Beachfront vacation rentals in Ards and North Down

Just back from our stay the apartment was spotless and had everything you could need and more. It was easy to find and clear instructions for access. Walking into the apartment it was so homely and warm and the view was amazing. The beds were lovely and comfortable. We had 2 dogs with us and the outside patio and grass area were so handy and closed in. The apartment is so handy for nearby amenities shop , coffee shops etc. We couldn't fault the apartment and John's gift of wheaten bread was appreciated. We would definitely return and couldn't recommend it highly enough.

We had a wonderful three days here and were blown away with the location and area. The cottage was cosy and tastefully decorated with a great kitchen and very comfy bed ! We slept so well to the sound of the sea and loved that we only had to go through the gate to get to the beach which was all ours ! Didn’t see a soul ! My dog Stephen loved it too and being 13 it was ideal for him to wobble around and get his feet in the water. We will definitely return in the future. Thankyou so much.

We just returned home from a weeks stay at Carols Coastguard Cottage and we are already planning on when to go back. While I’m sure the beautiful weather we had for our stay was just a blessing, the cottage was the perfect place to decompress for a week. The peace that came from sitting outside under the canopy, listening to waves while watching and making friends with the shore oath walkers (and their wonderful dogs) was exactly what we needed. But if you don’t feel like interacting, it’s very easy to just keep the gate closed and sit in a perfect solitude oasis. The walk to the village was very easy and we were delighted with the many options for meals, our favorites being Sozo and 6-3-1 and of course The Sipster, which we spent a wonderful night getting to know a group of locals who all knew of Carol and how amazing she is. I could go on forever about how great this place is but I only have 90 characters left so I’ll just say book now, you won’t regret it at all.

An excellent house in a quiet, scenic location. Large, well equipped kitchen for cooking, dining and socialising together. The house had everything we needed and we all slept really well. Would strongly recommend it for a family group(s) and for a quiet getaway to an amazing part of the country.

We had such an amazing stay :) The cottage was absolutely perfect! We really enjoyed our time on the beach and exploring the local area. It was the ideal location for family bonding. We cannot wait to return! Thanks to Judith for answering any extra questions I had & for giving clear instructions for our stay:)

Had a great time, lovely location right on the harbour front and the small room upstairs with the chairs in was just fabulous, sat there all the time we were in just looking out at the view. the place was lovely and will definitely stay again as I love portpatrick and the enclosed garden was great for the dog .

Amazing accomodation, lovely house with two sitting areas (perfect if you come with kids), all was exactly as described. Prime location, town and the beach are within walking distance, plenty to do in the sourrounding nature.

Thanks for having us. Beautiful apartment with amazing views!

Everything about the Cottage is first-class. The view is very special and it’s such a peaceful location but also a great base for getting out and exploring. Everything was as described on the listing but Donna went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. (Even stocking the cupboards with the kids’ favourite cereal!) Would highly recommend.

Was perfect peaceful the view was amazing 🤩 was perfect for me and my mum x tv had so many apps and channels. My dog loved it 🥰 looking already for dates to go again x

See Sea is in a brilliant location for being next to all the local amenities of Donaghadee. The view is stunning and we felt very safe in the flats and surrounding area. It really felt like a home from home with everything we needed!

Really enjoyable stay in clean comfortable apartment with lovely views in quiet residential area Lovely easily accessible coastal walks Would definable visit again

Unlike many Airbnbs, Neil and Jennifer Jane's place is as amazing as the photos. We stayed for a week and found the cottage clean, fully equipped, light, spacious and beautifully decorated. The surrounding coastline was like a private beach and wonderful for wildlife - we saw dolphins, crabs, starfish, cormorants, oyster catchers... Already planning a return!

We have stayed here a number of times and intend to return again as we love the place and Pamela.

The place was beautiful inside! Even better than the pictures. It has everything you could need for a holiday home. Beds super comfortable and the kitchen spacious for cooking. My only note would be that there really isn’t much in Cloughey if you want to go to restaurants etc on your doorstep but there are places you can go just a drive away and the view you get from the house of the beach makes it worthwhile. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Another great stay at a wonderful apartment. Immaculately clean, superb location, great communication from Dawn. Looking forward to our next visit. Many thanks!

We had the most lovely New Year in Portpatrick - a totally beautiful place and this house was directly over looking the water - you couldn't ask for more. There is a road immediately in front but don't worry about that as it was super quiet and not a problem in any shape. The property has great space for a big group (although there were only 6 of us) but we made use of everywhere and loved the movie room and the big space in the kitchen with the large table. It has everything you may need in the kitchen and so don't worry about bringing anything. A great place all round and wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thank you Lynne.

We had a wonderful stay. Perfect for a large group. Peaceful, though close to bars, shop and restaurants. A beautiful home, well equipped, and with a fabulous view, we will definitely return again

Beautiful apartment in a perfect location
