Beachfront vacation rentals in Northern Europe

We had a great stay. The house is fantastic and right on the beach with a beach cafe just 100 metres away. James was really responsive and helpful.

myself and my partner and our dog chez had a 3 night stay. looking for peace and quiet and that was exactly what we got. The property was immaculate. Shower was amazing and the bed was so comfortable. Many thanks to lisa for having us stay in your lovely home.

This is a lovely house in a fantastic location in Ilfracombe. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and spacious and it was great to be able to have breakfast outside looking at the harbour. For us it was a perfect base to explore the South West coastal path in two directions, Woolacombe and Coombe Martin, the walks were spectacular and well marked. We tried several very good restaurants within the town which was lively and interesting. Good idea to bring any food, coffee, tea etc that you need with you for when you get there, or there are shops within easy walking distance. A great place for a holiday base and I would recommend it.

We stayed here for a hen party and my expectations were well passed! The place felt so homely and welcoming and was beautifully decorated. The hot tub was a big highlight and felt so clean! The hosts were easy to contact and made it a very easy booking and stay. Thank you so much, we had a fab time and the bride is so happy!!!

We had a lovely stay at Carey's place. The flat was clean, comfortable and warm, with plenty of space. It was well-equipped with everything we needed and the little outside space was a fabulous sun trap. We found it to be fairly quiet, despite the close proximity to a takeaway. The flat is in a great location, within easy reach of the shore / beach walks and a short drive to the new forest. Carey was a great host, providing plenty of information ahead of the visit and also providing an extensive welcome folder. We would love to return when visiting friends in the area again in the future.

Stayed at West View Beach House with my sister and couldn’t have picked a better spot for a peaceful escape. The location is unbeatable – right on the beach, so you're treated to sweeping views, constant birdsong, and the gentle rhythm of the tide coming in and out. We spent hours just watching the sea, listening to the waves, and soaking up those gorgeous sunsets – absolutely magical. The cottage itself is beautifully kept — clean, comfy, and tastefully decorated with a few quirky seaside touches (yes, I’m talking about the shark seat). We felt at home straight away. Would 100% recommend if you’re after a proper getaway from the hustle. Peaceful, pretty, and totally good for the soul.

The cottage was well presented with lots of lovely things to make us feel at home. There was a very nice selection of essentials provided as well as a cream tea for 2 which was very much appreciated. Very dog friendly with extra dog blankets and towels if we needed them. Gaynor was a great host and the welcome pack was full of info. The beach is wonderful and so close to the cottage, it was great to be able to walk the dog on the beach before breakfast. Watson's cafe is a must and there a few pubs in the local area worth a visit. The park is very quiet which was very nice when your reading a book with a cup of tea or a glass of wine. I have already booked my trip for next year, would definitely recommend.

Fabulous place to stay in Stonehaven, location great, apartment well presented, clean and comfortable with fantastic view of the bay. Dean is a great host providing lots of helpful information and recommendations. We appreciated the welcome pack and gift 🎁. There are lovely strolls from the apartment and also a fabulous walk to Dunnottar Castle. We couldn't have wished for a nicer place to stay.

A group of 7 girlfriends stayed at Ruben’s house to celebrate our special birthdays. The house was perfect. It was bright, clean and kitted out with everything we needed. The facilities were great, the pool was lovely to cool off in, in the sunshine, sunbeds were comfy and the various seating areas and bar were perfect for having an evening drink or sharing a meal. The decor was modern and well presented with lovely bathrooms and bedrooms. The location is wonderful. Ten minutes walk to the beach, some bars and supermarket. There are also some lovely local places to eat nearby. It is slightly outside Benalmadena, which meant it was quieter and more sedate, just what we were looking for. If you wanted the livelier areas, they are still within walking distance from the house. Ruben was incredibly responsive to messages, really helpful and accommodating. We couldn’t have asked for more from him. We had a fantastic few days here and would definitely return. Well worth it. Thank you Ruben.

Gorgeous beach just a little walk away. Town is very nice w beach bars etc. house has awesome views. Views when in pool are not good due to wall. Suggest to maybe put up acrylic wall? Host was super responsive. We loved our stay at this very large house!

just as expected, location is great and access directly to the beach. restaurants and food store minutes walking. overall nice place. the only issue was it's on the main road so the front has traffic noise but only in the day as night is quiet with few cars. the building carries noise a bit, we had neighbors that were noisy in the day with kids, so that of course is just a matter of who's staying there. would stay again.

