The summer staycation period is upon us and what better way to celebrate the season than rounding up your favourite people and checking into an Airbnb beach house in the UK?
With the airport drama and flight cancellations causing havoc for many travellers escaping to Europe this summer, we thought we’d help you avoid the hassle of travelling abroad and bring you our pick of beachfront properties on Airbnb.
What’s more, Airbnb recently made searching for unique properties a breeze when it launched Airbnb Categories, over 50 different types of rentals to make your search for particular rentals easier. Some of these categories include accommodation in national parks, campsites and Arctic Airbnbs.
With this in mind, we did some digging in the beachfront category to show you some of the most outstanding seaside properties you can rent this year. Our selection of amazing beach house Airbnbs in the UK are ideal for group getaways – some are even dog-friendly Airbnbs.
Offering the perfect alternative to a coastal retreat at a hotel, these heavenly homes include holiday cottages with direct beach access and those with incredible views, so you’ll be right by the water from the moment you wake up to late at night when you’re toasting marshmallows around the fire pit.
Whether you’re looking to escape to East Sussex, Cornwall or County Down, you’ve come to the right place – check out the best Airbnb beach houses in the UK.
