Holiday rentals with beach access in Balaclava

Aurelie’s place was perfect for us—close to the beach, the supermarket, and right next to the tram stop. As a host, Aurelie was very helpful and always quick to answer my questions. The only minor downside was that on weekends, you can hear some music and noise from nearby restaurants, but it wasn’t too bothersome. Overall, I couldn’t recommend this apartment and host more! We will definitely be staying there again.

Fantastic airbnb. Definitely quintessential St Kilda. We loved our stay, can't wait to come back.

Kate’s property in St. Kilda is in a beautiful location, close to Tram stops, beaches, restaurants and much more. The apartment itself was well kept and had everything needed for a couple or solo traveller. I would greatly recommend to anyone visiting Melbourne and its surroundings

We really enjoyed our stay at Alison's. Unit was of high order and secure parking was a bonus(included in the price!). We just parked the car and took public transport everywhere. Food outlets abound and beach was a gentle 5 min stroll from unit. Would thoroughly recommend Alison's place to stay when in Melbourne! PS. Unit is on the top floor so we had a great view of Hot Air Balloons flying over Melbourne CBD each morning!

Anne was extremely helpful and friendly. She made us feel right at home especially after a long flight from the UK. She met us at the apartment and showing us round the property and giving us great tips on the surrounding area. Anne was always very responsive during our stay and was a great help in ensuring my son found longer term accommodation for his new job in Melbourne. The apartment was nicely located for trams into the CBD and a 5 minute walk to the beach!!! I cannot thank Anne enough not only allowing us to use her property but for all the advice and help. Would definitely stay again.

Melissa was so kind and accommodating when I had a last minute change to my dates of staying - beyond great communication. The place was beautiful and clean and in a fab spot - I’d definitely stay again if I’m in the area. Thank you so much for having me!

The Space - The studio was just as pictured and described, with a queen bed and daybed for sleeping. The bathroom and fully equipped kitchenette ensured that the studio provides all that is required. Beautifully presented and clean. It is within a short distance to acland Street arcade, where you will find plenty of shops close by, as well as public transport links. The Host - Wonderful! Banu is an exceptional host, brilliantly attentive without being intrusive. Banu always had local information to share and handy hints throughout our stay. We instantly felt at home here and wish we could have stayed longer. The disappointment would be too great if we were not to return, to this fabulous airbnb, host and amazing part of the world.

The apartment is ideal for two people. It came with a well equipped kitchen with initial basic essentials provided (tea, coffee, etc) - ideal after a long journey. There is plenty of storage space in the bedroom. In addition there is a washer and dryer available - no need to take as many clothes next time. We hired a car, so a parking space was essential, and was provided in the basement. Fantastic location on the promenade with additional beaches located to the east of St. Kilda. Easy access to local bars, restaurants and supermarkets. The nearest tram stops are within 300m of the property giving easy access to the city. The trams are regular and we didn't see any delays or cancellations. If we ever return to Melbourne, we would definitely check on its availability. Thanks Jen Regards John

A well located stay for easy travel to many eastern and inner city areas. Train station, excellent coffee shop and many restaurants , 711, chemist etc at 2-5min walk. Greatly equiped Air BnB with all you’ll need.

After a rough start with the cleaner not having turned up James was able to fix this quickly and had us in the property as quickly as he could. His communication was exceptional and we’d love to stay again

Andrew’s place was perfect for our stay. We were across the road from the sporting tournament we had travelled for. There were excellent coffee shops, cafes & supermarkets all within a short 5 minute drive. The house was very unique with its decorations, furniture & artwork. The entire house was spotlessly clean & had everything we needed. The shower & bath were both wonderful & the beds were very comfortable.

Was such a great stay, amazing restaurant the street behind and near by public transport. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Monique was very helpful and organised before we checked in. Thanks Monique, would definitely recommend and would book again!!!

Our family of 5 had a great stay at Graci's home in Port Melbourne. Lots of space, great amenities, quiet location, close to amenities. We would definitely stay again.

Taylor was best described as understanding and accepting of a few honest mistakes and a late check in time. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend for the location, ease of access, value and great Host

Well provisioned house in a great location. Thank you.

We enjoyed our short time at Julia and Marcus’ place. So handy as a base for all we were in Melbourne to do. Comfy beds and quiet place. Thank you!

The apartment is well situated with a tram stop into the city just across the road. Very close to the arts precinct and parks. There are a couple of great coffee shops within 5 minutes so easy for breakfast. Woolworths and BWS are a 5 minute walk away and there is a fantastic wine shop downstairs as well. A 10 minute walk takes you to all the restaurants on Southbank. The apartment is spacious and well set out with everything you need for your stay, with great view from the balcony. Definitely recommend the apartment for a stay and would stay again next time we visited from Perth. Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable.

We had such a nice stay at Ros and Andrew’s place. The apartment is great, very well equipped and quiet. The location is perfect, very close to the beach and only a few minutes walk from cafes and restaurants. Ros and Andrew are excellent hosts. We would highly recommend their place and would definitely book again. Thank you very much, Ros and Andrew!

Scenic view from the apartment on the seafront. Comfortable well equipped and within 10 minute walk of a grocer and train station.

Mia’s property was perfect for my business stay, but I know if I was to stay for leisure, it would be equally as perfect! It had everything I needed and Mia’s communication could not be faulted.

Very handy location in central city. Super convenient going anywhere. Clean room and toilet. Beautiful view from high floor. Free gym and pool is plus.

I loved staying at Amy’s She is an amazing host and her place had a wonderful energy and everything you could want or need I couldn’t recommend her more highly 🌹🙏🏻

Our family had wonderful stay and appreciated the beautiful location. The view was absolutely spectacular. It was also very convenient to walk around, with lovely restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Jim was very responsive and let us to check in early .Thank you Jim!

Tamar’s place was exactly as described in an unbeatable location and stocked with all amenities and the view from the balcony was spectacular . It’s a prefect place to explore Melbourne and easy to travel using public transport. I would definitely stay here on my next visit to Melbourne.
