This property is just magnificent. The location and view are beautiful. The house was very clean and comfortable. Location so quiet and private but a short drive to Portree. I highly recommend.

I cannot say enough about Shore Cottage— from the location, the view, and the cottage itself— everything was absolutely beautiful, comfortable, and made for a wonderful stay. We really do hope to come back again one day!

This was the perfect place to be when the weather is uncooperative! The views of the ocean, Portree harbor and Old Man of Storr are visible from the kitchen, living room, and upstairs bedroom and are such a delight! The kitchen was stocked with plenty of quality cookware and dishes. They even supplied detergent for the washer! The plentiful artwork was tasteful and well done. The owner thought of everything! He went above and beyond to provide a lovely home away from home!

Shore Cottage was all we had hoped it would be and more. A lovely home with plenty of room, nice amenities and spectacular views. This three nights was the highlight of our family trip to Scotland and we all really hated to leave.

Only 2 miles from Portree, the Seaside cottage was exactly as advertised on VRBO. It was spotlessly clean, and lovely in every way--furnishings, artwork, views over the water, every need met in the kitchen. We (3 sets of adult travelers) only wished we had a stay longer than 2 nights! The sunset on the second night was spectacular and had us all outside taking photo after photo over the water. Do not be alarmed as the roads become more and more narrow as you approach the property. We were wondering for a few minutes, where were we going to end up but there are signs, a good gravel driveway and plenty space for turnaround and luggage removal. It's a very scenic and quiet location:) Our only problem was not receiving the email that was supposed to give us entry info. Trying "the chat" function on VRBO gave us phone numbers and Kells responded with the info we needed after some anxious hours on the day of arrival. We still never got the email after that call, so we did not know what to do with our trash or bed linens. We made our best guess:) We would definitely rent this property again--it is perfect for multiple couples and made us want to "stay home" to eat at the table in front of that beautiful view:) Thank you for all the detailed items you provided:)

3 of us stayed here on a girls trip - it was the perfect spot to explore the Isle of Skye. We loved the house and had plenty of room. The views could not be beat. Everything was so clean and ready when we arrived. Ben was so helpful and quick to respond. 100% would stay again!

This is honestly one of the, if not THE, best vacation rental I've ever booked. Everything about it was perfect. Communication beforehand, cleanliness, location. You will not regret booking this. So so so incredible.

We were excited coming to this home just from seeing the pictures and location. When we first walked in and explored room to room, our already high expectations were exceeded! The outdoor patio, beautiful kitchen, the bedroom deck, the fire place, the bench by the water. We spent the first 10-15 mins walking around and admiring all the nice amenities and great decor. You could really feel like it was a home and not just a rental property thrown together. We spent our nights in the living room by the fireplace admiring the mountain and water views out the window. The owners even welcomed us with a bottle of wine which was a very nice touch. We’re already talking about coming back. Thank you!

We stayed for 5 nights at Shore Cottage and it's the perfect location to launch tours/activities when on Isle of Skye. The place has incredible views looking back to Portree, plenty of room and really has everything you need. Very comfortable and great place overall. The beauty of Scotland is something else.

This beautiful home with rich history provided a wonderful stay for our large family to stay and explore Skye as it’s an easy 2 miles from Portree. The home allows for separate, private spaces and centralized gathering places. The home boasts beautiful views from many of the rooms. The host is very responsive and very friendly. I highly recommend this home if you find yourself blessed to be able to visit Isle of Skye.

A property that even a wealthy person would brag about. It has a beautiful view of the bay, with water fowl for the kids to watch. The telescope was used by our teenage granddaughters each day. The house was very clean. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen and baths were well appointed and supplied. The parking area is large, but we were able to park near the walkway for easy unloading. And all contacts and entry information was accurate and worked smoothly. A very excellent experience.

This is hands down one of the best rentals we have stayed at. After being in closer confines with our teens, we arrived down the long and winding road (thanks to excellent directions) and were blown away. This house exceeded our expectations. Plenty of space to spread out and all the amenities you could need. The kitchen was lovely, the beds comfy and the views were gorgeous. This made our time on Skye.

We couldn’t have found a more perfect home for our family when we vacationed in Skye. Even months later, we have the fondest memories of the gorgeous bay, the sheep on very nearby hills, the waves lapping up on the beautiful decks, the well-appointed kitchen and more. We long to return to this very special house, a perfect jumping off point for exploring all of Skye.

Probably the most unique and beautiful house I have seen . The tide and the entire bay at your own disposal. Incredible. Thank you to the owner for taking such good care of the house and make it feel like home.

What an unbelievable wee place. We couldn't believe ourselves when we arrived. The house is spacious, beautiful, cosy, with amazing furnishes and the most unbelievable views (I mean, how often do you get to have breakfast with The Old Man of Storr in sight !!!). The checkout was super easy and the house was pristine, too! We spent some really blissful days here, we were almost grateful for the rainy weather that gave us an excuse to cosy up and spend time in the house. Simply a fantastic stay, we cannot wait to return one day- probably going to end up planning an entire trip just around staying at Shore Cottage again!!

A fabulous house on Loch Portree with great views of Portree across the Loch and the Old Man of Storr off in the distance. Located on a small rural road, this house is away from the bustle of downtown Portree, but a 5 minute drive in case you need to go into town for whatever reason. Relax to great sunsets and to the tides going in and out with the ability to take nice walks on the tidal flats at low tide. The house has spacious bedrooms, nice bathrooms, a well-appointed kitchen, and several outdoor seating areas to take in the scenery. If you’re lucky, the sheep in the meadow next door will come down to take a visit. A great stay! Thanks, John!!

This is a beautiful home on the water's edge overlooking Portree on the Isle of Skye. Well-equipped and thoughtfully furnished, Shore Cottage was a wonderful place to relax after exploring the island. We'll always have fond memories of our adventures on Skye.

We loved staying at this cottage. Even when we returned from adventuring out, the joy of eing on Skye continued because of how beautiful the views from this house were. The rooms and showers were comfortable as well as the rest of the home. We cooked all of our meals here, and while some new/more pans are suggested, we found a way to get things cooked. The kitchen has plenty of storage and a great cooking range. We loved it. 10 out of 10 would recommend and stay here again.

This location in Skye was central and made exploring the island accessible. Being on the water had beautiful views and we would watch the tides come in and out. Our children loved playing and hunting for crabs in low tides. We had unusual sunny weather and spent most meals outside in the deck. The house layout and space was good for our family of 6 and we often cooked our meals in the kitchen.
