Beachfront vacation rentals in South-East Melbourne

Great location, walk to restaurants etc. lots of room in the house, lots of beds

Dog-friendly yet fancy! Clean, tastefully designed home. Thoroughly enjoyable stay for both humans and dog!

Unpretentious older house about a 5 min drive into Cowes. Private access to beach. Wallabies and birds came up to the back fence for a feed. Possums ate our Easter eggs in the backyard on Easter Sunday morning egg hunt! We loved Richard’s house. It has a great vibe and plenty of space for three kids, five adults and our dog. Kids loved the table tennis. It was good to be away from the crowds in the Main Street. Beautiful walks along the beach which was so accessible. Richard and crew were great to communicate with.

lovely cottage, garden was great for our dog. Lots to do and enjoy in the surrounding area. Highly recommend a stay.

We had a great stay at Simon’s. It catered for the whole family with kids and dogs. Great location directly opposite the beach, undercover bbq area and kids playground. Big fenced backyard for the dogs and play equipment to entertain the kids. There’s a studio detached from the house which was perfect for a guest with sensory sensitives when peace and quiet was needed. Highly recommended.

A lovely and extremely well-equipped house near the beach. We especially appreciated the proactive and helpful communication from our hosts. Highly recommend!

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.

Just had the best stay at this property! The view and amenities and the distance to the beach really made our holiday. Thanks Mauro for all your help too and answering queries so quickly. Would highly recommend this place!

Ben was an amazing host, really kind, thoughtful and pro active in getting information to us before we even thought of it.

Another amazing stay at Marnie’s lovely beach home. Marnie is an excellent host, the check-in process is a breeze and communication is timely and effective. Location is so handy and my family and I always feel at home there. Will be back!

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.

What an absolutely perfect stay we had. Tamara was an amazing host, helping us organise our elopment wedding from Scotland. The house was huge and well kept. we paid to get the pool heated and it was like a warm bath - we spent ages in there and the kids loved it. If we visit again we would definitely stay there again.

Our stay in Blairgowrie was wonderful. The house exceeded our expectations with spacious rooms throughout and plenty of amenities and some great surprises that were not listed. It is a two minute walk to the beach and a five minute drive to either Blairgowrie and Sorrento shops, cafes and restaurants. Overall, our experience was nothing short of amazing catering to our large family and two little dogs. We highly recommend this beautiful property. Thank you Dave for such a memorable stay. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful property, great location, very clean and well set out. Would stay again. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely week at Somers, walks on the beach, coffee at the general store. The house was lovely, and it was great to emerge from the backyard to the beach - quite some steps though. Pool was good for a quick dip and play. We enjoyed the view - sitting inside (storms) or drying off after a swim. Our doggie was welcomed with treats. Lots of lovely art and an admiral beachcombing collection makes you feel at home.

The Space - The studio was just as pictured and described, with a queen bed and daybed for sleeping. The bathroom and fully equipped kitchenette ensured that the studio provides all that is required. Beautifully presented and clean. It is within a short distance to acland Street arcade, where you will find plenty of shops close by, as well as public transport links. The Host - Wonderful! Banu is an exceptional host, brilliantly attentive without being intrusive. Banu always had local information to share and handy hints throughout our stay. We instantly felt at home here and wish we could have stayed longer. The disappointment would be too great if we were not to return, to this fabulous airbnb, host and amazing part of the world.

Castaway is a great stay. Cozy and clean. View is spectacular. Shops and restaurants are in walking distance. Calm and quiet surrounding. Host is nice, friendly and flexible for our requirements.

This was our second stay here, and we’ll definitely be returning again. The house is clean, well-maintained, and beautifully presented. The location is ideal—just steps from the ocean, where the sound of the waves creates a truly relaxing atmosphere. The hosts are friendly, highly responsive, and communicate exceptionally well, making the experience even more enjoyable.

Paula was extremely welcoming with very clear information and instructions. We felt comfortable in her place the entire time. It’s perfectly positioned in a calm and quiet environment yet easy access to shops and restaurants.

We have stayed in numerous airbnbs across Australia and overseas and this one would have to be one of the best ones we have ever stayed in. The unit had very tasteful decore, was very well equipped and was in a great position to explore this beautiful area. Our hosts were very responsive, told us local attractions and even had the unit heated for our arrival which was very much appreciated on a chilly day. We will definitely come back to explore more of this beautiful region and stay in this lovely apartment.

Our family stayed for just over a month and enjoyed the house! We appreciated the four bedrooms with individual AC/heat and comfy beds and bedding. The view of the ocean was amazing from the two bedrooms on that side of the house. The back green space connects directly to a wonderful beach for walking. The air hockey table was fun, and kiddo really appreciated the large number of books to read! Our kiddo went to Edithvale Primary School while we stayed at the house, and they really enjoyed it. Restaurants and train station are an easy ~10-15 min walk. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay at the cottage! it looked even better than the photos, felt so cosy and was litteraly in front of the beach. Self check-in made the all experience easier, and value for price is great. We'll definitely be back

I loved Merelle’s stunning light filled and perfectly decorated mid century beach house and wish I could have stayed forever! It had everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay from the well equipped and stocked kitchen to the comfortable chairs in the sitting room around the fireplace , canoes /kayaks and beach chairs , washing machine/dryer and old hills hoist and outdoor setting as well as a functional yard for our dog. She has incredible style from the beautiful linen to the retro furnishings and is very eco friendly and an absolute pleasure to deal with, responsive and friendly and very generous with early check in and late check out without even having to ask. And the area has so much to offer / so much to see and do on the Peninsula all within a half hour drive. I will be back for sure! Thank you Merelle 😁

Lovely spot in Seaford. Back of the building complex so very quiet and peaceful. No noise from other residents. Easy walk to the shops of Seaford, either along the beach or along the creek. We did have issues with access through the front door which Sid tried to help with. We ended up just using the key to the back door for coming and going. Great space for a couple, 2 couples or a small family. Maybe a carton of milk for guests would be a nice touch of welcome.
