Beachfront vacation rentals in Browns Bay

This was a wonderful stay in a beautiful property with a fantastic host. Nothing was too much trouble, super responsive. What a great experience!

Great place to stay, just a few flat steps from Palm Beach.. recommend.

Michael was the host that we worked with and he was wonderful!! He was very responsive, friendly and gave us great recommendations! We really enjoyed our stay!!

Thoughtful hosts, wonderful property

This was a fabulous place to stay with a young family. Proximate to the beach and playground. Easy one level house with great outdoor area including a trampoline and spa. Would recommend.

we've stayed at 6 bachs in Piha now, and this is the best. not cheap, but you get what you pay for. great facilities, great decor and lots of nice touches and location is unbeatable with views over the beach. one thing is that the upstairs and downstairs are 2 separate units both with their own bathrooms and kitchens. this would be great for 2 couples, one with a kid or two, but the levels are not internally connected. we just had it for the two of us and never went to the lower level.

Had a lovely stay at Kathy’s place. Beds were comfy, kitchen well stocked, and really enjoyed the view from the dining area. Kathy was very helpful and kind. Weather had us changing plans but hope to come back in the future!

It was my first family holiday since 2017. The AirBnB was a new experience for me, but the hosts were respectful and their place was wonderful! I was able to bring our 2 x dogs which was great and I took them for a walk every morning, greeting others with their dogs on the way. My adult children loved being able to hang out at the beach and sit in the hot tub or use the kayaks on offer. My husband unfortunately worked every day but was able to enjoy to peace and quiet at night. Having a washing machine was practical and saved my workload when we returned home. We visited Charlies Gelato which was yum and I was able to purchase some beautiful wine from Brick Bay vineyard. Matakana was disappointing it felt like Auckland with long lines of traffic and expensive products however, the lady at Honest Chocolate was lovely. We fished off Scotts Landing and caught 5 legal snapper. All in all, I would highly recommend this AirBnB, absolutely the best holiday in a very long time. Thank you.

Due to a mistake with Airbnb, I had to check out later than expected but Gali was more than welcoming and accommodating. A kind, friendly and interesting host. Great location to walk down to the beach, or just hang out on the balcony and take in the views. Gorgeous, can’t wait to come back.

Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen!! Die Unterkunft ist eine 15 min. Fährenfahrt von Auckland entfernt. Zum Devonport Ferry Terminal geht man ungefähr 20 min. zu Fuß. Die Zeit vergeht jedoch sehr schnell da der Weg direkt am Meer entlang geht. Der „Cheltenham Beach“ Strand ist vielleicht 50m von der Unterkunft entfernt, perfekt für entspannte Abende am Meer. Die Unterkunft selbst ist sauber, mit frisch renoviertem Bad und schönem Wohnzimmer mit sensationellem Ausblick zum Meer. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet und es war alles wirklich sehr sauber! Nun zu den Besitzern der Unterkunft. Bruce und Karen sind mit Abstand die nettesten Airbnb Hosts die ich bisher kennenlernen durfte. Nicht zu aufdringlich und immer extrem hilfsbereit und fürsorglich. Ich kann das Airbnb jedem herzlich empfehlen!

The host was incredibly helpful throughout my stay, always available to answer any questions or provide recommendations for things to do in the area. The place itself was spacious, clean, and tidy - everything I could ask for in an Airbnb. The amenities were top-notch, and the decor was modern and stylish. I felt right at home as soon as I arrived. The location was also perfect - with nearby transport available, it was easy to explore the surrounding area. All in all, I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable stay. It's definitely worth the price, and I would happily return in the future. Thank you to the host for a wonderful experience!

Wonderful stay with wonderful host. Host was really friendly and provided great suggestions for Auckland touring. The location was quiet but close to fun restaurants. The unit was spotless and beautifully decorated. Comfy bed with nice linens. Everything you might need in kitchen, bath and closet. Lots of nice hangers in closet- my pet peeve. Like staying at a nice resort. Highly recommended.

Great house as a base for us and our family. Very comfortable house, easy to walk to shops restaurants and beach. Morris and Daisy were very helpful and attentive hosts, providing toys for the children and even a monitor so our son in law could work while at the house

amazing! couldn't ask for a better location right opposite the beach! the unit was super clean and had everything we needed and more- like kids games and beach chairs! was a perfect Christmas holiday spot! thanks heaps for having us! we can't wait to be back!

Suyun was a great host and was very responsive in communications. We had a problem with one of the locks and he was extremely quick to respond and to bring someone over to fix the issue. The house has a beautiful lounge with a great view for relaxing.

Had an amazing stay at Jill’s waterfront apartment! The place was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. Waking up to stunning water views was a highlight, and the location was perfect—close to everything but peaceful and relaxing. Would absolutely recommend and hope to stay again!

Pam’s lovely and the location is stunning. Had a great week there and hope to visit again.

We had a fantastic Easter weekend at Santa and Graham’s beautiful North Shore home. As hosts, they were truly exceptional—warm, attentive, and incredibly generous with local tips that made our stay even more special. The home itself was spotless, thoughtfully laid out, and perfect for our family. The kitchen made mealtimes a breeze, and the bedroom was a calm, cozy haven after our days out exploring. It was a stay that blended comfort, care, and a true sense of welcome—one we’ll remember fondly and happily recommend to any family visiting Auckland.

We loved staying at Haley’s place. She was super helpful getting us checked in as I had totally failed to download the instructions prior to our arrival. The space feels very private and has a walking trail to a nice park and swimming beach. The bed is very comfortable. The tranquil atmosphere of the unit made it feel like a home away from home

Perfect stay. A lovely apartment with views of the water- we ate dinner every evening sitting on the patio enjoying the bay. The apartment itself was clean and very comfortable. Robyn was so helpful with suggestions of things to do in the area and on our forward journey. Always responsive and kind. Loved the personal touches such as fresh flowers and cookies. Wish we had organized things to stay longer. Thank you Robyn!
