Beach house vacation rentals in Southend-on-Sea

Super location for family with young children; house on a safe, private road and easy access to the beach with cycle/scooter paths. Close to other seaside locations (Whistable, Margate, Ramsgate) all worth visiting but also walking distance to Herne Bay.

Comfortable home in peaceful location but near to the beach, very pet friendly. Mersea island is a lovely location. Plenty of lovely pubs within 10min walking distance. Mel is a fantastic host, very friendly and goes out of her way to make your holiday special.

We enjoyed a wonderful night at Torias place. It was cosy, comfy, clean and in a great location. Perfect for families (we were 2 adults and 2 young children). Would highly recommend!

What an amazing stay from start to finish. We was wowed as soon as we walked in to how lovely the house was. So spacious and a lovely garden area which is a perfect sun trap when the sun is out. The open plan kitchen/living area made it a great space for us to socialise with our friends and the bedrooms were very well done. A great location- we walked to whitstable and was a pleasant walk and some lovely little places in tankerton high street too which is literally round the corner. We even had an early morning swim and just as the beach was right on the doorstep. We would love to book again and would highly recommend. Debra was also very helpful and checked in over text asking if everything was ok including room temperatures etc. A great host

From the moment I booked, everything was incredibly smooth and welcoming. The feeling of comfort hit as soon as we stepped into the house — we instantly knew we’d be coming back. Katrina made us feel completely at home, and honestly, words can’t do the experience justice — you just have to feel it for yourself. Every single one of us absolutely LOVED the house. We’re so grateful we had the chance to meet you both and truly hope to see you again soon. Thank you!

Pristinely clean bungalow right next to the seafront. Fully accessible for those who need it, with wider walkways and doorways for wheelchair users. Little garden out the back for the dog, and space for two cars on the front drive. A stone’s throw from the promenade and beach, this place is a must for well behaved dog owners. Fiona was a great host, friendly and responsive, and the bungalow has been set up so it’s super easy to get in and use the facilities.

An absolutely beautiful house in a gorgeous location. We had a lovely weekend with walks up and down the coast and a short drive to a great pub for Sunday lunch. Maggie was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely love to stay again.

Loved it! Fantastic location. Easy walk into town along the beach. Excellent views. Highly recommend!

Nikitia is a wonderful host, the lodge was better than describe. We felt right at home. A wonderful stay. We will be booking again ☺️

We had to go out again to buy things like a sponge and dishwasher detergent, but Aldi and Tesco were nearby, so it wasn’t a big problem. The caravan was in very good condition, especially considering the price. The manager was very kind and explained everything clearly when we had questions. Our whole family really liked it.

We had a nice stay, cosy ambience, well maintained..neat and clean in and out... Loved the vintage retro props ! Had difficulty spotting the caravan as details of checkin were received after check in time. Thankfully receptionist helped us.

Very comfortable, well equipped caravan. Travel cot easy to put in largest bedroom. Good amenities, bonus of small bath ideal for babies. Lovely decking area which catches the sun and clear easy instructions for access. Will be booking again!

Stayed here with 10 guys. There is ample room to sit together to have dinner, a large enough lounge for everyone to relax and all spaced that require less clothing is very private and not overlooked. The upper balcony is shared with a bedroom from 16A, but I assume that is not in use when the place is booked. Driveway is shared with adjacent property but you can still fit 4 cars. Hot tubs extremely well maintained. Furniture is in excellent condition. Furnishings are modern and tasteful. All kitchen appliances work with ample crockery and cutlery. Beds are very comfortable and allow flexible sleeping arrangements. Bathrooms were very clean.

Everything was perfect, Marilena has been very nice . She even said we can check out much more later . Very happy. Definitely will be back . Thank you

Very well-maintained and clean caravan. Pavlina is a nice and helpful host. I highly recommend!!!

Owner was lovely.very nice break well catered for and had everything you needed, couldn't have asked for much more really,thank you for a lovely stay ,felt like beeing at home .

Really convenient place to stay. No complaints really other than you can hear the neighbours dogs but it wasn’t a huge issue.

Beautiful home in a fabulous location close to all of the fabulous local shops and restaurants. Nicola was extremely helpful and accommodating. We highly recommend a stay here!

The house is gorgeous, tastefully decorated, spacious and very comfortable. There are lots of homely touches, plenty of towels, good WiFi and comfy beds. The kitchen is well equipped and there’s a lovely spacious garden/patio area. It’s in a great location in Whitstable overlooking the golf course and the sea in the distance. The road is quiet but within a short walk of the town and all it has to offer. Shaa was very helpful and responsive. I would love to stay here again and would thoroughly recommend it!

Due to issues with the original booking Laura very quickly contacted us and arranged for us to stay at Quince cottage this was a lovely clean place to stay with a large garden and easy access to all amenities so we were very happy with our stay.

This place is perfect for a family. A few minutes walk to the beach with the beach hit included. The climbing frame at the back of the garden and plenty of space for our 3 and 5 year old to run around. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was well equipped - a perfect weekend!!

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.

A lovely and very comfortable cottage, located near the High Street. It was very clean and well equipped, excellent. Parking can be tricky but we managed to find a space only a 5 minute walk from the property. Would definitely recommend and hope to return.

The whole family experienced the ‘wow!’ factor upon entering this charming property. The pictures are a true reflection but it goes to show that a real life. 3D version is often so much better. Jamie is incredibly helpful and responsive and treated us to very flexible arrival and check-in times. It’s a very central location, easily walkable to the beach sauna! Highly recommended.
