*Stunning River Views*, modern in great location
Fantastic stay for a long weekend with my wife! The location was perfect for exploring the town, and the exclusive development added a touch of luxury. The apartment was spotless and well-maintained, with a great view of the river from the balcony - The seating and table was very comfortable. The one-bedroom layout worked well for us, with spacious rooms and a hall. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. A big plus was the convenient car parking, just a stone's throw from the lift. One tip for future guests: make sure to pick up the garage key fob from the apartment before unloading your car! Overall, we were very comfortable here and would definitely stay again. Highly recommended!

Beachfront Apartment With Panoramic Sea Views
Amazing place. Even better than expected. Great location. Stunning views from the apartment. Apartment was clean, nicely decorated, had everything we needed in it and some extra touches that were very much appreciated. Well worth the money. Would definitely go back/recommend to others.

Sea Break
It was a lovely tidy and clean apartment with a wonderful view. Robin was very forthcoming in communication.

Beautiful seafront apartment, free parking permits
Great stay in a comfortable stylish apartment. The location was perfect as were travelling without a car and could easily walk everywhere. Lots of great pubs and restaurants nearby

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

Quirky & cool with amazing views to Isle of Wight
What an amazing apartment. Great location right on the beach, with fantastic views of the sea from the windows. Choice of seating areas with tables, open balcony and enclosed window area. Comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Easy to get to the ‘Witterings’ Chichester Marina etc. We all wished we could have stayed longer. Sam was a great person to liaise with before we arrived, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Sam.

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.

Osborne retreat-calm & cosy studio annexe, Warsash
I messaged prior to booking with some questions and Clare and Alex responded extremely fast, they even enquired with a taxi company as to whether they would do the journey to and from a wedding for us! Communication after booking was fab with really clear instructions. Upon arriving the place was really well presented, had everything we need. As an extra special (and much appreciated!) touch there was milk, coffee, tea, sugar and some chocolates! The bed was super comfy and the place had alot of storage for our clothes. We would definitely stay again and would recommend it to everyone!

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 😊

Stunning views over Lymington river
This was the perfect get away. The house was lovely and had everything we needed . Parking was a short walk but no problem. We loved the views and the setting was gorgeous. I would not hesitate to recommend and I would certainly like to return. Thank you Corinne for a great holiday!

Abbey Water Rooms
When people say "hidden jem" this is what they mean. Photos really don't do this beautiful annex justice. And Sue is a fantastic host. Very picturesque and peaceful too, though be mindful of the Abbey bells which can start early morning (Sunday).

Peaceful Beach Retreat Secure Parking Dog Friendly
Roxanne is a fab host. Quick responses and very helpful. Lovely location right on the beach. Safe and secure site and everyone very friendly. Ample parking. Roxanne very flexible re check in / out where she can. Thank you Roxanne. Marcus.

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.

Whole seaside apt, stones throw to the new forest.
Our international friends who were visiting from Sweden were very happy here. Everything they needed was supplied and the place was nice and tidy and clean. Peaceful quiet area only a short walk from the beach. Everything was disability friendly too.

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! 😊
Waterfront condo accommodation

“When all else fails take a holiday”~Book Trinny’s
Really good, clean, well equipped apartment. Very well located for access to the town and beyond, although obviously that does mean there is a bit of traffic noise but not too intrusive. Had we been travelling in peak summertime, personally we would have sought outdoor space but the apartment was described accurately and suited our needs perfectly. Host is very responsive, helpful and genuinely polite and welcoming.

New Upscale Contemporary Apartment - River Views
Great view over the river, apartment was very clean, modern and secure with keypad entry. Easy walk to restaurants and Spar supermarket nearby. Secure car park, parking space numbers are on the ground with slightly weird numbering system. Excellent entry instructions from the host, just read them properly. It does make the apartment very secure. Definitely a great choice to stay in Southampton.

Historic Quay | 2 The Old Alarm with free parking
Julie was a fantastic host, she was very responsive and helpful. The flat was lovely, it was in a great central location and was well equipped, homely and pristine. There were thoughtful touches such as the welcome hamper and a useful parking permit. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or to return again.

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!

Beachfront Portsmouth Apartment with Stunning View
Perfect for a short stay. Great view from the lounge and a perfect location. Really comfortable and everything exactly as described. Thank you!

Stunning Apartment With Panoramic Seaviews
I’ve stayed at this property before many years ago when it was first listed so this was a return trip because of how good it was the first time. It’s great to see its still in exactly the same condition it was all those years ago. Is quite simply one of the most beautiful apartments there is. The location is incredible and it has been decorated with such care and thought. The photos don’t really do it justice even though they are great too. It’s a place you will visit and think “ I would love to live here” Modern with a hint of style overlooking the sea, you can’t really ask for anything more. A lovely touch of being able to check out later was the icing on absolutely wonderful trip. This one isn’t to be missed!

Modern Beach Side apartment with easy access.
Great apartment in a perfect location! The apartment is exactly as in the photos and the view from the living room on a sunny morning is perfect. Chris was responsive on messages upon booking and checked a few times before checking in we had everything we needed. There was no issues at all so no need for us to reach out for any further help. First time visiting the Isle of Wight and already can’t wait to come back. Thanks for a great stay ☺️

Romantic Bracklesham The Bay Dog Friendly 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
