Beachfront holiday rentals in Illawong

Does what it says on the tin. Absolutely prime spot looking out onto shark island, with a perfect balcony for people watching on the esplanade. Lovely interior, perfect beach vibes with the bedroom windows positioned just right to wake up to sunrise over Cape Solander. And easy walk to the nun's pool for a winter dip! Honestly the photos don't really do it justice, one of my top AirBNBs I've stayed in over the years and will keep it on my list of go-tos.

This is a beautiful and well appointed apartment in the best location ( North Bondi) - only a five minute walk to the beach and promenade and near many great restaurants and coffee shops. The space is open , clean, and bright with a view of the ocean from the bedroom balcony. We booked a one month stay to visit our son and his family and await the arrival of our first grandson ( he lives on this street). So in addition to the Bondi beauty and convenience, we experienced a special family time. Olenka is an amazing host - always supportive, responsive and helpful. When she asked if we needed anything and we asked for more hangers and a door stopper , she had them delivered to us by the next day ( and added a special treat - Anzac biscuits and Tim Tams!) She responded to any messages we sent within just a few minutes. I recommend this location and host highly and enthusiastically !! Deborah

It had a that was needed for our big family and having the kayak and spa was added things to do on our stay. Bob(uncle) was helpful and welcoming. Would stay again if visit with family again because its location just allows you to stay in a nice quiet setting after visiting the concrete jungle 😅 Awesome and thanks heaps

Perfectly located, easy walk to beach and restaurants. Comfortable bed and good shower! Very quiet despite the central location. Great to have a car space and to be able to bring our dog. Ticks all the boxes!

Marissa’s place was in a great location. Close to the Manly Wharf, Museum and great cafes/Shopping etc. The building is old so it was a bit dark. Bed was super comfy and decor was lovely. The only thing was how tiny the shower and bathroom was but considering the age of the building, it’s to be expected! A tip for Uber p/up and drop/off use the back entrance on Crescent… much easier! Marissa gave me an early ck-in as I was there on business and was really appreciated!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

Highly recommend this place for anyone staying in Manly, really central location close to beach, shops, restaurants and the ferry terminal

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!

Beautiful please to stay in a fantastic and buzzing location and very responsive service

We really enjoyed Christian’s place. Unbeatable location, right in the heart of Manly. We also rented a car and were pleased the rental came with a car space. We asked for a slightly later checkout and this was accommodated. Also on the day we arrived the apartment was ready for check in early. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

We had an amazing time staying at Lucy's beachfront Airbnb! We spent a month there and loved waking up to the stunning sunrise every morning. The apartment was perfect for our family of four, offering everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Lucy was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. We would absolutely love to return for another beach getaway!

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 lovely stay at Liane and John’s studio. Beautifully furnished, with lots of attention to detail. Lovely to be able to walk straight to the beach and long walkway along this coastal strip.

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

We loved staying here because it had 3 things we appreciate: all-day sunshine, a fantastic view and plenty of walking. The bed was comfy too and we loved the green corduroy lounge. It's not so great if you're a gourmet cook or like to go out and eat fancy.

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 !

Nicole is an extremely caring & responsive host! She thinks of everything and thinks outside the box compared to other hosts. Very accommodating. The apartment is super clean and cosy, has a Hampton , ocean feel. The view is amazing and is in a prime location! Cronulla RSL is exactly a 7 minute walk , & 10 minute walk to time zone and restaurants ect , so very close. We will definitely back 🫶🏻🩷 xxxx

Easy, free, all day parking a block or two away (Free parking in Sydney !! - I was able to totally forget the car for 48 hours), and plenty of opportunity out the front for drop off/loading up. Great bus transport direct to the CBD (but who wants to go to the CBD when you're at the beach right !?). Slap bang at the northern end of, and minutes walk from, stunning Bondi Beach. Close to the Bondi facilities and even closer to North Bondi cafes and eateries, again, minutes away. Compact, tidy, clean apartment .... what more could one want for a few days in a magic part of the world. We had no need to contact Raquel ... perhaps that's the best recommendation of all !!
