Beachfront vacation rentals in Altona Beach

Olivia’s apartment was exactly as described. Beautifully appointed, cosy apartment in Elwood. Directly opposite the beach and a short walk to public transport, shops and cafes. The apartment was light filled and with considerable space for two people. The bed was very comfortable, and the soundproofing on the windows made for a very quiet room. We stayed for a short weekend, so didn’t make use of the kitchen - but it had a coffee machine, toaster, oven etc and all the things you might need. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend.

Loved our stay here. Very roomy with everything we needed. Anne was friendly and helpful. The seat at the front window with views across the park and bay towards the city was our favourite spot.

Sheryl's lovely and so is the house

Wonderful! Normally hate scorching heat and summer but staying here made me fall in love with it. Stayed for nearly two months while my house was getting renovated and felt like I was on a long extended holiday. The hosts (Lara and Jente) were very helpful and accomodating with everything. Smaller kitchen than what I was used to, but it worked out in the long run and ended up eating cleaner, fresher meals and got fit as a result. Plus being able to have dinner while watching the sun set from the balcony was absolutely heavenly. Will miss that place for sure. Thank you ladies!

We had another great break at Dianne’s place. The time just flew by and we’re now planning our next visit for next year .

We very much enjoyed this retro beach shack. The balcony and views were exceptional with the shore and very private beach just across the road. Was quiet time to visit. Loved having the pool table. Great place to unwind and relax with furry friends. Will definitely visit again.

Friendly, flexible and welcoming. Just a wonderful experience and will visit again.

Sam’s place was perfect to come and relax. You couldn't get a better location for a beach holiday. The house itself was cozy and clean, with plenty of space to accommodate all guests. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

A recently refurbished property. Spacious enough for two. Excellent location for the beach and nearby restaurants and bars. There is a major road outside that gets busy early each day. Highly recommended, great value for money.

Charlie’s place was clean and comfortable to stay in. His fast responses and clear instructions were greatly appreciated and made communication very easy. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

Wonderful location to stay in! We had a car and the private parking space in the gated area was perfect. We also took public transportation and the tram was a short walk. We did so much on our week long stay, and after a full day of activities it was great to come back to our place. The bathrooms were great, instant hot water with no wait! The beach is just a block or two away, and we gathered a lot of shells to collect, there were millions on the shore! We had a full week including a few day trips. South Melbourne Market and Prahran market were wonderful markets. We drove out to Yarra Valley and did a U Pick fruit tour, we did a small walk at Rainforest Gallery, we did a Funky Farm tour(so cool!), and we even saw the Penguin Parade which is a must do! Some details, what worked best for us was parking the car and then using the key card to go through the passenger gate to get in/out of the front door. There is also a small remote to unlock open/close the car gate. Thanks Gemma!!

We had a great stay at the apartment. it is close to public transport with different tram options, supermarket, and a 20 min walk to St Kilda Beach and Acland Street. there are lots of local restaurant options, bars and the roof top salt chlorinated pool is an added bonus with sensational views towards the sea, over Albert Park and towards the city. Simon is a great host -friendly, with easy communication. The apartment is clean and well equipped. While it is on a busy road, it has double glazing and we found it really quiet and also didn't hear the neighbours. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a fantastic stay in this spacious and airy 60's-style apartment, which was perfect for our group of six ladies travelling for a sports event. The apartment had everything we needed—plenty of bedding, towels, pillows, and even extra mattresses. It was immaculately clean and very comfortable, making it feel like a home away from home. Sarah, our host, was incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating from start to finish, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The location was ideal and made getting around super easy. We had such a comfortable and enjoyable stay—highly recommended!

What a fabulous spot to enjoy what Melbourne has to offer. The views are truly spectacular and the apartment is well equipped. Would definitely stay again.

The owner was friendly and kind and warmly added a bunch of welcome snacks and drinks.The room was taken care of as new, furnished with great chic, and a very satisfying experience.

We had a lovely stay at Donna's space. It was clean, cozy and comfortable and we felt right at home. Everything that we could have needed for our stay was there, and the proximity to the beach was wonderful. Donna was great at providing us with clear information about check-in and check-out as well. Would definitely stay here again!

Stunning location and beautiful unit that has everything you could need. We really appreciated the extra towels, kids cutlery, excellent TV and communication provided. Easy to check in and out. Would recommend this location. Thanks so much!

Really great location. The place is really well set up, and Julienne is extremely friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb in St Kilda! The self-check-in was seamless, making arrival super convenient. The place was neat, well-furnished, and very comfortable, easily accommodating four people. The location was perfect, right opposite a beautiful park and playground, with great restaurants nearby and just a 5-minute walk to the tram stop—super handy for getting around. The neighbourhood was lovely, and the neighbours were friendly, adding to the overall charm of the stay. The host was very responsive and made sure everything was smooth. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting St Kilda! Would definitely stay here again.

This was everything we wanted! We were a large group of friends visiting the area for a birthday celebration and to visit wineries. The accomodation fit us all comfortably (as long as you dont mind some bunk beds) and the views from the upstairs loungeroom were magical - think ocean, black swans and beautiful sunsets. We had some trouble getting to the accomm as we came off the ferry and its a 45 min walk. Thought there would be ubers or taxis but there isnt much in the area. Luckily some locals saved us and took us there. Loved our stay and would visit again.

I have stayed at Thackeray many times. it's the perfect location on the beach.. great bike rides... easy to park... close to everything and Alyce is continually upgrading equipment in her home so everything works! highly recommended. a unique place with beautiful character.

We had another wonderful stay at Josephine’s beautiful beach condo. Perfect location! Great cafes & restaurants all in walking distance. Highly recommend!

Stunning view. Great range of things in the kitchen. Basic discussions etc, but everything we needed with enough beds. It's a 40 minute walk into town, with bike path right out the front. Bring a pillow if you like anything that isn't soft.
