Waterfront holiday 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.

We had another great stay Josie's place. Fantastic location, view and we really love opening the bedroom window and balcony door to get a lovely breeze all the way through the flat! Will stay again.

Thank you Jodie and Lee for a great stay. The instructions on how to check in were perfect and the location was great for us. The apartment with 2 bed and 2 bath is fantastic when travelling with others and the lounge and kitchen was ample space. The mezzanine level was a bonus! We would choose to stay again. Thank you!

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 stay and ideal location to all things in Erith.

Hardeep's place is in the perfect location for exploring Rochester high street and taking day trips. Although it's very close to the train station, we didn't hear the trains and slept peacefully. His flat is spacious and we loved that it had two bathrooms. The beds were comfortable and we always felt safe. Will stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay. There are lots of restaurants and cafes within walking distance and the beautiful and spacious park is just across the road which was really handy. The apartment is comfortable and uncluttered which suited us and the excellent check-in instructions made this aspect really easy and straightforward. The hosts are really responsive so we wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay here. Having an allocated parking space was the icing on the cake as we were in and out a lot visiting various local attractions. Our favourite things to do were the guided tour of the castle, Mersea Island and the Beth Chatto Gardens. If you want to splash out then we can really recommend booking the tasting menu at Kintsu - absolutely superb.

What a beautiful place to stay - right next to a nature reserve, with the oyster catchers and curlews calling at night and wildlife wandering into the garden. But also very close to pubs, coffee shop and the sea. Great if you like birds, wildlife and peace and quiet.

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.

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

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!

The place was perfect nice and clean at a perfect location Would definitely stay here again it’s the best place to be in old Leigh

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.

we had a lovely stay at Rosemary's Retreat. Very comfortable and quiet, away from main road. There was plenty of tea and coffee, including a coffee machine with Tassino pods. Rosemary was very welcoming, a first class host. we would definitely stay here again

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.

This is a lovely flat with everything you could want for a very comfortable stay. David and Lisa are quick to respond to any questions or requests and most accommodating. The flat is clean, charming and convenient to the beach, train station and shops.

Beautiful apartment in the perfect location. Claire was very responsive and check in and out details were very clear. Loved our stay.

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.

We had a wonderful time at Nic’s place. Nic was super nice, always response and very clear in her instructions. Pictures don’t do justice to how beautiful it is. It is so tastefully done, paying attention to the smallest details. Be it the condiments at the kitchen, the books collection or the list of board and card games. While we loved reading in the garden when it was sunny, our absolute favourite part was being able to watch as rain trickled down the window and skylight whilst comfortably sat in the sofa. We absolutely loved this place and would definitely come back again.

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!

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!!

Alizja was an excellent host, very responsive & provided clear instructions for the property & things to do in the area. The property was well located & comfortable for our needs. The walk to the Reculver Roman fort was wonderful! The Ship Inn, just around the corner is a lovely friendly pub. We really enjoyed our stay.
