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.

Flat D, Cowes, an apartment with amazing views.
A beautifully presented house, very spacious, spotlessly clean and top-end appliances and furniture. Really appreciated the little extras including a lovely bottle of wine. The location at the top of the High Street means a very short walk to shops, restaurants and the sea front - there are a lot of steps though up to the apartment if you have mobility issues. Highly recommend.

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.

Coastal View Apartment
Incredible location, especially if you are a sailor. Constant parade of vessels heading out to the Solent all visible from the patio. Only a few minutes walk from all the restaurants and shops. A delightful small town. Not inexpensive but a very nice apartment with easy parking and entry. Would definitely stay here again.

Waterfront Quay - 2 bedroom apartment in Gosport
Great place to stay but a lot of steps up to the apartment. Great view of the Spinnaker tower. Short ferry ride to Gunwharf quay. If you want to drive in to Portsmouth it will probably take at least 35 mins or longer.

Seaside Retreat: Luxury 1-bed, Free Parking
Perfect place to get away from a busy life. Alex was amazing with responding if questions were asked. It’s a gorgeous studio flat and feels like you’re at home. Within walking distance for a lot of food options and the beach is right next door.

The Quayside | 1BR Apartment in Old Portsmouth
Great location in the old town with easy walking access to Portsmouth and Southsea. Our host was great at communicating in advance and checking in by messages on arrival. I can confirm the parking space is accessible - but it takes patience getting into it - much easier when you leave though!

Mulberry View: Superb beachfront property sleeps 8
We have just had a wonderful long weekend at Mulberry View and our hearts are full! This is a beautiful property right on the beach. We spent a lot of time outside and to be able to swim in the sea each morning was just wonderful. The house is pristine, we ate in as we were a largish group and the kitchen is extremely well equipped and a great social space. Comfy beds, and a luxe feel to everything. Philip is a great host, very responsive. The teenage girls in the party popped round to the local arcade on a couple of evenings which they found great fun. A great stay.

Lovely Seafront home with stunning views
Lovely view from the living room. My only real grumble is parking is very tight next to all the blocks bins which means they weren’t emptied, and also making hard to load and unload the car when two cars parked up outside

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.

New Forest, Seaview
Wonderful house in a terrific, peaceful location. The house and gardens are idyllic, and we loved spending time in the hedged gardens in the evening sun after playing tennis. The house is within easy access of all the best landmarks of the New Forest and also bang on the coast. The interior of the house has great style and charm and is a great place to spend time in.

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 😊

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.

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.

Solent View - panoramic views of the sea & beach
Such an amazing house, location and hosts! We had a such a lovely weekend and couldn’t fault the house or communication. Would highly recommend and definitely hope to return another time! 😊

Edgewater - Bracklesham Bay
The apartment was absolutely amazing, very homely and the view and location to the beach is fantastic. It’s at the end of a private road so hardly any traffic, it was very quiet. The Beach restaurant is a 5 minute walk away and did lovely food, there’s a coffee shop and co-op the same distance away. East Wittering is a 10-15 walk and has a couple of restaurants and pubs with very friendly locals. I would highly recommend this apartment, we stayed for a week and didn’t want to leave !

Stunning beach front luxury apt w/balcony Sleeps 6
The place is nice, just few steps away from the sea and bay view. It is great to walk around and have fresh air specially in the morning. There is a nice park and arcade area nearby for kids to have fun. The only difficulties we had was finding a space to park the car along the road side specially if you're late going back to the house. Amy is very attentive in ensuring you get the parking permit on the road side beforehand. Great place to explore Portsmouth and Southsea area.

Modern Apartment with Free Off-Road Parking
A great host and wonderful home. Our second stay with Gary as its perfect for our needs when visiting family. Thank you as always for being a great host, responsive and reasonably priced.

Spacious 3-bed apartment close to all attractions
We enjoyed our stay at Roger's flat. It was quiet, clean and comfortable. The location was perfect for exploring the local area. It's within walking distance of the train station, Gunwharf Quay, Historic Dockyard and the beach area. Roger and Sue were extremely helpful and responsive. Thank you!

Marina Studio
Brilliant place to stay. It was spotless and so comfortable - they really thought about everything you could need. The host was brilliant about contacting me before checking in and offered an early check in too. Thank you!

Rockpools-steps from the beach. *Ferry Discounts
Katie’s place was an absolute gem. My mum n nephew were visiting us and it was a perfect place to have them spend quality time with us. The place was very clean and had easy access. Thank you Katie!

Beautiful 2 Bedroom, Seafront apartment
Absolutely loved our stay at this beachfront Airbnb! The view was stunning, the space was clean and cozy, and the location was perfect for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommend!

Romantic Wittering and The Bay Break
This a beautiful bright and very well designed pad - just 3 mins walk from a beach that goes on for miles. It's kept to a very high standards and one of the best Airbnb's I've stayed in for a long time. I would definitely recommend it and we will return
