Waterfront holiday rentals in East Sussex

This is my second stay at Agnieszka's flat and it was great the second time around. Great location and has everything we needed. I always being my two dogs and she is extremely accommodating with this. Super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Wonderful light and airy apartment with views of the pier and breath taking sunsets. Perfect position for a few days exploring Brighton - lots of lovely touches in the flat like lots of coffee pods, shampoo etc in the showers - all messages responded to very promptly. Would highly recommend.

We had a lovely time staying here. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the kitchen and bathroom were very clean. We spent most of our time sat in the chairs by the window looking at to sea. Good location as close to hastings old town and st leonards

This place was beautiful. It was extremely convenient , lots of shops and nearby restaurants. It was very noisy at times (especially those seagulls). Wendy was amazing and was great with quick communication. We will definitely be back here one day soon!

Really enjoyed our four nights’ stay in this beautiful apartment with fabulous views of the marina. It is a great base for exploring Brighton and being a twenty or so minutes’ walk from the centre, is very peaceful and private. Buses run regularly from the marina for when the weather is inclement. Emma and Andrew are very generous hosts, allowing our daughter and her partner to check in early after their flight from France. They left us a bottle of Prosecco as a welcome gift and were keen to know we had settled in. They were responsive and communicative at all times and made us feel very welcome. With two dedicated parking spaces and three en suite bathrooms , one of which is newly installed off the main bedroom, we would highly recommend this property.

Thank You, June - it was the second time we have stayed with you this year and it really feels like a "home from home". Quiet and private but close enough to the Marina or the City when we needed to be out and about. For a long weekend away with lots to do, it was the perfect "retreat" when we needed to recharge the batteries between events Everything was perfect ! Thanks again and see you soon Chris & Alison

Such a great apartment. Love all the plants and cool furniture so much, felt so homely and the bed was one of the comfiest I’ve ever slept in! Location is perfect too

Absolutely lovely place to stay and lovely hosts. Would 100% stay there again. Very clean and tidy. Comfortable and homely.

Our hostess Jo was very friendly and made us feel welcome. The view of the sea was incredible, and the house was clean and very charming with it’s different levels and details. There was also a great selection of movies and books, and the TV was perfect for relaxing. The only thing to note is that the stairs are quite steep. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had a fantastic stay over Christmas. On arrival we had Prosecco and chocolate which was a very thoughtful touch. Rebecca’s house is fun and quirky, it has a very well equipped kitchen, comfy beds with lovely clean linen and fluffy towels, there were even lots of fun board games. It is a beautiful location and we would love to go back in the summer.

Beautiful house which opens up right onto the beach. The outside area is great and the view from the house are amazing. Really nice house inside as well.

A very special place and ideal for our pre Xmas family get together

The beach house was everything I hoped for in a coastal getaway—relaxing, cozy, modern and full of charm! The place feels so welcoming, with light, airy decor that’s perfect for a beach vibe. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook a nice meal, and the living space was a great spot to unwind after a day at the beach. It was super clean and had little touches, like comfy throws and beachy accents, that made it feel special. The beach is on the doorstep - so close that I could hear the waves from the bedroom. There are also some great little cafes and shops nearby in Rye, which made exploring really easy. Julie was awesome—super friendly, quick to answer any questions I had and happy to help at any time. If you’re looking for a chill spot to unwind by the beach, this is it. I’m already planning my next trip back!

Had a great family time, amenities perfect, outside space amazing - sitting looking out across the beach and sea was fantastic. Recommended stay

This place was an absolute gem! The property is right by the sea—literally on your doorstep—which made for a truly special and peaceful stay. The home itself is beautifully furnished, striking the perfect balance between cosy and modern. It had a serene, calming vibe—exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway. The kitchen was impressively well-stocked with all the essentials and even had some ingredients available, which was a thoughtful touch you don’t often find in Airbnbs. The hosts, Donna and David, were incredibly understanding about our situation with two young kids and a late checkout due to work commitments. They were also very communicative and helpful throughout our stay, making everything even smoother. If you’re looking for a tranquil, well-equipped retreat by the sea, this is the perfect spot. Highly recommend!

We stayed here with a good of friends for a get together and it was the perfect location to meet and chat. It’s a lovely cosy home close to the sea. Andrea was super helpful. Thank you!

A really enjoyable short stay here and we wish we could have stayed lonver. The flat is lovely, really well maintained, had everything we needed and so convenient for all the amenities of the Marina, plus only a short bus ride from the centre of Brighton. Thank you Mark and Vicky!

Steven has a beautiful flat on the border between Hastings and St Leonard’s. Both are within walking distance, with lots to offer. Steven’s flat was very comfortable and spacious. It had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable.

Had a lovely stay here! Lovely location with lots to do within walking distance or easily accessible public transport, would definitely stay here again!

A lovely little apartment within walking distance of lot’s of a Brighton’s highlights! We felt right at home. Will is a pro-active and friendly host. The door of the building was painted while we were there and he made sure to let us know so we didn’t get any wet paint on our clothes. The free parking space is also great, although the steep entrance might scratch the bottom of your car like it did with us. But overall a great place to stay in Brighton!

Lovely apartment, wonderful sea views, very comfortable and peaceful. Would definitely return.

Stayed for 3 weeks for work, was a great stay and very comfortable. Great hosts, really kind and helpful. Will be back again if works brings us up to the area!

We're just back from an amazing weekend in Hastings to mark a big birthday. Lauren's apartment is stunning, absolutely faultless. The seaview cannot be beaten, bathrooms and kitchen are really well appointed. The bed is probably the most comfortable I've slept in. It is stylishly decorated yet still comfortable and welcoming. We really appreciated the treats upon arrival. Thank you Lauren. We'll absolutely be back.

We spent a night there and it was the best! The location is great and the place itself is something you’d just wanna stay in all the time. Has a lot of personal touches, especially the nook is the perfect spot to have good conversations with snacks while cuddled up in a blanket. Brilliant! The host is very friendly and proactive. We had an issue with the wifi which was resolved very efficiently. Tbh you’d want to stay an extra night in Brighton just cuz of the place.
