Beachfront vacation rentals in Manly Beach

We stayed over a weekend with our two children and some friends. It was torrentially raining for the first 24 hours which was bad luck and made the journey a bit trickier with cancelled ferries but we made it and the sun came out for us and we had a lovely weekend in the incredible surroundings of Mackerel Beach. It’s such a peaceful and magical spot. Relatively close to Sydney but it feels like you’re so far away when you wake up there. Claudia and Richard gave us detailed and clear instructions which made the logistics so much easier. The kids loved the cricket kit and beach equipment. We all appreciated the kitchen set up as we all like to cook. Eating out on the deck was really special. Will definitely be back to Mackerel beach.

We had a fantastic stay at this apartment in Vaucluse. The location is perfect for exploring Sydney, with a bus stop right outside the door and iconic sights within easy reach. It’s also ideal for families—Parsley Bay is just a short walk away, and our kids loved it. We also enjoyed walks up to Watsons Bay for beautiful sunset photos and pizzas at Watsons Bay Hotel. The apartment itself is fully equipped with everything we needed, and Shane went above and beyond by providing an infant cot and high chair. Communication was excellent—Shane was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend staying here and look forward to our next stay!

Liz and Larry’s place was excellent and better than we expected - the photos don’t do it justice. The location is fantastic and Liz and Larry went the extra mile to make sure our stay was great. The kids loved the canoeing, boating, fishing and access to water right on the doorstep, Thank you !

Central to everything in the Eastern Suburbs overlooking the iconic Coogee Beach. Uber rides less than $20 to everywhere (Darling Harbour, Bondi, City Centre, Harbour Bridge, The Rocks, Bondi Junction) Highly recommended and will stay there again .... when next in Sydney.

Family of 5 + 2 furry ones stayed for a long weekend. Beautiful location and uninterrupted views across the water, was nice just to stay in and enjoy the ambience. However we did venture out and it was so well positioned, close to town, walking tracks, beaches but still quiet and peaceful. Only noise to be heard is the crashing of the waves! Would recommend and stay again.

A fantastic apartment overlooking an iconic location! Stunning. Beautiful to catch the views whilst sitting in the sun on the balcony!

A wonderful place to enjoy a week in Coogee. We loved having the beach and main street with shops and restaurants just a few minutes away, as well as bus stops to explore the rest of Sydney. The house feels like a home and had everything we needed. Sophie is lovely and was very easy to communicate with during our stay. Highly recommend staying here!

Had such a beautiful peaceful stay 🙏the house was perfect and so close to the beach. Beautiful back entertainment area also. And the host was lovely and very fast msg response! I will definitely be booking again

Great week stayed here. All went great and hassle free. Great location and a wonderful view of the sea every morning.

Great flat in a highly desirable location, good amenities in the building, very helpful and responsive host.

We really enjoyed our stay in Manly, the apartment was very comfortable and the location was perfect. Sitting out on the verandah for breakfast and lunch became a regular part of our days. We enjoyed trying the many cafes and restaurants and it was a great base for our walks and swimming. We are hoping to return one days soon!

Tommy was a great host. Very easy instructions to get into the apartment and gave us a late check out upon request. Lovely stay in Sydney and nice and close to everything.

Great location just off the Corso, super accessible to Manly beach and the ferry to Circular Quay. Kirsti was a super host, always accessible and responsive and helpful. Would definitely return, enjoyed my stay. Also loved the A/C, needed in view of the late summer weather.

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.

I highly recommend Jeremy’s accommodation. Very neat, bright and clean. I loved the use of space in the kitchen, the pull out pantry and over top cupboard. There is everything you need. Jeremy was very accommodating and easy to communicate with, and his emails were loaded with very clear descriptions. Thank you so much 😊 I would definitely stay again.

I had a wonderful stay at Christians apartment. It's a great location, clean, everything you need to make you feel at home! Christian was very helpful and very quick to respond! The area is just beautiful and only 5 minutes walk from the beach, shops and restaurants. I will definitely recommend this place and I will be back again next year 🙂

Marea was a great host that made us feel welcomed right from the get go! We enjoyed our stay here and it had perfect access to walking to the beach, restaurants, and a few shops. Great spot as well for being out of the hustle and bustle of Sydney! Explored both the city and beach areas and even played a little golf. Marea’s place was always nice to come back to!

Spectacular location and the little house was an authentic beach shack experience. Loved it!

We had a great few days at Alicia’s place . It was the perfect house for three couples . We had everything we needed . Would definitely recommend !

Excellent hosts and great location combined with fantastic weather made for a wonderful stay.

I honestly can’t say enough about how phenomenal this experience was. I came off of a 20 hour flight and couldn’t wait to relax, cook dinner, and enjoy being on the water. It was the most beautiful sunset I had ever seen and one of the best night’s sleep of my life. From being picked up at the dock to the adventure of the return trip back to shore, I would recommend this incredible stay to anyone!

We had a wonderful two night stay at The Little Black Shack (two adults and two teenagers). From the moment we opened the front door, we were blown away by the water views from each room and the cosy interiors. The house is well equipped for a comfortable stay and is thoughtfully and lovingly presented. We enjoyed discovering the surrounds and falling asleep to the sound of gentle waves lapping against the rocks. It was a short but magical break from a noisy world.

What a superb place! We celebrated a special birthday with the family and could not have asked for anything more. The views were even better than the photos, the house was well equipped and private. An added bonus was the kayaking and SUPing from the private jetty. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Great spot - would stay again
