Cuba is a diverse melting pot home to quaint Spanish-era cities, kilometers of white sandy beaches, cloud-draped mountains, lively culture, and lots of fascinating history. Havana, Holguin, Cienfuegos, Baracoa, Sancti Spíritus and Matanzas are some of the many Cuban destinations and resort towns with a spectacular shoreline.
Bathe in the balmy Caribbean sunshine, explore colourful coral reefs, and enjoy snorkelling, diving, and deep-sea fishing in Cuba. Nothing beats a beach house if you want to make the most of country’s incredible coastline. For options, scroll down for the best beach house rentals in Cuba.
Travel advisory
According to the BBC, Cuba has been facing intermittent major country-wide blackouts. The situation is exacerbated by Atlantic hurricanes. For a tranquil beach vacation, avoid traveling to Cuba during the hurricane season, which extends from June to November according to the US Embassy in Cuba.

1. Chalet La Casita, Matanzas (from USD 68)
Check into Chalet La Casita and revel in the stunning outdoor ambience of Matanzas. This chalet-style property is within walking distance of Caleton Beach in the Playa Larga area, so you can step out to soak in the sun at any time of the day. Alternatively, you can lie in the sun loungers on the rental’s private lawn and admire panoramic sea views for hours. An outdoor dining table has also been made available for you to relish al fresco meals. Seems to me like the perfect spot for a candlelight dinner.
Meals, local tours and transfers can be arranged by the host on request.
What guests are saying about their stay:
“The casa was situated only feet from the sand of the beautiful beach in Playa Larga. Our dinners by the beach, prepared by Claudia and her helpers, were fantastic! We had lobster dinners, complete with all the sides and she also prepared an appetizer with the fish we caught earlier in the day.” - by Dan (Fairfax, Virginia)

2. Cosy home with a pool, Matanzas (from USD 48)
Here’s a beach rental in Matanzas, where you can cool off in the private pool while relishing tasty drinks prepared in the poolside bar. I’d probably just do this all day if I were vacationing here! Alternatively, you can lie on the sun loungers and soak in the coastal tranquility to the fullest. If you get hungry, you can use the equipped indoor kitchen to cook for yourselves. Else, the host can arrange meals for you at an extra fee.
There is a beach a short walk away from the rental, so you can even consider heading out to enjoy some beachcombing.

3. Perla Escondida, Holguin (from USD 188)
The charming Perla Escondida is located in a quaint fishermen’s village near Holguin’s Playa Blanca. While staying at this rental, you can easily engage in numerous beach activities such as jet skiing, snorkelling and diving.
Upon return, you can spend your time gazing into the horizon curled into the swing at the patio. Alternatively, you can step into the comfortable bedrooms for a restful nap. Your pets are also welcome. Note that a minimum four-night reservation is mandatory at Perla Escondida. However, you can avail some attractive discounts if you book this place for seven nights or more. I’d suggest spending a week-long vacation here with your pooch and some close friends for an unforgettable time!

Costa Dorada is a second-floor unit located in Punta Gorda residential area in Cienfuegos. The rental offers stunning views of Jagua Bay that you can admire from the private balcony. Alternatively, you can walk down to the public beach nearby and build sandcastles, which seems to me like the perfect thing to do for families! The rental is provisioned with a full kitchen for you to prepare your own meals. Else, you can head to one of the eateries in the vicinity for a bite.
Note that quiet hours are to be observed at this rental post midnight.

5. La Casita, Guanabo (from USD 224)
La Casita is located in the Cuban village of Guanabo. You can rent out this beachfront Airbnb and enjoy outdoor activities such as sailing, kayaking and jet skiing, among others, at the Playas del Este beaches nearby. I’m sure the rental will be very suitable for a group of adventurous friends!
Your days here can begin admiring panoramic waterfront views from the balcony. You can step down to the beach and splash around in the water for a bit. Once you return, you can fire up the barbecue and carry out a fun cookout underneath the starlit sky.
