Waterfront vacation rentals in Midlothian

A lovely lit coastal path on the door. Kitchen well equipped.

One of the best and most original Airbnb's we have stayed in. Very well-equipped with beautiful furnishings and features in a historic building. Lovely views on to the Water of Leith. The location is superb, situated in the best area of the Shore, with many bars and restaurants and lovely walks along the Water. Great public transport links to Edinburgh, including tram. Another bonus was the private parking, and accessibility. The early check in was a bonus meaning we could enjoy a full afternoon in the area. If I were to specify our ideal place to stay on a visit to Edinburgh, Leith - this would be it . Finally, thank you, Robert, for the great welcome packs, milk, fruit and treats etc. We can't wait to come back for another short stay.

Emily's flat was perfect for a few days in Edinburgh and had everything we needed. Comfy bed, great shower and a lovely kitchen. It's the perfect spot for visiting the city, a 3 minute walk to the tram, which takes 15 minutes to the city centre (we walked one day and it was only 40 minutes). Emily gave us loads of recommendations for places to eat and they were all brilliant. Brunch, dinner, coffee, cocktails, you're spoiled for choice in Leith. Emily is a proactive, responsive and really helpful host and I would definitely look to stay again the next time I visit Edinburgh.

Great host and apartment. Was able to accommodate needs of my daughter and very proactive, friendly and helpful. Lovely apartment that was nicely kitted out

Lucy's flat by the sea in North Berwick was very comfortable and spacious. We liked the nearness to the beach (particularly my granddaughter) and the views to the Bass Rock from the sitting room. It was very well equipped and had everything we needed. There is plenty to do in North Berwick and it was only a short walk to the Seabird Centre and even shorter to the excellent local museum, which was a great place to visit on a wet day. We would particularly recommend the boat trip to Craigleith and the Bass Rock where we saw great numbers of gannets and rafts of puffins. There are some interesting shops in North Berwick's High Street with an old-fashioned sweety shop (much appreciated by my granddaughter), a high quality wool shop, and the inestimable Bostock Bakery for indulgent cinnamon buns and croissants. There are plenty of good restaurants too. Being without a car was fine, as all these attractions are just a short walk from Lucy's flat.

Wonderful and cosy apartment right on the bank of the Tweed river. Terry is a great host, friendly, responsive and willing to help with local recommendations! We have had a great time staying at Terry’s place!

We had such a wonderful stay at Chris & Erin’s flat in Leith. It’s well situated with great transport links and an amazing view. This is a really magical property and we would highly recommend it!

A lovely little apartment with a great view over the river. Thank you to Kirsty for keeping in touch throughout. It was perfect for our needs.

Absolutely wonderful! The setting was beautiful and peaceful, on a lovely farm in the countryside. The cottage was cosy, spotless, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. Mary was incredibly kind and always happy to help. It was the perfect countryside getaway — we truly enjoyed our stay and would love to return!

Second time staying here as it’s perfect for a family of four. My children love watching the planes and trains from the living room and have lots of space to play, and enjoyed exploring the garden. The house is very comfortable and cosy and the kitchen is well equipped. Definitely need a car to stay here as it’s a long way from any public transport but it was a great base for visiting Edinburgh and the surrounding area.

My family had an absolutely amazing long weekend at Charles’ home. Kenneth supported a very smooth check-in and was super friendly and responsive. I really appreciated that the hosts were very responsive and also transparent about the feasibility of staying in their home with a baby. The home itself was spotlessly clean, had a beautiful kitchen, and was very peaceful to relax while watching the river flow by. We will be back!

Our stay was just the best. The location was beautiful, peaceful and quiet with its own loch and kayaks which the children loved. It was also close by to local amenities and many places to visit nearby. The house was so spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked and Theresa had very kindly left us some groceries, a very welcome addition. Pets were also welcomed and it was a great place for dogs to run around in. We would not hesitate to recommend Theresa’s house as it had everything and more that we were looking for.

This is a great property and we feel very lucky to have stayed here. Patricia was a great host.

A lovely little cottage to enjoy the beautiful North Queensferry. The house is beautifully presented and really feels homely and welcoming. The bedrooms are great sizes and the bathroom was spotless. Will definitely be staying here again!

What a wonderful place! Exactly as advertised and more. Calum and Karen were very responsive and gracious. Always helpful with recommendations. It was a family trip so we did a lot of touring. After a long day of activities, it was always great to come back to this beautiful home . . . and the views are spectacular.

We absolutely loved Alex’s home…there was 6 of us travelling together and the house was the perfect size… the house was comfy, beautiful surroundings…friendly locals…beautiful beach just a 2 min walk away…very clean home in quiet neighbourhood

This is a gorgeous, spacious flat. The layout and design made me feel right at home, and I was truly impressed by the well stocked kitchen. The views are also unmatched, with every window showing a different glimpse of Edinburgh. I enjoyed looking out at the Firth of Forth each morning while drinking my morning coffee. I also loved how peaceful it felt here. The flat is slightly outside of the city center, but not so far away that you can’t walk to Edinburgh’s main attractions (and the walking paths near the flat are great!). Anita is also very kind, proactive, and helpful. I would definitely stay here again!

Had a lovely stay. Comfortable & cosy & all you need is in the flat. If you can’t manage stairs with bags this is not the place for you however, we were aware of this from other reviews. Good access to buses to get into town. Parked at the local 24 hour Fountain car park which is a 10 minute walk away. Definitely recommend

Great apartment. Had everything we needed. Lovely view out to sea. Great bathroom with powerful shower.

Great location, excellent communication. We really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely book again.

It was a great stay, clean and lovely place with a friendly host. We loved the house, free of clutter and spacious, filled with light. Overall a great experience.

Jon and Lindsey’s lovely flat was the perfect base for us to explore Culross from. It was very clean and cosy, with wonderful views from the kitchen/living room. Everything we could have needed was provided for us. Jon was extremely helpful and understanding when we had to cancel our original booking due to a storm. Communication throughout our stay was great, we would definitely return.

The property is well located with a beautiful view of the bay. The apartment is well equipped and well laid out. Access to the apartment is easy and the apartment is a comfortable walking distance from Edinburgh centre. Andrew communicates all needed information in a timely manner and was very pleasant. I would definitely book this apartment again for a future visit.

Victoria is an excellent host — very communicative and extremely helpful. The apartment is great, in a nice location, and easy to find. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, quiet, and comfortable place to stay
