Beachfront vacation rentals in Southern Sydney

You want to stay here. The Sandstone Cottage has an exceptional view and an ideal location. The dwelling is well maintained, very clean and perfectly serviced. Being able to use the provided water toys and kayaks was a bonus for our kids. We found the Sandstone Cottage to be comfortable because of how familiar everything was to us, and convenient because of how the space was so sensibly laid out. There is beauty inside and outside of this house. It rocks.

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.

Amazing location with great restaurants and cafes around . Breathtaking views . Thanks so much for such a memorable birthday weekend

The apartment was very clean and well stocked on things like toilet paper, toiletries, washing and cleaning products. Bed was lovely and comfortable. Great WIFI . The location of the apartment was great - a short walk and you were at the beach. Also close by was the bus stop for the free Wollongong bus.

Had such a beautiful peaceful stay 🙏the house was perfect and so close to the beach. Beautiful back entertainment area also. And the host was lovely and very fast msg response! I will definitely be booking again

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Airbnb in Manly Beach! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the stunning beach, amazing cafes, and local shops. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and enjoying my morning coffee on the balcony was incredible. The home itself had everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Liz is a fantastic host—super responsive, supportive and friendly. I would definitely stay again next time I’m in Australia!

This was the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in! It was exactly as described. The house was immaculately clean! Great bathrooms and showers! Comfy beds. A full kitchen including a barista type coffee machine ready to go. There was an abundance of linen, blankets, bathroom items even down to make up wipes! The fridge was filled with the essentials and many extras. We found a welcome hamper on our arrival and even our small dog was well catered for much to everyone’s delight. There was books, board games and electronic games. The house interior was modern, fresh and beautifully decorated. It felt more like a home than a house. There has been a lot of thought put into this Airbnb. We wanted for nothing. Fabulous hosts, we can’t wait for our next trip! Thank you!

Such a great location, so close to the ocean yet private and cosy. Near everything. Excellent

The house worked really well for our family with lovely bedrooms for everyone and a comfortable living area with different spots for people to read or relax with the ocean views out the big windows. Also a nice stroll to the excellent Austinmer ocean pool that we swam in each day!

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

Great flat in a highly desirable location, good amenities in the building, very helpful and responsive host.

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 !

Great location just off the Corso, super accessible to Manly beach and the ferry to Circular Quay. Kirsti was a super host, always accessible and responsive and helpful. Would definitely return, enjoyed my stay. Also loved the A/C, needed in view of the late summer weather.

Very nice accomodation, super close to everything and was very clean with a great view. Would definitely stay again!

Great apartment, with an amazing view, in a great location. I’m a little scared of heights & the apartment is actually much higher than it’s 9th floor location, due to parking & businesses & the railing is very old school, but the view was definitely worth it. The beds were very comfortable. James was a great host. Check in was super easy & James responded quickly to any questions. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location, place is very well maintained. Kitchen has everything one needs. Jeremy and Jane are very helpful and supportive. Manly is a vibrant and scenic place, the view from the balcony is amazing. Lots of things to do and places to visit. During our stay, the weather was perfect and there were plenty of opportunities for walking, swimming, looking for wildlife. Thank you, Jeremy and Jane for your support and hospitality. Next time we will be in Sydney, we will book again.

5 stars Beautiful spot in a perfect location. The apartment had such a calm, beachy elegance — clean, thoughtfully styled, and super comfortable throughout. We loved waking up to the natural light and walking straight to the beach or grabbing coffee nearby. Everything felt effortless, from the smooth check-in to the well-equipped kitchen and plush bedding. Ideal for a low-key escape with just the right touch of luxury. Would absolutely stay again — thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had a great stay and Niesh and Rob's place! Such a calm and relaxing environment, both in and around the house and tge area in general. Fully private, right by the water. Can really recommend it. Will definitely come back. Thanks again!

I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb right in front of the beach! The view was absolutely stunning—waking up to the ocean every morning was a dream. The place was spotless and really well-maintained, which made it feel extra comfortable. I loved the area too—it was peaceful, relaxing, and just perfect for a little getaway. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind with a beautiful seaside view.

Great stay and amazing location. We really enjoyed ourselves. Thanks Tristan!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay at Brian and Kim's Airbnb! They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. First, they surprised us with so many lovely treats including homemade cookies upon arrival, which were absolutely delicious and such a kind and thoughtful thing to do. But what really blew us away was their attention to detail when they found out we were traveling with a baby. They went out of their way to purchase baby products and even managed to secure a baby cot for us after only booking the night before! This level of care and consideration made our stay so much more comfortable. The space itself was clean and beautifully decorated, but it was Brian and Kim's hospitality that made this experience unforgettable. They were always available if we needed anything but also gave us plenty of privacy. It felt like stay staying with family—warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

Peter’s apartment has the most incredible view. It was spotless and very well thought out, with everything we could have asked for. Peter is an incredible host!

We love coming back here! It’s delightfully clean and well prepared for guests, and includes lovely touches like snacks, drinks and quality toiletries. Sandy and Greg are impeccable hosts, friendly, helpful and respectful. We will be back !

Cannot recommend this spot enough. The brilliant location and views are second to Nicole as a host. She is above and beyond, has plenty of pantry/fridge staples and snacks, surplus coffee, is super helpful and caring and has placed so many lovely touches around the apartment. I can’t wait to visit again. Thank you 🩷
