Waterfront vacation rentals in Southend-on-Sea

Stella has a fantastic two bed apartment here with wonderful views out to the water. Everything is within walking distance whether that be shops, pubs or just a nice stroll along the coastline! I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking to stay in Kent and get the best of both worlds being so close to the station and city but also being on the doorstep of so much greenery and countryside. Stella was fantastic as was her assistant Natasha.

Hi Josie, thank you for a perfect stay! That view was out of this world, we really felt like it was our own place. Everything was within walking distance which allowed us to leave the car parked throughout. The wine in the fridge didn’t last long thank you, we would definitely come and stay again, in fact it was sad to leave. Thank you Josie for our first experience using Air B&B. Take care love Dave & Andy

We had a great stay! The place was spotless and very comfortable. The bathroom was especially impressive—modern, clean, and well-stocked. One of the best parts was the location—it’s just a short walk to the beach. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

if I could give them 6 stars I would. amazing hosts beautiful chalet. exactly as described. plus point the lovely pub next door does phenomenal food with huge portions. fantastic communication . definitely our favourite air b and b hands down.

A gem of an appartement in a great location despite the fact that the glorious past of the building is, well... in the past! The appartement is light and well appointed and has fascinating views of the industrial port and the town below.

It was great time I love the place

Perfect destination for a long weekend 😀 Super clean, beautifully decorated flat literally 5 mins walk to the sea. Whitstable around a 25 minute flat walk along the coast road with ice cream parlours en route. Owners very helpful and left a lovely selection of treats including wine and a selection of baked goods. Everything thought of including toiletries, charging cables and cushions on the outdoor furniture. High quality of fixtures and fittings throughout. Absolutely loved the enclosed private garden with flowers and chirping sparrows. Close to restaurants, take aways or a nice M&S for eating in. Would recommend to anyone.

Great flat. (Worth the climb!) Spotlessly clean. Very quiet. Close to shops, cafes and beach but very quiet nonetheless.

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.

Visited for a wedding nearby, great stay and Melanie was flexible with check in times.

Hosts were really accommodating when we had a last minute issue when checking out. Thank you for your understanding. Home was lovely and just as described

We had a lovely stay at Becky’s place. The house was very clean and comfortably spacious for our group of seven — no small feat when you’re trying to coordinate showers, tea rounds and who gets the comfy seat in the garden. The terrace and garden were a real highlight, with a little sea view that made morning coffees and evening drinks feel extra pleasant. The value for money was excellent, which we really appreciated. Now, the location… well, let’s just say Sheppey has a certain rugged charm. It’s not exactly buzzing with activity, but if you’re looking to unplug, stare at the sky and listen to seagulls with strong regional accents, you’re in the right place. The house itself is simple and functional. Becky was responsive and helpful throughout, and the listing was accurate. Thanks again for the stay!

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.

Celebrating my birthday with close family and this house ticked all the boxes. Plenty of space for a family of 4 couples, 3 dogs plus a baby and we loved the quirky decor with plenty of beautiful crockery and utensils to choose from. The bedrooms were really comfortable with fresh linen and towels and a good size. No one had a poky one! We requested the hot tub at the last minute and this was arranged for us and was a real bonus!. Location excellent with the beach close and also the pier for a walk. We had a fabulous relaxing stay and the weather was great. Felt like home from home. The only comment I would add is that there was a smallish patio area with a large table so a bit of a squeeze outside but not really a problem, we split the tables the second night which helped. Great hosts who gave lots of info and responded quickly. Many thanks.

This is a lovely, welcoming retreat in the heart of Canterbury. There is a peaceful and private oasis on the back terrace where one can have a drink or a meal and listen to the birds, river, and happy daytime activities happening in the nearby park. Good view of the cathedral from the upstairs front window, and wonderful view of the river from the upstairs back balcony and windows! The location is close to everything (very walkable) and easy to find. The bed was very comfortable. Hosts were kind and responsive. We would certainly stay there again if we return to Canterbury.

Excellent accomodation, responsive host and a brilliant stay 🙏🏻

properties are very nice split level property that reminds me of an old Edwardian type property. It’s been very nicely done out the hot tub is really good and just generally everything just worked. The location is really good and we’d love to come back.

This is a superb place to stay in London. Located in a quiet and pleasant locality, but also close to public transport (tube, bus and ferry), it is convenient and reasonably priced. The apartment is better than the pictures! Yes, clean, well maintained, with tastefully done interiors, thoughtfully stocked kitchen and a breathtaking view of Thames , it was truly a lucky find. I had a comfortable stay here with my parents and grandma. The host too, is quick to respond and makes sure you are comfortable. I would definitely recommend this place.

Is a lovely flat for getting around Medway. perfect location for shopping at dockside or popping to the nearby restaurants. stocked tea and coffee which we appreciated.

GREAT PLACE TO STAY. PRIVATE AND PEACEFUL. GOOD LOCATION WITH NEARBY SHOPS , LOCAL PUB WHICH WE ATE AT WITH GOOD FOOD. GREAT COASTAL WALKS RIGHT ON THE DOORSTEP. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE COASTAL SOUL FOR A COMFORTABLE AND HOMELY STAY.

Seun was an amazing host who was very polite and respectful. He had great communication and made sure we understood everything. The place was really lovely and spacious, great location too! Will definitely be visiting again in future👏🏾

Nikki’s place is immaculately furnished and prepared for guests. We travelled with two kids and one newborn. In Nikki’s place there was enough space for everyone to play but also enough noise isolation for the little one to sleep. Food from Jojo’s is delicious and having it delivered to our house was a true cherry on top of an incredible service! We’d love to come back one day.

Beautiful and clean apartment which is very close to the beach with sea views. Christie was always friendly and very helpful. Would definitely stay again and recommend!!

Ayo is an amazing host. Very responsive and understanding. The place is beautiful and will definitely be using again!
