We entrusted our beautiful seaside home, Sand Cottage in North Berwick, with Coast Properties, when we set off travelling around the world 16 months ago and I have been thrilled by the way director, Gillian, has looked after it for us. Nothing is too much trouble and she and her fantastic team take the utmost care and attention to make sure guests enjoy the highest possible standards, before, during and after their stay. I can't recommend this company enough of you are looking for holiday rentals in East Lothian and Edinburgh.

I have rented with Coast Properties for 2 holidays and a longer-term winter let and have been very impressed and satisfied with the service. Gillian's friendly, personal approach, and the clean, well-presented and well-equipped properties mean that you immediately feel at home. Any questions or concerns were dealt with promptly and considerately. She even seemed to arrange for the sun to shine! Many thanks.

When advertising Tigh Na Mara as a holiday let for the first time, I wanted to know my family home was in good hands. Gillian is very efficient and friendly and makes my guests holiday experience a pleasure. Nothing is too much trouble. Great service.
