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 a lovely stay at the beach side Apartment in Herne Bay. The space was clean, well-equipped, and perfectly located being just opposite the beach and a short walk from all the local amenities. It had a cozy, relaxed atmosphere (also to mention the complimentary Pinot) — ideal for a seaside getaway. The hosts were welcoming and responsive, making check-in smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful stay with easy access to everything Herne Bay has to offer! We will definitely be returning in the near future! Thank you so much L&R x

A beautiful apartment. Clean and tidy with everything you need for a short break. Plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. Would definitely recommend.

This was such a lovely little gem to find. It was perfect for what we wanted. Scenery is beautiful with the fort in view. Would recommend the 2 hour walk along the coast too. Would definitely stay again.

Clean, nice location and Devi was great at communicating and ensuring we were happy with the stay!

This place is amazing in many aspects! Highly recommend for a family visiting the area and also for exploring London in a 40 minutes ride with the train. The flat is very spacious, modern, with many amenities, well equipped and with a lot of nice touches! Situated in literally 1 min walking distance from the train-station. A very modern residential area 5 min away from the historical center of Rochester. Would definitely choose this place again

Great stay and ideal location to all things in Erith.

Levi was very informative with check in. The apartment is very modern and comfortable. Would highly recommend. Free parking right outside too! Thanks Levi for great stay!

What an incredible location! We loved the sea views and being able to walk into Herne bay for an ice cream so easily. You had everything we needed and were so helpful if we ran into any problems. Don’t miss visiting this gem if you get the chance!

what a great quirky place, when you enter into the kitchen/breakfast area it looks compact but upstairs feels a lot bigger. would definitely return if coming back to Southend.

This was my first booking with Airbnb so I didnt really know what to expect but Mel has certainly set the standard. She is a friendly, helpful, honest, and incredibly responsive host. The house was exactly as described and the quiet location was perfect for us. We'll definitely stay again when we return to Mersea Island, which was beautiful too!

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

I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Minster-on-Sea. The home was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment we arrived. What truly stood out was how thoughtfully it was designed with accessibility in mind -everything was easily accessible for those with mobility issues, which made a big difference for our group. The people I was caring for really enjoyed their time there - it was smiles all round, which meant the world to me. It's refreshing to find a place that combines style, comfort, and practicality so well. I'm so glad we found this gem and would absolutely recommend it to others. I'll definitely be returning!

This was an absolutely perfect stay. The house is enormous yet homely, beautifully appointed and with the most breathtaking views. The pool and spa are an added bonus and the path down to the beach / estuary is gorgeous. All in all an absolutely fabulous place and we will be back. Thank you xxx

We had a very enjoyable time. Would recommend to friends.

Fantastic place to stay, comfortable, smart and very clean. Check in and out was straight forward and easy. Tanya was a great host and easy to communicate with, thank you for our stay!

We had a fantastic family stay at 3A Seaforth Road in Southend. The home was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed to feel comfortable and relaxed. It was great having a fully equipped kitchen and plenty of room for the kid to play and unwind. The location is ideal – close to the beach, parks, and local shops, but still peaceful and quiet at night. Parking was easy, and the host was welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. We’d definitely come back for another family break and highly recommend it to other families visiting the area!

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.

Absolutely stunning place with great local surroundings. Such a homely small place with everything you could need.

Micheal was really warm & welcoming host, with lots of humour & charm. He makes a mean cocktail in their cool little bar at the back of their lovely danish shop He gave us great recommendations for place to go and places to eat . The studio is above the shop and is very clean with everything you need , perfect for 2 people. When we return to Frinton we will definitely be trying to stay at the studio. Thank you’re hospitably

Would come again, lovely and secure parking.

Stunning spot. Above and beyond expectation. Nikki was a lovely host. We will definitely be back. We loved being outside of the more tourist area. Everything really relaxing and thoughtfully laid out. A plus is the amazing restaurant downstairs. They even delivered to us!

Had a great stay. Christie's place was brilliant - very clean, really welcoming and comfortable with relaxing sea views. Fully kitted out and lots of lovely touches. Had a homely feel and you could tell that a lot of care goes into it all. Christie was very helpful and responsive throughout my stay so no hesitation in strongly recommending this place. I'll be looking to return at my next holiday opportunity!

Used this place for a 3 month stay. The apartment is very neat and spacious. I would book it again. Great location, good views of the sea and close to local amenities and restaurants. Host was quick to respond and provided a guidebook which was a nice touch.
