This ultra luxe City Beach Classic is moments from the beach so you can wake up with the sun and get a cold plunge in before plonking yourself by the pool for the rest of the day. With five bedrooms and generous entertaining space inside and out, it's ideal for big groups or family stays. There's even a mini basketball court if you're keen for a little sweat sesh before your swim.

We're feeling a Bridgerton-esque summer is on the cards at this Bicton beauty. Located by the river, the iconic manner home is giving big old-world elegance on the outside, while inside it's blessed with all the modern decor and comforts you could dream of. Out back, you'll find a huge pool waiting for you, surrounded by plenty of shaded grass just waiting for you to throw a towel down and dry off with your fave summer read. If you feel like venturing out, you've also got some stunning river walks right on your doorstep.

I've only really got one thing to say about this one, and that's 'oceanfront pool'. Yep, located right across from the beach, the plunge pool at this heritage Cottesloe Beach House has uninterrupted views out to Rottnest Island and is hands down one of the best spots to watch a sunset.

Villa Mondrian

Good luck pulling yourself away from Villa Mondrian. We're obsessed with the balmy indoor-outdoor vibes and luxe living spaces, not to mention the tranquil pool area of course. All this and you're only five minutes from some of Perth's finest beaches. No wonder people pay the big bucks to live here.

Mosman Park Perfection

We may be chasing pool stays here, but with the added bonus of two stone outdoor baths, this lush country oasis within the Perth Hills has risen to the top of our list. Surrounded by native bushland and beautifully maintained gardens, the rustic character-filled estate is perfect for your next group getaway or romantic escape. If you get tired of lounging by the resort-style pool and bathing under the stars, you’ve also got a chesterfield movie lounge, billiard room and full bar to keep you entertained.

With its oh so lush Hamptons style, two-decker balcony and dreamy pool area, this East Freo holiday house practically screams summer. Originally built in 1954, the weatherboard home has been given a serious glow-up throughout, so no need to fight over who gets the good room here. And with a massive enclosed backyard complete with a trampoline, the kids can let loose too.

It's got six spacious bedrooms and plenty of living areas to relax in, all beautifully renovated—so a no-brainer for big groups.

Who says you need to leave Perth for a good coastal escape? You can book a weekend with your crew right here in Scarbs at the stunning Turquoise Waters Retreat. Located within walking distance from Scarborough beach you can nip down for a quick dip in the morning before smashing a margarita or two at El Grotto over lunch. Head back and spend your evening lounging around in the resort-worthy outdoor area and pool before tucking yourself into one of the many comfy beds inside.

Located between Midland and Mundaring is Mountolive Studio, a light-filled rammed earth loft, with beautiful floor to ceiling windows, timber beams and a comfy king-sized bed for you to cosy up in at night. Surrounded by native bushland, the massive secluded pool is reminiscent of a pool you’d find in a theme park (minus the slides and screaming children), and you get it all to yourself. After a hit of tennis on the private courts, hit up this resort pool, surrounded by granite boulders before setting up with a good book on the poolside sun lounges. This Airbnb is also dog friendly, and better yet, they can swim around the pool with you.
