Waterfront vacation rentals in East Sussex

A beautiful property with breathtaking views of the sea! We loved being so close to the centre of Brighton (and only a short walk into Hove) and yet felt away from the hustle and bustle by being on the top floor and away from the noisiest parts of town. The flat was pristine, spacious and comfortable. Would love to book again next time we are in Brighton.

What a lovely place to stay in hastings! The view was absolutely incredible and it was very clean, nice space and tidy place. In between st. Leonard’s and Hastings so great location. Communication very good too 👍🏼

Great space. Being so close to the sea front was amazing. Lovely host.

This was the perfect base for being in Brighton to run the marathon. Check-In was easy, the apartment was spotlessly clean, bright and airy and the balcony was a beautiful little sun trap. The location was also perfect and was easy to walk to the cafes and restaurants in Kemptown, and further on in to Brighton. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here, you won't regret it!

Lovely little flat with large bay window bathing the room in sunlight. Quiet bedroom, water hot, felt a real home from home! Would recommend, and Doug was super friendly, helpful and responsive too.

Great apartment for a last minute get away with our toddler. Clean, tidy and fantastic location.

We enjoyed a short stay in flat 2, which was cosy but had everything we needed. It was spotlessly clean, warm and quiet. The location is ideal, with the beach just across the road, and the town centre and other amenities not far away. John made us feel really welcome on arrival.

Caroline let us stay last minute when we had an emergency situation and she was so incredibly lovely! Great communication and so kind. She went above and beyond to help us find another place to stay, too. Her place is well located and just as described, right on the ocean! Nice new bathroom and kitchen.

Our hostess Jo was very friendly and made us feel welcome. The view of the sea was incredible, and the house was clean and very charming with it’s different levels and details. There was also a great selection of movies and books, and the TV was perfect for relaxing. The only thing to note is that the stairs are quite steep. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

A stunning property that's more than we had hoped for. Ideal location that's a walk away from the train and bus routes and Pevensey castle. Very clean and very easy to book with all the necessary information provided up front. Thank you!

We LOVE Helen’s house - it is in a fabulous location, spotlessly clean, exactly as pictured and so beautiful and comfortable. I would recommend Helen and her beautiful house to everyone. Thanks Helen for the bottle of champagne and chocolate you left for New Years Eve, such a lovely thoughtful gesture.

We had a wonderful group stay at The Old Townhouse. Very clean and characterful and great amenities too, Paul had thought of everything we might need. The location is amazing, right in the heart of kemptown and close to the beach.

A beautiful home in a wonderful location. We would definitely come back.

Had a great family time, amenities perfect, outside space amazing - sitting looking out across the beach and sea was fantastic. Recommended stay

This place was an absolute gem! The property is right by the sea—literally on your doorstep—which made for a truly special and peaceful stay. The home itself is beautifully furnished, striking the perfect balance between cosy and modern. It had a serene, calming vibe—exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway. The kitchen was impressively well-stocked with all the essentials and even had some ingredients available, which was a thoughtful touch you don’t often find in Airbnbs. The hosts, Donna and David, were incredibly understanding about our situation with two young kids and a late checkout due to work commitments. They were also very communicative and helpful throughout our stay, making everything even smoother. If you’re looking for a tranquil, well-equipped retreat by the sea, this is the perfect spot. Highly recommend!

Thank you Andrea we had an amazing stay. We were 8 adults (2 who have some difficulties walking due to recent surgeries) and 2 kids and the house worked well for us. It was easily walkable to the beach and the garden was a treat particularly for the Easter egg hunt. Very soft beds too.

The accommodation was fantastic and very comfortable. The big supermarket was very close, and we had a lot of cafes etc close by. It was worth the stay. Also, there are plenty of buses that take to the city centre from where one can take a short walk to the beach. Overall, it was a very good experience.

Great place with stunning views. Spacious flat with everything you need. Had a comfortable stay in a good location. Highly recommended!

nice place to stay, lots to do nearby

Really good stay, flat was super clean and in a great location for the beach and town centre. Will definitely stay here again in the future!

Such a lovely place, amazing view :) was perfect for our little family. Susan was amazing to deal with. Would definitely stay again. Many thanks!

Stayed for 3 weeks for work, was a great stay and very comfortable. Great hosts, really kind and helpful. Will be back again if works brings us up to the area!

We loved staying at Lauren’s place!It was even better than the pictures, really spacious and beautifully decorated. It was filled with really thoughtful aspects too such as the buckets and spades and beach towels. Would absolutely recommend!

What a fantastic flat, great space, quirky decor, good positive aura. Secret garden and the Nook... bonus hidden gems. Vikki and Mel, have considered most things.... well equipped kitchen, d/w, washing machine..large fridge freezer. Central heating/ hot water is excellent (my wife feels that cold more than any woman on planet earth).... complimentary g&ts. in summary, excellent flat, excellent location, excellent hosts. would certainly stay there again.
