Beach house vacation rentals in South West England

we highly rate this charming cottage for it's location, cleanliness & it's excellent host, Amy. the cottage is a few steps to Back Beach, it has everything we needed during our stay, & we're lucky to park near the door. restaurants, pubs, shops & the promenade are all walking distance. Teignmouth is a friendly town, & SEA-ESTA COTTAGE is the perfect place to spend our week's holiday in Devon. thank you, Amy, for hosting us, for the box of fudge, and, although we didn't forget anything, it was thoughtful of you to put the "something forgotten box" in the bedrooms. best wishes from Paul & family

We have just returned from an amazing stay at the House at Ryde Sands. The views from the lounge and master bedroom are STUNNING! The house was very clean and tidy and well equipped. I honestly don’t think we could have found anywhere better to stay. Thank you Beth & Scott xx

From the moment we arrived we knew we made the right choice, the accommodation was spotless & the views were amazing. If you want to get away and just switch off from the rat race we would highly recommend this little gem. Julie (the host) informed / updated us each step of the way, from how to get there, access to the key etc, any query was answered promptly, the information booklet was a great tool too, from operating the heating, TV etc. We will definitely return, thank you Julie

This was our second stay at the Dune Nest. We were happy to find this lovely cottage set in its flowery garden. Here, everything exudes calm and serenity. The house is cozy, the sea and its great beaches are just steps away. This was an amazing stay 🥰

Had a wonderful few days at this super house overlooking the sea. Spotless, well equipped and a cosy home from home. An excellent layout with the sitting room on the top floor with a superb sea view. Perfect location for the beach and other attractions. Helen has been a very friendly and helpful host. We loved our stay and we will be back. Thank you so much Helen and your family too.

What a fantastic place. You instantly felt like home from the moment you walked in, really clean and had everything you needed to cook meals from scratch in the kitchen. Great location if you don’t want to drive, everything is a couple minutes walk from the house - can easily walk to the beach or the shops without driving. Bonus for us, there was an EV charger that Sue remote controlled so we could just plug in and top the car up. Would love to stay again, not sure we’ll ever get weather this good again though.

Lovely base for a weekend in Newquay. The house is in a great location. Plenty of space for our group of four, comfortable beds and big communal areas downstairs. We didn't use the garden much but it's a nice space and great to have the option. There was a small issue with the flush in the downstairs toilet, but we weren't home a lot so it didn't really affect our stay too much. Ellie was very responsive and helpful in trying to resolve it. We would definitely stay here again!

Wow, the most incredible house. We rented Heather Down for the celebration of my parents 60th Wedding anniversary. There were 12 of us of varying ages and this house was perfect for us all. It had everything we needed and is very well thought out. The beds are very comfortable and there was plenty of wardrobe and drawer space for clothes. The rooms are all stunning and the view from the huge living room windows is something you could sit and stare at all day. A couple of small issues we had were sorted very quickly with great communication. We were lucky to have the most beautiful weather all week which was a huge bonus and allowed us to sit on the terrace and watch the sea and surfers while having a drink and bbq. We have had the most incredible family week and would all go back in a heartbeat

We had a really lovely time in this beautiful home. The pools (swimming and table!) were a real hit with all of us. The little ones loved running in the garden and playing football as well as swimming. We had a very relaxing time celebrating a big event.

Very homely and very well stocked caravan. Nice and quiet when we stayed. Parking space at the side big enough for 2 cars. Samantha was very helpful and very responsive to messages. Activity passes included making this a very reasonably priced place to stay.

Great place to stay, fabulous views. Mel is a great communicator. Swimming pool 2 min walk away. Grandchildren absolutely loved it (as did we all). Wouldn’t hesitate to visit again. Bonus was the weather was amazing for April.

