Island vacation rentals in Eastern Europe

The most wonderful place we've had so far on our coast, beyond what's expected is rare. Hosts are very welcoming and wonderful people. We'll be back ❤️🦞🦀❤️🦞🦀

Thank you for a lovely stay! Absolutely magical out here on the island - and away from all the noise after festival and people everyday🦋🌟 Wilhelm met us and instructed well. The small boat ride across the strait was an experience in itself everyday. We will be back🌟

It was a wonderful and very peaceful place!

Location, location, location - those are the key words to describe this place. Crystal clear waters surrounding a beautiful tiny island covered with trees (as part of the garden!). We liked it that much that we even mismanaged our departing date!

Really nice cabin on the lake: quiet, with a nice trail reachable by boat and/or kayak (provided with the cabin). The outside kitchen has everthing you need to cook. Cool place to go for a family with one kid.

Highly recommend this Airbnb! The house and garden are absolutly beautiful. The beds were comfortable. The house was spotless, we felt right at home! Great pathway down to the harbor town for walks in the evening.

We had a fantastic and wonderfully relaxing time on this beautiful little private island. The island and the surrounding area are marvellous, beautifully quiet and the opportunity to explore the area by motorboat was a special experience for us. The hosts were also very friendly and very accommodating. Many thanks again and we would love to come back!

Unbelievable stay. Jukka is one of the greatest hosts I ever met. We will come back! Thanks so much for the stay

We were warmly welcomed by Rikard and fell in love with the house immediately. It is equipped with everything you need. There are several seating options outside, a private jetty with sun loungers, you can use the small motorboat, a sauna, just so many ways to experience and enjoy a wonderful vacation. Rikard was always available when we had questions. We will certainly be happy to come back. Thank you very very much

We had a wonderful holiday season at Larissa's island vacation home. Our 3 families felt right at home in this large, very personal house in the southern archipelago of Finland, from the shot and yet quite close to Kotka and Helsinki. From the airport it is only an hour to the jetty and from there you will soon be on the island. The cottage is wonderfully located on the southern tip of the island. There is plenty of space to linger inside (4 separate bedrooms are really exceptional) and outside, sun and wind all day. This is how the weeks are (too) fast. The kitchen is very well equipped. Even with a large chalkboard, everything is not a test, again both indoors and outdoors. The new sauna gets warm quickly. It offers a beautiful view to the sea. Larissa is a great host and so we had very nice days. I fully recommend Villa Vonkka, assuming some experience in island life.

Don’t hesitate with this gem. Had a perfect midsummer with family and friend. Magical place! Hope to come back again ☺️☀️

Staying in Alexander's house was a real experience. It was wonderful to enjoy the peace, the view, the swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and the boat trip to the island. Alexander gave us the good tip to watch the sunset, worth it! As the icing on the cake, we also saw the northern lights. The accommodation was spacious, cozy and very homely. In short, we would have liked to stay longer.

Beautiful location with great views from the house and sauna.

We had a wonderful 14 days in Kornelia's summer cottage. The location and the view of the lake are particularly outstanding. For our children it was like a little adventure where they could discover the beautiful nature of the island freely and safely. On top of that, the accommodation was very well equipped and clean, and Kornelia and Johann and the entire island community were very welcoming. I recommend the accommodation to anyone who wants to spend a wonderful, varied and relaxing time in a great environment.

This is a wonderful place to relax. We wish we had a few more days. The houses are simple but convenient. The location is spectacular. We visited in August and had to choose between raspberries, blackberries, wild cherries and just plain apples. No ground access - you have to arrive by boat. For a small fee Daniel will rent you his boat but during the high season you could take the shuttle or a water taxi.

The house is a real pearl in Stockholm archipelago, beautifully decorated which allows guests to understand the true living in this unique nature setting. The house is well equipped, with a spacious patio/deck for breakfast, lunch or dinner with brand new deck furniture. The house built in 1912, offers spectacular views from each room and is located next to a 1500 year old viking chiefs' grave shaped like a boat which gives a unique tie to the Scandinavian history. We experienced beautiful waterfront sunsets dining at the the dock house which offers charming overnight accommodations and has all the kitchen, dining/bbq equipment so guests can enjoy the dining at waterfront without running up to the main house. The sauna house is easy to use and guests can cool off stepping into the sea. For local excursions, the house is about 50 minutes drive to Stockholm old town. We thank the host Fredrik and his wife for a fantastic vacation in this spectacular Swedish nature reserve.

Wonderful place. Wonderful host. We will come back.

A truly magical place, your own little universe. A quiet and peaceful place like this is not easy to come by these days, especially not with all the modern amenities that Pirjo's place offers. Private sauna, comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen, fast WiFi, near-total isolation with a town still in reach... I could go on. A true gem in the middle of the beautiful Finnish nature and without a doubt the best Airbnb I ever stayed at. Pirjo herself is an amazing host. Not only did she always reply quickly and very helpfully – she went out of her way multiple times to accommodate and go the extra mile for me, organizing helpful things for me that I didn't even ask her to. I am so grateful to Pirjo, whose hospitality has been the cherry on top of this amazing vacation-cake. Also the island's caretaker, Heikki, was super nice and helpful and I'm happy to have met him. Sadly I didn't meet Pirjo to thank her in person but I hope we will once I inevitably come back for another stay.

Very beautiful and peaceful place surrounded by nature. Great place to stay!

This was the most tranquil holiday we have ever been on. With just the sound of the sea, and away from the world, it was a brilliant place to unwind. Stunning scenery, clear blue sea, fantastic night skies. A couple of things to note (for useful info): - take your own drinking water, the house is plumbed in with the water. Safe for general use and when boiled. - to use the boat you need a licence, but even without it the mainland is within reach by kayak for exploring. - if driving across to Dugi Otok then you will need the ferry to Brbinj, whereas by foot the ferry to Sali is better. It is worth considering the ferry times in your planning. Neven was friendly and responsive. He was extremely helpful when our check in ended up being later than we hoped. He provided transport to and from the island. He made great local recommendations. He even put us in touch with Jerko, a local taxi man who picked us up by boat for a trip to the supermarket. Great stay. Would highly recommend.
