Beachfront vacation rentals in Europe

Cosy cottage next to the sea. Stunning views and peaceful location. The view of the stars at night was impressive - no light pollution. Lots of birds to watch and great rock pools. The house was warm with a log fire. The bedrooms were a good size. Beds were comfy with clean linen and bedding. We like the area and would like to come back and explore more soon.

Really nice little spot right by the beach! Great views and a really peaceful area. Lisa was so lovely and really responsive to any messages. Great communication and clear instructions with check in and check out. Really accommodating for our dog as well and made his first holiday perfect! We couldn't have asked for more 🥰

We have a lovely long weekend break. The cottage was perfect for what we wanted and lots of board games etc for the children to do. Not far from Rye and Hasting and having the shingle beach at the back of the garden is just lovely x

Everything about it was just perfect welcome pack amazing as well.Views gorgeous from lounge area great for family get together wonderful place to stay loved every minute.Thank you for everything.

We had a fabulous stay at Barefoot. The house was terrific - great set up inside, extremely clean and comfortable and with all we needed (and more) for a perfect few days at the beach. The location is amazing - literally right on the beach, nestled amongst beautiful dunes which the kids adored. And being able to step right onto the sand was glorious. Mark was extremely helpful with all we needed and also local recommendations - communication always v quick and easy. Thoroughly recommend staying at Barefoot! We are sure to be back!

We had a lovely stay at Donna and David's beach house. This was our first vacation with our newborn and it was just fantastic. The beach house is really nice and you can see that it was designed with a lot of love to the beach. We enjoyed every minute. Donna and David even offered us a high chair and a baby cot which was very nice of them!

Great accommodation and easy to get to and in a good location for various excursions, Manu was very nice, recommended places to visit and was always available for any problem

Words can't do this place justice, it is truly magical. My partner and I have been all over the UK using AirB&B and this place is easily the best we've stayed at. Location is perfect, the sound of the waves was calming and romantic, and it's almost like you have your own private beach right on your doorstep which makes the place feel much more expensive than it is. In fact the price was very reasonable for what you get. The house was immaculate, clean in every regard and well equipped. The Internet was better than mine and I live in Birmingham! Bed super comfy, sofas were proper ones not tiny showhome ones like a lot of AirB&B places have. Loved cooking in the kitchen it had everything I need and more. The Host was lovely and welcoming and responded quickly. Can't fault it in any way, eager to return. Thanks Esther

We as a family of 10 had a great time here. The villa was amazing, with lots of indoor and outdoor space, and the local area had walkable restaurants and shops. Couldn't ask for more from our hosts who were very proactive, helpful and friendly. Thanks Sam and Ben.

Our vacation went very well, we enjoyed every minute of it! Here is what we loved: + location. Steps to the beach, we went for a swim at least 2 times a day. No need to bring umbrella and chairs, you can come back and relax by the pool when you have your own private shade and lounge chairs. + friendly staff, that replied to our requests very quickly + nice and clean pool and garden + 5 minutes drive to the grocery stores and restaurants What could be improved: - bathrooms were clean but have seen better times and could be renovated - same goes for the kitchen Be aware that this gem is located near a very popular beach bar, music coming from it was sometimes very loud, Saturday night up until 3 a.m. Overall is is a clear recommendation, we would gladly stay there longer and are planning to return.

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

We loved our Stay at Scott’s place. His apartment is spacious, clean and only 100 metres walk to the 1st resort swimming pool where you can eat decent food and delicious Algarve orange juice if you like. The resort itself is a nice place to be and all the staff were very helpful. The closest beach and other restaurants/bars are just a short walk away. Yes the bed is comfortable and big. Would come back!

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.

Fantastic place! Quieter area with lots of restaurants, market, coffee shop near by. The hosts were great also. Highly recommend!

Fantastic stay at Casa de Juan! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our stay at Casa de Juan, hosted by Domenika, was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome. Domenika is a fantastic host—friendly, attentive, and always available for any questions or local tips. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Agnieszka, who handed us the keys and explained everything. She was very kind and made sure we felt at home right away. The house itself is beautiful: clean, stylishly decorated, and equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect—peaceful yet close to everything we wanted to visit. We loved the cozy atmosphere and the stunning outdoor space. In short, we highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great stay. We will definitely be back!

We LOVED our stay with Anne Marie. The home was beautiful, clean, roomy, and comfortable. And Anne Marie was a great host from start to finish. Our little family of 4 (kids 12 & 14) only used 3 bedrooms and couldn't use the lovely pool as it was too cold, but the sea was very nice for a kayak. Not very close to grocery stores. Gorgeous sunsets every night from various areas around the property.

We stayed at the lovely house for my 40th birthday weekend and had a brilliant time. The house is amazing and caters for absolutely everybody. Would highly recommend for a family break!! Helen was a fantastic host would go back without hesitation.

We had a fantastic time. The place Milna with great restaurants (fish, Dalmatian specialties, great local wines) can be reached in 3 minutes by car. The house itself was impeccably clean, perfectly equipped (Jaccuzi) and completely sufficient. The terrace with a beautiful view of the bay has a fantastic pool, a covered area and private access to the sea. Communication with Enis&Jasmina could not have been better - always available, always friendly and accommodating. It couldn't have been better! We will definitely be back!

We just returned from a 3-week stay at Irena's apartment & have so many things to rave about. First, the space itself: as many have mentioned, the view is spectacular, with a spacious & comfortable balcony AND a smaller front door table & chair set to enjoy it from. We had some unexpected health issues that forced us indoors more than we'd expected & that view, so grand & serene, really saved us during those times. The apartment itself was perfect for my husband and I. It's maintained in pristine condition, had everything we needed, and is incredibly cozy and comfortable (OMG, that bed and that leather sofa--SO comfortable!), and having rented a car, I can tell you, having free parking included was invaluable. Lastly, we have met many hosts over the years, but Irena is in a class by herself. Never have we met anyone so warm, accommodating, responsive, and helpful. She was our local angel and just so incredibly kind. If there is an Airbnb Hall of Fame she should definitely be in it!

Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful! Julie couldn't have been more helpful if she tried. A wonderful place to relax and rewind, also an ideal location for day tripping to the many castles, beaches and historic beautiful parts of the South Coast of Wales. This home is wonderful, with all the home comforts anyone will need, we couldn't have wanted for anything better. We SHALL return. Thank you Julie. x

We had an amazing stay at Mirela's place. Mirela was so helpful throughout and her mum, who met us for check in, was lovely and left us some treats for our stay! The apartment has everything you need inside and has 2 seating areas which are great for catching the sun. It is literally a few steps to the sea which was great for swimming in. We also used the dinghy and SUP for little paddles around the bay. Vis is a lovely little island, and we had planned to rent a scooter but ended up being content just swimming and chilling at the apartment. We used the bikes provided to cycle into Vis to stock up on groceries. It was about a 20 minute cycle, one big hill but manageable. We went at the end of October and the weather was about 20 degrees and sunny. We had an amazing time and wold recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing stay where you can swim, walk, cycle and SUP. Thanks Mirela and Zada! :)

We loved our stay over an extended weekend. As a retired group of five we enjoyed local walking, scenery. The hot tub was a great extra that was enjoyed. Lovely place to visit, it’s an area we know well, we enjoyed our time in this lovely location. The accommodation was excellent, lovely and clean and homely with great views. Sue is a great host and focused on making our stay enjoyable. On our list of return destinations.

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 …….

We like it very much, we spend 5 very quiet days, in front of the beach, apartment all well-equipped, full kitchen, Miquel and Isabel are very attentive.
