Ocean View home in San Remo with heated pool
This house is a hidden gem in San Remo. The house is so cosy and comfortable, we had an enjoyable long weekend there. The pool is electrically heated so as to make your stay even more comfortable. The host is very proactive and communicates really well.Thank you folks for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home!

Phillip Island Resort Coastal Villa
My family and I had an amazing time at this place! The location is incredibly convenient, with everything you need close by. The amenities are top-notch, including both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a tennis court, a restaurant, and much more. We enjoyed every moment of our stay and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great vacation spot.

Currawong Paradise Indoor heated pool, sauna & spa
beautiful house for perfect family getaway. kids loved pool/theatre room. adults loved sauna. fireplace nice and homely with lots of wood supplied. short drive to shops/restaurants. would definitely return.

Sea La Vie - Flinders the ultimate spot!
An absolutely lovely house, couldn't fault it. We had 3 couples staying and it was more than large enough to accommodate us all. Also great to have a bathroom each. It is in a great location, being an easy walk to both the shops and the pier. Lovely and quiet. Excellent communication from the hosts.

Beachfront at Red Rocks! - with heated Swim Spa!
The accommodation was a perfect size. Main bedroom is great, large with its own bathroom and enclosed outside area. Shared bedrooms maybe a bit small but they're just for sleeping anyway. Plenty of living space, an extra area for kids. Lots of toys and games and a billiard table. The swim spa wasn't heating for us but Chris the host did warn us due to unforeseen circumstances and offered a refund if we wished to cancel. Very close to a beautiful enclosed beach, not very busy and good for swimming. Far enough away from 5he bustle of Cowes centre but close enough to walk or drive in for supplies. Chris was very prompt in replying. Overall, a very good experience and I recommend this accommodation for groups or families. Thank you Chris for offering your place.

Bonview Beach Boy with pool on the park
We couldn’t fault this place. Everything about it was perfect! My family had such a wonderful and relaxing time. Plenty to do here. They’ve thought of everything! Accommodated everyone comfortably and catered to everyone’s needs. Beds were clean and comfortable. Beautiful kitchen, outdoor dining, outdoor gaming room, swimming pool, bbq area, walking track just out the back, minute’s from the beach and I could go on…. Lol. It has everything you would need for a great time away. Kim and the team were a great help whenever we needed something, they were very responsive. Responded straight away. Definitely would visit here again! ❤️

Seaside Sanctuary : Pool Spa & Beach
We stayed at Joanne’s place previously and loved our stay so much we couldn’t wait to come back, so we did! Our stay the second time around was just as blissful. Joanne’s home is beautiful, roomy, clean and with all the amenities you could need to be comfortable and enjoy your holiday. Joanne is always communicative and responsive. The location really is super special and the perfect spot for adventures and is amongst nature, but also only a short drive to dining and shops. Our kids have loved each stay and we’re looking forward to coming back hopefully in the near future. Thanks again Joanne.

Beach Haven
Property was clean and comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped with pots and pans, plenty of dishes and cutlery. The host - Rosemary was very helpful and proactive with our queries. Property has a good sized pool for hot days. Overall, a good holiday home!

Salty Rays 70s Beach House
Nice and cosy little cottage. Love the simple and clean interior and quiet surroundings. Location is super accessible to the penguin parade. Recommend to those who love quiet and peaceful surroundings.

"Sea Star" - 250m to Cowes Beach
Paul & Lucie, your place is truly EXCEPTIONAL! We selected your place because the price was lower than others in the area + one-storey house that would be appropriate for our young kids to run around without any fear of falling. But what we didn’t expect was a place that would be this amazing!!!! Gosh, it was spotless and so clean, smells amazing, super comfy bed and linens. We also selected this place for its close proximity to Coles, small town shops (with all of its warm, incredibly friendly residents) but we ended up staying in the house cos it was so peaceful being inside it. Kids LOVED being in the house and didn’t wanna get out *at all*. Not even to the beach which was a couple of houses away. Everything about this place is PERFECT. Except nothing less. Our family wanna come back here as soon as we got to our next destination. Hope to be back in the future! Thanks Paul and Lucie!

Corvers Rest
A beautiful house which really makes the most of the ocean views. We really enjoyed the design of this house with great natural light and versatile spaces. Despite having a very cold snap with the weather, the house was quick to warm and remained warm when the heating was off. Great location with easy car access to Philip Island and surrounds, but otherwise very peaceful. Would definitely stay here again.

