Waterfront vacation rentals in South India

If I had to describe my stay at this apartment in one word, it would be ‘perfection’. I visited with my mom and an aunt and this apartment was perfect for the three of us. The location was amazing. The interiors were gorgeous. We loved hanging out at the end of each busy day in the cozy living room with the most beautiful views of the lotus tower. As for the facilities: the kitchen was well equipped, bathrooms were spacious, the air conditioning worked well and the beds were very comfy. A huge thanks to Roshan. He was always available as the go-to contact person for questions and was very accommodating of all our requests. Nicola was also an amazing host, for always following up with chat messages on Airbnb despite not being around personally. This apartment made our four day stay in Colombo wonderful. I would book this again in a heartbeat on my next trip to the country.

This is my third time staying at Rehan's place. It's great. I'd definitely recommend to others. If I go back to Colombo, I'll try to stay there again.

Location was amazing. We can see the sea from balcony, terrace was not clean, but balcony was good. Small set up of kitchen which was good. 5 stars for the View from the room.

Loved the property..it's clean and beautiful..would definitely recommend it to family and friends..

We had a wonderful stay at Grant's place! Nigel, our co-host, was incredibly responsive and accommodating throughout our visit. The compact space is meticulously designed and thoughtfully stocked with everything you could possibly need. Highly recommended!

Dilan was always quick to reply to my msgs and very friendly also helpful . Clean , new beautiful apartment with balcony access over looking the beach . Well worth the price and will defo come back .

We had the most wonderful stay, truly one of our best Airbnb experiences so far! The place had such a warm, homely vibe that made us feel at ease the moment we arrived. Everything was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully set up. What made the experience truly special was Tanuja! she was absolutely the best! Her hospitality was exceptional — so warm, caring, and attentive. It felt like staying with family. We’re so grateful for the kindness and effort she put into making our stay memorable. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort, peace, and genuine hospitality. Thanks Rads

It was a great place and great stay for us during our recent trip. Penthouse looked as in the listing and was clean. All rooms were very spacious and had thoughtful interiors. Location is very near to the beach and also near to very wide roads. Parking was available. All facilities inside the flat was very good. There was a big pool but we did not use it. Check-in & check-out were smooth. Kyle was very responsive and friendly. He had given some suggestions for food and shopping. Overall, me/ family enjoyed the stay and would definitely recommend this place.

Had a pleasant stay at the White Villa. The property was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as shown in the pictures. The location was peaceful, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The host was responsive and helpful throughout. Would recommend for anyone looking for a quiet and comfortable stay in the area.

Good place to visit family and friends Ambiance is great

We had an amazing stay at Deja Blu for my wedding! The house is designed in a beautiful Greek-style architecture, which was really cool to see—and we got some incredible wedding photos! Overall, we had a great time with family. Sara was an amazing host, always friendly and open for a little chitchat. Last but not least, the beach view was surreal, making it one of the best stays I’ve ever had.

Had a wonderful stay! Beach and good restaurants at walkable distance. It was such a wonderful stay that I wanted to extend it for a couple more days but couldn't due to unavailability. Planning to come back here sooner! 🤎

We had a great stay at Azeers and Leann's place! They were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make our time as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The accommodation itself was spacious, beautifully furnished, and very well equipped — the kitchen had everything we needed, including a washing machine, which was a great bonus. The location was perfect: just a few meters from the beach, yet quiet and secluded, offering total relaxation. We would definitely love to come back!

Beautiful house, sunset was gorgeous from the front porch!

It was an amazing stay here.. Wish we could have planned out our stay here for some more days. The Bay Talpona is a fixed place to stay now whenever we come here the next time. Dharman himself is a very courteous , warm and a lovely person.. From organising the whole stay, making us comfortable and also giving us a lovely decoration for our Anniversary , Dharman did it all for us, taking back the most cherishable memories from the Bay Talpona.. ❤️❤️

This was my second stay at Camper By the Bay, and it was just as wonderful as the first! This property is truly second to none—the staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, the food is absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere is perfect for relaxation. My family had such a great time, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a classy yet comfortable getaway. It's a fantastic spot for families, kids, and even small parties. The views from the balconies are so peaceful, making it the perfect place to unwind. I can’t wait for my next trip back to Camper By the Bay!

The best thing about this property is it's location. Its right on the beach facing road and all you have to do is walk a few steps and enter the beach. You get a complete view of ocean right from your gallery. As for home, it's nice cozy place which is well maintained and clean. All the amenities function perfectly. Host lipy was very prompt in making sure that our stay is comfortable. She even arranged a small household item when we requested for it. Cheers to her for that. Some improvement could be done in wifi as it as was getting disconnected regularly. Also one needs to know that the place is quite small in size and not as big as it appears in the pictures. Overall it was a comfortable and peaceful stay.

This was our first time visiting Sri Lanka and Nilaveli was the first stop. The rooms are immaculate, very homely and everything is clean and well maintained. The facilities at the complex are plenty. Loved the view from the balcony facing right towards the Sea ! Ghazzali was extremely cooperative and helpful throughout the stay. Highly recommend this spot and will definitely be back !

The place was very neat and clean including all kitchen utensils, looks exactly same as photos, near to condolim beach and sinquerim beach. Good host and care taker both

it's a nice place with water front. it's advisable to have own vehicle to explore the place.

Heshan is a nice person and a great host,he is very much co operative and reaponsibe host . First I stayed with my friends and then with my wife and daughter, in between two booking there was a gap of one night which I wanted to stay in a different place but This gentleman allowed me to stay one night free of charge . I have been staying through Airbnb since long time and I never met such a nice person . The. Location he explained is exactly the same as description, the location is very much amazing! In my next visit to colombo I must knock him to allow me again .

A cosy aesthetic and quiet place. 5 mins walk to beach/ beach shacks and actually gets sea breeze during parts of the day. The open goa-style windows on all walls made for a great ventilation. A view of green fields from most windows is added bonus. The studio room itself is well equipped as described and is good to take care of needs of two people for short or long term stay. All appliances were fairly well maintained and functioned properly. Ritu as a host was proactive and helpful all through. A great deal if you are in Benaulim area Thanks Ritu for sharing your place with us

Pros: 1) Covered Car Parking. 2) Responsive and thoughtful host ( she kept some eatables for us during check-in) 3) AC even in the living room . 4) Necessary amenities 5) Lift 6) Far from the hustle of the crowd but still located within walking/driving reach of the happening places. Improvement points: 1) In-house RO facility ( 10L can was provided and host did fill up whenever needed) . 2) A door peep hole will help in knowing who is knocking the door before opening it to strangers. Suggestion to reach location: Please take the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Road (which takes 1 -2 mins more than Google suggested route) as the access road in between is very narrow and roadwork was going on. Overall, definitely a place to visit for a pleasant stay in Pondicherry. thanks for the nice memories. 😃

We had a fantastic stay at Nandini and Mridhul’s beautiful apartment! It’s in one of the loveliest parts of Cochin, with stunning lake views from the bedrooms and balcony — especially magical during the monsoon rains. The apartment is spacious, very tastefully decorated, and feels like a true home away from home. Even on rainy days, our kids were perfectly entertained with all the activities and amenities in the complex, which made our stay so relaxing. A special mention to Nancy, the wonderful caretaker — her homemade South Indian breakfasts were a highlight of our mornings! It’s also very convenient to get Ubers from the apartment to explore the city, though honestly, we loved just staying in and soaking up the peaceful views. If you’re visiting Cochin with family and want a relaxing, comfortable place to stay — we highly recommend this apartment. Would definitely love to return!
