Beachfront holiday rentals in Europe

My girlfriend and I adored this place. The houseboat design is beautiful and offered everything we wanted - a beautiful deck overlooking the water, private sleeping spaces, a sauna, nature everywhere, and a kind host. In fact, Ulrica tops my list of favorite hosts. She gave us great tips but also lots of space. I hope to be back!

Perfect place to stay, I’ll absolutely come back again if I come to Norway.👍

Clean place the owner was wonderful

Beautiful accommodation, very stylish. Great nature, very quiet, beautiful lake. We loved our stay. Not least because we were so kindly received by the whole family. We were totally thrilled and would come back immediately. Can't praise the hospitality enough. THANKS!

We absolutely loved our stay at Roland’s home. The views from the panoramic room were gorgeous all day and night - whenever we were on the property we were either enjoying that room or down at the peaceful lake shoreline. Roland was extremely helpful, a fantastic communicator, and gave a great recommendation for food. We went in many directions and packed our days full of experiences while here but loved coming “home” to Roland’s property to relax and recharge each day. The local town of Sarnen was also very charming! Would highly recommend this stay.

Host was attentive, responsive, and very understanding. Thank you for everything.

Great host. Met us when we checked in to go over the apartment and give us lots of information about Nice. The apartment is in a perfect spot with the tram stop on one side and a short walk to the beach on the other. It is a very central location. Everything we needed for the beach was there and there was a beautiful view. If you’re looking for a great place to stay in Nice, this is it.

We had an incredible stay at Gunnhild's place. The landscape is beautiful, elemental and surreal, and the unit is perfectly situated to take it all in. It's complete with all the amenities one would require, and Gunnhild was an absolutely warm and hospitable host. We would love to return sometime.

We had such a memorable stay! The location is like something out of a dream—tucked into volcanic rock by the sea, it feels like a hidden pirate cove at night. The suite was unique and thoughtfully designed, a refreshing change from the usual. While people may glance at their reflections in the windows, the space feels completely private. The warm rooftop pool is a highlight, with stunning views across the bay. The 200-step walk up to Oia isn’t difficult and is filled with breathtaking views and sunsets along the way. The host was incredibly responsive and friendly, making everything from communication to transfers seamless. A special thanks for quickly handling a request—it really made us feel cared for. The cleaning lady was also lovely: efficient and always friendly. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a truly special and unforgettable place to stay!

We had an amazing time. The place was very clean, views were stunning. Host was attentive and responsive. Care was given to provide many items to ensure we had all the items we needed on our arrival. Extremely thoughtful! We had two young children and were please to have everything we needed for them to lunch on arrival. So many special touches!! We had a hard time leaving, we hope to be back soon! Special thanks to Antonio, we won’t say goodbye but rather arrivederci !

Absolutely stunning. Anne Marie and her partner have created a peaceful oasis in paradise. She was so kind and flexible, even though we woke her up in the middle of the night after checking in late because of a delayed flight. We had a fantastic stay in Éze - and the location could not be beat. Book here!!

We have been to many countries so far. We visited Italy, Croatia, Hungary, Bułgaria, Canada,France but this place is the best . The house is very comfortable, cosy ,well equipped and it has its unique style.The garden is beautifull. We will always remember amazing sunsets and sunrises, the birds drinking water from the pool, the scent od flowers and plants.We used the pool few times a day. It was cleaned regulary. Kostas is a great host. We do appreciate his kindnese, care, generosity and hospitality. He gave us advice what is worth seeng, visiting. He even went with us to the town to do shopping. Kostas showed where we should buy the best vegetables, fruit, jest. Whatever you need he is always for you. Don't hesitate, just come to Dafni and spend gorgeous holidays.

This was the best property we stayed in on our 2 week Spain trip. It is even better than the pictures. The views are incredible. The home is very spacious and had everything we needed. Victor met us upon arriving and gave helpful instructions on everything in the home. He also recommended local restaurants and activities. My family loved the house so much that we had a hard time leaving each day for our planned activities. We all just wanted to stay at the house, swim in the pool and relax with the view. I highly recommend!

Amazing location!! Amazing apartment!! We loved every second of our stay here and would definitely recommend it. Beautiful views of the ocean and delicious restaurants super close by. 10/10.

