Beachfront vacation rentals in Melbourne

It was a great location - we were going to the Grand Prix and it was within walking distance. The beach was nearby and there were a number of options for eating out. Hannah was a great host and it was easy to stay there.

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.

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!

A stone throw from the beach, coffee shops, street and train station. Nice spot to relax and unwind. Janelle was helpful very kind. I’ll be staying here again.

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.

A fantastic location and very friendly accommodation. The apartment is beautiful. 🙏

I lived in Port Melbourne and nearby years ago so it was wonderful to be back. The apartment was perfectly located, just beside the promenade, handy for those morning walks, strolls, runs, and super for a nothing walk on to the beach for yoga or a dip. The main street was a few min walk for cafes, restaurants, and supermarkets and shops. We also got a week pass for the South Pacific Health Club Gym. A really good gym, great views, only a 3 min walk, reasonably priced, 24/7, and very friendly. The 109 tram is again a few min walk. So handy for South Melbourne Market, The CBD, or the Australian Open. The apartment itself is really well decorated and kitted out. A sense of openness and yes beautiful views. Such a bonus to have the shared pool too.

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

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.

Comfortable stay. The host was very welcoming. David generously offered me a lift to the station as I had a lot of heavy bags. Good location, very close to the train station and beach. Plenty of space too:)

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!

We had a fantastic stay at Selina’s bnb. Everything was clean, easily accessible and perfect for our stay. The location was incredible, walking distance to everything! We will definitely be back soon

Beautiful house, great interior design. Very comfortable. Had everything needed. Family of 5 with young kids and house was perfect for family and good location to access the beach. Amazing we could bring our dog. We needed garage access which this property had. Couple of things to maybe be aware of - we didnt pick up in the listing (unsure if I overlooked) :Train runs 1x house away really reguarly and continued through the night -potentially disturbing. We specifically seeked a house with a pool and paid extra for this. Aim was to hang around pool for the weekend. But pool was cold and only 1/5th of us could go in and tolerate it. For us this spoilt our weekend plans and we felt we paid extra for something we couldnt use. If we had known we would have paid less for a house without a pool. This for us did spoilt our trip, kids were disappointed. But this may have been listed and overlooked, or our fault for not asking, and was specificaly a need for us- you may be different :)

Great place. Thankyou

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!

Quaint little home in a great location, close to good cafes, restaurants, the beach and a comfortable walk to Albert Park. Andrew was very responsive and easy to communicate with at every stage. We all enjoyed our stay, thank you :)

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

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.

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 .

This is a lovely house in a beautiful location right on the beach. The layout of the place with its open plan kitchen and living area and deck for lounging around on was perfect for us. We also loved the Ping Ping table and there are plenty of other games to choose from as well. The host communicated everything very well, which is a big plus in my books. Would highly recommend.
