*Stunning Seacliff Apt* overlooking Ventnor Beach
Stunning! We had a fab few days here and it’s even better than the photos. Walking in and seeing the view takes your breath away. As well as the stunning view the location is great, v central for town, beach, bus, walks, amazing swims and great eateries. When we were there the road next to accom is blocked by rockfall. It meant the road was lovely and quiet(!) but does make it a longer /hilly walk into town. Wasn’t a problem at all but worth knowing in advance. David was a great communicator, flexible and everything you need to know is in the handy welcome guide. Would love to stay again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Beachfront Apartment With Panoramic Sea Views
Great location which is why I booked it ! Very clean and some nice touches with welcome drink and chocolate. Toiletries supplied as well as dishwasher and washing machine tablets. Very pleased with this accommodation.

Beautiful seafront apartment, free parking permits
Great stay in a comfortable stylish apartment. The location was perfect as were travelling without a car and could easily walk everywhere. Lots of great pubs and restaurants nearby

Sea Break
It was a lovely tidy and clean apartment with a wonderful view. Robin was very forthcoming in communication.

Apartment by the beach
An absolute Gem if you want on the seafront right on the beach and pier this is your place. You can sit out on the balcony and watch the world go by on the beach. It’s perfect family apartment. The apartment was immaculate

East Wittering Beach, Sea Views, Beach Access
Lovely apartment with everything we needed. Good size bedrooms and the kitchen was fully stocked with utensils etc. Two minute walk through the shared garden to the stone beach so super easy to pop down. East Wittering itself had lovely cafes and bakeries plus an amazing cheese shop. Karen was helpful and very responsive. I'd have no hesitation in staying again.

Osborne retreat-calm & cosy studio annexe, Warsash
I messaged prior to booking with some questions and Clare and Alex responded extremely fast, they even enquired with a taxi company as to whether they would do the journey to and from a wedding for us! Communication after booking was fab with really clear instructions. Upon arriving the place was really well presented, had everything we need. As an extra special (and much appreciated!) touch there was milk, coffee, tea, sugar and some chocolates! The bed was super comfy and the place had alot of storage for our clothes. We would definitely stay again and would recommend it to everyone!

Deluxe 2 bedroom appartment
It was all we expected should have stayed a few more days

Canal view home in Chichester nr Goodwood
Thi communicated fantastically throughout the process. The home was very clean and within walking distance from Chichester station. The complimentary food and fresh flowers were a great touch.

Starfish Lodge Discounted ferry sailings available
We had the most wonderful stay at this lodge on the beautiful Isle of Wight. Tucked away in a peaceful caravan park just a stone’s throw from the sea, it offered the perfect mix of relaxation and seaside charm. The location couldn’t be better—waking up to the beautiful sea view and being able to stroll down to the beach in just minutes was absolute bliss. The on site pool and playground were the perfect end to a day exploring for our kids, all the staff here were friendly, helpful and couldn’t do enough to help. The accommodation itself was spotless, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. Everything we needed was there, from towels, a well-equipped kitchen to cozy beds and a lovely lounge area with the most stunning uninterrupted sea views . It felt more like a boutique coastal retreat than a lodge! Can’t recommend this place highly enough—whether you’re after a romantic escape, a quiet solo retreat, or a family break by the sea, this gem has it all. Thank you Rob :)

Solent View Hill Head dog friendly holiday let
Carey is always responsive and happy to help as much as she can, this is our second stay here and it doesn’t disappoint, clean and everything is thought of, will definitely stay there again 😊

Stunning views over Lymington river
This was the perfect get away. The house was lovely and had everything we needed . Parking was a short walk but no problem. We loved the views and the setting was gorgeous. I would not hesitate to recommend and I would certainly like to return. Thank you Corinne for a great holiday!

Peaceful Beach Retreat Secure Parking Dog Friendly
Roxanne is a fab host. Quick responses and very helpful. Lovely location right on the beach. Safe and secure site and everyone very friendly. Ample parking. Roxanne very flexible re check in / out where she can. Thank you Roxanne. Marcus.

Waterfront, character cottage
We couldn’t have asked for a better cottage in a breathtaking location. Lindy’s place was truly exceptional and far exceeded our expectations. Lindy was so friendly and helpful, it was a pleasure to meet her. Unfortunately, we were only able to stay for two days on this occasion, but what an amazing two days they were. Thank you for sharing your home with us, Lindy.

Whole seaside apt, stones throw to the new forest.
Our international friends who were visiting from Sweden were very happy here. Everything they needed was supplied and the place was nice and tidy and clean. Peaceful quiet area only a short walk from the beach. Everything was disability friendly too.

Seaside converted Boathouse in Warsash Village
The Boathouse is an elegant converted property in a discreet location, but so close to the riverfront at Warsash. The living space on the first floor is airy and comfortable with a good kitchen area. The bedrooms downstairs are comfortable and have great bathrooms. It's also very useful to have a parking space outside. If you bring another car, the long stay car park is only a step away and good value. Warsash is well positioned for leisurely walks and the cash only ferry across to Hamble-le-Rice, which is equally charming. So many boats here, there's always something to watch and good options for local food and drink on both sides of the river. We enjoyed a lovely weekend.

“When all else fails take a holiday”~Book Trinny’s
Really good, clean, well equipped apartment. Very well located for access to the town and beyond, although obviously that does mean there is a bit of traffic noise but not too intrusive. Had we been travelling in peak summertime, personally we would have sought outdoor space but the apartment was described accurately and suited our needs perfectly. Host is very responsive, helpful and genuinely polite and welcoming.

New Upscale Contemporary Apartment - River Views
Great view over the river, apartment was very clean, modern and secure with keypad entry. Easy walk to restaurants and Spar supermarket nearby. Secure car park, parking space numbers are on the ground with slightly weird numbering system. Excellent entry instructions from the host, just read them properly. It does make the apartment very secure. Definitely a great choice to stay in Southampton.

Historic Quay | 2 The Old Alarm with free parking
Julie was a fantastic host, she was very responsive and helpful. The flat was lovely, it was in a great central location and was well equipped, homely and pristine. There were thoughtful touches such as the welcome hamper and a useful parking permit. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or to return again.

Newly Renovated Self Contained Studio with Parking
The description of “harbour view / sea view” is a little misleading as the apartment isn’t high enough to offer that and instead looks over the bus/ train station and shopping centre . However , we’d worked that out from the pictures ! That said the location couldn’t be more central . It’s literally across the road to a fantastic shopping centre and the harbour . For the views of the yacht race we booked tickets for the spinnaker tower. The host was extremely helpful and responsive and I would recommend this accommodation and would love to stay there again.

Rockpools-steps from the beach. *Ferry Discounts
Rockpools is a lovely comfortable downstairs apartment in a great location. It’s a building with a characterful history and we’ve now stayed here three times, which tells you something about both the accommodation and the area. Hard to beat! Thank you Katie, I’m sure we’ll be back again!

'Beachside' Seafront apartment - garage & garden
Nice and clean, easy access from the back if you want to avoid the steps, roomy, modern and well catered.

Beachfront Portsmouth Apartment with Stunning View
Perfect for a short stay. Great view from the lounge and a perfect location. Really comfortable and everything exactly as described. Thank you!

Stunning Apartment With Panoramic Seaviews
Fantastic place! This is our second stay at the apartment and delighted with it. Great location and beautiful view from the apartment.
