Holiday rentals with a patio in Ettalong Beach

Kylie was incredibly accomodating. Everything went very smoothly. Thanks for being great hosts and communicating quickly and clearly!

Clean, cozy place within minutes walk from a dog friendly beach. it's a bit dark being on the ground floor and backing onto shrubs, but we were out and about most of the time so we didn't mind. Bed was comfortable, shower had great pressure, kitchen seems to be brand new. James and Viktoria had an extensive list of recommendations for beaches, dining out and dog friendly walks.

A beautiful apartment in an unbeatable location, with the beach just steps away. Paul was excellent with communication—friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. The apartment itself was very spacious, with a lovely living area and extremely comfortable beds that made for a restful stay. We initially expected a beach view from the balcony, which wasn’t the case, so just a heads-up for future guests. That said, the proximity to the beach more than made up for it. Overall, a fantastic stay and we'd happily return!"

I had booked Marlene’s as we were coming to Sydney to see my oldest sister, other family and an event - my uncles 70th birthday. We read some reviews and thought it was safe to stay at hers for the night. We arrived very late, rookie travellers and bad planning meant we checked in late and Marlene had waited the whole day for us, which we didn’t know. We were received really well. She was very kind and the house was immaculate. We just had a great time with some family and ended up not needing to stay the night at Marlene’s, we came back collected our things. If it wasn’t for the birthday, we would have DEFINITELY slept there. Bathroom was clean. Marlene was a lovely host. Very warm and welcoming!

Ian's place was a great option for a Pearl Beach pad. My partner and I stayed here and it was quiet and tranquil which we enjoyed. Ian is very transparent about the hike up the path and the steep hill to the property so we expected this and it didn't dampen our experience. The only thing I would note for people who are not familiar with Pearl Beach is that there are no shops or cafes open (well at least there wasn't over Easter) and therefore, things like milk, bread etc you will need to purchase at the next town over in Umina. I think it would be nice if a small amount of milk and other basic items were left for guests in case they arrive late like we did and weren't prepared for there to be no coffee shops or corner stores. However, overall the place is well decorated and private and a very short walk to the beach. I just think a few small welcome items could really enhance the visitor experience but understand these aren't requirements of Airbnb hosts.

Wonderful stay to relax & unwind after a long flight from the USA. High scale and quiet. Easy access to Terrigal (about a 3 min drive) & beaches.

We had a wonderful few days at Penny's apartment. It is comfortable and well equipped with a lovely leafy outlook. The central location is fantastic and so convenient with the cafes, restaurants and shops of Avalon all within easy walking distance. Check in was very easy and Penny is a wonderful host.

Alana's apartment is a hidden jem! beautifully serene sitting by the water and the apartment itself is spotless, great location and very comfortable! thanks so much

I've stayed in many Airbnbs and this was one of the best. Gorgeous views, hot spa, well stocked. Thanks for an amazing stay!

Beautiful place in a quiet and central location, with amazing sunsets! We loved the place, it was clean and comfortable, either everything you need for a nice stay. In a quiet suburb, right in front of the water, with a nice large balcony and large windows with great views. We had the most beautiful sunsets every day! Right in the Central Coast, close to all the best beaches. Will be staying again!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Airbnb. The home was exactly as described — clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The views were stunning, and the surrounding area was so peaceful and serene — the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The kitchen and pantry were incredibly well-stocked, which made cooking at home really convenient. It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into making the space feel welcoming and practical, and it’s very well suited for a longer stay. We also loved the great local café nearby — it quickly became our go-to for coffee and breakfast. Stephen was a fantastic host: clear, friendly, and responsive throughout our stay. We’d happily return and highly recommend this stay to others!

Thank you Lisa for a comfortable stay in your lovely property. We had everything we needed for our stay and would love to be return in summer when the pool is nice and warm.

house was beautiful and we felt right at home! only downside is lack of functionality for babies and children. definitely bring a towel for them and a highchair. however, still comfortable for a whole family! I loved that it was minimalistic and not a lot for my little one to get into.

Imagine waking up to the birds singing then having a cup of coffee on the balcony, watching sunrise over the quiet bay with a breathtaking view. Heaven!! photos on the ads really don't do its justice. The house was fully equipped. Functional kitchen with all the appliances to cook up a storm, all sort of seasonings, cookwares to use. Even with my chef background who often got frustrated in most airbnb's kitchens, i couldn't fault this one. Extremely clean, tidy with a tasteful decor, a tranquil view similar to that of a well kept resort villa in Bali or Thailand. Drive way to the garage was pretty steep but nothing a good driver couldn't handle. The garage was a bit short for our car (will fit a compact car), so we parked in front of it, there was also street parking. The host, Anna, is lovely and even kindly offering early check-in and late checkout without us even asking. This was the best airbnb house we have stayed in NSW. 5+stars and definitely will book again in a heartbeat.

Amazing view l, even managed to see some whales, lee was a great host and very responsive

We had a whole wonderful weekend at Emily’s place! This house had everything we needed and we felt right at home.

Xanthe's place has a lovely aspect, is very quite (there is a Police Station at the end of the road that might help;), has a lot of sun light and is very comfortable. The deck area is very large so great for our dog and all the amenities worked as described. The sofa, dinning table and decor were very nice and rustic and the kids loved the sunroom with a hammock chair. The street itself suited us perfectly. The area is within walking distance to Mona Vale and lots of shops and gyms etc, walk to the beach and dog park, close to the B1 bus to the city and also easy access to anywhere else on the Northern Beaches.

Lucienne’s place was great! I really enjoyed staying there and Lucienne is a fabulous host! I will definitely stay again :) Cheers, Tim

I had a lovely stay at Tina and Chris’s place! Although I didn’t get to meet Tina in person, she was incredibly responsive and helpful through messages. Chris was so welcoming and friendly—it truly felt like a home. The space was cozy, clean, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and warm place to stay. Thank you both!
