Beachfront holiday rentals in Essex

Jason’s place was wonderful for our little family and super close to old town and new town. Sara’s was great for brunch Sunday morning and the Library playground and library were great for my little one on Saturday.

The place was lovely and clean, well presented and really well equipped. Mark was really responsive and helpful. The location was fabulous, perfect access to the beach, the pier and all the shops.

Perfect location, everything we needed. A welcome retreat from the sea breeze when needed.

This was my first booking with Airbnb so I didnt really know what to expect but Mel has certainly set the standard. She is a friendly, helpful, honest, and incredibly responsive host. The house was exactly as described and the quiet location was perfect for us. We'll definitely stay again when we return to Mersea Island, which was beautiful too!

Really great location for the beach: right next to a set of steps down and also near a water tap for teas/ foot cleaning. Was a little difficult to clean up at the end of the day, so recommend you clean your feet off before tramping sand in when using: we didn’t so took a while for us to sweep/mop.

We have just returned home from a week’s stay at Karen‘s house. It was a home from home with lots of space for our family of five and very clean. Karen was super helpful and responsive, she even went as far as leaving presents out for our children that they loved and food items for our stay. The house is centrally located for shopping, the seafront, park and many other local attractions. If you are thinking of staying here, we highly recommend and would book again. Thank you Karen!

We had an absolutely lovely day at the beach hut. It's a short walking distance from the station, the hut was simple to find and we couldn't believe how peaceful it was being a couple of rows up - even on a busy bank holiday weekend. The large decking area was perfect to lay out the table and chairs and enjoy our picnic with wonderful sea views. Would love to visit again and highly recommended.

Love Old Leigh. Needed somewhere while visiting family locally and where better. Somehow managed to never see the tide in. Parking was good considering how busy the area is.

Our second stay and once again a great place. Clean and great location. Excellent communication from host and value for money.

Great place to stay for family. Sam was very helpful and responsive. Thanks!

A very clean warm and modern caravan,a powerfull hot shower room with toilet and another separate toilet & sink. fantastic value for money place to stay. will be coming back for sure.

appsolutly lovely clean and well stocked with all you would need .great location

Wonderful Weekend Getaway! We had a fantastic weekend – a really memorable break for all of us. I travelled with my three daughters and two grandchildren, and the experience couldn’t have been better. The caravan felt like a home from home, providing all the comfort we needed for a stress-free stay. Its cosy, well-equipped interior made settling in so easy, and we instantly felt relaxed. The location was perfect – right next to the beach, which was a big hit with the kids, and the site itself had excellent amenities. Everything we needed was right there.. Highly recommend for families looking for a peaceful and fun-filled getaway! We would love to come back …..

The guys really enjoyed the stay. Radoslava was very good with communication, will definitely stay here in the future.

We had the most wonderful stay at Parkdean, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From the very beginning, the host's communication was absolutely top-notch – clear, friendly, and super efficient. The booking process was smooth and stress-free, which really set the tone for our whole trip. The caravan itself was spotlessly clean, beautifully presented, and incredibly comfortable. It had everything we needed and more – we genuinely couldn't believe the amazing value for money. For the price we paid, we got so much more than we expected! It's rare to find somewhere that offers both quality and affordability, but this place really nails it. The whole experience felt like a little slice of luxury without the hefty price tag. If you're looking for a fantastic getaway that doesn’t break the bank, this is it. We’re already planning our next visit!

Lovely Caravan, clean and tidy everything as described. Nice touches such as handwash, bathmat and toilet rolls that some caravan companies don't provide. Easy to get in with a key code rather than having to que at the reception on arrival, and bonus of own parking space next to the caravan. We would return again, thank you!

Fantastic location for a seaside stay for myself, my son and our dog. Couldn’t get closer to the beach which was perfect. Apartment had everything you could have asked for and more. A real home from home experience. Hosts were very responsive giving clear directions and instructions. Will definitely be back again

We loved everything about the Blue House and look forward to staying again in the future. It was perfect. Special thanks to Vicky and Eva for our welcome gift, very thoughtful of you.

What a fantastic stay at Perry’s place on Southend seafront! It was a little tricky to find the entrance but once we got inside, we felt right at home. Very cute and comfortable house, with the added bonus of being right next to the sea. We loved the decor too, quirky and homely at the same time. The kids loved the bedroom with the painted ceiling! The main strip (pier, arcades etc) is walking distance, but there’s also a fantastic park at the end of the road with a lovely little café. Great location, lovely house, we didn’t want to leave!

This little place was cute and cosy, situated at the end of Christine’s garden. I chose this place as I was attending Southend dog training which took around half an hour to get to from where I was staying. It had everything I needed. The place was clean, the bed was comfy, the shower was good. She had Sky Q set up so you could watch films and normal tv. This place was situated 5 minutes away from a marsh/field area where you could walk your dog which was handy. There was a premier shop which was just at the end of the road and there was a lovely breakfast place called Oliver’s which was 10 minutes away by car where you can sit outside with your dogs and £3 parking right outside. Christine’s place was very handy and she was a lovely host. I would highly recommend this place.

Great location and great accommodation. Had a fantastic time. Host was responsive to messages and provided everything we needed and more.

Very nice little Airbnb. Just off the beach and lake. Really lovely location. Was well equipped and lovely responsive host. Very affordable and good value, would come back!

We only stayed for one night for a friends get together but had a lovely time. Clear instructions on how to find the caravan and get inside, clean and comfortable. Laurie was really proactive with messages and easy to contact. The beds were really comfortable and the shower was great - powerful and hot. The parking space seemed smaller than the surrounding spaces and was a bit difficult to manoeuvre onto in without driving on the grass a little, so might benefit from being extended. The site was really well kept and felt safe and friendly. Clear instructions on working the heating, fire, TV etc (the TV is Netflix and Prime enabled but you need to sign in with your own account). We ordered food from the Titash which was absolutely delicious and delivered quickly. Beautiful walk along the beach followed by breakfast at The Seaview café, which is an old favourite of ours - again delicious. Would definitely recommend Laurie's caravan and would definitely stay again!

The beach hut was ideal for a one day visit by a party from our local church in North East London. It was great that some could sit inside the hut and be out of the wind and the direct sunshine. It was an ideal meeting hub for our group, and a good place to make hot drinks. I will definitely recommend it.
