Cottage vacation rentals in Rye

Our two families had a lovely stay at Florence’s place. Highlights included quick and easy access to beautiful Somers beach and forest trails, expansive outdoor space complete with jacuzzi, firepit, large picnic table and native gardens and finally, high quality linens, furnishings and kitchen items. Highly enjoyable, thank you!

The house was very welcoming and beautifully decorated…The sofa and bed were incredibly comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. The garden is stunning and private and the outdoor tub was sublime. There are few words that can adequately describe how blissful it was to enjoy it while staring up at the stars and with the roar of St Andrew’s beach in the background. A truly wonderful property and we enjoyed our stay immensely.

Fantastic location and nice, clean space. Really enjoyed our stay :)

Loved staying at this beautiful home in Somerset. Nice short walk to the beach, park and cafe. We loved an evening in the spa, watching all the birds as the sun was setting. Highly recommend.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Sea Salt BNB! The cozy atmosphere made us feel right at home. Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. The location was ideal for exploring the nearby beach and local attractions. We especially loved the charming decor and the little touches that made our stay extra special. We can’t wait to return for another relaxing escape!

Lovely and homely, everything we needed and more. Great place for walks, or riding bikes. The swimming pools were great. The local restaurant was very welcoming and friendly as well.

What a beautiful place for a relaxing weekend away! We spent most of the weekend in the backyard enjoying the fire pit, the jacuzzi and the deck. There is everything you need there (except a dishwasher but tbh, you don’t need it!), the renovated bathroom is lovely and modern, the beds were so comfortable and the couch wonderful to nap in. Mark was great at communication and prompt, also allowing flexible check in and out. Would definitely come back! Definitely one of the better value Mornington listings given how great the backyard was. I think the photos dont do it justice! Thank you Mark

Loved our stay at this gorgeous Airbnb stay. Recommend to everyone

Bigger than we expected actually, which was great for all guests. Madeleine even had some local eggs, butter and juice for guest use. A book with local recommendations. Proactive communication. Easy check in, easy stay.

We had a lovely 3 night stay at Nicole's. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. It is in a very quiet, relaxing area. Close to a beautiful beach and so good for walks. We would highly recommend the property. Our 2 old greyhounds also loved the beautiful grassed property. Thanks Nicole!

The property was perfectly equipped for our needs and Steve was a wonderful host, very responsive and welcoming. The location is ideal just a short stroll to the beach, which was a huge bonus for us! The neighborhood is also very quiet, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway. We were also thrilled to discover that the famous Penguin Parade is just a stone's throw away! And if you're looking for more adventures, the Chocolate Factory and Churchill Island are only a 20-minute drive away. Our kids were thrilled to spot kangaroos roaming freely outside the house - what an unforgettable experience! And sitting outside on the property's seats, surrounded by lush greenery and listening to the sweet songs of birds, was pure bliss. The kids had such an amazing time that they're already asking to go back! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Steve's place to anyone looking for peaceful, and nature-filled getaway. Thank you, Steve, for a fantastic experience.

Excellent accommodation with great access to Cowes. We were able to walk everywhere we needed to in Cowes and only used the car when we went to the Penguins Parade. Thoroughly enjoyed our quick Phillip Island getaway. Thanks Jo and Mike.

perfect location for a family getaway, so much room for the kids to run around. highly recommend

Andrew’s place was the perfect getaway for our group of five (plus our furry friend!). The space was spacious, comfortable, and surrounded by beautiful nature, making it a peaceful retreat. We especially loved the garden—it was a great spot to relax and take in the surroundings. Inside, the home was well-equipped and cozy, providing the perfect setting to unwind after exploring the area. It’s clear that a lot of care has gone into making the space welcoming and enjoyable. We’d absolutely recommend staying here and would love to visit again!

Shackalicious is a delightful property in a lovely spot. Really nicely decorated, comfy living spaces, and our host Shelley was super responsive at all times.

Jan's place was perfect for our four night stay on the Mornington Peninsula. The cottage was cute and had everything that we needed.

Great house to stay in a great location, would recommend

The property was absolutely beautiful.. amazing design and surroundings. Christine was so helpful with checking in and making our weekend run so smoothly! Cannot recommend this property enough! Would love to stay again. Thank you. X

It was a lovely place to stay. Clean, tidy and toddler friendly with not a lot of unnecessary things to get into, which was appreciated! Rooms were a decent size and had space for setting up our portacot without having to move furniture. Michael was kind and responsive. Would stay here again.

Such a cute cottage and very tastefully decorated. Loved the alpacas in the yard too!

This is a home away from home in a very peaceful location. Beautiful Red Rocks beach is only 5 minutes walk, GP circuit is 10 minutes drive, grocery stores in Cowes only 5 minutes drive. The place has everything you could possibly need for a very comfortable stay, long or short. Plenty of heaters for cold days and good air-conditioning for the hot weather. Huge smart TV and lots of games for entertainment. Lovely outside sitting areas, even a playground for kids. The place is gated and you can park your car inside the yard, so feels very secure. Comfortable beds with lots of pillows and extra blankets, large bath towels (not something you often get in rental places) and beach towels. Lots of storage for clothes. Kitchen is very well equipped, including a selection of coffee machines for all tastes. Brian is very friendly and an excellent communicator. He made me feel very welcome and right at home. I'd highly recommend his house for a wonderful holiday 👍👍👍

Absolutely loved this place. Beautiful views of the water, looks even nicer than the pictures and the house is fully stocked with everything you could want for a nice weekend on Phillip Island. We watched the water, wallabies, bunnies and birds from the deck, ventured into town a bit, saw the penguins and koalas and had an all around great time. Debbie graciously offered us a late check out and left us some nice goodies for our arrival. Would come back in a heartbeat!

absolutely love this place. stunning spacious property and in a nice location. wish our trip was longer

Thank you David for a lovely stay! The property was exactly as described and clear, prompt communication throughout our stay. Would definitely stay again and recommend highly to other guests.
