Waterfront apartment rentals

Light and spacious ground floor apartment.
Wonderful place to stay, we throughly enjoyed our week away. The apartment is very spacious, has great views and everything you need. There is a bus stop right outside, which we found handy and the train station is only a 20 min walk into town. We didn’t have the best weather to make use of the patio furniture as much as we’d have liked, but the time we did spend outside was enjoyable and peaceful. Dawn and Richard were great hosts, and the personal touches were a lovely thought. We would definitely stay again.

Charming Waterfront Maisonette
After a hectic weekend in London a peaceful few days away by the coast was much needed and Mark's place did not disappoint. The views were absolutely amazing, all you could hear were the birds singing and the sound of the steam train chugging along. The place was spotless and had everything you needed. Literally minutes away was a grocery store and two pubs which served great food and you can just hop on the ferry over to Dartmouth. Mark was a great communicator with very clear instructions. A great place to stay.

“On The Beach” has the best views in Shaldon
This place is amazing! we had a completely wonderful stay here. It has such beautiful views, was pristine, lovely comfy beds and is perfectly situated for a holiday in Shaldon. We couldn't fault it. Thank you Suki for a really lovely break.

Stunning views across Brixham harbour
We had a great stay, apartment was perfect. Location was right on the harbour with beautiful views. Spacious, clean, bright and airy. Loads to do in the local area. We parked in a road around 6 minutes walk away and didnt use the car once during our stay. we walked, caught local buses and ferrys. Would recommend the apartment and definitely use again. Area is fairly hilly so would not recommend for anyone who is less mobile

Luxury, waterside, industrial style
A fabulous apartment in a fantastic location. The place was stylish, very comfortable and oozed quality. Jose was a very responsive, friendly host. The guests I brought had a perfect first stay in Topsham and are already planning their next visit.

Penthouse with stunning views of the River Dart.
Another fabulous stay here. We always enjoy our time at Louise’s place. As always, extremely clean, well stocked, and lovely little personal touches and amazing views. Louise is always very helpful, lots of great recommendations. We will be back!

Devon Flat with a Sea View
Amazing stay at this lovely flat right across from The beach with sea views. The home is super quiet and the tub was amazing to relax after walking around the town. Very close to delicious restaurants like Lobster Longue. The host was so responsive and gave amazing local recommendations for food. And it’s a short 10min walk from the train station if you’re traveling in by. Highly recommend and would stay again.

Beachside, Torcross, between the Sea and the Ley
Fabulous apartment, extremely clean, spacious with quality fittings. Kitchen well stocked with everything you need. The location of the apartment is amazing, sea views to front and views of the nature reserve to the back. The balcony with seating was a great addition which we used every night to watch the sunset. We've stayed at quite a few places in South Devon and this was certainly the best and made for an amazing holiday. Private parking was an added bonus. Hope to be back.

Beachside cottage, with stunning river views
This was my third stay at Amy’s and won’t be the last. The home is outstanding and the back beach on your doorstep, the town is less than a few minutes away and all you need there. Lots of pubs and tea shops and I highly recommend a visit to Laura Wall Art for lovely gifts. Be back soon thank you Amy

Boutique Farmhouse & Log Fire Cabin
absolutely stunning place in the beautiful moorlands. Very private, close to the river and lots of horses, sheep a cows nearby. The garden is huge and the kids(and grownups) loved it. Great facilities, well equipped kitchen. Wendy was most helpful and very quick to respond. We might well make it an annual trip.

Luxury beachside house, stunning views, Hallsands
Fantastic location and property, photos do not really do it justice. Would defintely return and recommend to all. Access is on very narrow lanes but being on the coastal path and having such a fabulous beach on the doorstep meant our cars could stay parked for most of the stay. Listing states BBQ is gas - it's charcoal, helpful to know if planning a food delivery

Contemporary House@ Creekside
This property’s location is perfect, whether you want to stay on-site and enjoy the vistas of Dartmouth or use it as a base to thoroughly explore the environs. It’s only a short walk into Kingswear, where there is a car or foot ferry to get across to Dartmouth or the steam train which will take you to Paignton. Communication with Mark was thorough during every stage of the booking and stay. The accommodation is divine and we’ve rarely slept so well; a combination of the Savoir bed and serenity within this hillside property. Nothing about the host, property or location could be faulted; exemplary in every aspect.

