2 Mins Walk from Edinburgh's Best Beach!

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!

Lovely Lothian Lodging
We've just returned from fantastic break in Portobello. I've holidayed in Edinburgh a number of times but this was the first time in Portobello and we would definitely return (and return to this great pad too!) The area was trendy, cool with lots of great places to eat and drink, topped off with an amazing, beautiful beach. The beach, whilst dog-friendly , was perfectly clean and well maintained. Patricks pad also provided a great place to venture a little further out and explore the wider edinburgh area, whilst also providing easy access to the city centre which we regularly visited. The house itself is great, with beautiful fittings, comfy beds and a brilliant stocked kitchen with every gadget you can think of. Finally, the owner himself was great to deal with, always prompt with replies for information and accommodating when it came to ad hoc requests. Thoroughly enjoyable stay! Would definitely return.

Awesome stay in Portobello!
Wonderful location. Great house. Lots of restaurants cafes pubs bakeries. Even a kilt shop on High Street for my daughter’s wedding. Easy to get Ubers downtown. We’re from the U.S. and have raveled a lot, and found this to be as fun a location as many other places we’ve stayed. Thanks

Weekend away
The property is a wonderful home with all the facilities you need. Everything is comfortable and warm. It is in a lovely location with a 5 minute walk to a lovely beach and to the shops and restaurants, which are great for nice food and friendly service. Easy access to Edinburgh city only 15 minutes away. The property manager communicates well with you and tells you all you need to know and manages your expectations.

Fantastic place for large groups!
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!

Awesome Stay and Trip
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.
