Beachfront Cabana Cape Town
Jason and Michelle were very responsive, helping and welcoming. The pictures of the place speak for themselves. Who loves to hear the sound of the ocean whilst being quite close to city of cape town finds his spot here.

The Lookout
Highly Recommended! We had an great stay at this beautiful home nestled along the scenic coastline of St. James. The views of the ocean were absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunrise, and being just a short walk from some tidal pools and Muizenberg Beach was a huge bonus. The host was exceptionally welcoming and attentive, offering great recommendations for restaurants, things to do, and hidden gems in the area. We would love to go back!

Sunset at Granula
Mark and Alisa were amazing! They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We broke down a few minutes away and Mark was quick to aid us by fetching my family and luggage while I waited for the tow truck. I have to give a huge shout for this act of kindness. Thank you once again. We enjoyed our stay immensely and will be back God willing.

Victorian Beach Cottage
I've stayed in different rental apartments in Cape Town and Jess' one is the best so far! Perfect location in safe and vibrant Sea Point, best for both morning runs and breakfasts and evening bar hopping as well. The apartment is well equipped with everything for cooking(and the braai!). We stayed for roughly 2 weeks, worked remotely with a lot of zoom meetings and had perfect connection. Jess was in contact with us all the time, communication was superfast.

Beach, Mountain & Pool side home - no loadshedding
Our stay was absolutely lovely! The house offers a beautiful view of Hout bay Harbour and Beach. You can easily and safely walk down the street to the beach, to the main road. We stayed as a family with a 2 year old child and had a wonderful stay. The equipment in the house was sufficient. The location is quite windy but that is Cape Town and Hout bay. Carrie was a great host and offered all the help You need. Thanks again!

Seventh Heaven Sea Point 2-Bed
Katie was a great host! Super accommodating and helpful! We had a great stay in their accommodation and would recommend them for sure. 10/10.

Spacious Oceanfront Historic Carisbrooke House
We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed it. We were two families with 5 teenagers and the house was very spacious and comfortable. We loved the high ceilings and wooden floors and had a memorable time. Thank you for accommodating us.

Kom Breeze Beach House, Arum Place, Kommetjie
The residence is as good as is described on Air BnB. It is the perfect place for a family/friend group. The beaches are in easy walking distance and are lovely. Shopping Centres are nearby and have everything you need. Highly recommended.

Stunning Townhouse 100m walk from Beach
Beach at the front door ! The place was a wonderful end to our South Africa trip. Only winery meters Away from the beach, so you can go to the beach at any time! For those who attach great importance to safety: here you can be completely reassured! Sam was super fast and flexible with communication and it was a joy to be with her. The house is really incredibly convenient and has a washer, dryer and several bathrooms - really great! Thanks Sam for everything !

Namaste
Namaste is in great location, easily walkable for SeaPoint Main Road and the Promenade, and quick to get an Uber into the city of Waterfront. The place is very comfortable and feels like a home rather than an AirBnB. The only slight downside is that the pool doesn’t get much sun as it’s in a courtyard, but we ended up using the hot tub on the roof deck more anyway. Bernie was very responsive and let us know about construction that was happening next door well before we arrived (that didn’t bother us at all to be honest) and provided tips and even came over with supplies for my wife who was feeling unwell one day! Overall highly recommend Namaste and we’d be happy to come back next time.

Gorgeous Clifton 5 bed villa on 4th beach
Allen’s place is lovely! Amos the caretaker took great care of us and to be directly on the beach is so special, I absolutely recommend this place

Villa by the sea
We had a fabulous week and a bit in Maureen's lovely Woodbridge Island home. The house is spacious yet homely and we were very comfortable and had everything we needed. The outdoor area is very pretty and secluded and we enjoyed sitting out there in the evenings. Maureen is a warm and friendly host and always happy to help with any queries. We hope to visit again in the future!

4 bedroom all en suite Villa close to the beach.
Shirley was great from booking until the end of our stay. Always responsive and helpful. The house has an amazing location and was spotless. The team helping to clean are also very friendly and make the stay even easier Couldn’t recommend staying here more

Luxurious home living with pool.Walk to beachfront
Fantastic home for two small families to share. Easy to walk into Camps Bay with all the amenities, lovely comfortable home with pool, everything we could have wished for. Really appreciated the flexible checkout with a later flight. Highly recommend. Rob was the perfect host.

