Waterfront vacation rentals in Lewis and Harris

Beautiful views and very peaceful surroundings. Well located and driveable distance to supermarkets, restaurants, and main attractions on the island.

We had a lovely couple of days break at Ian’s. He greeted us and gave us all the information we would need for a quick check in. If you enjoy quirky, scenic, historic, picturesque accommodation and timeless scenery, this is the place for you. We have two dogs and they absolutely loved it! Great skies at night and the hot tub wasn’t too shabby either. The best quirk is the floating bridge which in certain weather conditions can be fun. It offers a unique and playful side to this wonderful look back to a time when things were “simpler”.

Great accommodation. Bedrooms were comfortable and spotless. Sitting room had 2 lovely comfy reclining sofas and were excellent to relax in after a long drive. Although didn’t have a kitchen as such it had everything we needed - kettle and fridge. The flat was very central to everything in Portree. Just wish we had time to stay longer. Would definitely recommend this accommodation and we managed to get a parking space right outside it.

What a lovely place! Surrounded by nature, it was the perfect spot to unwind and disconnect. The views from every window were stunning, and the peaceful setting made it easy to relax. The property itself was spotless, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Sarah was kind and responsive, making the whole experience smooth and welcoming. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and her warm hospitality really stood out. We’d love to return.

Elizabete’s place was one of the best places we have stayed on our many trips to the island! Elizabete was a great host and responded to our message promptly, giving us clear instructions on check out! It was clean, tidy, walkable distance to the town centre. The kitchen was well stocked and perfect for what we needed. It was well decorated, super cosy and had everything we were looking for. Gorgeous flat and we will definitely be back here!

We absolutely loved our stay at Sgurr Mhairi. It was clean and cosy, with breathtaking views. Susan and Neil were very nice and helpful. The location was also quite central and it was easy to go to different parts of Skye from the apartment by car. We highly recommend it!

Hector’s place was very comfortable, easy to access and you couldn’t beat the location. The flat is very spacious with beautiful lighting at all times of the day. Hector was great to communicate with and responsive to our inquiries. The Cafe below is an added bonus.

The perfect, most convenient place to stay on a visit to Stornoway. We’ll definitely be back!

We had a delightful six night stay at Njord House. It was exactly what we wanted (remote and quiet, but accommodation of a high standard), and when we weren’t hill walking we were able to take advantage of the lovely environment that the property provides. It is very clean, tastefully decorated, comfortable and well equipped, and has lovely views over the loch through large floor to ceiling windows. Adelaide was a very attentive host, and communication was responsive and comprehensive. Very highly recommended. We would love to return.

Had a lovely 2-night stay at this Airbnb. The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. The host was friendly and easy to communicate with, check-in was smooth and straightforward. The bed was very comfy. The location was perfect, peaceful but still close to the local amenities.

Beautifully presented house in a superb location. Extremely comfortable and very well-equipped. Josephine was a fabulous host, providing us with clear and easy check in instructions, super-quick response times, as well as recommendations locally including where best to see the Northern lights which were forecast (we were very fortunate!). Would absolutely recommend and wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful stay. Well situated to expore North and South UIst, with lovely cafe, fish shop, and wool shop, within easy access. Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Very thoughtfully, and tastefully, furnished and equipped. Lovely views of the loch, and very entertaining sheep wandering by. Robin and Michelle couldn't have been more helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our break in their beautiful cottage.

The Islands View was absolutely stunning. Not only did my husband and I got an amazing view of Skye, but the place was immaculate and conveniently located.

Felt like home. We stayed at Braes Retreat for four weeks and we loved every minute. The location is great for travelling around Skye as it’s pretty central but it still has that quiet isolation that most people come to Skye looking for. The house has everything you need, it’s very clean and comfy and Iain and Ingrid are great hosts to help you out with any issues. As all the other reviews say, the garden is spectacular, the views are beautiful and it’s generally a really lovely place to stay.

Our family had a fantastic stay at Margaret’s property. The location is idyllic, the property is comfortable, clean and stocked with everything you could possibly need for your stay. We highly recommend this gorgeous place and excellent host. Thank you for having us!

Beautiful house in a beautiful setting. House is much more spacious than the photos suggest. And great views out of the house all round. Warm throughout the house the full trip. Underfloor heating is a joy. Perfect place to get away and just chill. No hassles, traffic or people. And Kimberley was on hand for any help / advice. Would definitely go back.

We absolutely loved our time at Sandra's place. The kitchen is well stocked and the views are absolutely beautiful. My two kids loved Portree and exploring the Fairy Pools, but they also loved hanging out and throwing rocks right out front on the beach at low tide. The place was roomy and very clean, 10/10 recommend, we would definitely stay again.

Lita and Carol's place on Loch Bay is a hidden gem! We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Taigh Glas studio and would recommend to anyone looking to spend a few days on Isle of Skye. The location was great as we were easily able to explore a bulk of the island from the Waternish area. The studio itelself was sparkling clean, cozy, and had an amazing view of Loch Bay and surrounding landscapes! We really appreciated the nice touches Lita and Carol provided as well. Check-in was incredibly smooth, directions were clear, and we were even provided with a stocked fridge upon our arrival which was such a pleasant surprise after a long drive! Lita and Carol are so friendly and gave us great local recommendations. We would 100% stay here again and certainly recommend to others!

We can’t express enough how amazing Fiona’s Airbnb is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Her beautiful personal touches, fresh flowers, chocolates, delicious coffee and snacks with a lovely welcoming on the chalk board inside was so lovely. We will return it was THAT GOOD

Mark’s apartment had everything we needed and was the perfect home base to explore Lewis and Harris. Mark was a great host and very responsive with all communication. Loved the view of the harbour and Castle it was constantly changing.

I was drawn to Onie's place because it looked cosy and homely in the photos. Well, we weren't disappointed. It was very comfy and we enjoyed the board games. Stunning views in both directions from the windows.

A Truly Magical Stay on the Isle of Skye. This place is a perfect blend of the majestic and the deeply comforting—a haven where we felt both enchanted and completely at home. We highly recommend this gem! After long days of exploring the green, velvety hills of Isle of Skye, this Airbnb was the perfect home away from home to rest our travel-bones bones with a deep, luxurious bathtub that beckoned us to soak and the heated tile floors throughout. Diana even generously stocked the fridge with sourdough bread, eggs, and coffee. The highlight of our stay was the flowery gardens, babbling brooks, and exclusive access to a hidden beach bungalow. With two comfy beach chairs and a wood-burning furnace, it quickly became our favorite spot to enjoy breakfast and dinner in tranquility. Diana and Alan, were the epitome of hospitality, welcoming us with warmth and kindness, especially as an LGBTQIA+ couple, this meant the world to us. They are lovely. We are already dreaming of our return.

Rosie was very helpful and the house and location was super!!

This was an amazing stay in the middle of the perfect isle of Skye Scottish costal experience. We played golf across the street and we're blown away at the views. The apartment was lovely and cozy. Well stocked with everything we needed to cook and if anything was missing, we just had to ask and they had us covered. Amazing time and if I ever get to come back I would love to stay with them again. Such lovely welcoming people!
