Island vacation rentals in Western Europe

Nice host and beautiful surroundings through the interaction between human animals and nature ! Nicely arranged without electricity and water!

We loved our stay at this Pete & Jessica's! The property was secluded and peaceful, offering the perfect escape. The fenced-in yard was a great bonus, providing both privacy and a safe space to relax outdoors and for our dog to run around. The home itself was clean and cozy, with everything we needed. They were responsive and made sure our stay was seamless. If you're looking for a centralized cozy retreat, near everything, with a fence this is the perfect spot. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a fantastic stay! We were the only ones renting at the time, making it quite lovely to have the place ourselves. Emily is a fantastic cook, so I recommend planning at least a few meals through the host. If you do your own food, plan your meals (the host can take you shopping before leaving) because it costs for the boat ride to get more supplies. Belle and Bruno were the best four-legged hosts, so if you love large dogs, you will enjoy them as we did. They swim out to play with the dolphins pretty much daily! Eugene has a wealth of knowledge about what to do and see; he is your best resource. The young lad Omar helped with everything, including showing me how to fish.

Everything was great about Kreso's place. I especially like the story behind everything, how every year they had to start over and clean and prepare everything for the season. Fish was great, we even discovered we were artists. Thanks for evrything, see you again. :)

We were a family group of 5 adults and we very much enjoyed our stay. The rooms were pristine and spacious with incredible views via large windows . There were also cosy spaces for chats and board games. The wood stove was easy to use and provided a lovely warmth. This inviting home is very well organized ( loved the labels for the kitchen cupboards and drawers). We wish that we could have stayed longer.

This island and this experience, made so wonderful by our hosts, was one for the memory books! Our 2 days off the coast of Belize on “our own private island” was so incredible! Half of the island was ours with our private cabana and the most perfect deck with a hammock for afternoon naps…and the family’s home with their bar/restaurant was on the other half. The family’s way of life is different than most, but so interesting to learn about. The respect they have for nature is inspiring. Our food came straight from the ocean by Dustin, was prepared by Kim and placed on our plates—it was delish! Nick even got to dive after our conch we had for lunch. The best snorkeling I’ve ever seen, kayaking, napping, drinking, eating, chatting, relaxing and just being made this a memorable experience! We LOVED our time with the Ingersoll family! Oh,and bring beef jerky, trust me.

Our family of 4 immensely enjoyed the deck, private pool, and dock. The sunsets right from your back door are amazing! Would return in a heartbeat.

Wonderful secluded location. Equipped with everything you need. Mónica is a treasure! We'll be back.

Where to begin... Sjang's Cabin by the Sea was perfect in every way. We spent a week here and it was perfect for the two of us. The hosts were extremely friendly. The outdoor space was so accommodating to whatever we were feeling... sun, shade, sitting, lounging, eating, floating, snorkeling, kayaking, walking to restaurants, etc... We love to go and explore and we did plenty of that, but we also really enjoyed just hanging out at the cabin. We used the grill 3 different nights. This is not in the tourist district, but that suited us because we love to explore. We hiked Hooiberg Trail, swam in the Conchi Pools, snorkeled with turtles at Tres Trapi, explored Baby Beach, walked around the markets downtown, enjoyed a local Flag Day festival, learned some history at the Museum of Industry and the Royal Aruban Aloe Museum and Farm, and ate at many local restaurants. Many of these were 20-30 drive, but that would be the case no matter where you stay. You'll love your stay.

We had a wonderful time swimming, fishing off the dock (caught a nice sized large mouth bass & panfish) and boating. We enjoyed the paddle board, kayak and screened in porch. We used the fire pit one night before the mosquitoes came out. We didn’t use the hot tub. We rented a pontoon from Brett at Island View Resort. He also sold bait, gas and a map of the lake with tips for fishing the lake. We caught crappies, bass, panfish and northern. The bunkhouse was prefect for our two boys. Our daughter enjoyed the loft room. It was nice that there were 2 fans. The kitchen was well equipped and we liked having a large electric skillet. Didn’t use the washing machine except for washing the towels before we checked out. The beds were comfortable. We also liked the large dining room table -used it to play games in the evening. We’d definitely recommend getting peanut butter twists from Pattens restaurant in Orr. It was a very relaxing vacation. We’d definitely rent it again.

