2. The Lilypad - A slow-living getaway (from USD 125)
The phrase “slow living” is used by the hosts at this bucolic cottage and if you’re wondering what that means, just know that you can step right out into the backyard, have a swim and enjoy some lake fishing. If you have a boat, then this is the ideal place to stay - you’ll have room to park it and there’s a boat ramp that lets you take to the water. Nearby, you’ll also find a great winery, where you can sample the finest wines in the region. If you happen to catch some fish, you’ll be delighted to test out the grill that’s in the yard, too.

5. Waterfront studio at the Coinjock Marina
This studio apartment is located above a restaurant and could not be any better placed for holidaymakers who want to enjoy some time by the water.

All the appliances you could wish for are here and a kitchen is available, although, given that you’re going to be above a restaurant, maybe you’d be happier to eat there.

First thing’s first: You won’t find many Airbnb vacation rentals that offer you your own 40 foot (12 metre) private pier. That’s just one thing this splendid waterfront cottage will offer you and you can add to that with an on-site hot tub. It’s an ideal place to spend a honeymoon or just a romantic getaway. As it’s located in an unspoilt, pollution-free location, you’ve also got the delights of a clear night sky for a spot of stargazing.
There’s room enough for a whole family to stay here and more - enough sleeping spots for seven people - and there’s a kitchen, well-stocked enough for basic, tasty meals.
