Beach house vacation rentals in Southend-on-Sea

Ria’s place was fantastic.Great location minutes from the sea front.Spotless clean and everything you needed was there .Very good selection of toys which the baby loved.Everything was so easy to use from the shower to the hob and oven etc . Ria even made arrangements to have the house ready for us from 11am when we enquired if we could just drop our bags off early as we’d been travelling from 4 am. That to us was an amazing gesture 🤩

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!

We have just returned home from a week’s stay at Karen‘s house. It was a home from home with lots of space for our family of five and very clean. Karen was super helpful and responsive, she even went as far as leaving presents out for our children that they loved and food items for our stay. The house is centrally located for shopping, the seafront, park and many other local attractions. If you are thinking of staying here, we highly recommend and would book again. Thank you Karen!

Myself and 4 great friends stayed at Debra's place and we loved it. We had such a gorgeous weekend and there's nothing we can fault really. The house is so clean and homely with everything you would need. Debra went above and beyond to welcome us to an early check in (and in fact slightly late check out on request), to explain everything about the house and give lots of info on local things to do, restaurants, shops etc. We went to Whitstable Oyster Co for dinner and Samphire for lunch and both were wonderful. We walked and jogged along the sea front at the end of the road and walked in and out of Whitstable with ease. When we weren't out we really enjoyed the house which was the perfect size, layout and comfort level for our group. I really hope I/we can come back some time. Would highly recommend!

Amazing stay! Located right on the beach, beautiful views and only a short walk along the beach to the harbour and high street! First time in Whitstable and we cannot wait to book again for our return visit!

Staying at beautiful Beacon house, with those dream views of the sea right in front of us, has been fantastic! Katrina is a wonderful host, very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it!

Pristinely clean bungalow right next to the seafront. Fully accessible for those who need it, with wider walkways and doorways for wheelchair users. Little garden out the back for the dog, and space for two cars on the front drive. A stone’s throw from the promenade and beach, this place is a must for well behaved dog owners. Fiona was a great host, friendly and responsive, and the bungalow has been set up so it’s super easy to get in and use the facilities.

Two families stayed at Terry and Shirlie’s beautiful home. We had such a wonderful time there. The minute you walk in, everything is clean and fresh. Every single detail has been thought out from the lamps, to the mirrors, it’s really wonderful. You can see so much care has gone into their home. The location is brilliant and the list of recommendations for food and local amenities is so good. Terry was so brilliant at replying back so quickly and also really helped us out with a flexible check in/ out too. I would highly recommend staying here and we had 3 children with us. Thank you so much Terry and Shirlie!

As we walked in my son said ‘wow’ and that was all of our reaction! We have stayed in a caravan on this site before but this was a lodge and it was so much bigger! Great living space, 2 good sized bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a veranda! 40min lovely walk along the beach/promenade into Whistable and great foodie pub just across the road (the Oyster Pearl). We had a great couple of nights here, we wished we had booked longer!

A lovely getaway for my family. The Caravan was beautifully presented and the holiday park had lots for the kids to do. The heated outdoor pool was a bonus. Thank you Jill for a wonderful holiday

Lovely short stay, very close to the beach where we spent a lot of time with the children. Nice park at the site and lots of space to play outside. Caravan was clean and well looked after and the deck area was a nice touch to give added outdoor space and seating. Lots of the owners decor in the van which made it a little stressful with a toddler who wanted to explore everything but no problem for the older children.

A great stay to celebrate Christmas with the family, by the fireplace, around a beautiful tree and nice little gifts as soon as we arrive! Nikitia was very attentive to us and even recommended several Christmas activities in the area...

We had an amazing time in the caravan, Pavlina was very helpful always

Owner was lovely.very nice break well catered for and had everything you needed, couldn't have asked for much more really,thank you for a lovely stay ,felt like beeing at home .

What made our stay so great was the communication we had with Daisy. There were a few snags, parking, getting in the complex late at night without a key code, heating and water didn’t work the first day and the light in the kids room didn’t work. That said, she was incredibly helpful and polite. All sorted quick as a flash. Very clean, free WiFi, all you needed for a nice weekend break. Would 100% go again and recommend to any family. We’re a family of 5 and it was …..⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!!!! Thankyou Daisy! 💙

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.

Me and my family had a great stay. The cottage was just perfect and had stunning view of the sea. The low action is great just a stones throw away from the beach. Plenty of space in the cottage and great shed to store bikes. Gabrielle was a very responsive host and was very helpful. We will be back to stay in the near future and would highly recommend

Our third visit, certainly wont be our last. Always super fresh and clean, everything you could possibly need. Have never slept well even in very high end hotels due to hard beds or just poor quality but Carol uses high quality beds and bed linen so we always sleep well at 3c. Also super soft and always new looking towels. Hopefully we get time to return soon.

Lovely place for a weekend away in Whitstable - comfortably fit 4 adults.

very peaceful and scenic location. Dog absolutely loved the run of the surroundings, perhaps worth mentioning to other dog owners about the water 'pools', the dog dived in constantly (he is a big able dog) and so spent much time shut outside until he dried off, although only bathing him would get rid of the stink! Was a lovely open quirky place, the kids LOVED it and by night 2 had be home accustomed to no WiFi 🤣 instead they were playing outside which was perfect.

Great location, very well equipped kitchen, lots of seating, great layout, good outside space and very comfortable beds with good quality linen . We would definitely return.

Stunning High end finished property in a lovely part of Leigh-on-Sea. The host was terrific with helping us have a truly good stay. The house is literally the best Airbnb we have stayed in this area. The garden is a terrific space and lovely views over the estuary and with sunrise to sunset it has a wonderful position. The place was immaculate and far exceeded our expectations. With all the walkable restaurants, shops and bars it's difficult to check out and not want to move in full time. Really worth booking if you can get in at any time. Thank you!

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
