The Osborne Apartments - Apt 38 - 3 Bedrooms
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 - Central Dartmouth with views & parking
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.

Light and spacious ground floor apartment.
Very spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Friendly heloful unobtrusive host. Private space . Great base to explore Teignmouth and Shaldon. Highly recommended

3 The Bay
We booked a fairly last minute week for a family trip and we’re so glad we did!! The apartment was brilliantly situated and absolutely perfect for a family trip. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could want and everything was pristine clean. The hosts were so responsive and easy to contact and helped us with a few questions we had. Would absolutely recommend and can’t wait to book again soon.

Apartment 4 - Large studio rear view
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!

Sail Loft with views over lake, balcony & parking
Cannot fault this place and if this is the area you wish to visit, this is the place to stay. The loft is spotless with ample room and a lovely sunrise over the lake across the road is not to be missed. Jen is a terrific host and extremely friendly and approachable. She is proactive in the communication and offers extremely helpful advice on directions and things to do in the area. I will be looking to go back to the area again later this summer and will certainly be looking to stay with Jen again!

N° 12 The Salcombe
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.

Seaside Bay View Apartment
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.
Waterfront house rentals

Luxury beachside house, stunning views, Hallsands
Wonderful location and comfortable, well designed home. A little village out on its own with so much character and some great walks which are medium hard but good distances either way - to the left in the next village the Cricket Inn is delicious food and friendly staff - to the right a lighthouse. The views and beach really make this place… as well as being a close drive to Salcombe and Dartmouth. The house being is well stocked, stylish and comfortable so makes for easy living. We were a family of 7 and a dog and would highly recommend it. We did a Sainsbury’s food delivery to the house twice to make getting groceries easy and that worked perfectly too.

The Slipway Fowey Harbour, Parking 1 Min & Garden
We enjoyed a last minute weekend break at Slipway in Fowey with our children. Great location with lovely views over the estuary . Parking at carpark nearby. The house was nice and restful after a long journey. The garden had nice far reaching views. Lots of recommendations for local restaurants and things to do locally.

Criterion Cottage, Cawsand - Direct Sea Views
We had a very comfortable stay in beautiful surroundings, easy to reach local facilities. The view out over the coast was so lovely and very interesting watching both the sea and the boats coming and going. The house was clean and comfortable with plenty of equipment and when needed the heating worked well. The Old bakery is well worth a visit particularly loved their cinnamon snails and pizzas. We would certainly recommend it and would consider returning at some point in the future. We enjoyed a relaxing and refreshing stay and enjoyed exploring a part of Cornwall we hadn’t really been to before.

Pool, hot tub & water access nr Dartmouth
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!

Looe, Quayside house with views. Sleeps 6
Just got back from a lovely impromptu weekend in Looe with my 2 children age 5 & 8. We found it really easily thanks to great instructions and arrived to find the cottage warm, cosy and welcoming. The location is just perfect, in a quiet area and we couldn’t stop looking out of the window at the beautiful view of the river. It’s a pleasant 10 minute walk to the main centre of town where there were so many things to see and do. The shop across the road was really handy, and parking was always easy on the quayside. We will definitely be back as soon as we can!

Stunning views - Parking & Spa Passes - Sleeps 12
I rented the property for my 70th birthday to celebrate with my family. Everything exceeded my expectations. The view was exceptional and the house incredibly well equipped and maintained. I could not have asked for a nicer place to stay. We have all made some fantastic memories and all of the guests were delighted with the accommodation.

Waterfront holiday home in Fowey
As an adult family of 6, we had a fantastic long Easter weekend in this lovely property. Mark was very quick to respond to any communication and made everything very straightforward before and during our stay. We loved the location, with everything within easy walking distance. The views are to die for .... will definitely miss them and it felt like home from home. Love Fowey and love this beautiful property and will definitely be back again one day. Thank you!

The Dragon's Nest, beautiful, harbour side house.
The Dragon’s Nest is a great house in a central location in Brixham. Plenty of local amenities and recommendations from the host. The house is set over several floors so was ideal for us as a 3 generation family staying. Plenty of cutlery and crockery for children and a high chair available. Well stocked kitchen including salt/pepper/oil. Lynn was really quick to reply to any message I sent her, and kindly arranged early check in and late check out for us. She also kindly allowed us a shorter stay than they would otherwise have agreed to over the Easter holiday period. We had a fantastic stay. Thank you.

Super two bedroom apartment on Exmouth quay
From the moment we walked through the door, we knew we had found something special. The property was beautifully furnished, exuding warmth and comfort, and its immaculate cleanliness made it feel like a true home away from home. Although we didn’t spend much time inside, every facility we needed was thoughtfully provided, making our stay seamless and stress-free. But what truly set this experience apart was our incredible host. A genuinely lovely lady, she was attentive, accommodating, and ensured every detail was perfect. Her communication was fantastic, making everything effortless. And the cherry on top? A tin of chocolates awaiting us on arrival—a small but deeply meaningful gesture that showed how much she cares about her guests. This is more than just a place to stay; it’s an experience crafted with care and kindness. If you're looking for a warm, hassle-free getaway with an exceptional host, this is the one. Highly recommend!

Picturesque Mews Apartment Steps from Harbour
Great place to stay - clean and well equipped, especially appreciated the en-suite shower as well as an additional bathroom. Location is fantastic, literally steps away from the Marina and all restaurants. Parking passes are provided and never had a problem getting a space. Highly recommended.

Stay Salty | Perfect Central Location | 1000 SqFt!
Matthew was a fantastic host, extremely prompt with his reply clear instructions and plenty of recommendations. the apartment was better than the pictures. beautifully decorated, with so much space. Location is in the heart of the town so perfect for a seaseaside break in a Teignmouth. We will definitely be booking again!

Ground Floor Flat close to the beach with parking
We have stayed in Karen’s flat before. It is conveniently situated just around the corner from Preston Sands so is a quieter location but an easy, level walk to the sea. The private parking is a bonus at busy times and is reasonably spacious and easy to access. The flat was super clean and comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. Shops and takeaways all within easy walking distance too. Certainly hope to stay again and this is now the first place we check for availability when visiting our friends in the area.

Stylish 1 Bed Apartment in East Looe, Cornwall
Perfect location easy to access all areas. We parked in the more expensive nearby car park for convenience but you can park further away for less. Stairs were a bit of a challenge but the place was spotless.

Elegant apartment within historic Admiralty House
This apartment was beautiful in a beautiful building. Great location and high spec inside. Nice touch to leave us milk, bread and wine. Very kind. Thank you.

Welcome Retreats 🌤
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.

*last min offer*Luxury beach aprtment; sea views
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.
