2 Mins Walk from Edinburgh's Best Beach!

4 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, travel crib, free WiFi

About this house rental

Nestled in Edinburgh, this charming house for $479 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. This is a wonderful, spacious, traditional seaside townhouse, built at a time when wealthy Edinburgh families also bought a house by the sea in order to cool off on those hot summer days. Laid out over 3 floors, the wide staircases are a feature, particularly the winding staircase between the first and second floors (note; they're a bit too wide for standard stair gates, so may not be ideal for young children). The Living Room is positioned on the first floor, as was the norm for the time, with 3 large windows that let the light stream in. From the top floor there are views over the roof tops to Arthur's Seat from the front and across the Firth of Forth to Fife at the rear. The house offers 4 bedrooms, Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, Family Bathroom with Jacuzzi bath, a WC on each floor, full gas central heating, high pressure hot water system, Primary Bedroom with ensuite, WiFi, Smart TV, travel cot, high chair, iron and ironing board, hair dryers, linen and towels. Hopefully everything you need! Licence applied for ref: 101002084013

I stayed here with a party of 7 people. It was perfect! More than enough space for this amount of people. Taxis into the centre of Edinburgh took less than 15 minutes. The area of portobello itself is fabulous for cafes/brunch and the beach. The host and his neighbour were great! Communication was amazing and the host was so attentive to any needs and questions we had. Would stay here again 100% if I were to head back to Edinburgh. Thank you!

Never rented a property before. I researched, settled on Vrbo, and decided on this rental property. I am so glad I did. We had the absolute best time and experience. The entire process from booking, communications, instructions for checking in, etc, very easy. The rental was very clean, private, fully equipped, there's several stores near by, and everything is within walking distance. Safe neighborhoods, great places to eat at, shop at, folks were friendly and engaging, and we felt secured and very welcomed. The beach and ocean, literally a block or two away. It was absolutely perfect!! Dress warm, the wind was chilly for even us experienced Alaskans. We LOVED our entire trip, staying at this rental property for sure, and would absolutely rent here again. I can't imagine staying anywhere else.

Beautiful home that accommodated 7 adults nicely. Loved hearing the seagulls in the morning! Easy access to the beach & High St where buses got us to Edinburgh & other points easily. Our host Patrick responded quickly to our questions. We truly enjoyed our stay & hopefully will have an opportunity to return!

My American cousins and I had a wonderful 3 nights in Edinburgh, finishing off our road trip round Scotland. The house suited our needs perfectly and Rosalyn was lovely and very helpful. The only slightly down side was a rowdy party by some neighbours which spilled out onto the street quite late, but that was quite beyond anyone's control. Leaving milk in the fridge for us was a thoughtful touch.

We had a great stay, the location of the property is absolutely brilliant, with both the gorgeous beach and the lovely high street of independent shops of Portobello right on the doorstep. We did, however, feel that the quality of the accommodation and the level of the furniture and fixtures did not live up to the premium price tag. Overall I would still recommend this as a good place to stay, and a few small changes and improvements (which I will provide separately to the host) will potentially make it great!

The property is incredibly spacious, clean, and truly feels like a home away from home. Being just 2 minutes away from the beach was a huge plus for my family visiting from the States. We loved being able to walk to the beach and nearby pubs. Initially, parking was a bit of a hassle, but we quickly adapted and even started having fun with it - I actually miss the parking game! There are parking options in the neighboring streets and near the beach. Despite having three cars, we always managed to find parking, although sometimes it required a 5-10 minute walk, which was good exercise. Patrick was extremely helpful and accommodating, allowing us to check in earlier, which was greatly appreciated. We also enjoyed pleasant conversations with Roslyn, our friendly next-door neighbor. The Sonos sound system was fantastic, allowing us to play music while cooking and having a great time. A big thank you to Patrick for making our stay absolutely awesome!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this historic beach home in Portobello. We had wonderful weather during our stay. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. We had plenty of space for 5 adults and one teenager. We were in walking distance to the beach, public bus, grocery, restaurants and shopping.

Great place but parking can be an issue since it's all street parking. We had a large van and it was difficult to find parking that could accommodate it. Also, this house is several stories with many steps, so wouldn't be ideal for those with mobility issues. Overall very pleased. There is a coop grocery story right around the corner, quite a few restaurants nearby, and the beach is a short walk away.
