Family-friendly vacation rentals in Shelly Beach

We had an incredible time staying! The apartment was even more amazing than we thought. It had everything we needed, and Sally dad - John warm welcome and gift were the best parts of our trip. Thank you so much for that! We’d love to come back to your place again in the spring if we ever get the chance.

Couldn’t recommend this place more! Vicki and Roger were the so kind and helpful our whole stay, made us feel right at home. It was a an absolute pleasure to stay in your cabin. The scenery and farm friends we loved and the hot tub was a lovely bonus! Everything was clean and we had everything we could need.

Antonina was a lovely host, who responded straight away to any questions we had. The home was just as described very beautiful with lovely surroundings. We felt so relaxed in this beautiful private surroundings. Would definitely recommend and we will hopefully be coming back in Easter.

Coco’s place was perfect, great location and everything we needed for a Sydney city stay. The apartment has everything we needed which made or stay super easy. Coco met us and checked us in and is a fantastic host.

We had a lovely stay, view was amazing. Location was fantastic. Apartment was spacious and kitchen well equiped. Would totally recommend staying, will we again in the future. Thank you

Fantastic stay. Liz's place is ideally located for anyone needing to easily get around and visit Sydney. Communication from Liz throughout was super helpful and great to have such a helpful host. would recommend

Brendan and Maureen’s place is wonderful! It’s a beautiful apartment with incredible views in one of the best locations in the world, Bondi Beach. The apartment was clean, well maintained and stocked with everything listed, and is in close proximity to everything you could want/need. Getting into the building/carpark/apartment was seamless. I couldn’t have asked for a better base for a really great trip. I highly recommend Brendan and Maureen’s apartment…I promise you won’t want to leave!! Thank you!

Paul has a lovely home and was a great host. No issues with our stay and Paul was very responsive. All in all, a great trip!

Beautiful property. Loved the nest! Lots of lovely walks and different places to unwind on the property itself. Waking up to all the birdsong was glorious. We had a really lovely relaxing stay - thank you very much Christine.

settled in australian native tree surroundings. small creek at the bottom of the yard. frogs croaking at night. nice and quiet. the sleeping and lounge room were larger than what the photos showed. went their for work. was great to come back and have total quiet. will be staying again.

I enjoyed dealing with Kate who deserves her reputation as a super host. She was unlike some other hosts I have dealt with very flexible with check in and check out times. I really hope that I have the opportunity to stay in this lovely property again and wish her all the best

Excellent cabin in a lovely tranquil location. Great hosts with everything that you need in the cabin plus more, to have a relaxing time outside of the city. Great for fishing and beach walks, close to amentities if you need to stock up on food too.

We had a beautiful weekend away at Cox’s cottage. It was so quiet and the views, especially at sunset, were unreal. It was a great escape from the city to unwind for a few days! The cottage itself is so charming and Jeremy and Annette were very responsive.

Extraordinary, sublime, what an absolute paradise. The bonus of the boat being there for use was magical and we ended up having the best swim ever up the river. Cannot recommend this highly enough. A must. I can’t wait to return.

We stayed at this lovely Airbnb for 2 nights to visit family in Avalon. Patti and Maya were highly responsive from the time of booking to the end of the stay. The home was perfect for our party of three and 2 small dogs. It was clean, cosy and everything we needed was available and then some. We had no trouble finding the home, entering it or finding a parking space close to the home on the street. The 2 bedrooms with ensuites was a perfect setup for us as well as the open concept living space. The TV and wifi worked well. We spent a great deal of time in the outdoor living space and even though it rained we still enjoyed it. The neighbourhood is quiet and locals friendly. Close to coffee shops, beaches, restaurants, grocery, pubs and clubs. I have a senior dog that has high anxiety when away from home and he was extremely chilled in this environment. The only negative thing I have to say is that we didn’t stay long enough. 10/10 Highly recommend.

This is the second time we’ve visited Paul’s place and hopefully they’ll be another. It’s a quintessential Australian coast house, full of character and warmth. The beach is across the road and you fall asleep with the sound of the ocean. Heaven! Great back yard, everything you need and Paul is a 10 out of 10 host!

Fantastic stay! Great location and stunning views. Can’t recommend enough.

We loved staying at this wonderful place. The location was perfect. The house was clean and cozy. Great location to enjoy the downtown lifestyle.

Place was great and Victoria was really helpful!! We had such a great time and it was really clean also. Not anyone’s fault but worth noting that you’re unable to leave your bags the next day if you’re leaving Syd after your check out time.

Great location and so close to the beach. Walking distance to the country club. Lovely house with great pool and lovely ocean views from the top balcony.

We have stayed with Genie often while visiting family nearby. We enjoying catching the bus at the end of the street and making our way to the station to catch the train to the city. There are parks and walks nearby, and we regularly walk to a cafe in Asquith for coffee. Genie's place is roomy and private, with everything we need for our stay. We particularly appreciate the washing machine and drying space.

This was a really great place to stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to book there again. It was spotlessly clean, well appointed and centrally located….highly recommend!

We could not fault our stay ! The apartment was well equipped , clean and in a great location ! Will definitely stay again when we are next in Manly !

Peaceful location, had a great girls weekend away 💜 next time I’ll just remember to bring more bug spray, there were more mozzies than I expected to be at the location, and I did not come prepared enough as the person who is generally the one bitten in the group, this is an error on my part
