Vacation rentals with a beach view in Darling Harbour

All the wonderful reviews are accurate so I won't repeat them except to say that this has been added to our short list of places we would love to return to. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked for guests that want to cook. And a welcome basket was supper appreciated. We did have a car but with a bit of research into what has been said on this by Emily and others, and an ability and willingness to walk including hills, you could do this without the cost of a car. The buses are great! Even with a car, we ended up taking the bus to Manly to catch the ferry to Sydney for the day. Saved on parking in Manly for sure! We especially enjoyed the lovely sea view, walking to the rock swim pools at Whale Beach (and driving to others to swim) and finding great places to explore, walk and eat.

Gorgeous and luxurious property in a wonderful location. Beautiful view and breeze from the balcony. Lovely small touches by the host to make it extra comfortable and relaxing. The plunge pool was a wonderful bonus!

This is by far the best Airbnb I’ve stayed in! The view is perfect, the pool is a great addition and very private. Close to shops ane cafes 10/10

The perfect location in the heart of Bondi with lovely cafes and shops just underneath. We thought it would be loud near the main road, but it was super quiet and peaceful. Nice touch with the beach towels for use too!

We had a lovely week stay at Genina’s. Her partner noticed our car had an extensive oil leak and let us know we could call NRMA. It turned out due to mechanical error from a recent service we had zero oil and if we had kept driving would have needed a new car. Very grateful for their communication and gracious reassurance about the oil stain on their driveway. Genina kindly and generously offered to drive us to get groceries if needed while our car was at the mechanics. I enjoyed the kayak and snorkelling. Peaceful picturesque place to relax. The most beautifully decorated apartment I have stayed in. Everything was perfect.

We had an amazing time staying at Lucy's beachfront Airbnb! We spent a month there and loved waking up to the stunning sunrise every morning. The apartment was perfect for our family of four, offering everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Lucy was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. We would absolutely love to return for another beach getaway!

We loved our stay at Lisa unit. It was everything she described it as. Unit was extremely clean and had everything you need for a short or long stay. Lisa was kind and thoughtful and kept communicating with us during our stay. We would HIGHLY recommend booking with Lisa. If we need to come back to Manly we will be staying here again.

Penny’s place was so perfect for our family of four. With two little kids the separate sleeping spaces worked so well, and the little playroom was such a perfect addition to keep them happy. The apartment is small, but with everything there is to do in Sydney we weren’t spending too much time inside anyways, but the huge outdoor patio which overlooked the ocean in the distance was an amazing addition. Penny was so helpful and responsive and such a pleasure to engage with. The location was a 15 minute walk to Coogee Beach, and about 20-30 minutes to other amazing neighborhoods around the city. It was a perfect place for our visit.

Bundeena was a charming little town! While there was not a ton to do, we mostly came to have a laid back day enjoying the beautiful view from the deck and relaxing in the hot tub, both of which did not disappoint! Highly recommend if you are looking for a simple, clean place to call home for a few days or as a quiet oasis to get out of the city for a night!
