Entire apartment with Ocean and Cape Woolamai view
Sandra is an amazing host and was very helpful with all of our requests and very prompt with responses. We enjoyed the place so much and will definitely be number 1 place to stay when we visit again! The place was really clean and the area accommodates to both people and pets. Sandra ensured we had no issues at all with our stay and was flexible with our schedule as well. Highly recommend! It’s an all year, all weather suitable accomodation place! The board games at the residence were also ideal for when staying indoors! Beautiful place with beautiful views!

Just Beachy
The place was very comfortable and extremely handy being close to everything. Sally was very obliging to all our requests. We would fully recommend this place to anyone who is considering staying there!

The Loft Phillip Island
This home was an absolute gem peaceful, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully designed with high-quality touches throughout. From the luxurious bed and crisp linens to the plush couch and spotless bathroom, every detail made the stay feel indulgent and comfortable. One thing that really stood out was the water pressure strong enough to actually wash your hair, which is surprisingly rare in most Airbnbs. And unlike many places, there were no leaks or awkward plumbing quirks in the shower just clean, functional design. The host was warm, responsive, and genuinely accommodating, making the experience feel seamless from start to finish. This place is a perfect escape for couples looking to unwind in comfort and style. I’ll absolutely be coming back 5 stars, hands down.

Beachfront Bliss!
Our stay was wonderful! Andi was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The house was spotless and well-equipped with everything we needed. The environment was peaceful and serene, perfect for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommend this place for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Secluded Ventnor getaway.
A beautiful little place. Everything you need. A comfy bed and couch. You’ll need a car to get around. Super peaceful and the bath was fantastic at night

Cowes Central
Perfect apartment and location for a small family to get away. Loved being walking distance to everything. The apartment is really well set up and the balcony is a huge bonus.

On the Broadway
Mari place is peaceful and well appointed. Location is great. On checkout day, Mari was accommodating to let us store our luggages until we get back from the cruise tour at 12pm. We have a pleasant stay! Thank you Mari.

The Lite House
Lovely little apartment in a great location.

Island Family Home
We had a great time at Angelo’s place. The table tennis and kids toys helped to keep the kids busy. Beautiful 10 min walk to the beach and 10 mins drive to everything. Quiet and peaceful at night. Thankyou for having us!

100m from beach, 600m from town. Its a Shore Thing
So worth the stay! Incredible location and so much to do nearby. Family friendly place with so much room to play in outdoors. Highly recommend

Sunderland House
We stayed here for just over a week and did not want to leave! It’s the perfect accom for a young family. You can tell the home has been renovated with a lot of thought put into it. We loved the style and the setup of the backyard, was lovely to relax outside. The barbecue was handy and we did a lot of cooking - the kitchen also has everything you need and is well equipped. We spent a lot of time out the back or sitting out on the front deck. It is walking distance to the beach, 2 min drive to the patrolled beach. It’s a great base for visiting the island. We were truly sad to leave, we had such a fabulous time. Angus was easy to reach and responded quickly to any messages. Highly recommend this home, we would love to return. Thank you

The Barefoot Beach House - Dogs Welcome
We had a wonderful long weekend at Wendy's Place...Everything was as listed.Wendy was very helpful and we loved the early checkin and Wendy gave us a very late check out. Would recommend to anyone...Easy access to beach at end of street and our dog loved the beach.

Cowes Central Beach House
My friend group of 10 and myself absolutely loved out stay at this place. The house was everything we wished for and more. It was in such a fantastic location within walking distance to everything we needed (shops, beach, etc) and the house itself was incredible. So much to do inside with lots of options including pool table, table tennis, basketball, swing set, xbox and more. I would definitely recommend this stay.

NETHERBY WATERS BEACH HOUSE- Phillip Island
We've just returned from the most magnificent 3-night stay at NETHERBY WATERS BEACH HOUSE! It was the perfect house for a super comfortable multi-generational family holiday. The living area is spacious and homely with a fabulous view of the ocean from the sunny deck where birds come to feed! The bedrooms are comfortable and clean and the bathrooms were so well stocked with all of the essentials! In particular it was fantastic to be able to cook in the excellent kitchen and have everything required to hand without having to stock up on essentials like oil, herbs and spices. The hosts were fast and responsive and very accommodating of our requests around check in dates and check out times. We look forward to booking the home for another stay in the future.

Ticks all the boxes - views galore.
Our fourth stay at Deb and Mary’s was just as relaxing and comfortable as it always is. We highly recommend this gorgeous house, both for its location and for how modern and well-equipped it is. The two living areas make it a fantastic choice for an extended family group. Thanks Deb for being the best communicator and for making us feel at home. We’re already missing it and looking forward to next year’s visit.

Beautiful view from 3BD cottage
This place is beautifully located and cosy. We watched the sunset every night and enjoyed chilling out on the deck outside. It was so peaceful and lovely being so close to the beach. We loved it so much that we stayed on extra night. Simon is a responsive and friendly host too!

126Chic apt in the heart of Sorrento
I highly recommend this place for its style, location, and the host's responsiveness. The living area is enormous, beautifully styled, and it feeds to a spacious balcony. Despite it sitting above a cafe it's very peaceful and quiet. The location was perfect.

Unit 6 , Block C, PIT 1 Bedroom Apartment
I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The apartment was clean and well-maintained, with a nice balcony to relax on. It was conveniently located just 10 minutes from the Phillip Island Circuit, and close to the beach where I spent an enjoyable day. There were plenty of nice restaurants and supermarkets nearby, and it was also close to the bus station for trips to Melbourne. The host was understanding and kind, making my stay even better.

Modern 2BR Apartment Across Calm White Sandy Beach
Lovely spot in Seaford. Back of the building complex so very quiet and peaceful. No noise from other residents. Easy walk to the shops of Seaford, either along the beach or along the creek. We did have issues with access through the front door which Sid tried to help with. We ended up just using the key to the back door for coming and going. Great space for a couple, 2 couples or a small family. Maybe a carton of milk for guests would be a nice touch of welcome.

One bed Studio apartment with fantastic views
Was an excellent stay and Steve was a helpful and responsive host. Place was lovely, clean and had great amenities, would highly recommend!

Martha Cove Magic
I had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful home with my family, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The space itself is absolutely lovely—charming, immaculately clean, and tastefully decorated. It felt like a true home away from home. The amenities were top-notch, with everything we needed and more. The kitchen was fully equipped, and there were thoughtful touches throughout the space that made our stay even more enjoyable. The location was also fantastic—quiet, peaceful, and within walking distance of a playground, cafe and scenic spots. The host was incredibly communicative and responsive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a smooth and enjoyable stay. We truly felt taken care of. Overall, this home exceeded all of our expectations. Whether you're looking for a relaxing getaway or a convenient base to explore the area, I highly recommend booking this place. I can't wait to return!

Long Island Beachside Studio Apartment
Friendly, flexible and welcoming. Just a wonderful experience and will visit again.

Modern 2 bedroom apartment right in village.
The place was comfortable and cosy, easy to find and conveniently located. Karen was friendly and responsive, overall it is a lovely condo for anyone looking to stay in Mt Eliza for a few days.

Brydon House Style and comfort. Dog friendly
Wonderful place to stay, with easy drive to great restaurants and nice walk to the beach. The outside blockout blinds make for secure, ensconced feeling. Great for maintaining a dark sleeping environment with less road noise. My partner and I loved our stay, and found the apartment easily provided a relaxing environment to unwind in. Also, giant seahorse 👌
