Superb Beachfront Shack in Cowes
sensational accommodation! Was so beautiful and the location was amazing

SaltHouse - Phillip Island
Great communication, clear instructions. The surrounding was peaceful and very close to the beach. The rooms was surprisingly soundproof and the heating was more than adequate for cold days. The living area was super spacious.

Clambake Beach House - Cool retro, private yard!
The house with the very special decoration is unique and very comfortable to stay for a couple of days, especially due to the very comfortable bed in the main bedroom . To relax in the beautiful garden with an amazing bird life the house is perfect. To make the chill out complete, the two hammocks you can put up on the deck were fantastic! And you can go for a relaxed swim on the very close swimming beach. For people who love surfing the most amazing surf beach in the first surf nature reserve is just a three minute drive away. The waves were just spectacular when we were there. If you want to eat out, it’s just a 20 minute walk on two minute drive to the restaurant in the entrance of the urbanization, It’s really recommendable. We had just had 3 perfect days!

Cowes Central Beach House
My friend group of 10 and myself absolutely loved out stay at this place. The house was everything we wished for and more. It was in such a fantastic location within walking distance to everything we needed (shops, beach, etc) and the house itself was incredible. So much to do inside with lots of options including pool table, table tennis, basketball, swing set, xbox and more. I would definitely recommend this stay.

Jam Jerrup Sunset by the Sea
This really did feel like a home away from home. Everything you could ask for is here. The surrounds are so peaceful and quiet. I had a BBQ and a beach walk with friends on the Saturday and the patio was an amazing area to sit out on and look at the water. Differently will be returning! Thanks James for sharing this little hidden gem!

Rhyll Waterfront Retreat: Panoramic Sea Views
Hi Deb! Today we left your wonderful house unfortunately after 6 weeks. We had a phantastic time and didn’t want to leave… We got in contact with so many nice people in Surf Church and Baptist Church. The Catholic School was also wonderful for our son. We loved Surfing at Smiths Beach, hiking at Pyramid Rocks, swimming at the Beach at your House with the black swans, Jogging at Silverleaves and writing a Book on the terrace of your House with the Most wonderful panoramic view ever!!! How can I now live without it?
On the Broadway
A great place to stay in San Remo and not too far from all of the tourist attractions in Phillip Island. Highly recommend.
Back Beach House
Marg was an absolutely amazing host. She gives you great recommendations of things to see and do the surrounding area. Instructions were very clear and her home is beautiful. Clean with everything you need. She is very responsive and very friendly. 10/10 experience.

Retro Retreat | Pool, Hot Tub & 300m to Beach
Thank you to the Peachy Properties team. My family and I had a wonderful stay at a wonderful house. Very retro indeed. A perfect property located close to the beach and shops, all in a quiet street with friendly neighbours. I highly recommend this property

Beachy Keen
Very friendly people. House was well equipted. pingpong table, several parking areas, clean and warm swimming pool, toys for kids, kitchen with almost al necessary things, BBQ, ... Also the location is great.Silent, 2 min walk to beach. 10 min walk to restaurants and shopping center. I think it had the best location in phillip island. Many thanks to them:)

200 mt to beach, Family Holiday Unit
We have stayed at Jodie's place 2 or 3 times now, my kids love it, we walk to the beach in the morning and if hot enough, pool for rest of the day. It has everything that suits us as a family including the oval and skate park across the road.

Just Beachy
We were so pleased to have stayed in this very spacious apartment. The photos dont do it justice. A magic view of the bay from the balcony. A fabulous location making it an easy walk to restaurants, cafes, the foreshore and supermarkets.

Seas The Day
This was my second time of booking Elle & Andrew’s house, the first time was with my family , and this time was with a small group of girlfriends. The house was perfect for both occasions. The house was spotlessly clean , spacious & the pool & spa were again a highlight. Everything was there we could possibly need , so we could relax & enjoy the weekend. Elle & Andrew were sensational hosts, very responsive & nothing was too much trouble . All my friends thought the house was simply amazing & can’t wait to go back . Thanks for having us .

Phillip Island Penthouse on the Esplanade
What a lovely spot. Calm and quiet with amazing ocean views. Lots of good cafes and restaurants at your doorstep.

Family Getaway - Walk to beach
Lovely apartment within walking distance to shops, restaurants and the beach. Beds were comfy, apartment was well equipped for our stay, shower was good size and decent water pressure! We unfortunately did not get to use the pool or bbq facilities as we had terrible weather when we stayed. One thing to be mindful of is there are 30 stairs to reach the apartment.

Hideaway By The Sea. Beach Access Wi-Fi and Linen
Thank you for a great stay. We will be back

Stonesthrow Beachouse •1 minute walk to Beach•
Our little family had a wonderful time staying at Steve and Renee’s beach house. The house is located close to the beach so much so that we walked down each other day. The kids loved the large outdoor space in particular the swing set. We would highly recommend staying!

Salty Rays 70s Beach House
The house is full of character. Great mix of old and new via a very thoughtful renovation and furnished perfectly with original 70s pieces. House was spotless and has everything you need for a relaxing stay - all linen and towels provided and kitchen has plenty of pots, pans and utensils for cooking. Super close to the beach. Can walk into town along the beach. Family had a great Easter long weekend away - we will be back!

Beachfront Home - Red Rock Retreat
We had a wonderful stay at this thoughtfully designed property. While it operates as a business accommodation, the personal touches in the decor and furnishings made it feel warm and welcoming. The space was spotless, comfortable, and well-furnished, with stunning views from the balcony. Communication with the host was seamless, and every effort was made to ensure we had a great stay. Highly recommended, and we hope to return in the future!

Ventnor Sunsets
Ingrid was a great host, very nice to talk to and responsive if needed anything. Great location and price close to everything needed! Felt right at home!

Manuka Lodge
Such a beautiful house & amazing location! The house had everything we needed & was nice & clean with great amenities. The views were just gorgeous as the house was located right on the beach. We had easy access to the beach from the back yard. We were away for a girls trip but would love to come back with my family in the future as it's also very well set up for family groups too.

Life's a Beach Holiday
Great spot for the local strip of the island. Thanks again Alan

Captains Bridge - Sublime San Remo Locale
Myself, my partner and our 7 year old son + dog stayed here for 3 nights. We couldn't fault Alison's place - 1 minute walk to the beach, 1 minute walk to coffee, numerous eating options (we ate at the pub on the corner and had delicious fish and chips from the co-op) and an IGA within a few minutes walk and easy access to the bridge to head over to Phillip Island. The house was spotless and comfortable and our son loved having his 'own level' upstairs. We had a few issues getting the TV game system and wifi to work but in the end it didn't matter, we didn't need it. Alison was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with before and during our stay. Highly recommend this place. If we head down this way again we would absolutely stay again.
