Renovated apt with ocean views
Lucy's space was homely, cozy and spotless. Check-in was straightforward and we instantly felt right at home the moment we got in. The unit has everything we needed, and Lucy was always responsive in times where we needed help. The only downside is the noise from the cars on the road in the late evening as the building is located next to it. It can get quite loud but manageable as cars got fewer into the night. Overall a very very pleasant and comforable stay, i will come back if i return to Adelaide!

Beachfront Apartment with Panoramic Vistas
We had a great stay at the apartment, it was stylish yet cosy, and walking distance from all the amenities we needed on a family holiday! The place is a stone’s throw from Henley Beach, and we really enjoyed the lovely sunrise and sunsets from the balcony and dining area. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches from the host Lucy, the pantry and breakfast supplies were especially helpful as we got in late in the evening on the first day. The apartment is also equipped with a baby cot and high chair, and kid friendly utensils which made our mealtimes so much easier. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back very soon!

Brighton Beachfront Sanctuary
Wonderful. Stylish, clean but comfortable and very well equipped. That location is everything we had hoped it would be and more - Wow! Wouldn’t hesitate to go back and recommend to others.

La Bella Vita Beach Front Apartment
We loved our stay at Joes . Gorgeous space, perfect location across the road from stunning west beach. Joe was super attentive and a great host. Highly recommend to those who want a beach escape in a quiet spot but close to Glenelg and Henley Beach if you want a bit more action. Thanks Joe

1 BR Oceanview - Glenelg South
Lovely place for a holiday. Wish we could have stayed longer.

'Seaside' at West Beach
We had a wonderful time in this delightful apartment right on the beach. A great location with plenty of restaurants close by at Glenelg and Henley Beach. After a very stormy night which caused a little damage to the gate to the beach, co-host Andrew was there in a couple of hours to fix the issue. Well done Janine and Andrew.

Breathtaking Oceanview escape in beachside Glenelg
Stunning location. A perfect spot to stroll across the road for a swim. Sunsets are a delight. The apartment is set up so both bedrooms and lounge look straight out to sea. Extra little provisions were appreciated. All in all, a wonderful find for our 4 night stay in Adelaide.

Beachfront Studio Apartment
This Airbnb is so adorable - I would definitely stay again! Marie was so incredibly helpful and responsive. The space is freshly renovated so very comfortable to stay in. The location was also incredible and right on the beachfront. Highly recommend!

Sunset Sands on Esplanade | By Host Solutions
Charlton was a great host, he was really responsive and gave us clear instructions for everything we needed. The house is exactly as described, it is clean, spacious, well-furnished, the kitchen is well stocked as it is in an amazing location. Check-in and check-out was so straight forward. We would love to stay here again.

Birdy Beach House—An Idyllic Oceanfront Lifestyle
Absolutely beautiful place and location with glorious views. Beach is heaven. House. Is impeccably clean and comfortable and thoughtfully set up with everything you would need. All furniture was comfortable, and equipment was great. When away, we often feel as though we look forward to going back home as we long for the comforts of home - not here! Just perfect! Will definitely be back.

Henley Beachfront Luxury + Pool, Spa, Sauna!
Excellent stay! Communication was clear and timely from start to finish, which made the whole experience seamless. The location is absolutely beautiful – peaceful, well-kept, and even better than expected. I’m already looking forward to staying here again. Highly recommend.

Hallett Cove Sunset View Getaway
We had a fantastic stay! The house is super clean, very well equipped, and perfect for families with kids. There are heaps of toys and board games that kept the little ones entertained for hours. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need, which made cooking easy and enjoyable. The backyard is spacious, great for the kids to run around, and the fire pit area is a brilliant spot to relax in the evenings. We also loved sitting on the cosy sea-front terrace, watching the stunning sunset. Highly recommend — we’d definitely come back!

Mayflower |Magical Sunsets ·Feels Like Home
Absolutely stunning property and the sunsets are out of this world. Highly recommend staying here if your looking to be south of Adelaide 10/10

Seacliff Beach Retreat; Lux, Modern, Seaviews, 3BR
It’s truly been a paradise for any group of people! Jody and Linda are incredibly warm-hearted, easy to communicate with, and always willing to give you a hand if you need anything. The resort feels like a dream home - complete with fun card games and a ping pong table that’s always ready. I felt completely at home and have enjoyed every second of my stay hereeee🥰🥰🥰

*Summer Specials* Couples Clifftop Retreat
This house was absolutely stunning! It had everything we needed and no expense was spared to make us feel right at home. As soon as we walked through the gate we experienced a very real ‘wow’ factor. The gardens were beautifully kept and the house was spotlessly clean. The view over the ocean was better than expected and provided an immense sense of tranquility. Our hosts were brilliant. They communicated well and accommodated a short-notice extension of stay without any trouble. They even left us a personalised welcome card, a bottle of bubbles and special welcome for our little dog. This property is truly a five-star place and highly recommended to anyone considering a stay. We can’t speak highly enough about how wonderful the entire experience was and will definitely be back again.

The Seaview | Seaside Luxury
Fantastic home in an awesome location - there was nothing we needed that was not there to use and the communication throughout the entire experience was great.

Luxury beachfront apartment
The house had everything and more than what you would have in your own home. The fridge included cheese and ham with crossiants on arrival. Kitchen was well stocked and it was great we didn’t have to rush out and get the basics straight away.

Bay Breeze Retreat Glenelg - ocean views!
Natalie's place was really gorgeous and exactly as described. My best friend and I had a lovely time there and would return again! We were also provided breakfast and some snacks which was really thoughtful and a nice touch!

Pier 108 Glenelg
Darren’s apartment is perfect for a summer getaway. Amazing view of the beach & great outdoor furniture. Darren is very helpful. Highly recommend this place.

Breath-taking beachfront luxury apartment
Danielle’s place exceeded all expectations—it was even better than the photos! We initially booked for 3 nights but loved it so much, we extended our stay by 2 more. The unit is literally beachfront; you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves. It’s in a perfect, walkable location with easy access to everything. We took the tram from Jetty Road in Glenelg to the Adelaide CBD almost daily and joined wine tours that picked us up right in Glenelg. Danielle thoughtfully provided milk and coffee, and the espresso machine was a great touch. She was also very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Truly one of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve had!

‘The Aquarium’ Waterfront Apartment
We really enjoyed our week and would stay again. Thankyou!
