Island vacation rentals in Western Europe

Phyllis, & her daughter Jennifer, went above & beyond to make us, our 6yo & 12yo, and our crazy Bernedoodle feel very welcome. They seemed very happy to have us, and even offered us many of their personal things and private areas on their property to enjoy. Unique & beautiful surroundings that push you to relax, with a cozy/charming/glamping-style accommodation that makes you feel at home.

Extremely beautiful space on a very quiet and picturesque island. The place feels like a 5* hotel and the hosts were extremely helpful with local recommendations: it was nice to be close to the centre of Lyon but in your own peaceful neighbourhood

My husband, toddler, dog, and I loved our stay here. The sunsets here were so beautiful! The cottage felt like home & all the antique decor added so much charm. Check in was easy & Alexandra provided a lot of information on what to do in Door County.

Wunderschöne Insel zum Entspannen! Klein, aber fein! Mit zahmen Schafen und vielen Vögeln zum beobachten. Die Ausstattung ist sehr einfach, etwa wie bei einer Berghütte, dafür aber tolles Naturerlebnis und Urlaub von Autos, Hektik usw. Wir waren nun schon zum zweiten Mal da. Janne & Karin sind sehr freundlich.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Bungalow Under the Oaks. The space was clean and cozy, good for two people and a small dog. We enjoyed the fenced in yard and short drive to the beach and restaurants.

Logement conforme aux descriptions. Aline est une hôte très réactive et conciliante. Le logement est situé dans un environnement magnifique et les différentes choses mises à disposition sont un grand plus ,si la météo vous permet d’en profiter.

Carlo e Dino si sono dimostrati due host incredibili. Fin dal primo giorno ci hanno fatto sentire a casa, rendendosi disponibili a ogni eventuale richiesta. L'alloggio corrispondeva esattamente alla descrizione, e lo spazio esterno era meraviglioso. Nota di merito per il tetto, dal quale si vedeva perfettamente il tramonto nel mare. Se avremo l'occasione, torneremo sicuramente in questo alloggio.

We had a great stay at otters bunkhouse! Donald is a very friendly host with a lot of knowledge of the island st Lewis. We can highly recommend booking this accommodation.

We stayed at Cristina’s place for a week and had an absolutely wonderful time. The ocean views are stunning, and the flowers and plants throughout the property added to the calm atmosphere. After long days of hiking, the pool and hot tub were the perfect way to unwind. The room was thoughtfully equipped with everything we could possibly need—comfortable, clean, and full of small touches that made us feel right at home. Cristina was very responsive and kind throughout our stay. She and her family have created something truly special here—a peaceful retreat that feels both welcoming and unique. We’re already looking forward to our next visit and couldn’t recommend this place more highly!

Tee was an absolutely amazing host and very accommodating. She was responsive and flexible and shared some great local recommendations. Don't hesitate to stay at "my little hideaway", we loved our stay!!!

I absolutely loved my stay here! Tord & Sylvia were welcoming, communicative, and friendly. The place is stunning and peaceful. I love how you can enjoy the beach views from the porch, as well as take in the sunrise. From the pizza/BBQ area you can watch the sunset. I felt very safe here and was grateful for the organic veggies/fruit. Tord and Sylvia even gave me fresh fruits when they were ready, so nice! It was memorable and perfect; I cannot recommend Finca Valhall enough.

An Unforgettable Cabin Getaway! I recently stayed at this cabin, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment I arrived, everything was perfect. The cabin itself was beautifully maintained—clean, cozy, and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, surrounded by nature, making it the ideal escape from everyday life. What truly set this stay apart, though, was the outstanding service. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. They were incredibly welcoming, responsive, and genuinely cared that I had the best experience possible. It’s rare to find that level of hospitality these days, and it made all the difference. If you’re looking for a quiet, beautiful getaway with top-notch service, I can’t recommend this cabin enough. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Absolutely beautiful property, views caught our attention every day we walked in, a vehicle is definitely needed since it is a good distance away from the main tourist attractions 15-25 minutes but it was nice and quiet and perfect for our honeymoon!! Shiri and Jonathan was great hosts and communicated effectively and efficiently.

This was a last minute Anniversary trip. The cottage, as I like to describe it was amazing. From the stunning sunrises as you are waking to the sounds of the waves in the evenings. Noreen has thought of everything. The amenities are boundless. Anything you need is right there from glass and dinnerware, to snorkel gear, beach chairs, towels, etc. The location is remote, but you are just down the road from French Leave Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The bedding was by far the most comforatable we have experienced. This is the most romantic spot!!