We had such a nice, relaxing stay. Everything was up to par with what I expected and what was advertised! We did have a little problem with tons of ants consuming our dinner, but that was partially our fault for leaving it on the counter x20 minutes. Still not sure where they all came from in such a fury, but it wasn’t a big enough problem to deduct any stars from our trip review or discourage anyone from staying! Just a mention of warning to use the refrigerator immediately! 😆 All in all, the big draw here was staying on Flamenco beach! We had a comfortable stay and absolutely loved how quiet the place was at night and how many people were always just quietly relaxing on their porches… such a vibe. Being able to walk out to Flamenco Beach any time you want—perfection! Parking was easy, but the road is VERY bumpy so go slow! Felt like I needed to apologize to our golf cart, lol!

Our favorite stop during our vacation. Such a wonderful, beautiful and special place. The cabin was comfortable and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and the sheets were soft. The entire process was easy. Ousamma was so accommodating and communicative. We will be returning in the next few summers. Our kids loved the goats and exploring the island. We loved the hot tub and the incredible views. Unmatched by anywhere we’ve visited. So much fun!

Jerry was super responsive and responded within minutes whenever we needed something, which was really appreciated (even around midnight 😅). The house is beautiful, very well furnished. Hot tub was a favourite and the river is incredibly scenic.

An unforgettable stay! I cannot say enough about Vera and Brian, their kindness speaks volumes. The island itself is a perfect retreat that will have you wishing you could stay longer.

What a fantastic destination to visit ! Owners were absolutely amazing and accommodating, cottage was clean and one of the most beautiful spots we have visited ! We will definitely be going back !

Monkey Beach is so private, you feel like you are on your own island. The cottage is beautiful inside but the view is just unreal. Everything is so comfortable—sofas, bed, sun beds. Kitchen is great with modern appliances, quartz countertops and everything you need. We loved our week and can’t wait to return! The hostess and property manager were great, communicative and helpful. Don’t read this because I want the place to myself.

If you're looking for peace and quiet, along with an amazing view of the ocean, this is the perfect place. Mark's instructions and guide were both incredibly helpful, guiding us from the airport to groceries before heading to our beautiful location for the week. Directions and instructions to get in were super easy. The cottage was absolutely amazing - we spent a great deal of time sitting on the deck or on the porch with coffee or wine, playing cribbage or reading. The private beach below was easily accessible by stairs and a great place for a walk with a cup of coffee. Be sure to make dinner reservations at The Cove, and arrive early to watch the sun set from the cliff bar during happy hour. Restful, relaxing, comfortable, wonderful.

Great location on beautiful long bay beach. Very private and quiet. The tiki hut was perfect for relaxing, playing cards, having a drink. Ritama was responsive and super helpful. Great location near Grace Bay and easy drive to the marina to meet diving boat. Would absolutely stay again.

Central location with all the amenities needed for a relaxing vacation. Favorite part was the large screened-in back porch that is steps away from the beach but with vegetation that provides privacy. Loved relaxing there in the morning to watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee and there is a table to have meals. Appreciate having washer and dryer to keep stuff clean. Beach and turquoise waters are beautiful.

We really loved our two week stay here. The rental unit was impeccably clean and well equipped. The beautiful bright bedroom had plenty of closet space and a comfortable king sized bed. The bathroom was very nice too - a great shower with lots of hot water. Any questions we had were promptly dealt with by the friendly hosts.They even brought us a surprise Valentine's Day gift of wine and chocolate, demonstrating their attentiveness and kindness. Our favourite spot was up on the deck by the private pool, overlooking the spectacular coloured waters of Chalk Sound. There are also two quiet beaches fairly close by to walk and see the sunset. We were looking for a quiet and peaceful spot to unwind and celebrate our anniversary - we could not have chosen a better place. We would love to return here and highly recommend Tiajuana's property.

This has been one of our absolute top stays. Tord and Silvia are wonderful hosts and have created an incredibly beautiful piece of heaven on Little Corn Island. It’s all so breathtaking and well thought out. It’s quiet, peaceful and private. The walk into town is easy. The farm is incredibly interesting, if you make time for a tour. To have the sea be the first and last things you see everyday is quite special. I highly recommend this home. It’s a true treat to stay here. If I go back to the island, I will absolutely plan it around this home’s availability.

Visiting the Åland Islands with my partner and our parents end of August and it was a beautiful stay!! Used the sauna, swam, BBQed and had lovely dinners 😊 it was windy the days we were there but could then take the little boat to a neighbouring island for the day and get out of the wind. Indoors is really cosy and warm as well so could imagine going any time of year 🥰

Implied beach was just out the side door but the property was on a cliff. You had to go next door through a gate and then down a long boat ramp to the sea.

Very nice place ❤️
