Waterfront vacation rentals in Southern Europe

We stayed with Angeles and Paco for the 2nd time. We were looking forward to this months in advance. And it was just perfect, like the first time. Angeles and Paco are very accommodating and friendly people who are also always available if you have any questions. The apartment is just beautiful and the view from the windows is magnificent. What can we say, we are already planning our next stay at this extraordinary place.

What a great spot to stay, just up above the busy square. Quite when the doors are closed but amazing view and great patio when the doors are open. Federica was an amazing host and made us feel right at home!

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

We had an unforgettable stay at Tina and Fredy's. The view from the accommodation is simply breathtaking, a real slice of heaven in the middle of nature! The accommodation is beautiful and very clean. Tina and Fredy are lovely hosts, very available and always ready to help or answer our questions. We would recommend this place without a second thought and hope to be back one day! Once again, thank you for everything 😍

Amazing stay, with a speechless view 🌊

Jos’s place exceeded our expectations and our expectations were high given the photos. Located on the Panorama Express train line, we were able to travel to Interlaken, Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, Basel, Bern and Lucerne during our one week stay. The thing is, Bürglen and Lungren Lake were idyllic surroundings that harkened us away from the more touristy and populated areas. I am already trying to figure out a way to get back to this home away from home next year! I recommend this space without any reservation! The shower, laundry, and bed are all comfortable, and the view is outstanding. If that is not enough, the daily aroma of freshly cut grass should convince you to book!

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment! The absolutely stunning sea view is breathtaking, and the long sandy beach just across the street made it easy to enjoy the seaside every day. The location is fantastic—full of great restaurants and even places to rent bikes, so you can easily explore the beautiful coastline on two wheels. The apartment itself is clean, fresh, and modern, with all the kitchen appliances you need to cook comfortably. The bed is really comfy, and I loved that there were some books and even table games available for relaxing evenings in. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, I highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable seaside getaway!

We had a wonderful 6 days in this incredible apartment! Perfect location to explore Alicante, particularly as there’s a tram stop a couple of minutes walk away, as well as a beach to pop to for a morning dip! The apartment is even lovelier than in the photos and we loved spending time there (and in the hot tub on the roof terrace) looking out at the beautiful sea and mountain view.s. Communication with the hosts was excellent and we felt very well looked after. Thank you so much.

We had a fantastic time at the Marco Polo house! Beautiful surroundings and views enhanced by a very nice Mediterranean interior design. We loved the house and it was very convenient for us. You're minutes away from everything and from beautiful little coves where you can enjoy a morning swim :-) We highly recommend this airbnb.

Perfect stay at Louise appartement. Everything match expectations, nothing to complain and only enjoy :) thanks a lot Louise, very much appreciated.

This accommodation is perfect for a quiet retreat with stunning views of mountains and the beach from an elevated position. Access is via some narrow steep lanes but well worth it. Modern property with all facilities and perfect for a couple. Reading a book on the outside terrace overlooking the magnificent scenery was a real treat.

One of our favourite locations and Airbnb’s ever! The panoramic view was totally unmatched and the perfect way to start and end the day. Everything was perfect other than the bath kept leaking but to be honest, the amazing interior, patio, view and overall vibe trumped any small drawbacks. The location is perfect if you want to visit the city but have your own space and enjoy tranquility. 10 mins walk through the dunes to the beach, amazing little coves 20 ish min walk, beach bar and restaurants just around the corner in the car. Great communication, clean place, 12/10 views, comfy bed, everything you need for cooking! Could not recommend this stay more. We was absolutely gutted to leave. Thank you so much. If you are thinking about staying in this area this is your place!

It seems impossible to write something new about Maria and her wonderful place at the Douro River that has not been already commented and praised by previous guests. The 5-star review rating for Casa do Rio is very well earned: it is a piece of heaven, tucked away in the Douro Valley and Maria - and not to forget her husband, Jose (who does not get enough praise in other reviews) - are exceptional hosts. We stayed for 3 weeks, with a number of our friends coming to visit us for shorter stays. Maria accommodate all of our changing check-in and check-out needs without a glitch. We enjoyed taking advantage of the many activities and entertainment options - including massages by Hugo (a master of his craft) that the location provides. One thing to be aware of: There is no shopping option and limited restaurant choices available in walking distance, hence a car is almost a necessity for a longer stay.

A beautiful property. Boštjan was very helpful and checked in occasionally to see if there was anything we needed. The free beer and wine provided on arrival was a nice touch after a day of travel.

Josipa’s incredible space is only matched by her warm, wonderful hospitality. We were floored when we saw the views—exactly as stunning as the photos promised—but even more impressed with the intentional style + atmosphere of the impeccable space she has created. We were so glad we got to meet her in person and chat a bit, she is a ray of sunshine and warmth and made us feel so welcomed. The hardest part was leaving—especially after coming home to the apartment to find the sweetest bowl of fresh cherries she’d left for us. A very very special place.

The little house is a five star property with clean and comfortable furniture, amazing garden and breath taking lake views. We had all the amenities we needed for the entire stay and kathi have been very helpful. If you book this property, prepare to have an amazing private space but prepare to walk down some stairs to reach the little house.

Beautiful apartment in a great location. Amazing sea views. Quiet area but close to town. And Jennifer is a great host.

Everything as it is described. Fast and good responsive host.

Our first time booking with Airbnb & Jorge was exceptional. Beautiful apartment, spotlessly clean & in a lovely location. Went above & beyond to accommodate our date change due to original flights being cancelled, fantastic communication from start to end. A wonderful experience, thank you Jorge, we would love to return!

We spent a great week in Gwendolin's beautiful and well-kept apartment and felt right at home. The quiet location within walking distance to the Vallon des Auffes and many beautiful swimming opportunities is perfect. We spent beautiful long evenings on the fantastic roof terrace and would have preferred not to leave at all. Gwendolin was always super easy to reach, flexible and helpful. We would recommend the place to anyone and come back anytime.

I had a wonderful stay at this apartment! The place is spacious, beautifully designed, and has an amazing view of the sea. One of my favorite features was the large rooftop — it’s green, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing. Everything was clean, comfortable, and just as described. I truly enjoyed my time here and would definitely come back again. Highly recommended!

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.

Wow, what pleasant stay we had. This apartament is exactly like the pictures, even better because you can hear the waves from the bedroom which contributes to the whole relaxed environment. Gonzalo and his family were very responsive, Jose provided very useful tips for visiting Villajoyosa. We were a family of 4 traveling with 2 kids and we felt like home in this apartment. I would book it again in a heartbit. Thanks Gonzalo and family for your hospitality!

One of the Best Stays I’ve Ever Had – Simply Outstanding! It was my first time staying at this apartment and here’s my honest review. I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how incredible this apartment is. From the moment I walked in, I was blown away. The space is absolutely spotless and brand new everything feels so fresh, modern, and thoughtfully designed. Every little detail has been taken care of. It’s fully stocked with everything you could possibly need: high-quality toiletries, soft bathrobes, plenty of fresh towels, kitchen essentials you name it, it’s there. And the view is breathtaking doesn’t even begin to cover it. Waking up to that endless sea view each morning felt like a dream. It’s the kind of place that instantly makes you feel at peace. Whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee on the balcony or just relaxing inside, the ocean is right there, giving you a sense of calm and luxury all at once.