Oceana really is a beautiful spacious house with fantastic views over the bay. Check in was super easy, we arrived a bit early and Sue was happy for us to leave our bags in the hall and go for lunch while the cleaners finished up. We were 2 family’s with 4 teenagers and 2 dogs and the house felt large enough for us all to be comfortable. All the bedrooms where clean and the beds were very comfy, bathrooms were good although we did run out of hot water the first day - note to future users - don’t all try and have a shower first thing. Saundersfoot is a lovely little town and has some fab restaurants and shops. From the initial booking Rob and his team were incredibly responsive to messages, friendly and helpful. One of us left an apple watch behind and Rob was straight on to getting it posted back - thanks Rob. It’s such a shame the house is already booked for next year May half term otherwise we would have booked again straight away.

We’re so glad we chose to stay at Halula Beach House for my hen do weekend, it was the perfect pad! Pool, hot tub, silent disco, huge table we could all sit round… and just a few minutes walk to the gorgeous beach. Would highly recommend it!

This property was absolutely stunning. We were delighted as soon as we checked in. High end kitchen appliances. Quality modern furniture. The outside space was incredible. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spotless and the bed linen extremely high quality. I would highly recommend this property. It’s better than the photos and we are now planning to book it again. This is a luxury property but well worth the price. Lots of space and easily accommodated our party of 8. Can’t fault one thing

Great house in lovely location. Layout suited us well (2 families with kids and grandparents). Washing facilities proved very useful. Pool rota worked well and there was always a time available that suited us (open 8am-7pm). Host responded quickly. Lacking house guidance but not a problem and host responded to advise. Note access into house could be an issue for less able and push chairs-steep steps to front and lowest step broken away (advised host so this might get fixed). Rear access via steps and narrow sloping and muddy path. Parking to rear -you block in your other car. Parking spaces not spacious but adequate. We loved it thank you Beach Retreats!

Fabulous stay. Great house in a wonderful location. Lots of space for all. Communication was excellent.

The house was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed with plenty of parking for all 3 of our cars. Goodrington was a lovely sun trap out of the wind, we loved Cantina! The beds were so comfy and every room so light & spacious.

Gemma’s place is stunning! Immaculately clean, well equipped and so welcoming! It was such a treat to come back from a breezy beach walk to a warm, cosy space. Gemma was super helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend!

We have had a fantastic week at Beachside! Beautiful house and garden just a few meters from the beach and sea! The house was extremely clean and very spacious! Des is a fantastic host, very clear instructions and recommendations and a kind gift left for us too… we would definitely look to return to Beachside! ☀️

We loved our week at Tides Reach. Very clean, spacious, comfortable and well equipped . It had everything we could need and more! Perfect location, just yards from the beach and amenities, with private parking. Dominic was a great host, kept us informed and easy to contact. Highly recommended!

A relatively new house tastefully decorated with a fully equipped kitchen which had plenty of extras to make preparing meals easy. Very comfy beds too. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks Angie. Recommended.

We had a wonderful stay at Sana's place in Totland Bay. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach, ideal for relaxing strolls and enjoying the sea views. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, making it a great base for exploring the Isle of Wight with a homely feeling. It’s beautifully decorated, with a personal touch evident in every detail. The bathroom was a bit compact, but that’s a small trade-off given how excellent the other amenities were. The coffee machine and massage chair were great touches. We loved the coffee so much we asked about the brand—turns out, Sana’s family owns the business, which made it even more special! Sana was a responsive and thoughtful host throughout. She kindly accommodated our last-minute request to change from 3 adults to 4 due to a family situation, and did so without any additional charge. We truly appreciated her understanding and flexibility. We’d be happy to return in the future!

Fantastically run. Everything you need and more in the house. Looks a million pounds in and out. Ideal spot if I was back for summer, shops, food and beach short walk with path away. Emily and everyone super helpful. Won’t regret booking 👍🏻

The best Airbnb we have ever stayed in!! Cannot recommend this place enough - the location was perfect, being so close to the beach was amazing and it was great to be near to Newquay, Padstow etc too. It truly felt like a home from home - had a great amount of space, comfy furniture and the welcome hamper was so thoughtful (even something for our pooch!). Everything we could have needed was provided and we just had the best weekend! We will definitely be booking again and can’t thank Barbara enough for our fantastic stay!
