Holiday rentals with beach access in Southend-on-Sea

great location with lovely views across the estuary and lots of restaurants nearby. Host was very flexible and communicated well. have recommended to to friends who want to visit the area

We had a lovely weekend stay, great location and a comfortable flat. Although we didn’t use the kitchen at all (so many lovely local restaurants to eat at; highly recommend A La Turka which is only a couple minutes walk) it looked well equipped. Bathroom supplies were great. The sea view is why we booked and we were not disappointed!

Sea View is a comfortable flat which is in a perfect location for visiting family in the Southend area or exploring this part of Essex. The flat has a lovely view across to the River Thames estuary. The flat has two bedrooms with comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen, a clean bathroom with hot shower and a comfortable lounge / dinning room. The flat is well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. There is parking for a small car with off road free parking for something bigger. The flat is easy to access with clear instructions for the key pad and with using the heating etc. The flat is in a good location for many tourist attractions in the area and within walking distance of local shops, pubs and the shore line. Trevor is a very helpful host who provided lots of information and advice prior to our visit. He was very understanding when we reported an minor accident to a furnishing and we resolved the issue amicably. Thanks Trevor and our apologies.

Wonderful place to stay in a perfect location. Lovely and clean with everything you could possibly need.

We stayed two nights in this beautiful Georgian garden flat and felt very at home. Antony is super friendly and sent a detailed welcome pack ahead of time including tips for things to see and food recommendations. The kitchen was well equipped (we like to cook for ourselves) and generously provided lots of bits and bobs including milk (soya as well as regular), bread and juice. The garden front and back is very pretty and lovely to sit out in. The wifi was powerful enough to watch shows on our phones, although it was nice to read/play games and not just sit in front of a screen. Absolutely recommend staying here if you want to explore Sheppey (particularly if you want to visit Elmley reserve but stay somewhere homely and cheaper!).

The apartment was beautiful, everything about it and spotlessly clean. The location was on the doorstep from all the shops and restaurants and 5 minutes stroll to the coastline and Old Leigh. Will definitely stay here again. Christine was an excellent host

Delightful stay. The flat was a perfect size and the breakfast/welcome basket made it an even easier trip with breakfast and more taken care of. Immaculate and lovingly decorated. Stephen and Debbie were great, thoughtful hosts. Would recommend without hesitation.

A well situated property. Easy access to town centre and local amenities. Norman was an excellent host with great communication. The property was well equipped and spacious and as described. Very easy to find and off street parking was great. Would definitely look to stay here again in the future.

Great place to stay out of the hustle & bustle of Whitstable but a gorgeous walk in along the beach / coast walk - flat and easy for all. Really enjoyed staying in this area - lovely houses and beach feels very private. Plus the house is 3 houses down from the sea and upstairs bedrooms have great seaview. Very sociable space - 4 couples stayed and we had so much room to cook, eat & sit and the garden is a bonus.

Ria’s place was fantastic.Great location minutes from the sea front.Spotless clean and everything you needed was there .Very good selection of toys which the baby loved.Everything was so easy to use from the shower to the hob and oven etc . Ria even made arrangements to have the house ready for us from 11am when we enquired if we could just drop our bags off early as we’d been travelling from 4 am. That to us was an amazing gesture 🤩

Had such a lovely time in this gorgeous house. The garden is huge and absolutely stunning with an amazing barbecue that was in pristine condition. The house is really well equipped and excellently located. The host was amazing and had provided lovely finishing touches around the house to make us feel so welcome. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Highly recommend.

Island View was a fab place to stay and Lorna was a 5* host! All was cleaned and tidy, accurately described with easy to find instructions Herne Bay was new to us, but walks to Whitstable, fabulous views, sea swimming at Margate, etc, etc made us really want to return Thanks for everything Lorna!!

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!

Excellent place to stay with just 1 min walk to the beach. Our kids loved the place and built lots of Sand castles. The place was super clean and had all the necessary amenities. Thank you Georgia for hosting us.

great little accomodation and good value 👍

We have been staying in Whitstable for many years and Emma’s house is the best so far! So private, safely tucked away behind secure gates. And yet so central - next to a great children’s play area and a short walk to the beach and High Street. The house was so clean that we questioned if we were the first guests to stay there. Emma was so proactive with her comms and left us a lovely welcome gift. If you get the chance to stay in this wonderful house, take it. You really won’t be disappointed!

Beth's place was amazing, we really enjoyed it there, so homely and comfortable. Everything was so clean, lots of extras provided too. The location was brilliant short walk to the sea, local shops, pubs and eating places, the harbour is about a 15 minute walk. Bus stop 2 minutes walk away and the train station is within easy reach too. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Beth 😊

A great airbnb. Oliver was helpful and attentive, a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.

I am a heavy travellers . I stayed so many places before. Hotels or flats. Aniesha’s flat is like a five star hotel suite! Very modern and stylish. The building is only 1.5years old. Very clean and the location is very convenient just in front of railway station and near supermarket and shopping center. Lots of restaurants nearby. It makes me feel like home. Thank you Aniesha! Aniesha is a very nice host. I already look forward to coming back again! Wish a merry Christmas and Happy new year.

We stayed here for a few months and it was truly a home for us. The bedroom was a standout, with an incredibly comfortable, cozy bed and large windows that let in beautiful natural light, especially over the second half of the day. The color scheme and decoration throughout the apartment were super beautiful and soothing, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The location was superb, just a few minutes' walk to the seaside, which made for many relaxing walks and stunning sunsets. The kitchen was cozy and well equipped, perfect for preparing meals during our extended stay. The apartment itself was well-maintained and comfortable, though we did notice what other guest had mentioned regarding the property. That said, it didn’t detract from our overall experience. The host was fantastic – communication was smooth, and they were always helpful and responsive. If you're looking for a cozy, well-located spot, we can highly recommend!

Stunning spot. Above and beyond expectation. Nikki was a lovely host. We will definitely be back. We loved being outside of the more tourist area. Everything really relaxing and thoughtfully laid out. A plus is the amazing restaurant downstairs. They even delivered to us!

I want to thank Samantha, she was very attentive throughout and also recommended wonderful places in the area. It's a beautiful and warm apartment, you feel right at home, it has a gorgeous view of the beach where you can enjoy fantastic sunsets, the place has everything you need to make your stay magical and unforgettable, very clean and comfortable place. I recommend it 100%... Without a doubt, I would return to this place. It was an incredible experience. Thank you so much, Samantha.

This is my 3rd or 4th stay here, always a pleasure being hosted by Daria. The place feels like home with many thoughtful touches and would highly recommend to all guests!

We enjoyed the visit to Whitstable. The location was ideal and ability to park the car was very useful. The apartment was very clean and matched the high standard we expected. Definitely recommended.
