Kingscote 3-4mins drive down the road, or 20-25mins walk for those wanting to swim or cool down! We had a great stay, thanks.

Luke's place is in a prime location directly opposite the park and a couple of hundred steps to the beach. It is a very well stocked Airbnb with clear instructions from Luke. It was an easy place to keep clean, a great balcony and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would love to come back one day when we're in the area. 5 stars.

A beautiful, well kept place for a family holiday. Sarah is a great host with fantastic communication. We will be back!

Stayed for seven days and it is a really lovely place with fabulous sea views. The house was well stocked and very comfortable. Emu Bay has no shops, so you need to get everything from Kingscote. No restaurants either so if you want to dine out it will have to be somewhere else. We very much enjoyed our stay in this house making daily trips to all the things to see and experience on the island.

Not only is Kangaroo island beyond my expectations as a destination for beauty and wildlife, the island beach retreat is exactly what I was hoping for; a rustic beach house in the dunes, surrounded by wildlife and under the soothing sounds of the ocean waves. Loved it.

Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home, right off the ferry at such short notice. The spot is absolutely beautiful and super convenient. We could’ve have asked for a better stay. You’re home suited our families so perfectly, there was much space and incredibly breath taking views. Thank you so so much Les!

Fantastic location, close to many attractions. Well appointed house with everything we needed. Couldn’t have asked for me. Highly recommend staying here.
