Beachfront vacation rentals in Lewis and Harris

Location, location, location - that is why I choose this listing as my wife was joining me after a business trip to Scotland and I wanted to make sure she was comfortable and we had a nice place to stay. It wasn't inexpensive - this is probably the most we have ever paid - but I know my wife. Looking over the options in Portree, there was too much at risk choosing a B&B or hotel, I needed to be sure that the stay was excellent. And it was! The view was exceptional, the property clean and largely odor-free (it is next to a fish and chips shop, so the kitchen had a bit of an odor, but the bedrooms were odor-free!). I would stay here again, as noted, not inexpensive - but not many choices for AirBnb in Skye so this was by far the best choice in my opinion!

Staying at the Old Mission House was a tonic. The house is spacious, very well proportioned and tastefully furnished whilst the kitchen is comprehensively kitted out - down to blender and spices!. All appliances are modern and effortless to use (particularly the electric space heaters). Above all they fit the bill, are appropriately sized and located and function perfectly. The situation of the house is wonderful and the creatively landscaped garden which stretches and gives access to the lochside is heavenly. All you need is some cooperative weather - ideally with some sun. Should it be pouring, all is not lost as the 270 deg. views from the house can equally be enjoyed from within and are very immersive. Thank you, Una for a perfect holiday. We will surely be back! Au revoir Ian Camilleri, Malta

My wife and I had a fantastic relaxing stay at Strome over the festive period. The accommodation was perfect for us, had all we needed, and was spotlessly clean. Thanks for a great stay!

Diana’s place was perfect for our family holiday. The location is both tranquil and remote in the way we like but not far from interesting and beautiful places (Applecross, Torrodin, Plockton and Skye all less than an hour away). The house was comfy and looks right into loch Kishorn. It’s well equipped and there are great local amenities nearby in kishorn and loch carron. Milo (Diana’s partner) was a helpful and charming host and we would absolutely recommend this lovely house for a highland holiday.

This was the perfect Xmas getaway to escape all of the madness at home. We spent the week having dog walks on what felt like our own private beaches. The accommodation was well equipped and had extremely comfortable bedding. We also really appreciated the supply of fuel for the multi fuel stove. A warm, cosy and memorable week. Some lovely additional touches that were really appreciated. Hope to visit again.

Fantastic location and home ideal for us. Plenty space and lots of games, books, dvds and everything you could ever imagine needing for the kitchen. Heart of the home ❤️(as in Scotlands Home of theYear)the kitchen table or the red tartan chair in the living room . Would definitely stay again 😊

Cute place! Easy to find and get into, well-stocked with the essentials and very well set up. Nice linens and toiletries in the bathroom, and everything you'd need for cooking on the kitchen. The bed wasn't the best, but not terrible. Would definitely stay again!

A perfect 'croft' in an idyllic location. The accommodation was cosy, comfortable & spotless. Tony & Susan were great hosts; very helpful but not intrusive. We will never forget our stay. We doubt many other Airbnb hosts can offer seals swimming past the front window and the birth of a Highland calf - free of charge!

We stayed in George's Tin Sheds for only few days but we wish it would be longer. The place is really clean, feels new and taken care of. Its well equipped in terms of cooking appliances, and perfect for group cooking and just relaxing after long day of road tripping and hiking on Skye. Location is really nice - besides the amazing view from the living room, there is well equipped supermarket just few minutes away (by car). George was also super helpful host, ready to offer some useful tips about Skye Island and help with any problem.

This was our first visit to Plockton and definitely won’t be our last! We were originally staying in a remote area Isle of Skye but decided to mix it up and to see this charming town. Angie‘s home exceeded expectations with exceptional amenities, spectacular views of the water, and walking distance to several restaurants. There’s a lovely restaurant, The Shores Plockton, just two doors down with an exceptional wine menu and freshly caught seafood. They even have a small market with local goods and the freshest coffee in the mornings. Angie’s attention to detail and responsive communication was greatly appreciated given it was our first visit. We felt right at home and will definitely choose Angie’s place for our next visit!

West House is one our favourite Airbnb's we've stayed in. It's beautifully refurbished and very cosy. The cottage has everything you need, even wood and firelighters for the log burner. It's set in stunning surroundings right on the sea. David and Jayne are responsive hosts and have obviously taken great care to make the cottage welcoming to guests. We loved Skye and would be keen to come back to West House again.

Wonderful stay. Well situated to expore North and South UIst, with lovely cafe, fish shop, and wool shop, within easy access. Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Very thoughtfully, and tastefully, furnished and equipped. Lovely views of the loch, and very entertaining sheep wandering by. Robin and Michelle couldn't have been more helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our break in their beautiful cottage.

well we'll what can I say about Sarah.. she is just a beautiful wonderful host inside and out. the place is so spacious very neat and clean.had everything what we needed. fridge and freezer full of food and the most important thing is we could use everything that was so kind of Sarah.she couldn't do enough for us. always checking if we were comfortable and needed anything. loved staying every minute of it. Will definitely come in summer again.just felt like home.thank you so much for everything Sarah. hope you have a wonderful time at NEW YEAR.all the best for 2025 !!

Felt like home. We stayed at Braes Retreat for four weeks and we loved every minute. The location is great for travelling around Skye as it’s pretty central but it still has that quiet isolation that most people come to Skye looking for. The house has everything you need, it’s very clean and comfy and Iain and Ingrid are great hosts to help you out with any issues. As all the other reviews say, the garden is spectacular, the views are beautiful and it’s generally a really lovely place to stay.

I spent 12 days at Flora's, where Bothy, my vacation. From there I was able to explore the Isle of Skye...just fantastic,... The location is very good. I will be back. Flora and Jack are great hosts, Bothy was a dream....everything was perfect. I wholeheartedly thank them both for the great time. highly recommend 😊👍

We had a fabulous Christmas at An Dòbhran. The croft was modern, warm, comfortable, spacious, immaculately clean, the kitchen very well equipped and perfect for 4 adults. Duncan and Shona had left a welcome package of bread, milk and eggs, also a box of chocolates under the tree as a present, very thoughtful. Great communication before hand, Duncan answering all my questions and providing information. I cannot recommend a stay here highly enough, beautiful location, hotel and pub a short walk away, easy access for The Isle of Skye and Eilean Donan. We have stayed around this location many times before, and were very sad to leave.

I couldn't have chosen a better place to stay for my girls trip. This place is centrally located, quiet w beautiful views of the harbor and a dedicated parking spot. Beds were perfect, showers and baths, living area and game room and we appreciated 2 dryers as we were a group of 4 ladies with lots of hiking gear. The welcome pack was great too, I've been trylng to find those seaweed chips everywhere to no avail! It was serene and peaceful right from walking in the door. Every amenity and direction had been carefully thought out and I would absolutely recommend this place for anyone looking for a respite while exploring Isle of Skye, just phenomenal. While quiet it's just a quick walk up the steps to take advantage of all Portree has to offer.

We had an incredible stay at Aline Lodge. The lodge is really beautiful - top marks for all the fires having firewood, firefighters, and matches all ready to go. The electric Aga means the kitchen is always warm, and the view is world class. We went fishing twice (caught 11 trout!), clay pigeon shooting, used the sauna, and played table tennis and billiards. The kids went out on the boat around the loch and saw sea eagles, golden eagles, seals and a porpoise. Robert the gamekeeper was great - really responsive and happy to help. Could not recommend this highly enough - we will be back!
