Beachfront vacation rentals in Africa

5 out of 5 stars! I absolutely loved my stay at this beachfront house. The views were breathtaking, the amenities were excellent, and the hosts were incredibly hospitable. Everything about the house was perfect - it had everything I needed and more. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with a stunning view.

We had an amazing stay at The Beach House! The views were absolutely breathtaking, with the beach visible from almost every corner of the house. Falling asleep to the sound of waves and waking up to the fresh sea breeze made it such a relaxing getaway. The house itself was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. It was also a big bonus that it’s pet-friendly—our dog loved having the space to roam, which isn’t always easy to find. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. We’ll definitely be back!

Corna was extremely hospitable and responsive. It was a delight for us to stay by the ocean and hear the ocean, which is one of the best things in the world for me. The children enjoyed playing in the sea, and I enjoyed being able to wake early and sit by the water, while my sister enjoyed sitting by the seaside and watching the sun set. We regret not staying longer. The housekeeper was also very pleasant and wellmannered.

Waking up to a sea view was a treat, but the real surprise was discovering a cupboard full of old board games and puzzles I remembered from my childhood. We had such fun playing together as a family. Long beach walks, friendly chats with locals — it all added to the charm. It’s not fancy, but it’s full of heart. A magical spot by the sea, perfect for making memories with the kids.

Iris was warm and welcoming and made our stay very pleasant. Will highly recommend this B&B to those wanting to experience a private getaway with the oceanic views and sounds that lifts one spirit. The place was beautifully decorated and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Thank you to Mariette for a great stay in a great house. We loved the place and excellent communication.

We just returned from a (too brief!) stay at Hans' place and are already planning our next visit. The house is modern, immaculate and comfortable, but the location is absolutely incredible. The kids would have happily spent our entire visit down at the beach, and we enjoyed starting and ending our days (with coffee or wine in hand) walking down the path to the shore and sitting on a bench taking in the view while they splashed about. On our next visit we will plan fewer excursions and build in more down time to spend at the house just enjoying the property and the amazing location.

A beautiful spot right on the beach. The view is spectacular. The house has everything your heart desires. We really enjoyed our stay there. Five stars and more. Safe and well worth it. Dominique was a great host. We will definitely be back!

We as a family loved staying here. Really comfortable for a big family. Great braai area sheltered from the wind with wonderful sea views. I am not a fan of residential areas butbI did enjoy Kommetjie over what is supposed to be a busy weekend. Long walks and cold swims with very little humans.

Wonderful place. Beautiful house, nice interior with a perfect location directly at the beach. We will definitely come back to this place in case we are back in Cape Town.

Our party of 6 adults stayed for 4 nights. Mailinda was extremely friendly, professional. responsive and helpful. She answered all our questions and helped arrange car rental. Daily service/cleaning service with clean towels and cleaning was beyond our expectations. The staff were courteous and friendly. The accommodations were comfortable, decor was lovely, and the location was fabulous. Located right on the ocean with private access to the beach was wonderful. Easy 5 minute drive to Oia allowed us to time our visits to avoid the busy tourist times. The island was very easy to explore. Wifi is available although the signal could be better. All in all we loved our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Santorini.

The place is amazing, it is our second time staying here. Great for kids and beachfront access a few steps away. Probably the best place to stay in Ballito.

Very beautiful accommodation, matched expectations! We had some problems with the electricity unfortunately, otherwise great!

Thank you so much to Elsie for being a super host once again. She went the extra mile in accommodating us during our stay. The unit is outstanding with great views and modern furniture & design. We got to see dolphins & whales during our stay which are an amazing bonus and the weather was perfect.

Simply lovely stay, right on the beach. Peaceful and quiet surroundings, so we were really able to relax. We felt safe and secure. Lovely to sit on the deck, seeing the sun go down over the sea. It is a pity we could only stay 2 nights, we are planning to come back for a longer stay. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at Nikkis place. the home was perfect. Everything you need. A relaxed beach feel with the furniture, colour scheme and decor. stunning bathrooms and beautiful bed linen. The pool was a super extra and nice and close to the entertainment area. Braai facilities are great, the games room with the pool table, table tennis and dart board made for endless entertainment and lots of laughs throughout the stay. 30 seconds walk to the beach from house. and the bonus of having the dogs with us with the whole family. huge grass garden for playing and parking space. a Wholesome all round Wonderful Experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Ondine. The house was great, clean and well kept. It has a lovely grass area and pool with a beautiful view. Leon was a great host! Would definitely go back again.

Marc’s place was absolutely amazing. The entire home is extremely well designed and furnished. Amazing entertainment areas and right on the best beach in Langebaan. What a great find.

We had a fantastic stay at Ap's place! The apartment was impeccably clean and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location offered great privacy, and we really appreciated the tranquil atmosphere. Ap, Gerny, and Robert were all wonderful hosts – very welcoming and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The hospitality was top-notch, and it made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, we were extremely happy with our experience and will definitely recommend this place to others. Thank you again for such a wonderful stay!

Absolutely beautiful location, perfect for a quiet relaxing break. The flat was clean, spacious & private. You can sit inside & look over the ocean or outside on the patio with palm trees and a tropical garden around you, always listening to the sea and the birds. I loved the outside shower to wash the sand off or just cool down. Lesley was lovely and very welcoming and accommodating and can give great recommendations for a day out. There is a quiet beach across the road with a tidal pool and a small convenience shop with friendly staff & a laundromat a 2 minute walk away. I would definitely stay again! Highly recommended.

What an unbelievable location. I do not think you can get closer to the beach. Great host who was always in comms when required. We will definitely be Back one day.

I traveled to Crete alone and was looking for a place where I am both central and close to the beach and have a way to find peace. The property offers around package. The apartment is characterized above all by the well-equipped kitchen and the two balconies, which offer both space in the sun and food. As a host, Georges is very kind and helpful and is available for any kind of questions. He gave me helpful tips for the region and got in touch for car sharing. A car should definitely be rented here, as the island is very spacious and you can only explore part of it by bus. The connection to Heraklion is very good. Overall, I had a wonderful week and a great stay in Costal Key! The only drawback due to the season: the beach bars and taverns are not yet open at this time and I had a construction site outside the door for the first days.

Trying to avoid being cliche and saying that this place truly is Nirvana. I think this is our absolute favorite place in the world. From the lush gardens and pool, rooftop with jacuzzi, literally on the ocean. This place is just incredible. Angad is so incredibly responsive and proactive. Fred and the team are all amazing kind people too. The bathroom with dual shower is immaculate and amazing. In all our travels no Airbnb or hotel has lived up to the standard set by Angad. The lighting in the pool and surrounding the garden at night is so beautiful and peaceful. Even though you are so close to great restaurants and the center, you feel like you are in a private Oasis.

I lived in Cape Town for 25years and brought my family back to experience its wonders. This Beach cottage was the absolute best base to do this from. We felt safe and this heavenly location is second to none! I swam multiple times a day and the view is second to none which spectacular views of Lions head (which we hiked up-strongly recommend ) and Clifton Beach. I will add that the aircon is not super strong, but David was on it and sent out a repairman to check if anything could be done. This in no way detracted from our dream of a stay! We will return in a heartbeat and will recommend this beach cottage to anyone planning a visit to CT.
