Waterfront vacation rentals in West Devon District

We stayed in the downstairs flat about 10 years ago and loved it and the location which is why when we saw the flat still available we booked again. Still fascinating watching the boat yard working. Another plus is being able to walk into St Mawes in the evening for a drink. Will be returning.

We stayed in apartment 38 for a week in July 2021. It exceeded my expectations and the pictures do not do it justice (the pictures make it look a bit dated but it really isn’t). It is a lovely 3 bed apartment - very clean throughout. The bedrooms and bathroom are on the first floor and the stairs lead up to the living area and kitchen! The kitchen comes with a fridge, dishwasher, cooker and oven. You also get all your basic cooking utensils and dishes alongside cleaning products including dishwasher tablets. One thing I would suggest is taking some tupperware to store your food in or if you want to make a picnic. The description also stated they provided cooking oil - but there wasn’t any - so it’s worth taking some if you want to make a full english in the morning. We ordered a Tesco online shop which was delivered straight to the apartment without any problems. Note, the pools (indoor and outdoor) are not heated so can be quite cold. The indoor pool area is a bit tired looking with the paint peeling off the floor - but the kids still had a fab time. The gym is also well equipped with weight and cardio machines…but again some of the padding on the machines are a bit worn. Overall we had a fab time, the views are amazing. Meadfoot beach is literally on the doorstep and the town is only a 15min walk away. Paignton beach (10min drive) is great for the kids if you want a bit more hustle and bustle i.e. Pier with arcades and fairground. Also recommend The Inn on the Green for lovely pub grub - they are directly opposite the Paignton pier and the staff were fab too.

This was a first class stay. The studio was spotless, comfy and well-equipped. There was a lovely extra touch of home made chocolates on arrival. The host was very helpful, friendly and unobtrusive. Recommend!

The picture window makes this place just stunning - any time in the apartment we spent just looking out and enjoying the view. The road is quite busy and noisy but the view was definitely worth it. The apartment is really well kitted out with pretty crockery, rugs and throws available, a good collection of kitchen cleaning kit - sponges, washing up liquid, brushes etc. The small size dishwasher was very handy and there was a good selection of pots and pans as well. The bedrooms are smallish, but the main room is so lovely you only sleep in them, so that's fine - good storage in both them and the bathrooms cupboards so clutter is kept at bay. There is parking in the garage (which has a lift so handy for luggage transport) however it has very tight angles and with a big car we only ventured into it once! There is plenty of on street parking on the side road so no big issue - although during the day it is quite busy parking there. Overall a wonderful apartment - oh that window!

This was one of the most beautiful places I've ever stayed. The view is stunning, the place is so clean and such a good location. I'll be coming back for sure.

Louise is an incredible host. Her house is really well located, beautifully decorated and Louise has thought of everything to make your stay exceptional. We’re already booked in twice more this year!

We had a truly wonderful stay in Kingsbridge, made even better by staying in the beautiful Crabshell Quay apartment.With stunning views, comfortable beds, excellent furnishings and fittings, good sized rooms and well equipped kitchen, it was everything we expected and more . We loved our stay and would highly recommend the apartment to anyone who enjoys comfort , space and stunning views. Thank you.

Lovely host and amazing place to stay! We would recommand Lucy's flat to other travelers.

Central location right on the beach as described. Thoroughly pristine modern and clean - plus Wi-Fi, that we had not even considered. Amy also included extra welcome pack in case you had forgotten anything which was very, very thoughtful. Best sleep ever - very comfortable beds and bedding. Fantastic shower room. Towels included. Hive heating, so was cosy and warm without being too hot. Totally fantastic experience. Would highly recommend. We didn’t have to contact Amy at all. She kept us updated all the way. Superb host, superb property and host. Thank you Amy. We had a fabulous holiday x

We had the most beautiful, peaceful and relaxing stay at The Anchorage. The location was superb, and the views from the house were my personal favorite part. I spent every spare minute in the sunroom looking at the ocean. There was plenty of space for us to all be comfortable and my children especially enjoyed the kids room with bunk beds! The town is beautiful and there are so many different beach options around to choose from. It is definitely a little stressful driving in the village (coming from from an American haha) but that aside it was a perfect end to our vacation and I plan on booking again (this time with some friends or maybe extended family to fill up the many bedrooms!)

