Which Near-Beach Apartments in Da Nang Should Young Families Rent for a 1-Month Summer Stay Under 10 Million VND?
Many families Google “monthly apartment for rent near Da Nang beach” and immediately fall into a price matrix: from 4 million to 25 million/month, with all sorts of luxurious-sounding project names, but don’t know which one actually suits a family with small children for exactly 1 summer month without breaking the bank. If you are in this exact situation, I wrote this post specifically for you—not to advertise any specific place, but to help you filter for the right type of apartment under 10 million that is still fully equipped for the whole family.
How is living for 1 summer month different from a few days of vacation?
For a 3-4 day trip, a hotel near the beach with a swimming pool and eating out every meal is enough. But for a 1-month stay, the criteria for choosing a home change completely. You will need to cook frequently because eating out for a month is both expensive and tiring, you need a private washing machine because children’s clothes change constantly, you need space for children to run around rather than just a double bed, and you need to be closer to markets or supermarkets than to bars or walking streets.
This is why many young families choose incorrectly because they see a beautiful ocean-view apartment in photos, book for a month, and only realize in the second week that there is no kitchen, the laundry is shared in the basement, or it’s a 15-minute drive to the market every time they need groceries.
3 mandatory criteria for a budget under 10 million/month
Walking distance to the beach. With 10 million, it’s hard to get a beachfront apartment, but you can definitely find a place within a 5-10 minute walk to the beach. This is the ideal distance: close enough to go to the beach every morning, far enough for the rent to decrease significantly compared to the front row.
Minimum amenities for a month’s stay. Private washing machine in the unit (not shared), a kitchen with basic pots and pans, and air conditioning in the master bedroom. Lacking any of these three, you will have to compensate with extra money or effort every day.
Security and an elevator if on a high floor. With small children, carrying them up 4-5 flights of stairs every time you go out is something you will regret in the first week. Prioritize units with an elevator, or if there is none, choose floors 1-2.
2 target areas to consider
Son Tra area around My Khe beach, especially streets like My Khe, Duong Tri Trach, Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc, and Ho Nghinh. This area concentrates many reasonably priced service apartments and mini-apartments; most are just a few minutes’ walk from the beach, surrounded by markets, mini-marts, and family eateries.
Pham Van Dong area is close to the beach and closer to the city center (near Han River Bridge, Vincom), convenient if you want to stay near the beach while easily moving to shopping centers or taking children to other attractions.
Both areas have a plentiful supply of monthly rental apartments, so you have many options to compare before finalizing—don’t rush to book the first unit you see online.
3 suggestions for apartment types suitable for young families
Studio or 1-bedroom fully furnished in Son Tra area (about 4-7 million/month). Suitable for small families with few belongings and young children who sleep in the same room as parents. This type is easiest to find in this price range; many already have washing machines and kitchens—just ask the host carefully about the actual distance to the beach (many ads say “near the beach” but are actually 1-2km away).
1-2 bedroom service apartments near Pham Van Dong area (about 7-9 million/month). Suitable for families with an older child who needs a private room, or grandparents traveling along. Service apartments usually come with more complete furniture and sometimes include periodic cleaning services, suitable if you don’t want to worry too much about housework during your holiday.
2-bedroom mini-apartments deep in the alleys, 5-10 minutes walk to the beach (about 6-8 million/month). This is the most economical choice for equivalent space—because they are set back in the alleys, the price is much softer than on main roads, yet still close enough to walk to the beach. The trade-off is a less bustling surrounding area, suitable for families who prefer peace and quiet.

Practical experience for a 1-month stay
When finalizing the rental, remember to ask clearly about the deposit (usually 1 month’s rent) and should have a contract stating the check-in and check-out dates, along with a list of available furniture to avoid disputes when moving out. Regarding electricity and water, ask whether it’s charged at the state rate or the host’s private rate—many service apartments charge 3,500-4,000 VND/kWh, which is significantly higher than the normal rate if staying for a whole month and using air conditioning frequently.
A small tip: when contacting to inquire about renting, state clearly from the beginning that you are renting for a full month, not short-term by the day, because many hosts have two different price lists, and the monthly rate is usually significantly cheaper than the daily rate x 30.
A 1-month summer stay in Da Nang doesn’t have to cost a lot of money; you just need to know the right criteria to filter among the hundreds of apartments being advertised. Once you have a stable place to stay, the next step is to plan safe beach activities for the whole family, especially if you have little ones!