The Hidden Gem - Cosy & comfortable home in Cowes
The home was very spacious, clean and comfortable! A big recommend for your Phillip Island stay! I must say the mattresses were incredibly comfy, and it was hard to get out of bed 😅 Carmelo and Karen were very kind to let us have a few of their veggies and lemons. Overall very wonderful stay!

Delightful beach house with Spa
It’s a lovely big house, we had a great time (until we had a sick child!), our host was communicative on the app when needed. The house itself is clean, comfortable and in a good location.

Palm Springs House Phillip Island Getaway with spa
Our first family holiday to Phillip Island was made that much more comfortable staying in such a homely accommodation! everything was clean, cosy and easily accessible. Amanda was so lovely and helpful, very responsive and kind. thank you for offering such a wonderful place to stay, it definitely felt like home away from home and will definitely be returning on our next visit!

Modern & quiet retreat in Cowes. Linen provided
I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The host was incredibly welcoming and explained everything clearly upon arrival. Communication was excellent, making check-in a breeze. I felt very safe and secure in the house, thanks to the good locks. The space itself was modern, spacious, and well-equipped – it truly felt like a home away from home. Plus, the location was perfect for exploring Phillip Island's attractions. Highly recommend! 5 Star

Le Cabanon - Stylish home near the penguin parade
Me and my friends had a great stay at Victors place! It was super cosy and had everything we needed. We stayed in most of the time and cooked / ate together which we enjoyed a lot. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean and tidy. Overall would highly recommend!

Light filled, great location, accessible home.
Claire was an amazing host. The place is extremely close to the Main Street in cowes and super close to great coffee. Only slight mishap was it wasn’t clear that there were steps leading to two other rooms so it wasn’t completely accessible- this was only told after we had paid - but the master bedroom was still perfectly accessible. I loved that it was an accessible location and I would definitely come back again. Just wish the shower was fully accessible like the toilet. The place is incredibly lovely and clean perfect beachy vibes. Everyone should have access to a beautiful stay in Philip Island no matter of your disability and this place is great.

Poet's Corner House: Garden Hammock,BBQ,Pizza Oven
Probably one of the best places we have ever stayed in. perfect to chill and unwind. Amazing secure area for the 2 small dogs and heaps for them to explore. inside was fantastic and had everything we needed. Couches and beds are comfy. Bathroom clean. Highly recommend for couples or just a couple. Thanks Howard. So good!

Water views, beach access
This was hands down the *best Airbnb* we’ve ever stayed in! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The property is **beautifully maintained** and **fully equipped** with everything we could possibly need – the kitchen had all the essentials (and more!), the living spaces were cozy, and the bedrooms were incredibly comfortable. Our kids absolutely *loved it here* – they haven’t stopped talking about the stay since we left! The space was so family-friendly, safe, and had plenty of room for them to play. It’s rare to find a place that keeps both adults and children this happy. The host was wonderful – responsive, thoughtful, and made us feel truly welcomed. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for a **perfect home away from home**, especially with kids, look no further. We’ll definitely be returning! Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Spacious modern house, close to park and beach
Dan’s place is incredible. Even better than the photos, the space was flawless and accommodated for the two families during our stay very easily. Very responsive when we needed, Dan was an outstanding host. Cannot recommend highly enough, great value for what you get.

Big Isle Retreat - Walk to Beach, Pool Table, BBQ!
Staying at Ben and Heather’s place was enjoyable from start to finish! The house was spacious and well-equipped to host a big extended family like ours. The kids bedroom even had toys and books available. The pool table was a big hit, it was cosy and warm even in the winter. It was close to everything and Ben was very helpful with local recommendations for food and coffee. Highly recommend!

Family Island Getaway - Short stroll to beach!
This place was amazing! Very easy to find, very quiet. Perfect for if you want to spend your time relaxing. Perfect location, only a short 6 minute drive into town or right outside is a bus stop if you wanted to get public transport into town, really can’t get much better than that. This place was so worth the money, it’s much bigger than what appears in the photos and has everything you could possibly need. Definitely will stay here again.

Spectacular Views - Quiet Location - Outdoor Spa
Peaceful and private stay whilst still being so close to the main attractions of Phillip Island. A perfect getaway spot to unwind, beautiful little home with relaxing spa. Definitely would book again!
