Beachfront vacation rentals in Dumfries and Galloway

We loved our stay here. The house was perfect with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We appreciated the blankets so we felt cozy on the sofa at night and the beds were so comfortable. There were plenty of spaces to park and there is easy access to the beach. A great place for sea glass hunters or if you just want to watch a beautiful sunset. We would definitely recommend Chad’s place. Thank you for a great stay.

Very comfortable and spotlessly clean accommodation in a beautiful location. A very relaxing and peaceful stay, thank you.

Our second stay at Smugglers. we love it. Perfect location and scenery amazing. Cozy and peaceful but amenities all there and in neighbourhood too. Liz was a great communicator, very proactive and understanding and a small hiccup was sorted immediately. Very happy and likely to return again. thank you.

The flat suited us perfectly. We know the area well and were lucky to be able to make the booking when our family were staying nearby.

We had an amazing long weekend in Kildonan. The apartment is even better than the photo's, was very clean and had everything you needed. The shower was especially good, wonderful pressure and lots of hot water. We had dinner in the bistro below the apartment and the food was delicious. There are also lovely restaurants in Whiting Bay and Brodrick. It was a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend staying here.

Excellent 3 day stay at the lodge. A welcoming heat as we opened the door although we arrived on a bright sunshine day... First impression was clean and airy although lodge would benefit from a thorough deep clean. Nicely decorated throughout; even the summerhouse that we enjoyed and relaxed for an afternoon until the chill set in early evening. Hot tub large and conveniently positioned right outside glass door from main bedroom. Not as well equipped kitchen as other properties but that did not cause any issues. We did have to buy basics; salt, pepper, oil, cling film, tissues however the write up clearly states there are no local services so come prepared! Beds very comfortable although windows will benefit from black out curtains as the slatted blinds did not protect against the early morning sushine!!

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 .

This was exactly what we needed. Peaceful, relaxing surroundings, right across from the sea. We liked it so much we were looking at the prices of similar properties in the area! Red deer, hares, birds and the elusive otter were all seen from the comfort of the cottage. Take some binoculars and your camera. We spent all of our time there in the conservatory watching the ever changing scenery/waves or outside in the garden. Good spot for exploring surrounding areas and the locals are very friendly. Yes, the cottage could do with a little bit of TLC but the bed was comfy, modern kitchen, iron and board, and we were confident that the dogs could safely be outside as it was securely enclosed. Dogs also enjoyed their surprise treats - thanks.

Beautiful two days at the caravan .. Jonathan was so welcoming and showed us round , where to find everything and where we could walk in the park etc . Hot tub was all ready , spent most of my weekend there . Perfect location on the park , just lots of sun , peace and relaxation as was needed . Hope. To be back soon !!

We had a lovely family stay at George & Connor’s caravan. Greeted with a warm welcome, the caravan was spotless, homely and comfortable. Beachfront location, short walk to the central points (entertainment etc) and lots of activities to book and do. We had a great time and will definitely book again.

We had a lovely stay at Gillian’s caravan , it had everything we needed and the communication with Gillian was great .

Brilliant host very easy to communicate with all very easy plus some food stuffs in cupboard can use. Bonus up to 11am check out wee bit of a lie in to. Part of Scotland I've never been to so will definitely recommend and will return.

Spotless, beautifully decorated, smelt so clean and fresh on arrival. Lovely touches like toiletries, tea, coffee, hand wash etc. like a hotel but in a caravan. Beautiful surroundings. Had a BBQ on the beach. Tried the entertainment, arcade, restaurant and all very good. We, as a family of 4, had the very best time. Would highly recommend, Matt was on the end of the phone and everything was made super easy. Will definitely be returning and would suggest to anyone that this is absolutely perfect for a family holiday that you can do as much or as little as you want and matt’s caravan ticked every box. Cannot recommend highly enough. Loved it. Thank you

Fantastic stay at the sea cubby! A perfect place to recharge and relax, with amazing views, wildlife and lovely accommodation. It was a perfect size for us. Additionally, the cubby has been kitted out with helpful items that you need whilst away - tea, coffee, lovely linen and plenty of great local recommendations which we tried out. The place was super cosy as well considering the coastal location. Would love to come back.

What an amazing experience. Communication was fast, accurate and informative. The space was equipped to a very high standard with all you could ever need. The beds were amazing, comfortable with crisp white bedsing. 2 bathrooms were well designed. The garden is gorgeous and the local area has, possibly, some of the best views ive ever seen. Woke up refreshed to birdsong every morning. The welcome pack was generous and appreciated We'll be back!

My friends and I stayed at Cathy's place, the home is actually nicer than the pictures suggested, big table for dining and plenty of places to gather in the house. Plenty space for parking but be aware the road in is single track and narrow. Good location a short walk away from local cafe and pubs.

Our experience at this property in Scotland was wonderful from start to finish. The booking process was straightforward, and our reservation was confirmed almost immediately, making everything effortless. Arriving at the property, however, turned into quite an adventure. We arrived in the evening amid heavy rain, with visibility low, and had to navigate a few remaining potholes along the way (though most had been filled in). Thankfully, we managed to find the key safe, unload our luggage, and settle in for the night. The next morning was a completely different scene. We woke up to clear skies and stunning views across the bay from both the bedroom and the lounge—it was breathtaking. Our first instinct was to get dressed and head straight to the beach for a morning walk, which was the perfect way to start the day. Inside, the house is beautifully decorated and immaculately clean, with attention to detail everywhere. Premium shower gels were stocked in the bathrooms—a thoughtful touch

Great house with amazing views over the coast. The house is very clean and tidy, and has all the cooking equipment required for self catering. There is also an lovely garden with outdoor furniture. Auchencairn is a nice village with excellent coastal and hill walks, as well as a very useful shop/cafe.

if you like a beach front property then this is ideal. Property was as described clean well presented with great outlook.

Birds nest was the perfect place for my parents to stay ( rest of family was nearby) during our holiday in this beautiful spot. The wee cottage is very well equipped and appointed. Due to an oversight on our side we had rather a last min stress which Margaret was quick to help me resolve and she was wonderfully reassuring . A perfect get away spot for any couple or individual! We will certainly be back

The Tower Lodge is a beautiful Victorian gatehouse, which is part of Auchencairn House. It sits next to a quiet single track, coastal road on the edge of the estate. The location is private and quiet. It's warm and cozy on the inside. The view from the bedroom window is beautiful over Solway Firth towards Hestan Island. The area around the Lodge is wooded with many birds and other wildlife. Be warned though, as the bathroom is on the fourth floor, when you're down in the kitchen on the first floor, it's quite a climb via a spiral staircase to the bathroom ;-), but that's also one of the joys of this accommodation. We called the Tower Lodge "our little castle" for a week. The area around the Tower Lodge is well suited for outdoor activities. We went on a few coastal hikes near the Tower Lodge and did longer day trips to the Galloway Forst Park.