Perfect accommodation, great communication, very happy and would use again

We enjoyed a short break at The Slipway , a beautifully presented, well located house. It was spotlessly clean and very quiet, yet only a short wander into town. The view from the front windows is wonderful whatever the weather . Thank you for being such responsive hosts , offering an early check in and being very accommodating from booking to check out. We would highly recommend this house.

I cannot begin to describe how lovely our stay was. Tristan is the most amazing host we have ever had at an AirBnb. He was responsive to questions, helpful, caring, and just so sweet. He even helped us back our giant rental van into the garage when we arrived. We had a perfect welcome basket upon our arrival and staples left for us in the fridge, so we had everything we needed for a delicious breakfast the next day. The house itself is even nicer than pictures show. It’s beautiful, modern, and clean. The beds were very comfortable, and having three full bathrooms and an additional half bathroom was amazing, especially for a party of 6 people. The location was perfect, the ocean views were gorgeous, and the home was so comfortable that we didn’t want to leave. Any time we visit Lyme Regis in the future, we will always stay here!

Stayed for around 4 nights and had an absolutely wonderful winter holidays together with my young family. The house is stunning the interior design is lovely and and the views are heavenly. Log fire with plenty of fuel was a big hit! pool and hotub a once a day at least activity for the kids especially during bank holidays. The fully stocked playroom was perfect for our young children. Really captured some great memories together with our family in this peaceful location and setting and came away wanting more!

Our stay was absolutely perfect! The host went above and beyond, communicating quickly and making everything effortless. The house is stunning—beautifully decorated, incredibly homely, and so spacious. With 15 of us, including children, there was plenty of room for everyone to relax. The huge dining table was perfect for group meals, and the kitchen had everything we needed—loads of crockery, cutlery, and top-quality appliances. The beds were super comfortable, the showers worked perfectly, and every detail was well thought out. The location was spot-on, and nothing was scrimped on. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay—highly recommend!

Just got back from a lovely impromptu weekend in Looe with my 2 children age 5 & 8. We found it really easily thanks to great instructions and arrived to find the cottage warm, cosy and welcoming. The location is just perfect, in a quiet area and we couldn’t stop looking out of the window at the beautiful view of the river. It’s a pleasant 10 minute walk to the main centre of town where there were so many things to see and do. The shop across the road was really handy, and parking was always easy on the quayside. We will definitely be back as soon as we can!

We had a great short break away. The apartment was clean, comfortable and exactly as described. It is in a great location and would very much recommend others to visit this gem of a place.

Fantastic place, had everything we needed. The host made the apartment very welcoming and very clear instructions easy to follow. Looking forward to returning in the future.

Harry is the best possible kind of host. He’s friendly, very responsive and extremely communicative. His apartment is beautiful and very easy to use. The ONLY drawback that I have is nothing to do with Harry - the neighbourhood itself is a very private and quiet village and we were given a list in the lift requesting that we be very quiet. Aside from that - Harry is amazing and you will not find a better host. Thank you Harry!

A real gem of a flat, well positioned with own parking place just a few metres away. The flat was exceptionally well equipped, cosy but spacious with a lovely outlook towards the Fal and harbour. The kitchen area had everything for a short, or longer, stay and was a delight to work in. A lot more kitchen equipment is provided than the usual airbnb's. The main bedroom was full of light in the morning, the small balcony a bonus for sitting out with a cup of tea or coffee. The fixtures throughout the flat are quite new and very clean. We struggled with the cold bath tap, probably because of old hands. Elly provided a comprehensive guide for using all the equipment which was very helpful. The welcome basket of nibbles was a really nice touch. A quite delightful spot, we thoroughly enjoyed our week stay, thanks Elly.

Stayed here over the New Year period and it was perfect. Great location, the sea view was spectacular and the log burner was a great addition given the cold weather. Local pubs were so friendly and food was great. Will definitely return, thank you.

Easy to find, great location right in the heart of the Barbican within easy walking distance of pubs, bars, restaurants and local attractions including the harbour as well as shops. The property itself self is very well appointed ted and spotless. Added bonus of free parking and an electric car charger if needed.

very lovely place to stay , right on the front so had a nice view . very close to everything which was amazing and just a lovley place to stay would definitely recommend. Fantastic price as well for what you get.

Lovely apartment in a beautiful, peaceful location. Everything within walking distance.
