Holiday rentals with beach access in River Thames

It was a lovely apartment, beautifully clean, and with all the amenities we needed. Low ceilings in one bedroom and doorways, but you can tell that from the photos. A useful thing to know is that the two bedrooms are railroad style; in order to reach the double bedroom you have to pass through the two twin rooms (they're separated by the dressing room, but the stairway is in one room and accessible only through that room). This might not be a problem for a family, but we were adult friends sharing a place, and if we'd known that one room would have no privacy, we'd have made different plans. Otherwise, everything about this stay was perfect, and I give it five stars for that. Thank you!

We had a very good stay here. Good facilities and lots to do.

The apartment is lovely - the beds are comfortable, it feels spacious and the kitchen is well equipped. It’s in a great location and has a beautiful view of the Estuary which really made the stay special. Trevor was very helpful, the welcome information gave us everything we needed to know and there was a kind touch of leaving biscuits and milk for us when we arrived, along with there being coffee and tea, etc available. A super Airbnb, would highly recommend and I’m sure we’ll be back. Many thanks Trevor!

My friend and I stayed with our two 17 year old daughters. plenty of space and a lovely apartment. I particularly enjoyed the balcony off the kitchen. very nice for outdoor coffee and breakfast !

Just book it right now if it’s available! Frances is the best host I’ve ever dealt with, friendly, responsive, provided excellent guidance and met all our needs with flexibility and care. The flat is in a lovely walkable neighborhood just minutes walk from the train station with a fantastic pub right outside your door. If you can tear yourself away from that view of the Thames, it’s a short train hop to everywhere you want to go, and the showers provide the hottest water at the end of the day and super comfy beds for rest. You can’t ask for more than this cozy flat to start and end your days from. Thank you Frances for sharing your property, we sure hope to be back and wouldn’t dream of staying anywhere else!

My family and I wonderful stay at this Airbnb. The apartment was spotless which made us feel comfortable and at home right away. It was thoughtfully stocked with all the amenities we needed, from kitchen essentials to towels and toiletries. The views from this flat are stunning! We enjoyed looking out at the sea. The flat is situated on a hill about a 15 min walk away from the old town and town centre which was perfect! Overall, it was a smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable experience. I really appreciated Bindu’s attention to detail and would happily stay here again. Highly recommended!

Stayed in this lovely loft for a few days on a trip to Southend. Felt very homely and had everything we could have needed. Great that the tv was all set up with the apps and easy to watch all the streaming services, and games and books available if we fancied a night in. Cupboard was stocked with essentials for cooking and the coffee and biscuits were a nice touch. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Here's a review based on your experience: We had a fantastic stay in this lovely flat near the O2! Check in was super simple. Everything we needed was provided, and the towels and bedding were great. The bed was super comfortable, making for a great night's sleep. The location was perfect, and we loved the nearby pub within walking distance. Highly recommend!

We had a great night at the wedge house. It’s a very cool quirky little house. Brilliant location for Adventure Island. Not the hosts fault but the street itself is quite run down and we had to listen to the boy racer cars all evening. But didn’t take away from the stay because us and the kids had a great time. Ria was very helpful as a host and was so kind to put up balloons and banners for us for my daughter’s birthday. I would definitely recommend for a trip to Southend.

From the moment we stepped inside River House Rye we knew that we had chosen he right place ! A real home from home, but with a unique design that we simply wouldn't dare to do ... such a great place to stay and so easy to explore Rye without moving the car off the very spacious drive ! Globe pub very close by, provided ideal location to eat & refresh as did other places that Helen recommended. Even a little drizzle couldn't spoil our visit .... simply fantastic! We will definitely return 🫶

Exceeded our expectations despite being beautifully presented. They bought us a bottle of champagne for our birthday and were extremely flexible and accommodating. Loved our stay thank you Marta and team.

An absolutely gorgeous place to stay. The location was wonderful, you felt like you were in the middle of nowhere, despite there being a pub next door! Lots of walks or cycles from the door, yet 2 minutes from a main road. The house was beautifully decorated and great bedrooms, lovely linen and comfy beds, with fantastic bathrooms. Everything you needed to cook for yourself and great recommendations of things to do and places to go. We had ponies outside our garden! Paul was a great host, responsive and helpful, really welcoming and very kind regarding checking in and out. We were there to celebrate a few things and felt it was absolutely the place for that. The pub next door under new owners was very friendly but did not disturb us at all. Thank you Paul, we had a great stay and would highly recommend it.

We loved our time in Sam’s cottage. It was close to the beach and Rye with great walking. The house had a lot of character, was generously sized and had a well equipped kitchen. We loved all the vintage touches. I would recommend anyone wanting to be near Rye to stay here.

Such a lovely lodge with views over the lake. Plenty of outdoor space to relax in the sunshine. Short walk to the Boathouse restaurant and Pizzaria. Will definitely return.

Tracy & Marks property was very spacious and just what we needed for a weekend get away with our friends and their families. We traveled with 3 children under 2 and luckily Tracy & Mark were very kind and flexible with our check in to work around nap/ feeding times which was a real help. The house itself has everything you need in the kitchen, which looks out onto a lovely garden, the dining room next door was very big and a great place for cooking group dinners, the lounge included a small pool table and a darts board, they also had a great selection of board games. The location is just a 4 minute drive from the beach front in Hastings, which had some great shops, & really lovely places to grab a bite to eat and drink. We had a fantastic stay, thank you both!

Amazing place right on the beach - fun driving through the sunbathers to the house which was the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort.

Great location to get to lots of various locations, we visited New Forest, Southampton, Portsmouth and walked down to the shingle beach, which was only a ten minute walk! Lovely and clean place, small but not tiny, just enough room for two adults and two small dogs. Everything was a thoughtful touch, from kitchen wear to comfort. Would definitely stay again if I was ever visiting the same area. Jackie was super helpful and very friendly, which is always a bonus. The surrounding area is residential and also partly industrial but noise level was low, which we appreciated. Plenty of space to park your car and close to the train station.

I had a beautiful stay here. Felt right at home from the first day. The place was clean and exactly as described.

We had a wonderful stay — the apartment is beautifully designed with great taste and attention to detail. Everything feels thoughtfully curated to ensure comfort and ease. The location is peaceful and full of charm, just a short walk to the sea and lovely local cafes. Louise was an exceptionally kind and responsive host — generous with her time and recommendations, and genuinely caring. We felt warmly welcomed from the very start. Thank you for creating such a delightful home away from home!

Exactly as described, easy to get in, clean, comfortable, and very responsive host. Thank you!

Great host and apartment. There is a train station on the other side of the street and is very close to lots of great places.

Chris & Hilary were wonderful hosts, they were very proactive and made sure we had every bit of detail about the property and its surroundings. The property is beautiful and clean and its located within short walking distance from the beach. We also loved the private park garden which was our pull factor to the property. Check-in and checkout process was very easy and straightforward. The Internet speed was great and the bed is very comfy. Me and my wife tried to think of any room for improvement to feedback to the hosts and we struggled to come up with anything. We definitely found our holiday home in Southend-on-Sea and we cant wait to stay there again. Thank you Chris & Hilary!

The place was clean, and exactly as described. The host was incredibly friendly and responsive. The location was perfect, close to everything. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Had a great stay at this apartment, was spotless and very nicely designed. The location is brilliant. A nice square full of restaurants, pubs and right on the Thames. Good communication throughout from James.
