Beachfront holiday rentals in Europe

Absolutely beautiful place in such a beautiful setting. My hubby and I felt very at home here. Our two little dogs loved it. The beach barn was spotless. The photos of the place are true to what it's like, however, if you're organised like us and think of bringing along coffee pods as you've seen photos of the machine so to not use all of the host's pods. Be aware it is not a Dolce Gusto machine, they now have a Tassimo. Don't fall into buying the wrong pods like we did by looking at the photos🤦‍♀️😂 A very short walk to The Captain's Wife pub and 1988 Indian, the food at both of these places is lovely and definitely worth trying! Lots of things to do and places to see whilst here. We drove to the Barrages walking over to Cardiff Bay, definitely worth a visit and also try Cosmeston Lakes Country Park, lovely walk around there and the medieval village. Barry Island beach is also perfect, it's lovely, clean, and perfect for dogs! We'd love to return the beach barn again in the future.

Fantastic stay. We arrived in a storm and the host was incredibly helpful getting us safely to the cabin, late in the evening. The cabin was well equipped, we cooked a lot and it was warm with the heaters in the mornings. Excited to come back again! Thank you so much!

We stayed for three nights over half term. The photos don’t quite do this place justice - I’m not exactly an architectural connoisseur but the place is stunningly designed with bifold doors straight onto the beach and a fire with ‘floating chimney’ visible from 360 degrees in the living area. Jo was an amazing host and showed us around personally, as well as supplying a very nice welcome pack and ample firewood! Whilst being right on the beach, this always felt like a very peaceful location. We enjoyed being able to do a bit of beach combing from the door as well as walk to the nearby nature reserve. Also had a very nice day out at West Wittering which is a relatively short drive. The weather was mixed during our stay (it was February!), but this the place is equally well equipped for a bracing walk followed by time by the log fire and more sunny days. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a short break by the sea.

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.

We had an absolutely wonderful week in this great property- the direct access to the beach is very special - and the house is a real home, furnished for comfortable living rather than rental. Lots of gorgeous walks near by - great golf course up the road, handy EV charging point 2 mins walk away, and Ashford designer shopping outlet 30 mins drive away.

Lovely place, everything you could wish for - spacious, clean, comfortable, great location and a wonderful beachside balcony.

This place did not disappoint. Wanted to escape whilst working and entertaining the dogs. Perfect.

This is my 2nd stay and I love it here! So cozy, quite and exactly what you need to just get away Beds are comfy, so clean, kitchen has everything you need, log fire is a great bonus for cozy nights Can’t wait to come back!!

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…

We loved staying in Castelldefels at Sylvia’s place. A gracious host- Sylvia had taken the time to put together a reference of her favorite bakery, butcher, grocery, and many of the restaurants in the area. So very kind and thoughtful! We especially appreciated the tips she left re: the regional commuter train. It made spending time in Barcelona super convenient as we didn’t have to drive in and navigate the city traffic. Praiseworthy! We loved Castelldefels and very much enjoyed being right on the beach! The locals were most welcoming and helpful- our Spanish is fairly basic, but no challenges communicating. The apartment had everything one would need for a weekend or an extended stay. Groceries just 2 blocks away, bakery one, a multitude of restaurants within a short walking distance. Very clean, essentials provided like beach towels, umbrella, beach gear, etc. We loved Castelldefels and cannot wait to come back! Thank you for everything, Sylvia!

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.

I can recommand Dragans place, as he is a great host, the place with pool is really nice and there is so much do do and explore in this area! I will come again!

This is a really nice apartment in a quiet but still central part of town, with a stunning view of the town and the sea from the balcony and the rooftop, and even from the living room you can see the sea. Even in March we were able to sit outside in the sun quite a few times. Check-in was very easy, with Alex being very responsive and accomodating, and he did a great job welcoming us. The place is well equipped, including the kitchen. It's a great place to explore the area, as there is a train station with regular trains to Barcelona close by. The beach is just around the corner. Can highly recommend this place.

We had a great stay at Maria's. The area is really great & you can do everything on foot, whether it's a leisurely stroll along the Goldenmile or a visit to the marina. The apartment is well equipped & has everything you need. There were 2 of us, but there would also be enough space for 4 people. We felt very comfortable. A parking place is also available. The entire complex is very well maintained and has everything you need. We will be happy to come back :)

My family stayed for a break at the start of the Easter holidays and had a fantastic time. The house was spacious and just what we needed as a base for exploring the local area. Hot tub was such a bonus. Helen was a great host, responding to any queries we had really promptly. Would highly recommend

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!

From the moment we arrived we knew we made the right choice, the accommodation was spotless & the views were amazing. If you want to get away and just switch off from the rat race we would highly recommend this little gem. Julie (the host) informed / updated us each step of the way, from how to get there, access to the key etc, any query was answered promptly, the information booklet was a great tool too, from operating the heating, TV etc. We will definitely return, thank you Julie

A great stay with family. The site is beautiful and easy to live in. House is very nice, convenient and comfortable. An "off-the-world" place that we were looking for to rest. Caroline and Michel are very friendly and welcoming. We'll be happy to come back and enjoy this little sea of Gâvres that we don't get tired of.

we had such a wonderful stay!!! The apartment is magnificent, clean, fresh and fully stocked. Clare is so warm and a A1 hostess. we will definitely come back here again. we recommend everyone who wants to have a good vacation to come here!!

What a fantastic place. You instantly felt like home from the moment you walked in, really clean and had everything you needed to cook meals from scratch in the kitchen. Great location if you don’t want to drive, everything is a couple minutes walk from the house - can easily walk to the beach or the shops without driving. Bonus for us, there was an EV charger that Sue remote controlled so we could just plug in and top the car up. Would love to stay again, not sure we’ll ever get weather this good again though.

Stefan‘s place is absolutely and I can highly recommend it. If you are looking for peace and quiet for a few days this is exactly the right place for it. I will definitely come back

This was a 5 star plus experience. Everything about the holiday house was thought through and well planned. A very special place. We loved being amongst the family olive and orange grove. Highly rexommend.
