Beachfront vacation rentals in Argyll and Bute Council

If you are looking for off-the-beaten-track luxury with incredible wildlife, views of beautiful Loch Etive and the surrounding mountains which are second to none - then this is the place for you! Our family of 7 had a wonderful stay here and we were sad to leave. We highly recommend this Air BnB and we would love to visit again. Note: we were thankful to find teabags and coffee - but bring your own milk. ;)

This was the most incredibly beautiful property in a stunning location. Pier Cottage is so private and peaceful with views over Loch Striven where you can sit and relax whilst watching the array of wildlife around you or take the kayak out on the loch. The cottage was extremely comfortable and well appointment with everything you would need for you stay. If you are looking for somewhere to unplug from the world and completely relax - this is the ideal place.

Lovely place to stay in the middle of Bowmore. Great base for walking, cycling etc. on Islay. Lovely house with a stream through the garden.

What a fantastic stay we had at the Bothy. A wonderful setting, so pretty and tranquil. Loved sitting on the bench looking over the bay. Had a Lovely walk to the cafe for lunch. All the locals we spoke to were all so friendly. Thank you for a great holiday, we loved it.

We loved our stay here, the house & surroundings are beautiful. The photos of johns house were great but it’s actually more stunning in real life, we were so happy to stay here. It has everything you could need like a home from home and really don’t need to leave the property but it is great that there are 2 pubs within walking distance. The scenery and surrounding are just spectacular. John was very helpful and responded quickly when we contacted him. Highly recommend staying here. Thanks John, my family and I had a great time.

Lovely convenient flat overlooking the harbour. It was nice and cosy and suited us as a family of 4. The view was great in sun and the rain.

Lovely apartment within walking distance of Dunoon town centre. Kitchen was exceptionally well equipped and even had a slow cooker and air fryer if you wanted to cook ( we didn’t). Always cosy

Our stay at the Cottage was everything we imagined it would be . Beautiful views of the Loch from the window and so peacful and tranquil. The log Burner was ideal for cosy nights in and the local shop was very convenient . Will be back again . Sarah

Everything as described, a good host, Therese gave us information about local bakers and some eating establishments which were excellent. We would certainly go again, the weather was in our favour, which was another bonus

We enjoy this cottage so much that this is the 3rd time we have been. The perfect place to relax.

The Best Monday-to-Friday break we have had in Years. It is in a Great Location, easy to find & overlooks the Water. what more could you need?

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

Caravan was beautiful inside & out it was. spotless , it had everything you need & more and the small personal touches such a the welcome food items , toiletries , cleaning products the caravan had everything you could possibly want or need .

There was nothing i didn‘t like

Absolutely stunning place, genuinely one of the most beautiful accommodation and views we have ever seen. Derek communicated excellently throughout. If you are looking for a place to unplug for while this is the place!

Karen's place was just right. 10 seconds from the beach, 30m from the beginning of the Three Distilleries Pathway and a stones throw from local shops; the idea mix for a break to a beautiful island. The accommodation felt like home-from-home, was well presented and Karen's communication made things easy. I would highly recommend.

Our workforce confirmed that the accommodation and location were both superb. it was stormy one of the days and they said it was amazing watching the huge waves. Thank you again for allowing us to book your lovely house. Kind regards Caroline - The Wee House Company

Beautiful and homely cottage in a stunning setting. We saw highland cows, seals, hares and of course sheep, practically right on the doorstep. So quiet and peaceful, with amazing views at all times of day/ no matter the weather. Cally was an amazing host and always very helpful and easy to talk to. We loved meeting her dogs too!

Lovely and peaceful stay. Well situated. Comprehensive list of local taxis and eateries provided which was really handy.

Beautiful quiet setting and base to explore the area. We loved exploring by kayak and being greeted by seals every morning. Simon’s place was super comfortable, clean and well equipped. We’d love to return.

A real home away from home, I highly recommend staying here! The hosts are lovely, the location is beautiful, the beds are comfy and the house is immaculate. This is a real gem and the pictures just don't do it justice!

What a lovely place to stay. Beautiful views. Had everything we needed, was warm and comfortable. Had off road parking a definite bonus.
