Vacation rentals with beach access in Southern Europe

My family of 5, two parents and 3 adult children, all enjoyed our time in Matt's lovely apartment. There was plenty of space for all of us, lovely views and a welcome bottle of wine! What more could we ask for?

Our family of 3 stayed 11 nights at David's apartment in Nice and it was amazing. The location along the Promenade was a long walk from Old Nice but it offered the most amazing views of the entire Promenade and the sea, and the local neighborhood was charming and walkable. It was only a 10-minute car ride to the central train station, which is so convenient for traveling everywhere in the French Riviera. We attended the Monaco Grand Prix and the round-trip was really easy. Inside, the living room was spacious, bright and airy thanks to the large glass doors opening onto the Promenade. The master bedroom was also quite roomy with plenty of closets and a private balcony. The second bedroom was significantly smaller yet bright and featured a well-appointed adjacent bathroom. David and his team were incredibly professional and responsive to minor requests, and their communication is a model for other managers on Airbnb. We would highly recommend this unit for anyone staying in the Nice!

Absolutely incredible place. This is the only place you need to go in Switzerland. get a car and stay for a week. You will not be disappointed. Roland and Claudia are fantastic host.

Salvatore is a great host in his apartment is in a wonderful location, walking distance to everything. His recommendations for pizza, restaurants and a granita are perfect. The view from the balcony is wonderful, it is protected from the sun and the rain so perfect on a hot day or a rainy day. The bed is comfortable and the apartment is a nice studio. The parking garage on the other end of the island is only 15 minutes away so this whole area is a cute concentrated and small beauty. Because you are in the middle of it all so it might be a bit loud, especially on weekends nights until the time the places serving alcohol close. Nothing earplugs and a white noise app can’t fix. I would stay here again absolutely. Thank you Salvatore!!

We had an amazing stay in Torremolinos! The apartment was spotless, beautifully designed, and had everything we needed. Check-in was smooth and straightforward, and the hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We could not believe the views of this apartment, they were simply gorgeous. We are now hoping to return!

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.

Beautiful scenery, very quiet, very suitable for travelers who want to rest, the owner is also very kind and friendly, helped us use the washing machine and dryer, thank you very much🙏

I cannot recommend this listing enough! Praiano is quieter and less hectic compared to Positano and Amalfi and it was an amazing location for our few days on the Amalfi Coast. Pezz Pezz is the perfect location close to so many local restaurants and easily walkable down the steps to two beach clubs (One Fire and La Gavitella) as well as a lovely cocktail bar overlooking the sea (Cafe Mirante). La Gavitella also hosts a cooking class at their restaurant that can be accessed via the steps from the AirBnB. The hosts are very attentive to their guests and make check-in and check-out smooth and easy! The hosts were also kind enough to book a Taxi for us the evening before our departure so we could catch our ferry in Positano hassle free! The space is exactly as listed and incredibly clean and well kept. The views are exceptional and the surrounding area is safe and quiet. We would have loved to stay a few more days but are hoping we can make it back in the future!

We spent 1 week in this charming house. The terrace is great and the view is stunning. The house itself is built with a lot of love and you only hear the sound of the sea and the chirping of the birds. There is everything you need. Everything just fit 100 percent. There is a beautiful beach a 5-minute walk from the house. It takes about 8 minutes to get up, but it is easy to manage. The path is totally worth it. Shopping is also no problem, in the larger city of Akyaka, about 20 minutes by car, there is a well-stocked Migros, a butcher and a bakery. You can combine this well with a restaurant visit. It was perfect for us. Ali is a super nice young man and so is his family. In his restaurant, about 5 minutes by car towards Atyaka, there is very fine Gözleme. You just have to eat it. We felt so welcome! Thank you for that! Anytime again

Stromboli is magic and Renato's house is the ideal place to absorb all of this magic. Marco Polo is a beautifully simple home with near perfect aesthetics, both what location and what decoration is concerned. And that's a rare find for Italian short term rentals in whatever price range... The moment you arrive at the house, you slow down to the pace of the island. You settle into the rhythm of the waves and the distant grumble of the volcano. Life at its most essential. Thanks, Renato. We'll be back. For longer next time.

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.

We had an amazing time at this lovely house! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect—close to the river. What really stood out was the warm hospitality. Our host was incredibly kind and helpful, offering great local tips and making us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Porto. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

A true haven of peace. Nature accommodation with exceptional sea views. Very bright, well-equipped and very comfortable house. Luxury at your fingertips. Many visitors: goats, donkeys, cows, dogs and cats. A paradise for animal and nature lovers. Too bad a hotel complex is being built below (we are only at the beginning of the works so not annoying)

My favourite Airbnb experience to date. It was stunningly decorated, cozy and inviting - we enjoyed spending time in the space in-between beach hangs and afternoon strolls in the area. Maggie was friendly, welcoming, responsive and kind. She was a wonderful host! The home is close to so many beaches, restaurants and things to do. Truly perfect location and experience over all. Not to mention, Maggie gave us incredible recommendations for restaurants and things to do. 20/10 recommend. A dream vacation in Lagos.

Absolutely stunning location, absolutely nothing default, the only thing I would say is if you have mobility issues both the walkway up to the property and the stairs to the mezzanine bedroom could be a little bit challenging especially if you’ve had a few drinks, we are in our 60s and generally fitso it was no problem for us.

Kübra is the best Airbnb host I’ve ever interacted with - from before check in to after check out. We’d had a stressful drive to reach her home, and she immediately put a smile on all our faces! Also, her home is absolutely beautiful. It’s easy to tell how much love she’s put into make it a special (and clean!) place. The surrounding neighborhood is lively - with restaurants, wine bars, and more. I give Kübra’s place my highest recommendation.

Frank was a very genuine and friendly Maltese local. A true gentleman. He was so informative about his lovely island. We just wish we had more time than the 2 days that we had there.

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

Alex responds to the messages and requests very well. He made the process very easy. The place is exactly like the pictures, the view is even better in person! The only thing to note is the bathroom has a sliding door which doesn't close fully, might be best to be aware when staying with someone else :)

Loved our stay at Jesus’ place - it is beautifully presented and even better in person than in the pictures. Had everything we needed and appreciated the extra touches like water, crisps cans of drink etc on arrival - very thoughtful. The place is a great location - equal distance to old town and puerto banus so not too expensive by cab either way. The terrace is so gorgeous with lovely views and the pool is also lovely, clean and quiet. We will definitely be coming back.

Amazing place. We will be back!

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.

It was very nice from start to finish. Catherine welcomed us very warmly and was very warm. We felt very comfortable and would be happy to come back. The surroundings as well as the accommodation were very nice. The view priceless.

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.
