Holiday rentals with beach access in Encounter Bay

It doesn't get any better. The apartment is beautful and has everything a couple would want for an extended stay. It's a short walk to Maslin beach and very close to the vineyards of Maclaren Vale. Ann Marie was a delightful host with lots of suggestions on good restaurants and places to go. Loved it.

Truly fab place to stay, probably my favourite beachside Airbnb in this areaso far. The location is perfect: right on the esplanade with amazing sea views, which surprisingly isn’t that easy to find along this strip as the higher yu go, the more the cliffs and brush get in the way. It’s just serene watching the waves roll in, whatever the weather. This Airbnb is so beautifully cared for. It’s not precious, which makes a seaside jaunt much more relaxing. Tracy has literally thought of everything. You turn around and, yep, there’s a charger port when you need it, every appliance you could want – the kitchen is really well equipped. I loved the upside-down living; it was such a pleasure to be upstairs with comfy couches and a great new TV setup. Also, super retro touch: literally every DVD you can think of. Two coffee machines (yes, two!), and a great café right next door. Deep Blue is open on all public holidays, which is ace. Supermarket nearby also open on public holidays!

Perfect place, perfect location. Very clean

Great place. Fantastic views of the ocean. Very peaceful. Lovely holiday.

Loved our short stay here! In a perfection location and equipped with everything you need. Morning coffees on the outside seating is a must :)

Immaculately presented apartment, super easy to access with clear instructions from the host. Literal steps from the beach and cafes etc. Comfortable beds, beautiful linens , easy space to live in - options to stay in or go out. 10mins to great wine region if beach weather doesn’t co operate. Great communication from host, and comprehensive home manual with local coffee tips!

This property offers everything you could want in a relaxing break by the beach. Every thought has been put into the add-ons, including beach supplies, pantry necessities and all linen in a meticulously clean and tastefully decorated environment. This, in addition to a stunning view, and a safe, secure location is a ‘must book’ for a memorable weekend away.

My husband and I stayed for his birthday on Feb and loved it so much we bought the kids back 3 weeks later. The kids are already working on us to stay there again. We will definitely be back- perfect little holiday getaway with everything you need.

We came to SA for Gather Round with our grown up kids and our 4 legged friends, the location was perfect, the house was well equipped and clean, loved the beach and the front deck, great food and of course wine options are endless , we caught the train into Adelaide for the footy it was so convenient and easy, we would stay again for sure.

Haven on Herrick was such a wonderful stay for my family of seven. For such a large space it felt warm and welcoming with thoughtful attention to detail and luxurious inclusions. The short walk to the absolutely stunning Sellicks beach was a real surprise. We’ve experienced lots of Airbnb’s as a family over the years and Renee’s place is up there at the top. Thanks for your help and communication Renee, it was a pleasure all round.

a Dog-Walker's paradise. Wonderfully welcoming to humans and dog - spacious, clean and comfortable throughout. Secure backyard, panoramic views from bedroom and living areas, sleeping to the sound of waves, and well equipped kitchen were highlights for me. Five minute drive to Victor Harbor or one minute walk to Yilke Store for essentials

Great place and very quiet neighbourhood. Great hot shower after a long day outside. Walkable distance to the beach. Had a great time exploring the areas and also Victor's Harbour. It makes a good base to venture out and return to a cosy home after a day's adventure.

We loved every part of our stay at Joanne & Damien’s house in Encounter Bay. It was a beautiful, clean, and comfortable home with everything we needed and more for a relaxing long weekend away with the family. The layout of the home was perfect and catered well to our extended family. There was a high chair provided and books and toys to entertain our toddler, as well as a large enclosed garden for our dog to run around. All the little details had been thought of including plenty of toiletries, towels, and bedding, and food recommendations. The location was perfect- peaceful but also within walking distance of the beach, shops and cafes. Joanne & Damien were wonderful hosts and were friendly, responsive and welcoming. We couldn’t recommend this stay more and we will definitely be back in the future!

Spacious house right near the beach with a great outdoor area and living space. It was clean and tidy and was perfect for a large group