If I could give Cristobal’s place more stars I would! Without doubt the best airbnb I’ve stayed in. The photos on the listing make it look pretty but it is even more gorgeous in reality! Such a tranquil and beautiful space to relax in. There are so many details which add up to make this a really special place, it’s a two minute walk from the sea, the plunge pool, outdoor shower and immaculate garden were a highlight and the furnishings were tasteful and comfy. Cristobal was responsive and couldn’t do enough to help. I’d recommend this place to anyone!

Absolutely stunning Villa. The views are insane. It’s very clean and spacious, in a very peaceful location. You do need a car to access the shops , restaurants and the beach. Gerasimos is very helpful and responsive. We came for a family wedding , my relative stayed in a sister property ( Mystique ) that was also stunning. I would highly recommend these Villas and will definitely return.

This was, without question, the most incredible Airbnb I have ever stayed at. The house is so private and cozy, the surroundings are absolutely gorgeous, and the views are amazing from every angle. I was so sad to leave that I was actually crying as we drove away. I hope to be back someday, this is such a special spot.

Perfectly located apartment from which you can enjoy a fantastic sunset in the evening. The beach bars are in the immediate vicinity. The center is about 15 minutes on foot. A plus point is the parking space belonging to the apartment and located on the property. We can definitely recommend the stylishly furnished beach house.

We're not going to beat around the bush and admit that we chose this apartment for its view... and it's really worth it! Almost hypnotizing, a treat. The apartment itself is very well appointed. The route of stairs and corridors surprises the first time, but it's worth it. Very well equipped and optimized. I highly recommend it for a getaway for 2 in Malo.

Fabulous Penthouse apartment, so very close to the beach and restaurants. Perfect location. Elisa, our host was super attentive, providing all the information we needed to ensure that our short break was a peaceful and relaxing experience. We had an early flight into Faro so Elisa arranged our transport ( Carlos was brilliant) and let us drop our bags off so we could get some lunch without the bother of dragging cases around. Elisa then messaged us at 1pm saying we could get in early as the penthouse was ready. During our stay Elisa made light touches to check that everything was ok which was most welcomed. A perfect host. Highly recommended.

Raquel is one of the most communicative and responsive hosts I’ve ever interacted with on Airbnb. The location of this home is unbelievable. I fell in love with Albufeira from the first few hours i was there, and couldn’t believe how well-situated this place was to all the fun the area has to offer. ACs and most amenities worked well. I’m not sure if it’s a design related to homes in that area, but the open bathroom in the master bedroom, including the shower design, seemed impractical. I needed to rearrange items in that area, and wipe the floor/toilet after every shower. The iron was unusable due to a stain on the ironing surface, and risk of damaging clothes. The washing machine was small and not very effective. We needed to do a lot of loads to clean our clothes, then air dry them, but glad we had a washer! Overall, this is a great place, Raquel’s a great host, and i recommend booking, for anyone visiting Albufeira. Great for 2 ppl, but could accommodate a couple more too. Enjoy!

We booked because another guest's review said "just go for it" and I would offer the same advice to others. We had a great time enjoying coffee & wine on the terrace while watching boat traffic on the Grand Canal. Although there are Vaporetto stops nearby, we walked almost everywhere we went and it was great to explore the neighborhood. For a quiet night in, stop by Fried Land (just around the corner) for excellent take-out pasta.

We had a best stay! Can't imagine a better location - walking distance from gorgeous, very quiet beaches...can't believe there were so few people at them. Perfect for bringing the dog to... He's not always to be trusted on busy beaches with people having their picnic lunches (!!) ... so these were perfect. Great to have the hose for cleaning the dog when arriving back. The cottage is lovely - big bedroom is super comfy, and the loft worked well also (though note in the description that there's not much room for moving around in it!). The bathroom is amazing - shower is incredible. We had lovely meals on the picnic table in front of the house, watching the water and saying hi to the occasional people passing by. The kitchen worked well, though for someone who loves to cook it required a little bit of creativity with only 2 burners, but it didnt stop us having delicious meals. Hosts were responsive and helpful. Would love to return - we didnt see seals this time so want to try again!

Just off the coast of Sardinia is a little a little slice of heaven. The home is exactly as per the photos and the scenery is spectacular. The host met us to set us up for succes upon check-in as there are many keys to ensure safety. We enjoyed many beaches and hikes near by. We explored local restaurants and loved the local people. We would absolutely return to stay.
