Overview
First Impressions
When I first spotted 8 Cottesloe Steps To Beach – Sleeps 3, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the name alone. But you know what? Sometimes the most straightforward names tell you exactly what you’re getting — and in this case, that’s a pretty fantastic deal. This four-star property sits just steps away from one of Perth’s most beloved beaches, and I mean literally steps. The moment you arrive, you can practically hear the waves calling.
Location Magic
Here’s the thing about Cottesloe — it’s not just another beach suburb. This place has that relaxed, almost European vibe that locals guard jealously, and staying this close to the sand puts you right in the heart of it. The location feedback speaks for itself, especially for couples who’ve rated it 9.6 for romantic getaways. I get it completely — there’s something magical about being able to slip out for sunrise walks or sunset drinks without any planning whatsoever. The free private parking on site is actually a huge bonus here, because anyone who’s tried to find a spot near Cottesloe Beach on weekends knows the struggle is real.
The Space Itself
The apartment sleeps three comfortably, which makes it perfect for couples wanting extra space or small families who don’t need anything massive. What I really appreciated was how the space felt designed for actual living, not just sleeping — there’s a proper kitchen that’s actually functional if you want to grab fresh seafood from the local markets and cook up something special. The room setup works well for the size, and honestly, you’ll probably spend most of your time either on the beach or exploring the neighborhood anyway.
Beach Life and Beyond
Being this close to Cottesloe Beach means you’re not just staying near any old stretch of sand — this is consistently ranked as one of Australia’s best urban beaches. The water’s usually calm enough for swimming, the sand is that perfect white that makes every photo look professional, and the Norfolk pines provide natural shade when you need a break. What most visitors don’t realize is that you’re also walking distance to some seriously good cafes and the kind of local spots that don’t make it into guidebooks but absolutely should.
Why Guests Love It
That 9.4 location rating from recent guests isn’t just numbers — it reflects something you feel the moment you settle in. There’s this sense of having found a little secret, even though you’re staying in one of Perth’s most popular areas. The combination of beach access, genuine local atmosphere, and that rare find of free parking creates one of those stays where you actually relax instead of constantly planning your next move. I mean, when couples are rating the location nearly perfect for romantic trips, and you can see why the moment you watch your first Cottesloe sunset, you know you’ve found something special.

Guest Reviews
Very good
Location location
What could be improved: The bedroom was a bit small
Beach Stay
Location was great, host communicated well, comfortable bed
What could be improved: Needs a lot of maintenance - fridge leaks, shower leaks, air con (heating) didn’t work properly, some mould in bathroom, front fly screen door wasn’t attached to the door, sliding door to balcony needs repairs
It was okay.
This property is very tired. It is in desperate need of a renovation. The bed was okay though.
What could be improved: It was hard to find how to enter when I arrived very late at night. The place is falling apart and for the money I expected more. It is grimy and smells stale. It’s a typical 1980s holiday home that has been flogged to death. Gaffer tape to stop leaks in the kitchen. Towel rod and window blind falling apart. Filthy shower curtain. I also resent having to pay insurance to cover my potential damage to there property!
Good stay, in the perfect location!
Perfect location, just across the road from the beach. The pool was a nice bonus too!
What could be improved: Quite hot upstairs - had to leave the bedroom door open with aircon on downstairs.
No wifi or washing machine (this is mentioned though).
