Portobello House | 2 Mins Walk from Edinburgh's Best Beach!

4 Bedroom House in Portobello, Edinburgh

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!

Summary: Lovely home close to grocery stores, local shops, the beach and the bus stop. It fit our needs perfectly. We stayed with 8 people total; young kids, teens and adults. Communication was great and check in and out was flexible and a breeze.

Summary: My family (seven of us between 5 and 70) stayed here and loved it. Plenty of room so we weren’t on top of each other. The living room is amazing with the large windows and very comfortable furniture. Would’ve loved a whisky with the fire going, but it was a little bit too warm for us. A 2-3 minute walk to the bus stop for Edinburgh, the beach and a Co-op grocery store as well as restaurants. I could see parking being a concern, but also realized that Patrick offered to give suggestions (and we found a place nearby anyway). Lovely home and highly recommended.

Summary: We were a group of 8 (3 couples and 2 singles all 64+). Patrick’s Portobello home was a welcome retreat at the end of each day! The home is clean, well maintained, and undoubtedly one of the most well-stocked VRBO homes we have ever booked! The coastal location is convenient for bus and train travel. Take Lothian Bus #26 in front of Portobello Town Hall for travel into Edinburgh (Princes St) and Waverley Train Station. Buses take either credit card or pounds. There are restaurants, grocery, pharmacy all within easy walking distance. A special shout out to Bayne Bakery, Butternut Squash, Esplanade, and Mira’s Restaurants! Communication with the host and caretaker were always quick and easy! You won’t be disappointed in renting this VRBO!

Summary: This house is just fantastic! Very comfortable and spacious, and good public transport. Walking distance to Leith. Parking is tricky but you don't really need a car as everything is on your doorstep. Would not hesitate to stay again.

Summary: Great place for our group of friends. We loved being able to gather in the dining room for breakfast and the sitting room after we came home for the evening. Patrick is a lovely host, even providing for your morning coffee or espresso and some milk to get you started. Very happy with our choice.

Summary: We had a wonderful week staying in the Portobello house and visiting the Fringe Festival on about 4 of the days. Another day we hiked up Arthur's Seat for an amazing 360° view of the area, and another day we took a Rabbie's guided tour to Fife and St. Andrew's. For the days in Edinburgh, it was an easy ride on the 26 or 19 bus from Portobello High Street, just a block from the house. The nearby Portobello beach is charming, with a couple of casual restaurants and a long paved promenade for walking, biking, or jogging. Patrick's house is lovely, and just as described. We enjoyed the back garden, right off the well-equipped kitchen, on a couple of the less chilly days, for cocktails and dinner. The living room is exquisite, with extraordinarily high ceilings and comfortable seating. Patrick was immediately responsive in the lead-up and during our stay, and the kind neighbor Roslyn serves as the helpful onsite contact, for check-in and for questions or helpful local recommendations. We loved staying in the quieter Portobello (versus a busier more central location) and would choose it again, along with Patrick's home, should we be lucky enough to return to Scotland.
