Waterfront holiday rentals in South India

If I had to describe my stay at this apartment in one word, it would be ‘perfection’. I visited with my mom and an aunt and this apartment was perfect for the three of us. The location was amazing. The interiors were gorgeous. We loved hanging out at the end of each busy day in the cozy living room with the most beautiful views of the lotus tower. As for the facilities: the kitchen was well equipped, bathrooms were spacious, the air conditioning worked well and the beds were very comfy. A huge thanks to Roshan. He was always available as the go-to contact person for questions and was very accommodating of all our requests. Nicola was also an amazing host, for always following up with chat messages on Airbnb despite not being around personally. This apartment made our four day stay in Colombo wonderful. I would book this again in a heartbeat on my next trip to the country.

This is my third time staying at Rehan's place. It's great. I'd definitely recommend to others. If I go back to Colombo, I'll try to stay there again.

Loved the property..it's clean and beautiful..would definitely recommend it to family and friends..

We had a wonderful stay at Grant's place! Nigel, our co-host, was incredibly responsive and accommodating throughout our visit. The compact space is meticulously designed and thoughtfully stocked with everything you could possibly need. Highly recommended!

Nice place! The area is not the nicest but this is negombo in general. But it provides a variety of good restaurants and dilan even had some tips for us. Thanks!

We had the most wonderful stay, truly one of our best Airbnb experiences so far! The place had such a warm, homely vibe that made us feel at ease the moment we arrived. Everything was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully set up. What made the experience truly special was Tanuja! she was absolutely the best! Her hospitality was exceptional — so warm, caring, and attentive. It felt like staying with family. We’re so grateful for the kindness and effort she put into making our stay memorable. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort, peace, and genuine hospitality. Thanks Rads

It was a great place and great stay for us during our recent trip. Penthouse looked as in the listing and was clean. All rooms were very spacious and had thoughtful interiors. Location is very near to the beach and also near to very wide roads. Parking was available. All facilities inside the flat was very good. There was a big pool but we did not use it. Check-in & check-out were smooth. Kyle was very responsive and friendly. He had given some suggestions for food and shopping. Overall, me/ family enjoyed the stay and would definitely recommend this place.

I had a great stay at this cozy place! It was clean, well-furnished, and exactly as described in the listing. The host was friendly and responsive, making check-in and communication smooth. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay.

Had a pleasant stay at the White Villa. The property was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as shown in the pictures. The location was peaceful, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The host was responsive and helpful throughout. Would recommend for anyone looking for a quiet and comfortable stay in the area.

Good place to visit family and friends Ambiance is great

We had an amazing stay at Deja Blu for my wedding! The house is designed in a beautiful Greek-style architecture, which was really cool to see—and we got some incredible wedding photos! Overall, we had a great time with family. Sara was an amazing host, always friendly and open for a little chitchat. Last but not least, the beach view was surreal, making it one of the best stays I’ve ever had.

Had a wonderful stay! Beach and good restaurants at walkable distance. It was such a wonderful stay that I wanted to extend it for a couple more days but couldn't due to unavailability. Planning to come back here sooner! 🤎

Croco House is a relaxing retreat. You can easily walk to the main area (recommend renting a scooty via Mita) or just spend the day at the house with hammocks, ocean, and good vibes. Nicola was a very responsive host and he genuinely cares about his guests. Having Mita on the premises was a blessing; he is very reserved, helped organize local logistics, and made great breakfasts. The place would be perfect for a small group of friends.

We had a great stay at Azeers and Leann's place! They were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make our time as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The accommodation itself was spacious, beautifully furnished, and very well equipped — the kitchen had everything we needed, including a washing machine, which was a great bonus. The location was perfect: just a few meters from the beach, yet quiet and secluded, offering total relaxation. We would definitely love to come back!

Beautiful house, sunset was gorgeous from the front porch!

This was my second stay at Camper By the Bay, and it was just as wonderful as the first! This property is truly second to none—the staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, the food is absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere is perfect for relaxation. My family had such a great time, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a classy yet comfortable getaway. It's a fantastic spot for families, kids, and even small parties. The views from the balconies are so peaceful, making it the perfect place to unwind. I can’t wait for my next trip back to Camper By the Bay!

The best thing about this property is it's location. Its right on the beach facing road and all you have to do is walk a few steps and enter the beach. You get a complete view of ocean right from your gallery. As for home, it's nice cozy place which is well maintained and clean. All the amenities function perfectly. Host lipy was very prompt in making sure that our stay is comfortable. She even arranged a small household item when we requested for it. Cheers to her for that. Some improvement could be done in wifi as it as was getting disconnected regularly. Also one needs to know that the place is quite small in size and not as big as it appears in the pictures. Overall it was a comfortable and peaceful stay.

The place looked just like the photos. Well designed and kept with care. Mr Ram, the caretaker, is welcoming and polite.

it's a nice place with water front. it's advisable to have own vehicle to explore the place.

The place is big and sea facing . The beach is directly accessible via balcony. All rooms are clean and furnished.

Terry's place is great. It's spacious, with plenty of room to spread out. The views of the surrounding area are excellent, and are best enjoyed with a coffee on the balcony. The apartment is quiet and private. There's a large TV for relaxing after a busy day, and a well equipped kitchen with everything you need for preparing meals. The security guard is super friendly and helpful. It's easy to catch an auto, while there's also fruit and vegetables stalls and local restaurants within walking distance.

You should have come to a conclusion by looking at the photos that the views are amazing? yes the view from this property is spectacular, We have stayed in a 2 bhk in June 2025. i would recommend 5/5 this place for anyone who wants to visit. pros: 1. kayaking available at your door step, come out of the room, call the guy next minute, you get your ride 2. the view and the pool. 3. you feel like you visited some mountain village which got a private river beach 4. the drive to palolem beach is amazing from this property 5. super friendly hosts, we travelled with kid and we were in need of some utensisls, rahul arranged it in an hour as the kitchen did not have all the items neccessary cons: r Remote from(4km) main area, you need to plan in advance The Google maps may get confused to reach here, so don't follow blindly

A cosy aesthetic and quiet place. 5 mins walk to beach/ beach shacks and actually gets sea breeze during parts of the day. The open goa-style windows on all walls made for a great ventilation. A view of green fields from most windows is added bonus. The studio room itself is well equipped as described and is good to take care of needs of two people for short or long term stay. All appliances were fairly well maintained and functioned properly. Ritu as a host was proactive and helpful all through. A great deal if you are in Benaulim area Thanks Ritu for sharing your place with us

Pros: 1) Covered Car Parking. 2) Responsive and thoughtful host ( she kept some eatables for us during check-in) 3) AC even in the living room . 4) Necessary amenities 5) Lift 6) Far from the hustle of the crowd but still located within walking/driving reach of the happening places. Improvement points: 1) In-house RO facility ( 10L can was provided and host did fill up whenever needed) . 2) A door peep hole will help in knowing who is knocking the door before opening it to strangers. Suggestion to reach location: Please take the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Road (which takes 1 -2 mins more than Google suggested route) as the access road in between is very narrow and roadwork was going on. Overall, definitely a place to visit for a pleasant stay in Pondicherry. thanks for the nice memories. 😃
