Lovely clean and modern apartment.Relaxing place.

BenRating, 5 stars5 days ago
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.

Home by the sea

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.

Unique Wedge Shaped Seaside Beach House

SaraRating, 5 stars3 days ago
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 🤩

Kath Rating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!

Love Old Leigh. Needed somewhere while visiting family locally and where better. Somehow managed to never see the tide in. Parking was good considering how busy the area is.

Serenity Waterfront 2 Bed Apartment

SolomonRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I recently stayed at this apartment and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The place was spotless—very clean and well-maintained. One of the highlights was the stunning view, which made every morning and evening feel special. The location is perfect—convenient, safe, and close to everything you might need. What really stood out to me was how helpful and responsive the host was. Anytime I called, he answered immediately and was always available, no matter the time. His attention and care really made the stay even more comfortable. I 100% recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a great place to stay. I will definitely be coming back again and again
