We loved how close we were to the sea. It is close to shops and cafes especially the beach house cafe. Was easy to get taxi to take into Edinburgh city but we also used the bus which is only a 5min walk away. The apartment has everything needed for our four day break.
There is nothing not to like it was great.

Fabulous accommodation in a fantastic location, right on the beach. Clean house with fabulous facilities although the double bed in the 2nd bedroom is nearly on the floor! We managed ok, though 😀 The accommodation doesn't have a tv, it has a projector that uses the wall opposite as a screen. Once we'd worked out how to get the Sky TV box to connect to the projector, it was fine, although as there wasn't much on mainstream TV, for films, we cast/mirror-screened from our phone to it and it worked a treat. The owner was excellent, communicating with us as often as we required.
The sea views from all the windows are exquisite, and going to bed listening to the waves gently breaking was sublime.
The huge jacuzzi bath was a definite plus, as was the separate shower cubicle.
I would definitely recommend it.
The noise from the cafe below and the bar on the corner was a bit loud on certain nights, but we didn't mind.
We definitely plan on returning, but at a less-costly time of the year than August, as £1350 for 4 nights was extortionate (but still cheaper than most other accommodation in Edinburgh when the Fringe, the Tattoo, Sam Fender and Oasis are all on !).

Location lovely on beach front
Windows could do with opening wider as we were very hot during our stay
Quite a lot of noise from beach early

The apartment was fab, but the star of the show was the location. Absolutely beautiful. The apartment was incredibly well equipped and spotlessly clean.
Nothing!! Maybe bring earplugs as seafront can be busy. One bed was quite low if you have an elderly or person in your party with limited mobility.

The location is second to none. We never tired of the view. It was perfect for early morning and late night dog walks. Next to great eateries and a short walk to the main road and the bus stop. The apartment is airy and spacious and well equipped and clean. Communication with Kevin was easy and he responded to our messages promptly.
Nothing. It was perfect for our requirements.

Could be quite noisy in the morning and nighttime as the beach cafe underneath started setting out chairs etc around 6 am for their 7 am opening and the beach was a meeting place for the locals who could stay until the early hours.

Chosen for its wonderful beach front location, this is a very spacious, comfortable & well equipped flat. Husband is disabled & this perfectly accommodated his walking frame indoors, & easy to get his wheelchair in/out via the lift. The March weather was surprisingly good enough to enjoy daily walks along the sea front, and easy walk to the variety of shops on the high street.
Kevin responded to questions quickly & was very accommodating.
Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay.

Very nice location right by the beach. A nice restaurant downstairs and a bar across the way.
Lots of shops, bars and restaurants close by.
The property has all the facilities you need.
Jacuzzi wasn't fully cleaned out. When used, damp came out so I had to run it a little beforehand.
Sofas could do with an upgrade.

Obviously the Location is just hilarious - right at the beach and you can hear the waves coming in and going out, if you let the windows stay open. The Apartment is quite well equipped, you are able to choose your preferred temperature, the kitchen is well usable and also the bathroom lacks of almost nothing. The host obviously made his (2nd) home a home. Everything about Registration, entering the house etc. was perfect. The apartment was clean and well-maintained, WiFi did perfectly well.
Well, there are a few things that worked out somehow, but maybe weren‘t as perfect. As a first it is - from my point of view - quite important to mention (again), that there is a café u underneath, which opens quite early in the day. Whether it may be barking dogs or chatting people (guests and staff) that just come in loud - or simply look at your belly while rolling up those Rollos - it is a vivid place to stay at. People also tend to take the chance of the parking area, dark, behind the house, to make their businesses (whatsoever). Re the Apartment itself: we weren‘t too keen about the projector (too big and unclear) and obviously the Sonos Sound system, which regularly is not too keen on Apple-devices (we weren‘t able to connect, very propably our fault). The bathroom could offer some more opportunities to hang towels or clothes and the shower‘s light need a tiny refresh, but that is tiny bits. All in all it is a well-equipped and maintained apartment and we loved our stay.

Great location directly on the beach, the flat is spacious and well equipped, the beds are very comfortable and big enough, good parking and connection to public transport.
Mould on the bathroom ceiling and the ceiling plaster is falling off. the toilet seat is loose. the lamp in the shower did not work properly. The beamer is not usable in daylight (only when the room is completely darkened) and has very poor picture quality. The Wi-Fi was quite slow, so mobile data was sometimes much faster. Jacuzzi was defect.

Great location. Great beach view. Easy bus route to city centre. No problems with noise despite busy location. Nicely equipped kitchen. Plenty of towels.
Generally cleanliness was ok but could have been cleaner in more out of reach areas. Top of blinds very dusty. Crumbs along back of hob,. Shower tray fills quickly because lots of hairs in filter impedes drainage. Cutlery drawers could be cleaner too. Projector TV is probably great for film experience but a little impractical for casual TV watching whilst others in room (not least because the blinds need to be down so you lose the lovely view).

Great communication/ info & ease of picking up the keys to access the apartment & parking.
Apartment was clean, well equipped & spacious for our family of 5 (3A, 2C >13yo).
Well located for restaurants, supermarkets & transport. View of beach was fantastic!
We loved our stay & would definitely return. Thx Kevin

I liked the property being on the front of the beach. it was nice waking up listening to the sea rolling sliver the beach and watching the sun rise across the bay.
I liked everything about the property, didn’t not have anything that I did not like.

I loved walking into the lounge and seeing the sea straight ahead. It was clean and spacious with 4 adults. Have already recommended to friends and work colleagues.
We found some lovely places to eat Passey's, Tge Forresters Guild and The Beach House downstairs. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. We used the bus into Edinburgh, can purchase day return tickets and use your card.
We were lucky with the weather but definitely would stay again.
Not much we weren't happy with, a part from the parking Space being taken up.

Wonderful place. The beach view is amazing, two steps far away by beach, nice people arround, dog friendly and I can't wait to come back.
Few issues with the bathroom but will be fixed until next visit.
