Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Central Coast

We loved Janine and Henk's place the moment we stepped inside. The place felt like a home away from home and was so tranquil being up in the trees especially as it was raining outside. It was a short drive to Avoca Beach with amenities close by.

Kylie's place was the perfect place to stay for peaceful weekend away with a group of friends.

Had a fantastic stay at Donna’s cottage in Kahibah. The cottage is very spacious and homely and makes you feel totally relaxed and comfortable from the moment you walk in. Visited with my partner and grown up daughter who also both loved the place. The location is also great with the coffee shop across the road, which we visited a couple of times on our two day stay as well as handy local stores. Also spent the day at fantastic Dudley beach before a sunset walk at Glenrock conservation area, both within a 5 minute drive.

We had a great 3 week stay at Tom's Airbnb. It was central to where we needed to be and was very spacious, light and airy. We enjoyed the indoor greenery with the 20-plus leafy plants throughout. Loved the beautiful bathroom which is quite new, with double shower heads at each end, plus a bath. The 14 stairs at the front were a bit of a challenge, but that was all to do with my mobility issues. Tom was very upfront about the stairs, and extremely kindly allowed us to park our car next to the stairs to give me easier access. His mum Lorraine, who lives in the adjoining unit, was extremely friendly and helpful, and nothing was too much trouble for her. The front terrace was a lovely sunny spot to sit. I'm used to having a clothes dryer for ensuring fluffy towels, but thankfully the front terrace was a great area to have our washing dry on the clothes airers provided, even if the towels weren't fluffy. Whilst there was no dishwasher, it wasn't a major issue to wash up by hand.

Amazing place! Beautiful view, spacious bedrooms and living area, and private. Lee was very responsive and accommodating.

We both enjoyed our time at Ettalong the cottage is close to the beach and local restaurants, it has a warmth and charm that is very relaxing. Emily gave us a lot of good local tips and Phil helped us with a key issue.

Tara is a great host, responds to messages very quickly and she is very mindful about the needs of the guest. I visited on public holiday, so she has kept all the kitchen essentials for us.

We had an amazing stay at Halina’s! From booking until the end, Halina was very helpful and responsive to all of our inquiries. The place is absolutely stunning :)

We really enjoyed our stay in Manly. Jenny and Olly’s place was a beautiful character home just like the photos. The only thing I would comment on is that the hills are quite steep if you’re walking back from the beach/wharf area so if you have bags with you or people that are less mobile it would be best to drive or get public transport.

Donna's place was fantastic for our family get together after visiting Newcastle for the day. It is in a great location, close to the beach with a great coffee shop down stairs. The apartment is spacious with great views. Donna is a very responsive host and extremely flexible with check in and check out. We will be back.

Great convenient place to stay. We were at Urbn Surf for the weekend and could walk there. Great Korean BBQ restaurant close by too. Steven met us late in the evening to check us in which was very much appreciated.

Our second stay here...and we just booked a third! Awesome location for the best of Newcastle's coastal walks, cafes and restaurants. Great apartment with everything needed for a short or longer stay. Pool a bonus too. Fast becoming our regular 'home' when in town.

A spacious and comfortable self-contained flat, overlooking the forest and the ocean. We had an excellent time over four weeks. Communication with a most hospitable owner was perfect. We highly recommend, and hope to be back some day!

Great stay in a fabulous location. Apartment is very cute and comfortable. Lovely eclectic vibe. Bianca is a great host - very helpful and welcoming. Will definitely stay there again :)

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.

Had a beautiful stay at Carly and Katie’s Felt right at home once settled in Great location, easy to get in and out with the car daily. Hosts quick to respond to any questions and found the recommendations booklet left in the apartment a great touch and much appreciated for the stay

The location, the view and the sound of the ocean waves made our stay in this apartment a wonderful experience! We had no trouble communicating with our hosts, who were nice and helpful! We can only recommend the apartment for future guests.

What a fantastic, iconic view! A pretty & quiet location. A fabulous place to stay on our last night in Australia. A real treat. Thank you for sharing your wonderful flat , will definitely recommend.

The apartment and the amenities are outstanding. We returned here because we had to extend staying away from our house because of renovations. This was our first choice and u cannot recommend it enough. What really does need highlighted is how much of an outstanding history Connie is. She was so understanding, compassionate, super friendly and flexible. She deserves 10 stars.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Alan’s place. He is a great host, provided clear instructions on how to access the property and helpful guide book once we had access to the place. The house was clean and had all the amenities we needed. I highly recommend Alan’s place if anyone is looking for a temporary stay in Dee Why.

We had a wonderful stay in this stylish and light filled apartment. The balcony is a particularly inviting space with its colourful pot plants, comfortable seats and tranquil water views. Di is welcoming and generous host providing so many thoughtful touches and local recommendations.

There’s little else to add to all the glowing reviews of this comfortable stay at Whale Beach. We stayed here with our young son for 6 nights and it was a lovely home away from home, in a space with both character and all modern conveniences, in a beautiful corner of Australia. It’s one of the most memorable stays we’ve had on Airbnb.

Exactly as described, and exactly as looks in the photos. Lovely 2 bedroom apartment for us to stay in with our daughter while visiting our family on the Nothern Beaches.

This apartment was absolutely perfect, so pretty and equipped with everything you need, the location was beautiful, the beach 3 mins away down some beautiful steps, we will definitely be returning!
