Beachfront vacation rentals in Southend-on-Sea

Rohan always responds within the 20 minute promised duration. I made contact at an unsociable hour and he responded immediately willing to help with my question. I’ve stayed here before hence me returning……..

Lovely stay at Lincoln's - gorgeous space and garden and perfect for our visit, host was very communicative and helpful, quick walk to town centre - would stay again for sure!

what a great quirky place, when you enter into the kitchen/breakfast area it looks compact but upstairs feels a lot bigger. would definitely return if coming back to Southend.

Beautiful house in a perfect location! We had a fabulous weekend and loved the property. Very tastefully decorated with everything we needed. Garden is a wonderful sun trap. Location couldn’t be more perfect. Just off the Main Street with all the shops, cafes etc and a couple of minutes from the beach. Ideal! Very responsive owners made everything super easy. Thank you.

We primarily chose Slip Cottage for its location and private parking, as we know parking in Whitstable can be difficult. The cottage was just minutes from the sea front and surrounded by nice Independent shops and galleries. There were so many places to eat that we only used the very well equipped kitchen to make cups of coffee! The location is down a private lane, not a through road so very quiet. The neighbours were very friendly. Although only a double, the main bed had a really good mattress and was very comfortable. All the furnishings were good quality, with twin beds in the second bedroom. With two full bathrooms there was a choice of shower or bath, plus a downstairs loo as well! Stephen was a great host offering lots of advice about favourite places to eat. He also kindly texted once the cottage was ready so that we could go in earlier than the published arrival time. All in all a great find which we would happily return to.

Tara is a great host and it was really nice to stay at her airbnb. Had great moments by relaxing the firepit after busy days out! Would highly recommend!

Beautiful cottage and helpful host. Highly recommend

Had a lovely stay, perfect location with the beach a minutes walk from the bungalow. Stacey caters for all your needs with added personal touches which are gorgeous. We took our two dogs and everything you ever need for a dog she had, from towels to dog bowls all there. Totally recommend for a relaxing getaway. Thank you Stacey.

a very responsive host. the property was immaculately clean and conveniently located for both Whitstable and Herne Bay.

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 …..

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!

2nd time of hiring for my birthday amazing place as always, thanks so much! highly recommend

We wanted a short getaway for a night away with kids we found nicks Airbnb and booked for the night and was extremely happy with the stay 5*

Sandra was very quick to respond and was very helpful. The caravan was perfect for what we needed and with an added bonus of a bottle of wine waiting for our arrival. It was a shame the pool was closed when the site advertised it as open, but this did not affect how great the caravan was.

The stay and the holiday home was great. Most important thing for us was cleanliness and the place met our expectations. Clean linen, towels and furnishing. It’s less than 5 minute walk away from the beach. Central heating and Samsung heater/cooler was great. TV in the living room and each guest room for when relaxing. Cordless vacuum in the cupboard. Some toiletries in the bathroom which was nice. Some bread, jam and butter for us when we arrived which was good. All in all, was a lovely stay. Will come again.

Enjoyed our short stay Kelly was lovely as I got dates muddled up she was very accommodating considering it was my mistake. Very clean , beautiful garden , very dog friendly, there’s nothing we didn’t like , Thank you so much

What an incredible location! We loved the sea views and being able to walk into Herne bay for an ice cream so easily. You had everything we needed and were so helpful if we ran into any problems. Don’t miss visiting this gem if you get the chance!

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.

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!

Great stay in Herne Bay, nice location, responsive host, felt like home We highly recommend

Debra was an amazing host- very informative & friendly! The accommodation was 5 stars- beautifully clean and well kept! 2 min walk to the beautiful beach- 15 mins walk to Whitstable. Perfect location & get away! Love to come back :)

Debi has the perfect place for a get away from the city. What made it even more perfect is it is a dog friendly place! It is spotless and tidy! We had a really great time and we hope to come back again! Her place is highly recommended for any one who is looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Lovely walk from Whitstable/Tankerton Beach!

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.
