Guest Reviews

• kate (10/5): - Great location Good facilities
• Aurora (10/5): - The place is so clean, good location and has a beautiful view. It's a home away from home. Everything you need is provided and we will surely come again. Highly recommended.
• Anupam (10/5): -
• Cameron (10/5): A beautiful appartment. - The appartment was well maintained and the little homely touches made you feel relaxed straight away. Absolutely nothing.
• Kim (9/5): -
• Jodie (8/5): Very enjoyable though. Thanks for the vouchers & the little extras. - It was well stocked & beautifully presented Would have been nice to watch tv from bed. Always a perk when staying in a hotel/villa. Pillows weren’t the greatest as they squashed down to practically nothing.
• Phillip (10/5): All up very good. Beach experience not good - The all round experience. The accomodation The beach earthworks. Need more security around unit Ie security fence we were robbed
• Melissa (9/5): The perfect weekend getaway to unwind, connect and relax in luxury facilities and super location - Outstanding facilities, location is magical, host is always organised and thoughtful
• Alistair (10/5): This property had everything - view, comfort, location, cooking facilities, the lovely spa bath, the bbq…we couldn’t hav - Literally everything - our favourite place to stay so far and we’ve spent the last 2 months touring Australia. Nothing, it was perfect, my wife wants to come back as soon as possible.
• Michel (10/5): Ab 2-4 Nächte wunderbar um diese Gegend zu erkunden - Top Lage.. und ein sehr schönes Apartment. Top in Schuss sehr sauber und gepflegt. Alles vorhanden und man kann direkt rüber zum Strand.. Einzige Detail ist, wenn man Gäste im oberen Appartement hat, es mit der Holz Terrasse sehr laut werden kann..
• Jill (10/5): Absolute beautiful calm and very relaxing 😎 - The location was perfect just a five minute walk to the board walk Nothing
• Eman (9/5): great experience - stayed at Seashells many times before in hotel apartments and villas on both sides. Villa 9.1 was one of the nicest—very well equipped with modern furniture and appliances (BBQ, mini oven, coffee machine, speakers). Lovely details like quality toiletries, complimentary chocolate, and wine made it extra special. The only thing that could be improved is the checkout experience. It would be great if guests could have pool access until the end of the day. I was kindly given access until 2:30 pm, which wasn’t bad, but usually guests prefer to enjoy the pool for the whole day.
• shoji (9/5): COOL！ - ロケーション、部屋内のすべてが良かったです。とりわけ。ジャグジー、BBQコンロ、これまでのオーストラリア旅行では経験したことのない素晴らしい部屋でした。特にキッチンの日本製の包丁セットの切れ味は抜群で、こんなに素晴らしい包丁は日本のアパートメントにもありません。 食器類が少し少ない感じでした。
• Norman (9/5): Ideal for our needs - Location, facilities, decor. 2steps to lounge area. Not good for people with mobility problems.
• Nadia (10/5): I never want to leave this place - Honestly, this is likely the best Airbnb I've ever stayed in. My partner and I went into vacation-mode the second we arrived. The apartment is steps away from the beach, and also steps away from the communal swimming pool/spa. My biggest problem during my stay was the decision on whether to go to the beach or the pool, or whether to have a bath in the luxury tub in the bathroom. The place is spacious, open-planned, modern, and has all the tools & facilities you need for a relaxing getaway. My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer. Also, just an FYI to other guests - there is no oven. But the kitchen has everything else you could need (fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher).
• Yvonne (10/5): - The location, the view, the quality of the personal accessories provided, comfort of the bed, ease of communication and instructions and immaculate cleanness.
• Sheryl (9/5): -
• Sephra (10/5): The most wonderful stay! - Absolutely everything, it was honestly perfect. The location is wonderful. Also, someone took the speaker within half an hour of us eating outside then going out to clean up. 😞 I was so anxious about it but the owners were so lovely about it I had a little cry. The place has everything, spa bath and super comfortable bed. They've thought of everything. We stay at ALOT of places and my husband said "this is my favourite place ive ever stayed ever!!!" Nothing
• Dianne (10/5): Can't wait to be back - Beautiful villa and location, very responsive staff. Aircon was not working but the seabreeze made everything ok!
