Beachfront holiday rentals in Sydney

We stayed over a weekend with our two children and some friends. It was torrentially raining for the first 24 hours which was bad luck and made the journey a bit trickier with cancelled ferries but we made it and the sun came out for us and we had a lovely weekend in the incredible surroundings of Mackerel Beach. It’s such a peaceful and magical spot. Relatively close to Sydney but it feels like you’re so far away when you wake up there. Claudia and Richard gave us detailed and clear instructions which made the logistics so much easier. The kids loved the cricket kit and beach equipment. We all appreciated the kitchen set up as we all like to cook. Eating out on the deck was really special. Will definitely be back to Mackerel beach.

Amazing location in Sydney. Beautiful neighborhood and natural surroundings. Beds were comfortable.

Our stay at Liz & Larry’s Patonga cabin was fantastic. Hosts were friendly and helpful, accomodating an early check-in. Location was peaceful and relaxing with access to a beautiful waterfront area to sit and relax. A 5 minute walk to the beach and pub was an added bonus. Would return and recommend to family and friends.

Beautiful unit with stimming’s views, so close to the beach we could walk there in less than a minute. Coogee is wonderful, laid back part of Sydney with every restaurant and food outlet brilliant. Danny supplied everything required including beach towels. Place is well appointed, clean, comfy beds, everything you could want in the kitchen. Nice touches like plenty of TP. Will go again for sure.

As always, Alison's place didn't disappoint. Beautiful house, grand deck, thoughtful inclusions and a view to die for. Can we give it 6 stars? Looking forward to vacation #5!!

Lovely location, house is comfortable, relaxed and perfect for a beach holiday. Our dogs loved the back yard and the dog beach. Ceiling fans were essential as there is no air conditioning. We had a great stay and will be back.

Gorgeous location and one of the best stocked Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed in, in terms of crockery, cutlery, coffee machine, salad bowls, bread boards plus surplus stock for bathrooms, kitchen needs etc. We had a really great stay in every way.

A wonderful place to enjoy a week in Coogee. We loved having the beach and main street with shops and restaurants just a few minutes away, as well as bus stops to explore the rest of Sydney. The house feels like a home and had everything we needed. Sophie is lovely and was very easy to communicate with during our stay. Highly recommend staying here!

Great apartment for two people. Loved the location with a short walk to stores, restaurants and beaches. Very clean, well stocked and up to date. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for hosting us.

Fantastic place to stay ! Super friendly host who was able to give us an early check in which was great . Great location . Couldn’t fault it !

Apartment is in a perfect location close to the Harbour, restaurants, and public transportation. It is a secured building so you feel safe. The apartment has all the amenities you need and is very comfortable. Tommy is a perfect host and is easy to get a hold of for anything. This is such a great place we have stayed here more than once! Thanks Tommy!

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.

To celebrate my 50th birthday my husband, son and I booked 2 nights in Manly. The apartment overlooking the beach was absolutely perfect and it had everything we needed and the host was polite and responsive. The apartment was beautiful with lovely prints on the wall and very clean. We would 100% love to stay here again in the future. Thank you.

Jeremy’s place was in a perfect location. It was central and handy to everything. It was ideal for our holiday in Manly. Great views from the balcony. We loved our stay there!

Absolutely amazing ! Deb was so lovely and immediately made you feel welcomed ! The little Gem was beautiful ,extremely clean with no clutter or unnecessary things everything provided was perfect ! The Apartment had a gorgeous view of the pool and the beach and mountains which immediately created a sense of calmness and serenity ! We loved it ! Thankyou we will be back ! :))))

Amazing location to Manly beach. The apartment was clean and comfortable. The shower was good with toiletries provided. I would thoroughly recommend the place and would not hesitate to book again.

We stayed here for 5 weeks and absolutely loved it! The place was huge, and fully equipped for a long term stay. Marea and Kyra were so attentive and responsive, an added bonus was them staying above us in another unit at times so as a group of girls we felt really safe. Perfect location just steps from the beach. Would love to come back xx

Gorgeous little original cottage, right on the beach. Perfect for our girls’ weekend away! Super chilled.

We had a fantastic weekend ! Our family traveled from abroad and instantly fell in love with the view and the comfort of the house. It doesn’t feel like a typical rental -it has the warmth and charm of a real home. The space was bright, spacious, decorated with taste and extremely well-equipped ( I love cooking and usually complain about missing kitchen utensils but not this time!) And it was absolutely spotless. Thank you, Alicia, for being the perfect host!

I honestly can’t say enough about how phenomenal this experience was. I came off of a 20 hour flight and couldn’t wait to relax, cook dinner, and enjoy being on the water. It was the most beautiful sunset I had ever seen and one of the best night’s sleep of my life. From being picked up at the dock to the adventure of the return trip back to shore, I would recommend this incredible stay to anyone!

Great property in ideal location - plenty of undercover entertaining space and exceptionally well appointed throughout. Jacuzzi and fireplace complement outdoor entertaining options. Excellent host (Carla) was responsive, helpful and added to the experience. Would highly recommend.

An absolute dream of a place - I’ve stayed at Great Mackerel before a few times, and it just keeps getting better and better. The attention to detail that Jamie and Ingrid have put into the place makes you feel right at home. Definitely will come back! The locals are awesome as well!

Outstanding location on the waterfront with views across to Scotland Island. Spacious accommodation that is ideal for family gatherings. The kayaks and. paddle boards were a real bonus. The 3 and 6 year olds absolutely loved drawing chalk pictures on the blackboard wall in the kitchen.

Incredible views, private and extremely comfortable. Would recommend this house to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!