Fantastic Beach House in exceptional location.
We had the most amazing week with our 4 boys at The Old Guard in May. We have been renting various properties in Hope Cove for many years. Wendy's property is now our absolute favourite!! Not only did we have fabulous weather but the location is just perfect for getting out on the kayaks etc The warm outdoor shower is brilliant for when you get back! The balcony is very large and a great space! The views from the balcony are spectacular and the sunsets incredible. The kitchen had everything you need. They utility area with washer and dryer is very useful staying with a family. The property was really well designed & clean and comfortable to stay in. Wendy had said the parking would be tight, but we got our 2 vehicles in no problem just a bit of time to go back and forth and one is a long wheelbase Mercedes Vito! We would definitely recommend staying here and would love to come back again! Thank you Wendy for all your messages and prompt replies when we had any questions.

Bar Lodge - Panoramic Salcombe & sea views
Bar Lodge is just stunning. The accommodation and decor were both great but it was the views from every level that it made it so very special (and a very friendly and inquisitive robin). Being on the south west coast path, we were expecting good walking but the friendliness of the tractor and ferry guys and other locals we met meant every outing was even better. Annie was proactive and accommodating from beginning to end and the property was clean and beautifully presented when we arrived. Thank you, we can't wait to come back!

The Slipway Fowey Harbour, Parking 1 Min & Garden
Really enjoyed our stay at the Slipway. Great location for walking into town and the property is very comfortable and well equipped. Nice view of the river from the property and communication with Neil very easy.

Looe, Quayside house with views. Sleeps 6
We loved our stay at Samantha's house. The view from the living room and master bedroom was stunning. The location was great, a short walk across the bridge to all the restaurants and shops. We took the ferry across a number of times too which was very handy! The place was spotlessly clean and really well equipped. It felt very homely. We had dinner in the nearby Sardine Factory restaurant and would highly recommend. The house is also a short scenic walk from Hannafore beach. Samantha was a very helpful and responsive host. We would happily stay there again!

Relaxing Retreat Close to Royal William Yard
We had a very comfortable stay. The flat was light and airy, with lovely decor (loved the prints of local scenes). It was spotlessly clean, with a comfortable bed and good water pressure in the shower. Tea bags, coffee, milk and a few extra goodies were provided. Anything else you can top up from the Lidl, conveniently located just around the corner. The flat was well situated for the waterfront and the train station and very close to Royal William Yard, Devil's Point and the Cremyll ferry over to Edgecombe Manor (all well worth a visit). ~The flat is next to a busy roundabout, but we didn't notice much noise, even with the windows open.

Period waterfront apartment - panoramic sea views
A very nice top floor apartment with glorious views of Plymouth Sound - it's hard to imagine a better location. Parking is very easy. Strongly recommended.

Picturesque Mews Apartment Steps from Harbour
Exactly as described. Place was perfect very friendly host. Definitely recommend!

Stay Salty | Perfect Central Location | 1000 SqFt!
Stay Salty was excelent, central location and very close to a car park. Dog friendly and a beach just round the corner within easy walking distance. a couple of 100 yds. As bad weather was expected on one day Matt offered to supply extra dog towels if needed, totally unexpected but shows the level of service. Teignmouth was good and within easy reach of larger town if the need was there. Would recommend it to anyone who fancied the area along the glourous South Devon Coast.

Plymouth Barbican boutique luxury Apartment
John’s apartment is fantastic! The photos are a true reflection of the space,modern, stylish, and spotlessly clean. From the start, John’s communication was excellent. He was helpful, responsive, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The dedicated parking space is a real bonus .it’s just a few steps away, and you can load and unload right at the apartment door, which made things super convenient. The location is great too, close to shops, food options, and even open water swimming if that’s your thing. I’d 100% recommend staying here and would definitely book again next time I’m in Plymouth.

Ground Floor Flat close to the beach with parking
A beautiful ground floor apartment in a great location for the sea and local amenities. Everything was presented beautifully and everything you could need was supplied. Karen was always quick to respond to any message. We would be very happy to stay again - certainly one of the best Airbnb’s we have stayed at.

The Yard Retreat - Free Secure Parking
Booked this Airbnb for a colleague working in the area, and it was absolutely perfect for our needs. The location was excellent—convenient, close to everything we needed. Communication with the host was smooth and responsive throughout the entire process, and check-in was incredibly easy and hassle-free. I would definitely recommend this place to others and wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future.

Stylish 1 Bed Apartment in East Looe, Cornwall
A fabulous location overlooking the river/harbour. Gemma's is a really nice 2nd floor apartment on level ground at the start of the main street and only a 10 minute walk to the beach. If you're OK with the stairs I thoroughly recommend it.