Hermitage cottage was in a beautiful situation right on the river Lune. The cottage was clean and tidy. We enjoyed the hot tub, the barbecue and the outdoor seating. We were extremely fortunate with the weather and really enjoyed our stay. Walks around the estate were lovely. It is a lovely base to explore the Forest of Bowland and surrounding areas.

Murat Bey ve eşi çok misafirperver ve samimiydi, çok güzel evleri tertemizdi ve ihtiyaç olabilecek herşey mevcuttu. Çok iyi insanlardı, köpeğimizle çok güzel bir tatil yapabildik. Eve çok yakın bir koy mevcut, oldukça sakin ve temiz bir koydu. Onun dışında Beylik koyuna yakındı. Evin manzarası çok güzeldi ve bahçede manzaraya karşı oturmak çok keyifliydi. Sakin bir tatil için çok güzel bi yer. Murat Bey ve eşine samimi, yardımsever ev sahipliği için teşekkür ederiz.

Wie so viele Gäste zuvor sind auch wir begeistert gewesen von der Atmosphäre auf der kleinen Schäre und haben gleich noch kurzentschlossen um eine Woche verlängert. Therese ist ein Mega-Super-Host, die Kommunikation einwandfrei und herzlich. Die Insel bietet genau wie von uns erhofft die Chance, Abstand von der großen Welt zu bekommen (am besten allerdings den WLAN nicht einschalten!) und dafür eine kleine Welt zu entdecken mit Seevögeln, Bachstelzen und Hummeln. Allerdings sollten Gäste keine Spinnenphobie haben und auch nicht allergisch sein gegen Möwenschreie... Insgesamt eine intensive Erfahrung, auch mit sich selbst.

We spent an incredible 6 nights here. The views are out of this world. We loved the easy access to Sveta Nedilja's small but beautiful beach just below the house. The property has so many options for outside seating and lounging, and every corner is as beautiful as the next. We also loved the local restaurant, a 2 minute walk away! Marija is a wonderful, warm and kind host who made us feel so welcome. We cannot recommend this place highly enough!

This charming cottage on a rocky small island is for nature lovers who enjoy solitude and boatmanship.

Spacious, bright villa with great views. The location is quiet and private. The gated community is safe. Communication and service were excellent, it’s like having full concierge around the clock. Everything you want or need you can get help with. The kitchen is well equipped and we enjoyed excellent cappuccinos in the mornings. It’s a bit of a drive to West Bay but when you come home it’s so peaceful and relaxing that it is worth it. Our original Airbnb got canceled the day before our arrival and we were incredibly grateful that we found this gorgeous place and that they accommodated us so quickly and flawless.

We had an absolutely unforgettable stay at this stunning villa in Paxoi! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking views of the Ionian Sea, which could be enjoyed from almost every corner of the property. The villa itself is beautifully designed, with modern comforts. Every room was impeccably clean, spacious, and filled with natural light. The outdoor area was a paradise – we spent countless hours lounging by the pool, soaking in the sun, and enjoying meals on the terrace with a view that felt like a dream. The location is perfect for those looking to experience the tranquility and beauty of Paxoi. It’s secluded enough to offer complete privacy, yet just a short drive to charming villages and pristine beaches. The hosts were exceptional – incredibly warm, welcoming, and always available if we needed anything.

We had a fantastic stay at this villa in Crete! The location was absolutely perfect—centrally positioned on the island, it made exploring both the east and west sides, as well as all the nearby towns, super convenient. The house itself had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and supported throughout our visit. The grounds were impeccably maintained and much larger than the photos portray. One of the highlights was the charming taverna right next door, and there were plenty of other great restaurants less than 10 minutes away by car. The warm hospitality from everyone we met made it feel like a true home away from home. We can’t wait to return one day and would wholeheartedly recommend this villa to anyone planning a trip to Crete.

Très bel appartement, conforme aux photos. Tout est très propre et bien équipé. Le lieu où se situe la maison est paisible et juste au bord de la mer, à quelques mètres seulement, c’est très agréable. Merci à Agnieszka pour sa réactivité et ses conseils (notamment pour son accueil et la réservation de notre voiture). Nous reviendrons sans hésiter !

This was such a fun and unique experience. Loved everything about it. My husband and I came here as a birthday escape (his birthday is the day before mine) and enjoyed the relax time. We lead super busy lives with 3 kids so it was a nice change of pace to unplug and reconnect. Thanks for providing such a beautiful experience for people to enjoy. 10/10 would recommend.... worth every penny.