• Robin (10/5): A real pampering... - There are many creature comforts that made this stay a special holiday. You want for nothing at this villa by the sea. Leaving.
• Erin (10/5): Really nice villa with gorgeous decor. Christmas decorations were a nice touch. Have already booked for next year. - Great location. Villa was very nicely decorated. Nothing
• Gill (10/5): - Fabulous location . Very comfortable , clean and excellent facilities
• Guy (9/5): Loved it so much we booked another night and stayed on rather than go to Perth. - Walk to everywhere location. Right on the beach. Beautifully presented and styled with loads of thoughtful touches. Lovely spa bath. Super comfortable bed. Plenty of linen and kitchen was very well equipped. That we couldn't have stayed another week!
• Davis (10/5): I came to chill & recharge the batteries - and the Villa and location did exactly that. - My stay, could've, should've, been longer. Right on the beach, listening to the ocean washing up and rolling over the beach, there isn't a better sound to fall asleep with. Perfect decking to sit and chill, the furniture outside and in, are excellent quality, in fact the whole villa has the best quality furniture and fittings. Loved the spa, the bed is super comfortable (and I am fussy) all the appliances are best brands. Did I enjoy my stay? Yes, Yes home away from home 11/10. Thank you, Iris. In other words I score this villa very highly, there is nothing I could find wrong with it at all.
• Joshua (10/5): -
• Jo (10/5): Our stay was so lovely, a peaceful break away from a hectic few months, listening to the ocean with the patio doors open - Location was perfect, unit was spotless and beautifully decorated. Nothing
• Richard (10/5): - Right on the beach, beautifully presented. Awesome spa bath. Central to everything Definitely a Winner Little tricky to get to intially, Could use a hose outside to wash the sand off
• Michelle (10/5): Exceptional value Billa in superb location and host was responsive and helpful. - Location, facilities were pristine, equipment was pristine, comfortable bed and great quality bedding and towels - thank you N/A
• Genie (10/5): - A beautiful villa in an incredible location. The spa was just blissful. A very popular destination for families, so if you don't like being surrounded by children, don't travel in the school holidays.
• Heila (10/5): One of the best places I have stayed in 60 years! 🫶😉🥰 - Location right on the beach, modern, spacious, clean; everything we needed and wanted it to be.
• Tania (10/5): Exceptional -
• Janet (10/5): Beautiful apartment - The property is exactly as pictured. Instructions to get in were very clear, we had no problems getting there and getting in. Beautiful apartment equipped with everything we need for 5 nights of stay. We had an amazing time at the beach, at the pool, and even just hanging out in the apartment watching TV. The smart TV is also a plus, we could airplay from our own devices, just like home away from home. Thanks for hosting us and making such an amazing apartment available. Nothing.
• Caroline (10/5): Fantastic place. Very clean and luxurious . Great value for money - Fantastic place. Very clean and felt very luxurious . Had everything you could want plus more. Great view of the beach and close to lots of restaurants. Thank you for the little extras of a bottle of wine and chocolates . That was very thoughtful. Couldn’t rate this any better.
• Robyn (10/5): A lovely unit. Very close to the beach, shops, walks, cafes. We would stay there again. - There is not much sound proofing so if there are children in the upstairs unit it can be a bit noisy - but it was ok whilst we were there.
• Jeffery (10/5): Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would definitely come back again. -
• Amanda (10/5): Highly recommend !! - Walking distance to everything in town, attractions restaurants shops. And the beach view … WOW !! It’s beautiful. Having to go home.
