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.

We really enjoyed our short break staying in Seascape. The shops were right on our doorstep or we could do a quieter walk to the castle or Kingswear. The view from the lounge window was magnificent with plenty to see. The apartment was very comfortable and well equiped. Thankyou for having us - we had a lovely time.

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!

Had such a lovely stay at the sail loft, Jen and her partner were instantly very welcoming, kind and accommodating. We felt very comfortable as soon as we arrived. Such beautiful interior and design, I can tell every detail was very thought through, which makes the place feel just that much more special. The view from the windows and balcony, was absolutely beautiful! It very peaceful. Would highly recommend this place to anyone, specially if you’re looking for somewhere quiet with a perfect view!

Enjoyed our stay very much, two excellent (but with different vibes) pubs a 5 minute walk away. Check food serving days though, Sunday to Tuesdays is limited (same applies over the water in Dartmouth). Easy and frequent passenger ferry and vehicle service to and from Dartmouth five minutes walk at bottom of road . Great vista from the apartment. Two excellent National Trust properties nearby, and lots of scenic walking. Plenty of exercise thanks to the gradients !

This was your second stay in this lovely apartment. It's cozy, well decorated and furnished with excellent towels & linen. But it's all about the views. We booked knowing that it would almost certainly be a rainy week in March but we didn't mind as we'd happily potter about inside taking in the vista if so. As it turned out it was glorious and we got to explore the gorgeous surroundings more than we thought. We'll definitely be back, just hope it's available when we book! Thanks Freya.

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.

This place is absolutely amazing. There is nothing not to love about it. James is the perfect host with excellent communication and the cake was fantastic If your looking for a truly spectacular house in the most peaceful peaceful location and look no further

Neil’s house was perfect for our family stay - the house is large, clean, comfortably furnished, with everything you could need for a lovely stay. We would heartily recommend this to other families or groups of friends - it has a fantastic location in the centre of town, about 5 mins walk to very centre, and the views of the estuary are gorgeous. Parking in the Caffa mill car park couldn’t be closer or easier, we’d happily return for another holiday! Thank you Neil :)

We stayed at Tristan’s beautiful house for 3 nights - 3 generations to celebrate a 85th birthday! It was perfect for us, the garage was a godsend for 1 car & to keep my father-in-law’s mobility scooter in! The location was amazing, a couple of pubs literally on the doorstep, the beach a 1 min stroll. Tristan was great at communicating - there was a little hiccup (nothing serious) and he sorted it immediately. Would we go back - in a heartbeat. Thanks for a great stay.

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!

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.

9 of us stayed three nights in November 2024. The apartment is amazing with spectacular views. Very clean, well equipped and comfortable. The balcony is the highlight with plenty of furniture and wide ranging views. Great location being a short stroll to town. Some of our party enjoyed the spa passes which is a nice added bonus. Recommend the Crab Shed restaurant. The house could have done with a few more consumables like dishwasher tablets and toilet roll. Not sure we should be buying those over a three night stay given the price of the accommodation. We loved it though. Highly recommended.

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

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.

Super property with magnificent views over Dart estuary. Uniquely designed with a nod to sailing, range and quality of kitchen equipment and china impressed us. Large bed with quite firm mattress. Veranda ideal for sunny days watching the boats and steam train. Easy amble down to the frequent ferries across to Dartmouth, even if a bit more strenuous on the return. Parking for 1 car a real bonus. Would happily book again.

Great location , 3 minutes from main town . private courtyard of properties sharing a single gated entrance . parking permits provided by Helena a must , but parking spots in the vicinity a lottery.

Matthew was an absolutely amazing host. We loved the experience from start to finish. The place is beautiful and spotlessly clean. Had the most wonderful weekend and will definitely be returning Matthew - you have been ace! Highly recommend this place and the hosts are fab.

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

Nicola was a very attentive host and quick to respond. Beautiful historic apartment. Lots of space and spotlessly clean. Peaceful area and about a 10 minute ride to the Barbican and the Hoe if you love being by the sea.

Rebecca 's place felt just like our home. Everything was exactly the same as described in the images. The apartment is neat and tidy; all amenities are functioning properly. The ambience was calm and quiet. Becki was indeed a kind, responsive and friendly host. The place is worth for its price, stay and amenities Nevertheless, I found it hard for the grocery shops which is almost 0.5- 1.0 miles away. Overall, it was great and lovely stay at Rebecca' s place.

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.
