Beachfront vacation rentals in Melbourne

A recently refurbished property. Spacious enough for two. Excellent location for the beach and nearby restaurants and bars. There is a major road outside that gets busy early each day. Highly recommended, great value for money.

Charlie’s place was clean and comfortable to stay in. His fast responses and clear instructions were greatly appreciated and made communication very easy. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

Wonderful location to stay in! We had a car and the private parking space in the gated area was perfect. We also took public transportation and the tram was a short walk. We did so much on our week long stay, and after a full day of activities it was great to come back to our place. The bathrooms were great, instant hot water with no wait! The beach is just a block or two away, and we gathered a lot of shells to collect, there were millions on the shore! We had a full week including a few day trips. South Melbourne Market and Prahran market were wonderful markets. We drove out to Yarra Valley and did a U Pick fruit tour, we did a small walk at Rainforest Gallery, we did a Funky Farm tour(so cool!), and we even saw the Penguin Parade which is a must do! Some details, what worked best for us was parking the car and then using the key card to go through the passenger gate to get in/out of the front door. There is also a small remote to unlock open/close the car gate. Thanks Gemma!!

We had a great stay at the apartment. it is close to public transport with different tram options, supermarket, and a 20 min walk to St Kilda Beach and Acland Street. there are lots of local restaurant options, bars and the roof top salt chlorinated pool is an added bonus with sensational views towards the sea, over Albert Park and towards the city. Simon is a great host -friendly, with easy communication. The apartment is clean and well equipped. While it is on a busy road, it has double glazing and we found it really quiet and also didn't hear the neighbours. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a fantastic stay in this spacious and airy 60's-style apartment, which was perfect for our group of six ladies travelling for a sports event. The apartment had everything we needed—plenty of bedding, towels, pillows, and even extra mattresses. It was immaculately clean and very comfortable, making it feel like a home away from home. Sarah, our host, was incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating from start to finish, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The location was ideal and made getting around super easy. We had such a comfortable and enjoyable stay—highly recommended!

A stone throw from the beach, coffee shops, street and train station. Nice spot to relax and unwind. Janelle was helpful very kind. I’ll be staying here again.

What a fabulous spot to enjoy what Melbourne has to offer. The views are truly spectacular and the apartment is well equipped. Would definitely stay again.

We loved Port Melbourne and Mia's place is perfect to discover the area. We will book again!

We had a lovely stay at Donna's space. It was clean, cozy and comfortable and we felt right at home. Everything that we could have needed for our stay was there, and the proximity to the beach was wonderful. Donna was great at providing us with clear information about check-in and check-out as well. Would definitely stay here again!

Quaint little home in a great location, close to good cafes, restaurants, the beach and a comfortable walk to Albert Park. Andrew was very responsive and easy to communicate with at every stage. We all enjoyed our stay, thank you :)

Loved our stay here. Very roomy with everything we needed. Anne was friendly and helpful. The seat at the front window with views across the park and bay towards the city was our favourite spot.

Sheryl's lovely and so is the house

I have stayed at Thackeray many times. it's the perfect location on the beach.. great bike rides... easy to park... close to everything and Alyce is continually upgrading equipment in her home so everything works! highly recommended. a unique place with beautiful character.

Wonderful! Normally hate scorching heat and summer but staying here made me fall in love with it. Stayed for nearly two months while my house was getting renovated and felt like I was on a long extended holiday. The hosts (Lara and Jente) were very helpful and accomodating with everything. Smaller kitchen than what I was used to, but it worked out in the long run and ended up eating cleaner, fresher meals and got fit as a result. Plus being able to have dinner while watching the sun set from the balcony was absolutely heavenly. Will miss that place for sure. Thank you ladies!

We had another great break at Dianne’s place. The time just flew by and we’re now planning our next visit for next year .

This is a lovely house in a beautiful location right on the beach. The layout of the place with its open plan kitchen and living area and deck for lounging around on was perfect for us. We also loved the Ping Ping table and there are plenty of other games to choose from as well. The host communicated everything very well, which is a big plus in my books. Would highly recommend.

Really great location. The place is really well set up, and Julienne is extremely friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

This was everything we wanted! We were a large group of friends visiting the area for a birthday celebration and to visit wineries. The accomodation fit us all comfortably (as long as you dont mind some bunk beds) and the views from the upstairs loungeroom were magical - think ocean, black swans and beautiful sunsets. We had some trouble getting to the accomm as we came off the ferry and its a 45 min walk. Thought there would be ubers or taxis but there isnt much in the area. Luckily some locals saved us and took us there. Loved our stay and would visit again.

Great stay at Kate’s place and would highly recommend for those seeking a tranquil beach side apartment close to amenities and the city

Wonderful place to stay in a lovely little neighbourhood and easy to use public transport to get around. Not for people who want to easily access the CBD.

Great location, public transport on door step and walking distance to all restaurants. We stayed with a family of 5 very comfortably. Nathan was a great host very helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay here and appreciated the slightly quieter part of Melbourne. It is a very family-friendly area and the accomodation had everything we needed for a lovely family stay. The esplanade is across the road with playgrounds in walking distance. We also saw a stunning sunset over the water on our last day by walking 2mins across the road! The fuel station opposite had all the essentials which was handy. Otherwise Acland street is a 10-15min walk away with Woolworths/ Coles and plenty of restaurants and cafes. All in all we had a great stay, and a special thanks to your very friendly neighbour who very kindly showed us where our gate was when we arrived in the dark later than expected :)

Our stay at Beach Hideaway was enhanced by our host Laura's excellent instructions and introduction to the property. Beach Hideaway is a dream of a small property, beautifully fitted out with everything one could need. It was fastidiously clean and attractively appointed. The bedroom, with plentiful cupboards and attractive bed coverings to choose from was very comfortable. The kitchen included all new equipment, large frig freezer, stove top and oven and two person compact dishwasher. Plenty of room in the laundry for a washing machine and dryer. The outside area contained a garden, nice furniture and a barbecue. The property also had off street parking for one car. A step and a hop takes you to Parkdale Beach and the main street shopping strip. We had a thoroughly comfortable and enjoyable time in Beach Hideaway and look forward to a return visit. Oh by the way, we also enjoyed the chocolates Laura kindly left for us!

We had another wonderful stay at Josephine’s beautiful beach condo. Perfect location! Great cafes & restaurants all in walking distance. Highly recommend!