• Marius (10/5): Exceptional -
• Caroline (9/5): Superb -
• Mark (10/5): Villa 9.1@ Villa by the Sea - Everything was perfect. There is nothing that I can think of that could have made our stay any better. Nothing. It was better than any 5 star hotel I've ever stayed in.
• Deb (10/5): Stunning location 10/10. - Everything, just a stunning location & villa. Footsteps to the beach. So many little extras ie/blue tooth speaker, crystals for the bath, coffee machine, the best, so easy to use and delicious, even frothed my oat milk. N/A
• Angela (10/5): Top Marks, this would have to be the nicest accommodation that we have stayed at! - The location was superb, so close to the ocean, yet just a 3 minute walk to Cafes. Beautiful accommodation, stylish, spacious, light, quality furniture and accessories, great coffee machine, with little extra's to make our stay feel extra special. Iris was a great communicator and the access was very easy, we are planning to stay again! Nothing not to like, it was lovely.
• Danielle (10/5): Amazing!!! - Everything was perfect Nothing
• Cath (10/5): Exceptional accomodation and perfect location for a family holiday. - Our stay at Villa by the Sea was exceptional. The attention to detail throughout the apartment is next level. The location is perfect with close proximity to many restaurants and the beach is literally on your doorstep! We will definitely be returning for a family holiday.
• Yvonne (10/5): Absolutely Fabulous - Everything Can’t fault a thing Exceptional The sea view was exactly what I needed I loved everything
• Ab (9/5): Lovely getaway - Host was lovely to deal with. Properly was clean, nice amenities, great views and location. Loved that there were some coffee pods provided and more than 2 coat hangers. Loved having a bbq on the deck. Overall a lovely stay. Nothing really to complain about.
• Novak (10/5): Hello Iris, my wife and I had the most enjoyable stay. Location, location, location. The villa was absolutely beautiful - Location, location, location N/A
• Cc (9/5): Villa by the Sea is well equiped. You can pack light as the villa has every amenity you could need. - Parked the car once. You can walk everywhere. Stomping from the flat upstairs. Fire alarm went off one night upstairs too.
• William (10/5): Beautiful place, would stay there again, nice and relaxing sitting out the terrace looking at the o - The location was just beautiful right on the beach, very quiet close to all the bars and cafes. They had a lovely swimming pool. Well looked after and very clean. Nothing really it was all good. We had a noisy family stay from Friday to Sunday, the kids got up early and were very loud but hey they are kids on holidays
• G (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tracey (10/5): Relaxing and didn’t want to leave - Beautiful villa, fresh open space. The view to the beach is amazing. The villa is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, even bath salts for the huge spa bath, bbq out on our private patio, chocolates and wine. The kitchen has an amazing coffee machine so I could sit outside with my cappuccino and listen to the waves from the beach. The villa itself is simply stunning! The hosts have thought of everything to make our stay perfect. Nothing.
• Michael (8/5): Very good -
• Dianne (9/5): Superb -
• Carol (10/5): Lovely break for our Wedding Anniversay. - The property was lovely. No WiFi , which was very disappointing , especially as it’s 2025, how can you not have WiFi?
• Angela (10/5): Awesome - Great location. Beautifully presented
• Mike (10/5): Fabulous chill zone!! - The directions and instructions for entry to the apartment were great. As soon as we opened the door to the apartment, we thought, damn, should have booked a longer stay! This place is exceptional, a real quality holiday home. The hotel pool area is superb and after a day's drive up from the Margaret River area we enjoyed a full-on day of relaxing by the pool, lunch at our villa, dip in the sea and a chill evening at this chic pad! Wonderful stay, thanks a lot! That we didn't book a longer stay!!!!!! Apart from that, nothing, this place is to die for!
