Waterfront vacation rentals in Aberdeenshire

Leigh’s apartment is a cozy and well-equipped place with a lovely sea view—perfect for a short stay. It has everything you might need, from kitchen essentials to thoughtful touches that make you feel at home. Stonehaven itself is a relaxing spot, and great for families. The beach is just a short walk away, and there are fun kid-friendly activities nearby, like visiting local farms and exploring the castle. A great base to unwind and enjoy the area.

My colleagues stayed here and were happy with the flat, location and overall response from the host.

Very comfortable apartment close to amenities, shops and eating places. Well-equipped kitchen and efficient shower - and good use of space in the bedroom/sitting-room. Parking was easy to find near the property and it was very quiet overnight. Perfect for a couple or singleton and highly recommended as a base for exploring a beautiful area of Scotland.

We really enjoyed The Burnside Apartment. It was modern, clean and very cosy with the log burner. It served as a good base for sightseeing in the area. We had absolutely everything we needed including farm fresh eggs supplied by the Hosts. There was a good supply of kitchen and bathroom essentials to see us through our stay. The Hosts were very attentive and responsive to any needs. I would highly recommend staying at this apartment.

Angela's place in Findhorn is simply beautiful and we had everything we needed from the amazing location, to the accommodation itself being exactly as advertised to the way the apartment is decorated and furnished. Angela made everything very easy for us; it is true, she does reply within 1 hour and we felt so welcome when we arrived. The fire was lit, there was prosecco chilling and the lamps we already on. The bay in Findhorn is stunning and the apartment is right on the sea front. It's a short walk to the sandy part of the bay to see the seals and there is a lovely pub, The Kimberley, no more than 100 metres up the road. Everything was wonderful. I would highly recommend Angela's place and we will definitely stay there again when we return to Findhorn. Thank you again.

Ike was a very responsive host. Also very accommodating with my early arrival.

The flat once we were inside was lovely. View over the harbour was pleasant. It was great to be able to relax in a comfortable environment and watch great TV. The wi-fi was excellent.

Emma is a wonderful host, taking the time to meet us and check we were all settled okay. Ahead of our visit Emma responded very quickly with some suggestions for local restaurants. The Quayside and the Harbour Inn were great suggestions - thank you. The location is just perfect and we enjoyed our coastal walks. We had a wonderful break Emma thank you so much, and we hope to have the opportunity to come back again :-)

Granny Hoosie cottage was a beautiful clean and well equipped cottage. very good size bedrooms and had an amazing sea view. Anne the host was very quick to respond and very helpful. the surrounding areas are picturesque with lots to do locally and there's also a stunning beach a small walk away. We will most certainly be back.

Super cozy cottage by the sea in traditional fishing village. The cottage is very well equipped, clean and nicely decorated. Nice restaurant nearby. Diane was very helpful and considerate. I would come back again!

Stayed here while studying minke whales (or lack there of until May-ish) and dolphins in the area. Kiddos will probably love the bunny coat hanger. I stayed in the top bedroom which is the one next to the bathroom, a nice place and the bed is soft :)

Lovely find. The Smoke House is like stepping into a warm hug. We all loved the quirkiness of it. The fabulous social spaces. Really enjoyed our stay. So generously stocked with essentials.

This is an amazing venue. You can feel the springs through one of the beds, but the way that this old Mission Hall has been rescued and loved trumps everything. The drive down to Crovie is steep, and single track in some places, and might not suit a nervous driver, but arrive in the daytime, unlike us (dark, pouring rain, a gale, and waves hitting the half mile path to get to the Hall whilst water fills the trolly you use to get your stuff there) and you will love it. We took our 4 black labs, who do not go upstairs or on sofas, and were so grateful that this was permitted. I thought I had booked 3 nights not 2, and checked out an hour late, but Gisela was very nice about it. Be sure to take food and drink for at least a half day, if not a full day or two, just in case the weather keeps you inside, as although there's another village less than a miles walk away, you cannot get there at high tide. All in all, a little jewel, but a March visit may not be for the faint-hearted.

Very lovely place for a family stay! Beautiful surroundings, if you love walking and hiking - even better! Probably not a super child friendly place if they are small as there’s loads of decorations and books around the house, but other than that - we were happy with the place.

A wonderful stay in this beautiful house. A great location, The sunsets even in Feb were beautiful. The house is fully equipped with everything we needed as a family of four. The kids loved the extra touches like yummy tablet (Scottish fudge) and to use the binoculars to help spot sealife and birds. We used the house as a base to visit family further down the coast but Buckie was lovely and we enjoy shopping, breakfast and lunch at pozzi and ice creams at the ice cream cabin and over in Portsoy. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

If we could give a place more than 5 stars we would. Everything exceeded expectations. It was immaculate, well thought out, and comfortable. Whinnyfold is an absolute treasure. It felt like a fairytale village too beautiful to be real. We are excited to return.

we had a great stay in this apartment. it was perfect for the harbour, the beach and all local amenities. the flat itself is lovely, with everything you need for a short stay. my 3 year old was delighted with the toy chest! the beds were super comfy. we had a great time!

This is a very comfortable apartment in the centre of Ballater. We felt at home straight away due to it's cosy and warm atmosphere. It's a perfect location to explore the area and has cafes, pubs and shops on the doorstep.

Lovely stay in Kincardine O’Neil! The place was clean, cozy, and perfectly located. Peaceful surroundings and a great host would definitely come back!

Fantastic flat, location is quiet but still very central, parking on street very easy. Everything you need is in the flat, shops nearby and Stonehaven is lovely. Jackie helped with a couple of queries during the stay and was very responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

We have stayed in David's place on a number of occasions and it's always very clean and comfortable. David is always contactable if required. Would definitely recommend

This was perhaps the most welcoming, functional, and well appointed Airbnb places we’ve stayed. It is a pleasure recommending it.

Gardenstown is a great place for a quiet break. Claire’s house was clean, comfortable and in a superb location. The village has all basic amenities. The short walk to the harbour was easy and is a great place to be if you want a quiet, peaceful break. Everyone is so friendly. Would highly recommend taking a relaxing break here.

Laura's apartment was lovely, the location was perfect and it was spotlessly clean. The apartment was very comfortable and we had a very restful break. I would happily recommend!
