Mid-Century Marina Seafront Flat
The apartment is super close to all amenities of central St Leonard’s - restaurants, bars, galleries, shops, cinema, and station all a few minutes’ stroll away. The entrance is tucked away at the back of Marine Court, with glorious sea views from the front living room/kitchen. Super comfy beds and gorgeous bedding made the two quiet bedrooms peaceful spaces to rest and relax in. Whole apartment is stylish and well-equipped and a great base for enjoying St Leonard’s and Hastings.

Beach Apartment
We have just returned home after a week at Beach apartment. The location was ideal, just across the road from the beach & an easy level walk into Hastins. The apartment was spotless & equipped with everything you could need for your stay. Huge windows overlooking the sea made the apartment very light & airy. The view was wonderful being so close to the sea. Communication with Sarah was excellent with any queries we had being answered promptly. There is no parking at the property but we could stop to unload the luggage & Sarah had suggested locations to park which were within 5 minutes walk. We didn't need to pay as plenty of free roadside parking within that 5 minutes walk. Plenty of good place's to eat close by. We found the bus service in the area to be very good & used it for days out to Rye & Eastbourne. Rye is a very pretty town, great for a day out. We had a great holiday & wouldn't hesitate to return to Sara's apartment if we return to Hastins in the future.

2 Bed Seafront Terrace Penthouse
Spectacular views of the sea, great location! We had a wonderful stay, and really appreciated the later check out. Very helpful hosts.

Heart of Hastings Old Town wonderful seaside treat
Gorgeous and generous accommodation in Old Hastings, central to great restaurants, independent shops, the beach, and old fishing quarter. The accommodation is beautifully decorated with interesting objects, and feels like home from home. The thoughtful details and numerous provisions made for a great and happy stay. Our thanks to the hosts for the ease or communication and plentiful suggestions and, of course, for the wonderful 'home'. We hope to be back!

Seafront Penthouse St Leonards direct sea views
Caroline has a beautiful penthouse apartment with awesome views of the sea. The apartment was perfect for our needs and Caroline was very accommodating.

Gorgeous seafront flat, Hastings
The flat was so big and had everything we (family of four) needed. The sea view from the front room was amazing and all facilities, towels and bedding were super comfortable. A perfect location with everything on our doorstep to keep kids and parents entertained! The Mediterranean restaurant downstairs was so good too. Anthony’s communications and check-in instructions were brilliant. Would definitely love to return for another stay.

Our stay was wonderful and we would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to go to Hastings. Danielle was a great host.We came with an eight and ten year old and there was lots for them to do. Thank you for a fabulous weekend.

Tilling View with river views
A lovely place to stay near the beautiful Rye town. There are some lovely walks around and lovely little shops nearby. Jacqui's place was clean, spacious and very comfortable.

Beach house in Winchelsea Beach, East Sussex
Thank you for the beautiful and quiet accommodation! The proximity to the sea is fantastic 😊

Funky house perched on the cliff with sea views.
On arrival we were a bit concerned that the driveway and entrance were a bit unkempt but don’t let those first impressions put you off. Once you get inside the house is great and just like the pictures. The open plan kitchen, dining, lounge and conservatory was great for our family weekend away. Even though we didn’t cook, the kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of chairs to sit outside. The view from the top of the garden is amazing. Rebecca was helpful in allowing us a slightly earlier check in and providing taxi numbers to get into Hastings.

70s Inspired, 3-Bed Home in Rye with river views
A rather unusual 70’s inspired home, with a great garden space.. Orange leather sofa looked great but actually wasn’t that comfortable.. otherwise would highly recommend

Great seafront house- Step free access
Cleo was great host, responsive and kind. Excellent location, we loved staying right on the beach. It was nice being in a quiet little town, but having several options nearby that bigger beach towns have available. Our only complaint was the road coming in was pretty rough, but Cleo can’t change that.