• Terry (10/5): Luxury by the sea - Absolutely loved the beachfront location and closeness to cafes on Mandurah marina. Villa By the Sea is well appointed and spotlessly clean. The bed is comfortable and we were very impressed with the little extra touches like the wine chocolates and bath salts for the spa bath that were provided. Our communication with Iris our host prior to arriving was easy. Having your own BBQ on the front deck along with the outdoor setting and relaxing chairs was an added bonus. Highly recommend this villa for a relaxing luxury getaway. There was nothing not to like
• Michael (10/5): Excellent, highly recommend- world class in fact!!! - Excellent property in the most excellent location! What a great place to relax and listen to the sound of the waves just steps beyond the front of the unit. There would not be many other holiday apartments that could match it for the high quality of fit out and location!!!
• Robin (10/5): A Memory Maker - I know the southwest of WA very well, and Villa by the Sea is without doubt a most perfect panoramic vantage point, successfully preempting and providing everything needed to ensure a memorable physical and mental wellness stop. You just have to remember where you put your car keys because you won't need them. There really is nothing not to like.
• Stephenie (10/5): Couldn’t be better. - Perfect area, nice and quiet, great being able to look out on the beach, very relaxing, if I needed any help Iris was just a phone call away. It might be just that I’m too old but I found the big white chairs were uncomfortable other than that no complaints.
• Trudy (10/5): Holidaying in style. - We felt like VIP'S staying in such a gorgeous villa. We threw our bags down and poured ourselves a glass of the complimentary bottle of wine. Sat out on the verandah, looked out at the sparkling blue ocean, white beach, and sighed. We were on holiday and in the best of style. We knew we were going to enjoy our stay. The decor is fresh and beautiful. The bed is extremely comfortable, and everything is supplied, not overlooking a thing. It felt opulent staying there. Thankyou.
• Ryle (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jas (10/5): Far too short! It was a perfect location with 5 star facilities. - Location, facilities and privacy.
• Janet (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jennifer (10/5): As a get away for our 50th wedding anniversary, it was perfect. - Loved the excellent quality and cleanliness of everything. Absolutely nothing.
• Trudy (10/5): Exceptional - It felt opulent, which made us feel very special. There was everything that we needed and more to make for a lovely and relaxing holiday. And being able to use the resort's facilities as well was a bonus. It's a must for everyone to experience, you just won't want to leave!
• Lara (10/5): A perfect spot - We liked everything! A wonderful spot to relax and listen to the waves. A beautiful apartment with a great outside decking area right by the beach. Perfect spot and the chocolates were a bonus! If we ever visit Mandurah again we will be staying here.
• Grahame (10/5): I went to stay in the Villa to destress and I achieved all that and more - excellent, thank you! - The attention to detail, the décor and the proximity to the beach was excellent. I really enjoyed the sound of the ocean and waves hitting the shore all night a calming and destressing experience. I had booked this Villa to destress, and relax and I truly did. Iris, your Villa, service and overall impression exceeded my expectation and I hope to experience it again very soon! Thank you very much for your hospitality. 11/10 star rating. Perhaps the pick up of the keys is a bit tedious and not having to park in the Villa's parking bay. if there was anything else it would be picky and unfair.
• Amber (10/5): Absolutely amazing 10/10 would recommend - The local the view the furniture the amenities the pool every about it was fabulous!! We will be staying again The skylight in the bedroom! But they are getting a shutter on it next week!
• Asia (10/5): Amazing, beautiful, great communication and good location. - Everything! Beautiful location, clean, everything was provided e.g chocolate/wine/wifi,Netflix, all kitchen appliances and much more. Would highly recommend others to stay at villa by the sea and will 100% book this again in future.
• Mike (10/5): Most enjoyable, lovely spot on the oceans edge, spacious and comfortable. - location maybe some extra pillows wold have been nice
• Steven (10/5): Ansolutely ideal location, comfort, decor, ambiance, facilities, attention to detail. - Everything. That we couldn’t stay longer
• Kirsty (10/5): Relaxing , convenient nothing else needed! - Amazing view. Beautifully furnished. Great location . Clean. It was all perfect.
