About this house rental
Stunning Seafront Holiday Home on the Causeway Coast
Set directly on the shoreline along the iconic Causeway Coast Road, this newly renovated four-bedroom detached holiday home offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and uninterrupted sea views.
Surrounded by two acres of private grounds, the property is ideal for families and groups looking to relax, explore, and spend quality time together. There is ample space for outdoor games, exercising the dog, or simply enjoying the fresh coastal air. From the garden, gated access leads directly onto a pebble beach, creating a truly special seaside setting. Due to open access to the beach and sea, children and pets should be supervised at all times.
Overlooking the Irish Sea, the house enjoys breathtaking views across to Scotland, with Ailsa Craig visible on clear days. Wildlife sightings are frequent and memorable — seals, dolphins, porpoises, and a wide variety of birdlife are often spotted directly in front of the property, sometimes from the comfort of the lounge armchair. You’ll be hard pressed to pull yourself away from the picture window.
Perfectly positioned for exploring the Causeway Coast, the property sits on one of the most scenic driving routes in the world, with easy access to beaches, castles, walking trails, golf courses, and famous filming locations.

Ground Floor
The large entrance hall opens immediately onto sea views and features a seating area beside a striking fireplace with a double-aspect multi-fuel burner. Patio doors lead out onto a terrace with outdoor seating and a hot tub for eight people, complete with feature lighting and music connection. From here, gated steps lead down to the shingle and pebble beach, where rock pools can be explored at low tide.
To the left of the entrance hall is the main living room, a calm and comfortable space with a full-width picture window overlooking the sea. The room features a widescreen Smart TV with a full Sky Q package, including Sports, Movies and HD, alongside a feature fireplace housing a double-aspect multi-fuel burner — perfect for cosy evenings in.
Off the living room is a newly renovated games room, ideal for fun-filled evenings with friends and family. This space includes a pool table, dart board, arcade machine, bar seating area, and a Smart TV with a full Sky Q package, including Sports, Movies and HD, so you won’t miss a thing while still enjoying stunning sea views.
To the right of the entrance hall is the spacious, well-equipped kitchen, complete with underfloor heating and modern appliances, including an American fridge freezer with ice and filtered water supply, range cooker with gas hob and electric ovens, dishwasher, washing machine, and a breakfast bar with seating. The kitchen also benefits from a Bose portable Bluetooth speaker, making it a great social space for cooking and dining.
Leading through from the kitchen is a large dining room with ample space for eight guests. At the far end is a relaxed seating area that enjoys sun, garden, and sea views. A door leads out onto a second patio with seating and onward to the garden and beach beyond. Here you’ll find an Arctic hut with central BBQ, furnished with throws and reindeer hides — a fantastic space for gathering on cooler evenings or enjoying time together.
A separate utility room includes a washing machine, dryer, and a dedicated dog-shower area, ideal for rinsing sandy paws or muddy boots after beach walks and countryside adventures.

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
Amazing property with spectacular views over the Irish Sea to the Mull of Kintyre and Ailsa Craig. We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay at Portree. The house is quirky and full of character with excellent facilities including superfast broadband (c450mbps), excellent kitchen appliances, outdoor seating, and very comfortable beds. The hosts are really great and super helpful. For those that enjoy wildlife and nature, there was plenty of opportunities to watch the resident beach-dwellers of Oystercatcher, Whimbrel, Mallard, etc and enjoy frequent visits from Grey Seal, Sanderlings, Dunlin, Gannet, Eider and Great Northern Diver to name a few.A treat of a place to stay, we hope to book for next year!
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
The location and home are really impressive, and the layout is perfect for large families or a group of friends vacationing together. There were some snags, however, related possibly to a big storm that had just rolled through: loud beeping from an electric car charger that we needed to troubleshoot upon arrival, a lot of trash and even tires that had washed up on the beach, a continual stream of dead bugs in the house despite daily vacuuming (little shrimp-like bugs that unfortunately made their way into beds), and a full night without power or internet due to tripped fuses. Although the property's online home manual was initially impressive, it couldn't be accessed in a power outage, and was not complete enough to tell us where to find the second fuse box. Additionally, the only way to contact the property manager was through WhatsApp, an app none of us used previously, so we resorted to emailing through VRBO, which led to delays in response time. Finally, the online home manual listed the home features, but not necessarily how to use them. We were unable to determine whether there was a vent/flue for the BBQ hut, and when we lit it, the room filled with so much smoke it was unusable. Questions to the property manager about this were met with "you just light the wood." That was not helpful and left a bad taste despite an otherwise really superbly beautiful location and home. Paper instructions for the home's features and a phone number would've resolved all this.

Perfect property and location. It has everything we could ever want or need. Multiple stays now and will continue to stay each year. A wee piece of paradise
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2026
This is by far the best holiday home we have ever rented and we would be happy to come back time after time. The quality of furniture and kitchen and bathroom fittings are excellent, and we spent many a happy night in the games room playing pool!! A special shout out to Dan who valiantly attempted to resolve a problem with EV charger but unfortunately it couldn’t be fixed during our stay. As you can guess from what I’ve already said we would happily recommend Portree to anyone looking to stay at a fantastic house in a beautiful setting overlooking the Irish Sea.