We just loved the location. Fabulous to step out on to the most amazing beach…

After staying a few days in the center of Barcelona, Silvia's place was a welcomed calm retreat on right on the beach. Silvia's communication, check in instructions and personalized touches around the apartment did not go unnoticed. Her place is impeccably well kept and quite honestly, the photos do not do it justice. The views to the beach and the walkability of the neighborhood are unmatched and I'd highly recommend this listing to anyone looking for a beachfront stay just outside of the city. Having arrived slightly earlier than planned, my mom had the chance to meet and speak with Silvia and go to know her briefly before she provided endless amounts of honest recommendations of her local favorite spots. Silvia's place didn't feel like the typical big business run property lacking those special personal touches and it was quite refreshing to see.

Our party of 6 adults stayed for 4 nights. Mailinda was extremely friendly, professional. responsive and helpful. She answered all our questions and helped arrange car rental. Daily service/cleaning service with clean towels and cleaning was beyond our expectations. The staff were courteous and friendly. The accommodations were comfortable, decor was lovely, and the location was fabulous. Located right on the ocean with private access to the beach was wonderful. Easy 5 minute drive to Oia allowed us to time our visits to avoid the busy tourist times. The island was very easy to explore. Wifi is available although the signal could be better. All in all we loved our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Santorini.

This townhome was everything we hoped for and more. The location is just unbeatable—directly above one of the beaches, with the most breathtaking views and unforgettable sunsets over the Mediterranean. The home is bright, airy, and well maintained. It’s super comfortable, with incredible roof terraces. Sitges is wonderfully walkable, and from this spot, you're steps from the beach and just minutes away from amazing restaurants, cute cafés, and charming shops. No need for a car—you can walk everywhere! Our host was absolutely lovely—so kind, thoughtful, and incredibly communicative. They made everything easy and seamless, and were always available for questions or local recommendations. Our welcome basket was perfect and generous (everything we needed for the first day or two before we made it to the market). This was one of our favorite stays ever, and we can’t wait to come back. If you’re thinking about booking—do it. You won’t regret it!

We had a magnificent 1 week thanks to the private beach and pool. A great house that can comfortably accommodate 8 people. It was clean and comfortable. 10 minutes from Kas center, the location was very good. Thank you to Mr. Hasan and Mr. Timuçin for their prompt communication.

Fantastic house in a great location. Plenty of space for the family and the grandparents. Hot tub was incredible. Amazing hosts very helpful. The house is well equipped with everything you could need and more. Thanks for having us!

Absolutely wonderful. Homey, quiet, far from the crowds and noise. Beautiful view. Comfortable. The perfect apartment for a weekend trip!

The apartment was perfect! We loved using the paddle board and boat in the little bay and relaxing by the sea on the terrace. We also enjoyed cycling into Vis to go to the shops and restaurants. Mirela and her parents couldn't have been more welcoming! As we arrived on a bank holiday, many places were closed but they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed - giving us lifts from the port to the apartment and checking which ships and restaurants would be open. We had a wonderful stay in Mirela's apartment and couldn't recommend it enough!

Listing as described, very clean, impeccable bedding. The terrace has an incredible view and sheltered from the wind. 😉 It has everything you need for a pleasant stay. We'll be happy to go back!

What a beautiful location and home for a stay in Cyprus. Stavros was amazing with his communication, personal touches and incredible hospitality. Would thoroughly recommend, we particularly enjoyed having breakfast on the beach and being in a great spot to explore the surroundings. Thank you Stavros.

I really like this place it’s lovely. Beautiful and peaceful place I will be back for sure , I really recommend to all of you to stay in the beautiful house …….

fantastic location in Perranporth.....right on the beach..... lovely homely bungalow with everything you needed..... although we didn't get to meet our host she was always contactable and very responsive and friendly.... a great few days away thank you Francesca

João's place is superb and unbeleivable. João welcomed us on site which was a great personal touch. He had fruits, snacks, drinks avialable for us on arrival. He took the time to explain to us all the specifics of his his place. João's place is the cleaniest we have seen by far in over 25+ luxury AirBnB reservations. Everything looked brand new from the appliances to the cutlery. The beds, sofas, chairs, outdoor furniture, etc, were all very comfortable. The hot tub is in a perfect location with views of the ocean and the coast and was - like everything else - the cleanest you have ever seen. The place is on top of a cliff, overlooking the beatiful beach of Olhos d'Agua with breathtaking views. The area is extremely safe and quiet, walkable distance to restaurants, small shops, etc. João's place has a direct access from the property to the trails of the coast which allow you to hike for kms on the coast depending on tide schedules. Overall a great place to experience the Algarves.
