The newly renovated property is really nice and homely. The owner went above and beyond with nice little touches for our family Christmas holiday such as a Christmas tree, some kids books, high chair and bottle of wine for mum

Excellent property for a perfect week family retreat
My partner, Mum and I loved our weeklong stay at Lisa’s beautiful beach home! The property is comfortable, the pictures accurately highlight the new renovations, and we would stay here again in a heartbeat. We loved being so close to the beach but away from the noise, the views are stunning and there’s yummy coffee close by. Lisa was so accommodating and the little touches made us feel so welcomed. Highly recommend staying here!

About the host
Hosted by Emma James Stays
We’re Emma and James, the husband and wife team behind Emma James Stays. Locals to Sydney’s Northern Beaches, we’re passionate about creating beautiful, comfortable and memorable stays for our guests. With a background in property management and a genuine love of the Northern Beaches, we understand what makes a stay feel special. Whether you’re visiting for a beach holiday or simply looking for a comfortable home away from home, we’re here to make your stay as easy and enjoyable as possible!
Why they chose this property
This area is particularly special to us as it is somewhere we have a genuine connection to. Emma grew up locally, and we met in Manly before eventually settling nearby ourselves. Having lived in the area for many years, we love the relaxed coastal lifestyle, beautiful beaches and the easygoing atmosphere that makes this part of Sydney so special.
There is always something to enjoy, whether it is a morning swim, a walk along the coastline, coffee at one of the many local cafés or an afternoon exploring the beaches and villages nearby. We love that you can enjoy the energy and restaurants of Manly while still having plenty of quieter spots to escape to.
For us, it feels like home, which is why we love sharing the area with our guests and helping them experience the best of the Northern Beaches like a local.
What makes this property unique
What makes this property special is its combination of beautiful Manly views, a relaxed coastal setting and the convenience of being just moments from everything Queenscliff and Manly have to offer. The apartment is light, comfortable and thoughtfully set up for guests, with a spacious feel and the added convenience of secure parking.
The location is a real highlight. You can enjoy the quieter, more relaxed atmosphere of Queenscliff while being close enough to walk along the beachfront into Manly for its cafés, restaurants, shops and famous beach. With stunning coastal walks, beautiful beaches and plenty to explore right on your doorstep, it is an ideal base for experiencing the Northern Beaches.
We have created the property to feel like a comfortable home rather than simply somewhere to stay, with everything you need for a relaxing Sydney getaway.
