Waterfront vacation rentals in South Hams District

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.

Seascape is a prefectly located, immaculate and very well appointed apartment. Our expectations were high following the descriptions of the accomodation and these were met in full. Thanks to the owners for ensuring it was very clean and welcoming on our arrival.

Dawn & Richard were fantastic hosts. The accommodation was fantastic and spotless. Bed was very comfortable with great blinds to block out the light and the bathroom was lovely and clean. Couldn’t fault anything would definitely return.

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 Sail Loft was clean and well equipped with a lovely view of the lake. It was ideal for our next section of the South West Coast Path. Jen was a friendly and responsive host willing to share information and answer questions. No hesitation in recommending the property.

Everything correct on previous reviews. It’s just lovely. We enjoyed the peace being out of season. The apartment is exactly as specified, very well presented and equipped to a high standard. Light, comfortable with fabulous views wherever you look. Three different ferries across to Dartmouth walkable from the apartment. Great pubs and cafes this side in addition to many many in Dartmouth. Great walking in both directions as far or as brief as you fancy. Loads to do in the immediate local area. It’s well placed and kitted out for a complete recharge or an active stay - or a mix of the two!! Really recommend.

We had a wonderful few days in Salcombe at Freya's beautiful apartment. The views from the windows were wonderful and the apartment itself was perfect. There is nothing that could be improved - we loved it and already hoping to return. Thank you Freya for making us so welcome.

Lovely flat overlooking the sea. Just as described. Elegant and full of all the things you’d need. Right on the beach and very quiet given we stayed Friday and Saturday night.

Wonderful Views - this was my second stay at the Rocket house. The first owned by James. It was wonderful. The whole space is welcoming and the views spectacular. The fire in the room was a joy as the wind blew outside. We enjoyed some lovely walks and the pub down the hill is a nice bonus! Would love to return again.

We had a perfect out-of-season stay at Neil's house with our four parents who are all in their 80s and have fond memories of Fowey. The house was clean, light and comfortable with beautiful relaxing views from the front rooms. Plenty of space for 6 people without anyone feeling on top of one another. Easily walkable into the town centre with all its shops & restaurants. Parking was close - and good value following Neil's advice to get a weekly ticket. Access to the front door up the slope might be a bit challenging for the older or disabled visitor but our sprightly octogenarians managed it with determination and the wind behind them!

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!

We had a 2 night stay at Emilie's place and it went beyond our expectations. the house is beautiful with high ceilings, great decor and plenty of toilets and shower rooms. the 2 main bedrooms have stunning sea views. The kitchen is beautiful and had everything needed for your stay. The house is in a great locations, less than a 2 minute walk to the sea front and the main town and there's plenty of parking. Would definitely recommend this house as a place to stay.

Lovely situation and great spacious accomodation for 6 of us. House was beautifully furnished, clean and well equipped. We had a lovely boat trip around Looe Island. Fabulous walks from Looe along the coast, both east and west and river valley.

Mark was great a communication before , during and after our visit His place is pristine and attention to detail was superb All the bedrooms are spacious and spotless as with the whole property The outside balcony was a massive plus for me sitting out watching harbour life evolve and pass , I can’t recommend this property enough if you want a nice chilled holiday in a great setting this is the place 5 stars in my eyes

This is our second visit for us in two years. It is absolutely perfect for our family needs. This time 8 adults and our dog. The position makes it great for getting around without a car and allows everybody their own space and privacy. The up side down living makes best use of the space and dramatic views. We love it!

We loved staying in this comfortable house. What an amazing view! Max was very helpful and responsive. The place was spotlessly clean, beds were super comfy, towels very soft and fluffy. Right over the harbour, you could not ask for a better location. The weather was a washout even for February but we were warm and cozy inside.

We had a really lovely short break, the situation helped to make it special, so close to the sea and to our favourite restaurants. We thoroughly recommend The Beach and Rockfish for good food, and La Mar for a special treat. The apartment was beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean and equipped with everything we needed, even down to beach towels. The bed was supremely comfortable, there is a good shower and my husband says the television was easier to navigate than most in rental properties. Thank you Julie, we hope to return next year sometime to take full advantage of the beach towels!

Really lovely apartment in a great location, a very short walk to the seafront/harbour and town. Lots of extras like a welcome pack, toiletries, books, DVDs and parking permit (needed and very appreciated, we were able to park close by all weekend). Clean and tidy throughout. Host gives plenty of information and also contacted us to check in early once the apartment was ready, couldn't ask for more. Highly recommended.

Lovely large modern apartment exactly as described. The apartment was very comfortable and we felt right at home Based right in town, shops, restaurants, play area, green space and beach all just a few mins walk. We had a great weekend away. Would definitely visit again.

What an amazing stay at Karen’s - the only grudge I have is I didn’t have more time :( Karen’s place is superb - the location, the house, the communication - everything was spot on. I had read previous reviews and was expecting a very good experience but this was so much beyond. The apartment is right on the doorstep to the beach. It is situated at easy walking distance to the town centre and the neighbourhood is very peaceful and quiet. The apartment itself is lovely - there’s load of space, the rooms are very vibrant and it is built and maintained to a very very high standard. I would certainly stay here again.

This is the 7th time we have stayed in Looe using AirBnB, being a bit of a "busman's holiday" for us coming from another Cornish holiday village and Gemma's place was in an ideal location, very close to a carpark in between two great fresh bakeries for breakfast bread and cakes . The apartment was clean and fully equipped with all you would need and great WiFi and TV / streaming services - It also has a great view. Would totally recommend staying there

The flat was lovely, comfortable and calm after a day of exploring Plymouth. The bread, butter, wine and milk was also a lovely treat to be welcomed with! Nicola was very responsive when I called with a question and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Plymouth!

We really enjoyed our night at Rebecca's place. The apartment is really clean, in a great building and has everything you need. The location is really unusual and fun, we can highly recommend.

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.
