Beachfront holiday rentals in Southern Sydney

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.

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.

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!

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.

This was hands down the most beautiful Airbnb. It’s a perfect location for an incredible Bondi weekend. Highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

Spent two weeks in Robyn and Anthony’s beautiful home and felt completely welcomed and appreciated from the get go! The house is gorgeous with plenty of room for three generations, and every amenity that we could think of was already waiting for us. Robyn and Anthony were very responsive to every question we had, and the location across from the beach was perfect. I absolutely would stay here again and cannot speak highly enough of our experience! Thanks so much! 🥰🥰

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.

this apartment was great!!! I really felt comfortable staying there and would stay again! it had all the amenities you needed to cook! the washer and dryer were great! Tommy provided milk, bread, butter and washing powder to get you started! the bed is 2 singles pushed together as a warning if you don't like that style but for me staying solo was fine!

Great little apartment perfectly located within the hub of Manly. Lovely view from the balcony . Suited all my wife and my needs and wouldn’t hesitate to book again on another trip to Sydney as it is a much more relaxing location than the bustling CBD which is still easily accessible by the nearby Manly ferry service .

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

Had such a great stay at Ocean Gem! The apartment was lovely, clean and had everything you need. Loved the extra touch of a bottle of bubbles and chocolate! Deb was very responsive and such a lovely host. Location was amazing, the view from the balcony 10/10 and you can easily walk everywhere. I would highly recommend and will definately return.

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.

Niesh and Rob were great hosts! We stayed at their Waterfront Cottage for 3 nights and loved it! It was very cosy for a winter weekend away. The sun drenched living area was so comfortable. We felt right at home cooking in the kitchen and relaxing on the comfy lounges. We enjoyed a fire by the waters edge and made use of the kayak. Had a great morning kayaking around and taking in the beautiful scenery! Enjoyed waking up to the sounds of the wildlife and stunning views. Only a short drive into Bundeena for plenty of food options. Great bbq area and balcony overlooking the water. We can’t wait to come back again when the weather warms up! Thanks for having us :)

We had a lovely stay at Tristan's place. I arrived at night and it was dark and I wasn't sure where to go. I called Tristan and he came and met me immediately. He was so nice and friendly and very helpful. The apartment is older style, but looks exactly as pictured and the ocean views are truly amazing. It takes a few minutes, but it is easy and enjoyable to walk along the walking path to the main areas of Cronulla. If you have a car there is no parking bay for the apartment - there is a 15min loading/unloading area - but you do need to park in the street, which can be quite busy. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you, 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.

Couldn't have wished for a better location, walking distance to the beach and shops. Stunning house, exactly how it had been portrayed and Samantha and Rich were very helpful and accommodating. I'd have no hesitation in returning if it was available.

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

Amazing location we stayed last minute for one night in Bondi. Perfect for couple. You couldn’t get closer to the ocean and literally next to Bondi Icebergs. We will def be back.

Beautiful compact apartment so close to the beach. Very easy to get to by bus, and just a 5 min walk to local shops. Raquel and Julie were very responsive and helpful.