Beachfront views of Rye Bay, with EV charger.
The house is stunning, the layout is perfect and was spotless. Level 1 kitchen/lounge/outdoor balcony. Level 2 bedrooms. Level 3 attic room with chairs, binoculars and great views (each level has great views!) We were a group of 4 although if 8, the size and layout would have allowed us to have our own space. The bedrooms, 2 with en-suites, a large family bathroom and all with sea views. Watching sunrise over the ocean and the dawn morning bird chorus transported me to tropical holiday vibes. The house overlooks gardens, bluebells and iris were in bloom. Down the house steps and after about 50 metres you are on the sea wall/beach. Jo and Andrew have been great hosts, great communication prior to our trip and provided a welcome pack of really useful local information, thank you for the snacks and wine. Relaxing on the balcony, watching the ocean and world go by was the perfect way to start the trip. If I ever return to Hastings, first stop would be to try and rebook this AirBNB

Beachfront Bliss at Laughing Water
Great place and great location, close to Rye, the beach and to plenty of farm animals :)

Seasalt beach house
We had a wonderful week in this property. The view from the living room and the bedrooms is stunning. The facilities were excellent. We like to do a lot of our own cooking and the kitchen was brilliantly stocked with every item we needed. We also fell in love with the Bose CD player and with a great choice of CDs. With the view and the music, the TV was redundant. There was also a very well stocked cupboard full of games for all ages. We didn’t have the best weather for the week but it didn’t spoil the week. Watching the bad weather from inside a warm and comfortable home was a pleasure. Our favourite pub was the Royal Oak and Castle inn, right opposite the entrance to Pevensey Castle. Fabulous food, great service and a lovely garden if the weather is good. Worth a visit!

Beautiful 1 bedroom and 1 Mezz bed with sea view
I had a really wonderful 7 weeks and 4 days at Lisa and Lee's first floor apartment in St Leonards-on-Sea, overlooking Warrior Square Gardens, with a lovely sea view from the lounge and balcony. On arrival, Lisa and Lee warmly greeted me and showed me around. Everything was clean and tidy, beautifully decorated, with a very cozy and comfortable feel. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped. The location was perfect, 5 minutes walk to the sea front. A very memorable stay and I'm definately looking forward to returning soon. Thank you both so much for being excellent hosts. Peter

The Lookout Normans Bay . Cosy heated with views.
Peaceful haven of calm and tranquility, with the most friendly and helpful hosts, and what a view! We loved our few days at The Lookout.

Eagles Nest: Heart of Old Town with stunning views
Incredible location high up in the old town with spectacular views - perfect base for exploring Hastings

Panoramic sea views, balcony apartment St Leonards
We had a lovely stay at this lovely 2-bedroom apartment overlooking the sea. The photos were accurate and the view was just as stunning in person. As a family of four, we really appreciated the space—the apartment was very clean, comfortable, and had plenty of room for everyone to relax. The hosts were responsive and helpful, always quick to reply to any messages. Although the weather wasn’t great during our visit, it didn’t take away from the overall experience—if anything, it’s a good excuse to come back and enjoy it again in better weather!

101 St Leonards on Sea
Deborah was incredibly friendly and helpful with any questions I had about the area. Her apartment is beautiful with lovely sea views and was really welcoming and comforting. We had a wee accident with the sofa and Deborah was super understanding and helpful. I couldn’t recommend this flat more! The area is super lovely, lots of independent bars and restaurants and only a 25 min walk from Hastings

Fabulous sea views & relaxing, gorgeous interiors
We had a wonderful stay at Nicola’s flat. The space was beautifully presented and spacious - even more so in real life than the photos show - and was very clean. Nicola was also accommodating with our arrival time and offered great local recommendations. We hope to stay again!

Lovely 1 bedroom beachfront annexe
Carla and Pete were the perfect hosts. You knew they were on site should you need them but your space was perfectly private. The property was excellent. The kitchen was very well equipped and contained a lot of helpful store cupboard essentials. The bedroom had the most comfortable bed I have slept in and good storage for clothes etc. Nice bathroom and great shower, with a good array of complimentary toiletries. The lounge area was very cosy. Comfortable sofa and dining room table overlooking the patio with sea view. Wi-fi etc was very easy to set up and worked well. Outside the patio is great with plenty of seating and colourful planting. The sea is just at the bottom of the garden and easy access to the promenade a couple of minutes away. The welcome hamper was both excellent and very generous. Both Carla and her husband were super-friendly and helpful and Danny (their puppy) was adorable. I would 100% recommend this property and would love to return for another holiday.

Arty Seaview apartment
Richard was a wonderful host - so helpful and responsive and gave us lots of recommendations. We had a really fantastic stay. The flat was bigger than anticipated! Definitely would recommend if you’re looking to do the Seven Sisters hike! Thank you Richard :)
