Rental unit in Saint Kilda

Rental unit in Elwood
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 61 reviewsOceanview - Absolute Beachfront Art Deco Escape
Loved my stay in Olivia‘s home! The pictures do not do it justice! I found myself taking pictures of the tasteful art deco decor. The place is spacious spotlessly clean and welcoming. I was staying alone and felt comfortable It feels private but also within a community. Elwood Beach just is just across the road and great walk along. There are many good restaurant & cafes in the neighbourhood and it’s not far from the Saint Kilda which is just a short term ride away. Or as was my preference the kitchen is very well equipped and there are some good quality grocery stores nearby. I appreciate it nice touches like eggs, wine and pantry supplies. Olivia was very helpful and responsive. I would thoroughly recommend staying here.

Home in Portarlington
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 85 reviewsBellarine Beach Shack
I can't even begin to describe the absolutely incredible holiday and experience we had at the beach shack. The home was exactly as described, although the one thing that shocks you on arrival is the stunning view! It is mesmerising, and photos do not do it justice. Amy was incredibly accommodating from start to finish. The house was IMMACULATE, pristine, fresh and gorgeoussly decorated. It had such a calming, homely feel too it and in all honesty we didn't want to leave. Very well equipped, especially for children with lots of toys, huge backyard and play area and secure fencing, all while being a stone's throw from the beach. This place is something else, you have to see it to believe it and believe me when I say you won't want to leave. Book for longer than you think, future you will thank you. Thank you Amy for being a wonderful host and allowing us to stay and enjoy your precious beach shack. We can't wait to return in the near future.

Lovely view and close to beach and bikepath. A great verandah to sit on and take in view. A bit of a walk to the shop s so had to drive. If we’d had push bikes it’s not far . House was older than I expected but spotless

Rental unit in Frankston
4.65 out of 5 average rating, 20 reviewsBeach-side Retreat
I am so grateful to Aditi & her family for giving me a chance to book a stay with them, especially considering that this was my first time doing so. They were quite responsive & helpful. From the check-in to check-out, there were no hiccups. The apartment is well equipped with most things you'd need. On the first night the apartment was quite cold but then we gave the A/C unit a chance and it warmed up the entire place. It's a cosy quiet little space, that makes you feel right at home. Also, the apartment is a walking distance to most things, including a Police Station. I would definitely recommend it to others, or book again in the future. Thank you.

We had a wonderful stay at Lee's stunning apartment. We are a couple in our eighties and appreciated the great help of Lee's kindly cleaner who helped us to move in !! We wanted a stress free holiday and we certainly experienced that at Lee's. Ate far too many mussels and they were so yummy. Perfectly positioned and close to everything that we could need . Would love to come back in the warmer weather and enjoy time on the balcony! Sandy and Ian Green

We had a wonderufl stay at Ann's place. Ann was extremely helpful and accommodating. The accommodation was spotless and absolutely beautiful with a view over the bay! The location is absolutely fabulous; close to the best St.Kilda has to offer: cafes, restaurants, beaches, walks etc and wonderfully close to public transport. Ann was a fabulous host and was on hand to answer all questions we had. We will definitely be staying again. Many thanks Ann for sharing your beautiful home with us.
