As summer heats up, you’re going to need a relaxing and stylish beach vacation. But have you thought about where you’ll stay? Come away with us to the best decorated, most comfortable top-tier beach cottage rentals that will make every moment of your trip memorable.

We found some cottages that scream “seaside stay” and others that offer a more nuanced ocean-inspired style. Plus, you’ll come home with more design ideas for your own cottage.

Here are 11 seaside vacation cottage rentals that will have you scrambling for your credit card and calendar the moment you see them!

Cape Cod, Massachusetts

We love this nautical cottage in Cape Cod! The bright white interior with navy accents (and big steering wheel wall décor!) gives the home a ship-at-sea vibe we can’t wait to relax in.

Carmel By The Sea, California

The Carmel area is already charming, but who knew there are so many cute cottages by the sea there too! This cottage’s dreamy exterior continues inside with big windows and green accents. The studio can sleep 2 people for a romantic getaway.

Lewes, Delaware

This spacious cottage in Delaware is perfect for vacationing with family. With a hot tub and a two-minute walk to the beach, this cottage will be perfect for your next stay!

Seacrest, Florida

Lots of sky blue and light seafoam green hues are at play in this Seacrest beach cottage. We love all of the plants this rental incorporated into their décor. The window shutters are a classic beach cottage design that will allow the sun to light up your vacation.

Dillon Beach, California

Talk about the quintessential beach cottage! This Dillon Beach find is cozy and elegant, equipped with sand toys and even a store where you can rent surf equipment. It feels both cabin-like and modern, offering a perfect coastal cottage stay.

Beaufort, South Carolina

If you love historic homes, you’ll want to vacation at this beautiful Beaufort bungalow. A classic porch leads you inside where an open concept living room with vaulted ceilings and two cozy bedrooms await. Can you see yourself having a drink on that porch yet?!

Dahlonega, Georgia

If you’re not already packing your bags after seeing this beach cottage’s adorable exterior, take a look at the inside. We are swooning over the soft blue that echoes throughout the house’s plush couches, chairs and bedding. The pink flowers and pillows perfectly complement that sky color and the cream furniture, creating a design heaven!

Bremerton, Seattle

This rustic beach cottage mixes and matches worn wood and tufted sitting pieces, making us fall in love with this destination. The fun color combinations, charming exterior and built-in window benches have us falling in love with this seaside cottage.

New Haven, Connecticut

You can find us hanging in the bright and cheery kitchen at this New Haven cottage. The soft seafoam color stands out amid the home’s other immaculate neutral rooms. Plus, aren’t you dying to know this history behind the industrial pipes?

Pura Vida, Texas

Talk about beach décor: this Crystal Beach cottage is the ultimate beach vacation rental, perfect for young families! Aquatic art, from the garage door dolphin mural to the indoor octopus wall art, along with the lively yellow, green and blue coastal color scheme, make the home feel coastal and bright. What’s more, in addition to easy beach access, you can also find a basket full of games, corn hole, and a canopy you can borrow for use at the beach. The ample patio and fenced yard gives kids plenty of room to roam and play.

Nye Beach, Oregon

We can practically smell the saltwater after gazing at the layers of blue found throughout our last seaside cottage rental. The kitchen’s farmhouse sink and exquisite backsplash is one of our favorite areas, but we’ll give the amazing worn wood table a nod of approval as well. There are so many cozy nooks and bedrooms to swoon over, too!
