Flamenco 3 bedroom beach front
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – A Stay We’ll Never Forget! This was hands down one of the most incredible places we’ve ever stayed! From the moment we arrived, everything felt like a dream. The views? Absolutely to die for. Waking up to the most breathtaking sunrises and dolphin sightings—it honestly felt like a slice of paradise. The home itself was immaculate and beautifully designed. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was our host. She went above and beyond every single day—bringing us fresh coffee each morning (yes, really!), aand treating us with such genuine kindness. Nothing was ever too much trouble. It felt less like staying at an Airbnb and more like being welcomed into someone's lovingly cared-for haven. We’ve stayed in many places, but this one? It’s something special. It’s the kind of place you start planning your return to before you've even left. Can’t recommend it highly enough—we'll absolutely be back 💃

Highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway." ¹

3 Bedroom Beach Apartment near Ushaka (unit 202)
The appartment is just as nice as it looks on the pictures. It is homely, comfortable, spacious and located in a really nice area of Durban. Ushaka Marine World is at walking distance and there are nice restaurants close by as well. Most importantly, the area feels very secure and the security keeps an eye on the surroundings of the appartment.

Beautiful spacious apartment overlooking the ocean. Liesl was such a great host and made sure that our stay was amazing and that our check-in was seamless even though we arrived very late in the evening. It was 10/10, the place is amazing, the location was great, and the host was great as well.

24 Bronze Bay
The place met our expectations as according to the images. The apartment is cosy and prestine with stunning beach views. The bathroom could do with towel hangers. Self check-in process was seamless and certainly will visit again in the summer:-)

Beach apartment
We will always stay there when we travel. Very convenient and within walking distance to all amenities. The views are amazing

Ballito Beachfront Paradise *with backup power*
I HIGHLY recommend this venue. It is perfect for a small family trip. The unit is spacious, fully equipped, and even has a washer/dryer. It is just steps from the beach/boardwalk, and the host provides helpful items like beach towels and beach chairs. Just note that it’s on the top floor of the building, so pack accordingly since you’ll need to carry your bags. Loren is an excellent host, fully responsive, and so very helpful. There are multiple beachside restaurants less than a 5 minute walk from the building, and lots of rock pools and safe swimming areas along the beach. If you are looking to stay in Ballito, this is the place.

Luxury Beach Villa
Nicely laid out space for a group-share: four independent rooms, each with an en suite full bathroom. Proximity to beach is excellent. The condo is outfitted with everything you'd need--from kitchen gear to beach towels, etc. We were a group of seven attending a wedding and had a great time in the space. Trish was also very helpful: when one guest forgot his passport in the condo, she was quick to let us back into the space well after checkout. I would recommend Trish's place for anyone looking for a fun pad to connect with family and friends, beachside.
