With no fewer than seven beaches, it is small wonder that Santa Clara del Mar and its Atlantic waters are a popular spot for lovers of the sea and sand. But there is much more to this coastal Argentinian resort town than just the ocean. It is host to an annual craft beer festival, which has grown in popularity in the near 20 years since it was first held. Those who wish to explore the wider area will also find the busy city of Mar del Plata just 18 kilometres (11 miles) to the south - making Santa Clara del Mar a great base from which to explore this vibrant city. And, these top Airbnb vacation rentals offer a range of accommodation choices to help you do just that.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 14, 2024.
1. A beautiful, two-bedroom house overlooking the sea (from USD 71)
Lovers of the beach will be in heaven during a stay at this cottage. It sits right next to the sands and enjoys beautiful views of the surf from every window. What’s more, its beach-facing deck makes a fantastic spot to unwind and listen to the sounds of the waves, crashing ashore. A two-bedroom property, the cottage is ideal for small families, couples looking for a romantic beach retreat, or friends. And, it is well placed for other local amenities, too - there’s a supermarket just a couple of blocks away and a range of restaurants and shops nearby, as well.
There are also plenty of home comforts, including a full kitchen and TV and there is free, on-site parking, should you plan on using a car to get around.
2. New family cabin with Wi-Fi access, just 300 metres (984.3 feet) to the sea (from USD 96)
This smart, modern cabin sits just 300 metres (984.3 feet) from the waves and is a great base for anyone, from solo travellers and couples to small families. It boasts two bedrooms and a range of modern conveniences, to make you feel right at home. These include a full kitchen, a TV, and Wi-Fi access, for uploading those family beach snapshots to social media.
The fireplace and air conditioning will also keep guests comfortable, whatever the weather. And the patio and second-storey balcony will make a great place to unwind when not down at the beach.
3. House in Camet Norte (from USD 74)
As with the previous entry on the list, this house is located in Camet Norte, a neighbourhood immediately to the north of Santa Clara del Mar, which is also on the coast. The property’s position, in a tranquil spot close to the beach, has won plaudits from past guests, who praised the cleanliness and also gave it top marks for location and value.
Its two bedrooms - containing a double bed and two singles - make it an ideal family vacation spot and the full kitchen will come in handy for keeping everyone fed during their stay. There’s also a TV but no Wi-Fi access and those with cars will be pleased that there is a carport right outside the door.
4. Amazing bungalow with an ocean view (from USD 36)
Those craving an ocean view and quiet sands on which to relax may wish to opt for this seafront bungalow, which is located in a gated community with its own private beach. The one-bedroom property can comfortably accommodate up to four adults, thanks to two additional single beds in the main room, but would also be ideal for couples on a break.
It comes with a range of modern conveniences, including a full kitchen, cable TV and Wi-Fi access. There’s also an outdoor patio grill, should you wish to whip up a tempting treat outdoors. Guests also enjoy access to the local tennis court.
5. Family house in a tourist area (from USD 55)
This simple, two-bedroom home is another option for families looking for an affordable, no-frills holiday base, not too far from the sea. The property is set just a few blocks back from the sea and the heart of the town and is also close to a supermarket and bakery, for picking up groceries and light snacks. Those who wish to eat in, rather than visit one of the town’s restaurants, will also be pleased to note there is a full kitchen inside, as well as a barbecue grill on the patio.
There is also free, on-site parking, although the presence of public transport links nearby will also come in useful, if you don’t wish to use a car to get about.
6. Bright cabin in the centre of Santa Clara (from USD 93)
This cabin, which is located in a complex in central Santa Clara, is among the lowest priced entries on this list. It only has one bedroom, but, between it and the other main room, there is a double bed and two singles - meaning groups of up to four may wish to consider this entry. The addition of a cot may also appeal to families.
Guests have access to a full kitchen and cable TV and there is a hammock and grill in the shared green spaces. The complex also has a restaurant, which has free Wi-Fi inside, so you’ll be able to check your itinerary while tucking into a meal.
7. Two bedroom house just 200 metres (656.2 feet) from the ocean
Just 200 metres (656.2 feet) from the sea, this bargain house - which is among the lowest-priced entries on this list - would make a good home-away-from-home for families looking to enjoy a seaside break. It is set in a quiet area with a nice garden patio, but is also within easy reach of local shops and restaurants, should you prefer to tuck into family meals at a local eatery, rather than whip something up in the house’s full-kitchen.
It also comes with a number of home comforts, including cable TV and Wi-Fi access, although the latter can be a little spotty. The bargain price does not include bed linen, although this can be included for an additional fee, depending on what you plan to bring with you on your break.

And, it comes complete with a full kitchen for cooking up meals, should you wish to dine in rather than visit one of the town’s restaurants.
The property also has its own TV but no Wi-Fi access and comes with its own secure, gated vehicle entry, should you plan to use a car to visit the attractions of the wider area. Past guests praised the warm welcome and friendly host.