• Brad (10/5): Exceptional - Cleanliness of the villa was excellent Views were amazing The owner was excellent and friendly Amenities where everything you need for a weekend away There was nothing to complain about spot on
• Jackie (9/5): Superb - We loved the decor and the quality of the amenities provided. Every need required for a comfortable stay was supplied and at hand. To be able to open the door and have the look, sound and access to the beach was great.
• Shantelle (10/5): Deluxe beachfront escape! - This privately owned villa within the Seashells Resort is superb!! I've stayed in other villas & apartments at Seahells before, but this was my absolute favourite. The furnishings and interior design are very modern and beachy and the view is 180° pure ocean ...love, love, love! The cleanliness was immaculate, location perfect & facilities (like the pool) are great in warmer weather. The mattress & duvet were very comfortable too, and we slept soooo peacefully! There were some really nice personal touches too.... like the bottle of wine, chocolates, bath salts, milk, soda stream & nespresso pod machine! 🩷 Can't comment on the noise from the villa above as no one was staying there. We only had one small issue with the power, but this was sorted out straight away (maybe caused by the wild weather we had during our stay) We would love to come back again and enjoy the outdoor deck area and warm weather swimming in the near future! The large skylight above the spa allows alot of light in which is great during the day, but just wakes you up early in the morning. We only had 2 nights here anyway, so why waste it sleeping I guess!
• Raymond (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lingtao (9/5): Superb - if supplier slippers,that would be more than perfect
• Trudy (10/5): Exceptional - We loved being by the sea, looking out and having a glass of the complimentary wine. It was very comfortable and had everything there that you needed plus more. We felt very special staying there with many restaurants close by too.
• David (10/5): Relaxing and peaceful, a place you don’t want to leave. - Everything, especially hearing the waves from the beach at night, exceptional. Upstairs guests were thumping around dancing and had the music up loud on the last night of our stay, they stopped at 11pm which was good but with this property you have to hope the upstairs guests behave and don’t party.
• Alana (10/5): Very comfortable and luxurious. Everything we could have wished for and more! - Very comfortable and luxurious. Everything we could have wished for and more! Nothing we didn’t like
• Georgina (10/5): Absolutely beautiful we loved it 👍 -
• Anthony (10/5): The perfect location to get away. Drinks watching sunset at the beachfront. What more could anyone want to escape from t - Beautifully fitted and laid out No hi ball glasses for tall cool drinks in the afternoon
• Sue (10/5): Will be back be thoroughly enjoyed our stay - The location with the ocean just outside the rear doors was amazing. Very peaceful and the interior has everything you could wish for with all quality appliances in the kitchen, comfy beds and a great big spa bath. Nothing!
• Moore (10/5): Exceptional - Great villa perfect amenities and location

Otherwise literally no issues with anything - just that we had to leave!
• Brendan (9/5): Superb - Lovely clean, well decked out villa in a great part of Mandurah. Walking distance to cafe's, restaurants, shops, beach, parks and everything we needed. My stay wasn't long enough.
• Steven (10/5): Exceptional -
• Damian (10/5): I had the most incredible stay at this Villa with an amazing location and breathtaking sea view! - I had the most incredible stay at this Villa with an amazing location and breathtaking sea view! From the moment I walked in, I was completely blown away by the beauty and charm of this place. The location simply couldn't have been better. Just steps away from the beach, I could hear the soothing sound of the waves crashing against the shore from my window. Waking up to the gentle sea breeze and the panoramic view of the sparkling blue ocean was an experience beyond words. It felt like a dream come true to have such easy access to the beach whenever I wanted, whether it was for a morning stroll, a lazy sunbathing session, or a romantic sunset walk. The interior of the Airbnb was equally impressive. The attention to detail in the décor and furnishings created a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It was evident that the hosts put a lot of thought into making the space comfortable and stylish. The room was impeccably clean and well-maintained, and all the amenities provided added an extra layer of convenience to my stay.
• Tayla (8/5): Very good -
