Our 10 Favorite Airbnbs with a Dock
A waterfront listing can mean a view of the water and nothing more. Airbnb has no dock filter in its menu, so we searched its hidden one and kept only whole homes where you can see the dock or jetty in the photos. These are the ten we would book first, from a stone-and-glass villa on Puget Sound to a timber cabin on the Danube.
Every home here is the whole place, not a room. Prices are the full Airbnb total for 7 nights, 6 March 2027 to 13 March 2027, for 2 guests, including fees and taxes, checked on 25 October 2026. They change daily, so open the listing for today's price.

Before you book
Before you book, ask the host whether the dock is yours alone or shared with neighbours, and whether you can tie up your own boat there. Some docks are pulled out or closed in the colder months, so check it will be in the water on your dates.
How we chose: we searched every continent for Airbnbs with a dock, kept only whole homes rated 4.85 or higher whose photos show the dock, and picked the ten we would most like to stay in, at a range of prices. Nobody paid to be on this list.