Glen Beach Bungalow Main House
Our stay at Mary-Louise’s villa was incredible! The location on Glen Beach is unbeatable, with breathtaking ocean views and the soothing sound of waves. The villa was spotless, stylish, and had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. Mary-Louise was a fantastic host—helpful and welcoming. Can’t wait to return!

Beach Forest Hideaway
My family and I absolutely loved staying in TJ's pristine and quirky house. Everything was clean, comfortable and inviting. The beautiful beach is within walking distance and the greater Kommetjie area is worth exploring.

The Barefoot Beach Hut - Beachfront, Cape Town
A quaint little spot in a lovely location with super easy beach access. Although bed the bed can accomodate 2 persons, the space is more suited to a single traveller. Safe, with 24hr guarding at entrance. Enroute access to North Coast and easy access south towards V&A Watefront and main city. Very clean and well maintained.

Llandudno Walk to Beach Lock up and Go
My little family had a lovely time at Mandy's and Dean's place, exactly what we needed , we enjoyed the quick access to Llandudno beach after the long winter months in Norway and yet very quite neighborhood and very close to other nice beaches around like Camps Bay, Clifton, Seapoint and Hout Bay, we were also able to enjoy a nice summer braai . The beach was just one street below, just 5 minutes walk from the accommodation, the shops and restaurants are not far away, you have the options of going to Camps Bay or Sea Point, or Hout Bay shopping centre. Kirstenbosch Gardens is not far either for those who enjoy nature and summer concerts, which were also able to squeeze in.The Owner Craig was very welcoming , hospitable and accommodative. The scenic coastal drive to and from the accommodation everyday was breath taking as well. Thank you so much Mandy, Dean and Craig for making our summer vacation worth every penny. We look forward to coming back next time.

Relaxing beach front villa with spectacular views
Stunning views all day long, felt right at home! We stayed there for 3 weeks and absolutely loved the house! Would definitely comeback. The pool/ outside area is even better than the pictures. Nice balcony with always a bit of shade, plenty of lounger chairs and great outside braai. The house is very spacious, has 3 proper rooms with views and 1 another back room that doesn’t have windows or a proper door but still has quite some light and 2 single beds. Appliances could have a refresh but the location, feeling of the house, stunning views and welcoming vibes/ flexibility of the host truly makes up for it! Thanks a lot!

Bakoven Bliss, by Steadfast Africa
I came to visit with friends from Dubai and it was their first time in SA. We absolutely loved the house, excellent location, and a short distance from shops and restaurants. Everyone felt safe and we had no issues. Siya made check-in super easy and was quick to answer any questions. Overall a wonderful experience and unmatched location.

Mangata, panoramic terrace on the ocean &power.
Lisa was the most amazing host and her team was absolutely fantastic. Super responsive, always at hand to help. Thanks Vee for recommendations, help, check-ins and the responses to make sure that we had all we needed for a memorable experience. We had such a fantastic time in Cape Town and the property made it much more excellent. From the most fabulous views, with the property on the water, to the wonderful amenities, the property ticked all the boxes for luxury - 5 star hotel standard super clean (thanks to Irene, our excellent housekeeper), the gorgeous pool and outdoor area, where you can relax and enjoy the most amazing sunset. The property is nicely located, close to an array of fantastic restaurants, we were so spoilt for choice! Then the beautiful Camps Bay beach! Literally a 5 minute stroll from the property. Great stay, comfortable, safe and just breathtaking! Really wish I could give more stars because this gorgeous home is well worth it!!!

Dream Location: Ramshackle flat on the Beach!
Sam's place is located in the perfect spot! Walkable to every single thing you might need. Scenic, on the beach, right next to restaurants, shops, coffee shops and everything else. Loved the easy check in, and unit was perfect with everything we needed. Will definitely 💯 stay again!

Stylish villa on ocean's edge, unique outdoor area
We enjoyed our stay! Great location that looked exactly like the photos. Stunning sunset views. The hosts were very responsive and even helped with sight seeing recommendations. Would definitly recommend this place!
