We loved staying at this property, the location close to the sea and only a few minutes from the Main Street where there were shops and cafes was great. The train station was not far off for access to Edinburgh. Susie was always responsive and helpful. The accomodation had every thing we needed.
We were delighted with this spacious, spotless, sunny and well-equipped apartment for our two week stay. The host was wonderful from check-in through close, offering assistance and information throughout. Highly recommend and look forward to a return.
We spent 2 nights while we were attending a wedding at Dunglass.
The apartment was clean, warm and well maintained.
The host was extremely helpful.
The apartment perfectly suited our needs.
Suzanne met us and provided an overview of utilities, appliances, shower She was very welcoming. The apartment was great and the city unique and quaint.
The one thing I would suggest is more light in the kitchen.
We used Susie's place as a base for attending a wedding in the local area and it was just what we needed. Well located, all the amenities that you could need (the iron was especially helpful...) and a lovely communal space to relax and look at the beautiful view. The beds were made up as two doubles for us and our friends which was really helpful too.
We loved our 4 night stay at the Harbor Master's Apartment. Susie was there to great us when we arrived and was so friendly and helpful, explaining everything for us and giving us great suggestions. The apartment was good size and beautifully decorated to the seaside theme with a great view of the harbor. It was within walking distance to the train station which we used daily for trips into Edinburgh. It was nice each afternoon to leave the hustle of the city and return to the Quiet, comfortable, easy-going and safe feel of the beautiful seaside village of Dunbar. There were several places to eat in town, just a short and enjoyable walk from the apartment. Wish we could have had even more time to stay in town and just explore and relax. Absolutely loved the apartment and town! Great experience!
The apartment was clean and tidy. The kitchen had everything we needed. Communication with the host was timely and clear directions given. The parking space was small but plenty of parking on the street. Lots of reminders to not be loud.

We enjoyed a week in this flat, which was perfect for us.
Dunbar has a great train connection to Edinburgh, so we did not use the car.
Susie is such a nice person! Thank you again!
This flat is fantastic! The view from the sitting room is just gorgeous as it looks out onto an inlet of the North Sea. We loved the reading nook, but it was difficult to concentrate on the written words with such a view. The layout is great for families, especially how the rooms are separated by a hallway and door from the sitting/dining room. All the amenities we needed were there, including a washing machine and microwave. We even had a choice as to hang our clean, wet clothes inside on a rack or outside on a clothesline. The neighbourhood is lovely and quiet with lots of birdsong. The location was easy to access, and we walked all over Dunbar, including wonderful footpaths. This place was our favourite, and we highly recommend it! Thank you to Susie and Seamus for providing such a haven on our holiday!
Visiting from the US to see Taylor Swift concert and spent a few lovely days in Dunbar. Really enjoyed the flat and fishing village feel. Beautiful little town.
We stayed for a few days in June 2024. It's a very nice apartment, fully furnished. It's a short walk from the town's main street which has a couple of medium-sized supermarkets and several different restaurants. It's also about a 10-15 minute walk from the Dunbar train station and many bus stops for transportation options. Susie is very responsive with communications and answered all of our questions during the check in process. Would recommend staying here.
This was a great getaway spot on the coast. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to do within the town and the property itself was as listed, very clean and well kept. We enjoyed our stay!
Beautiful apartment with nice view on the sea. Excellent stay for visiting the Scottish coastline and just in the close neighbourhood to Edinburgh. Friendly host and well kept appartement. Absolute recommended for your stay.
A lovely comfortable well-appointed flat with a great view. Susie is a great host - she was very helpful and even arranged an early check in and late check out for us.
We had the most marvelous time at the Old Harbor Master’s apartment! Everything was just perfect. The location was great. We walked & walked all over Dunbar. We loved waking up to the singing seagulls each morning.
Wonderful memories made and we look forward to a return visit in the future.

One of the best VRBO’s we’ve had the pleasure of staying at and we’ve stayed at many. Would definitely return and recommend to others. Has absolutely everything you need for a short or long term stay. Host is lovely and easy to get in touch with! The flat is bright and comfy. Area is perfect for walking to get food or walking off the food you just ate! Sea is right at your door. Many attractions in the area with scenic drives to all. Thank you for everything!
