Holiday rentals with beach access in Leigh-on-Sea, Southend-on-Sea

Great place to stay in the heart of Whitstable, with coffee shops & restaurants on your doorstep. We stayed with our daughter, and having kids books and games there was another great touch. We weren’t in the flat often, as we’re out and about during the day but our stay was comfortable. I didn’t notice the noise others mentioned from the bedroom at the back of the flat, and our daughter slept just fine (we are from London and believe noise is part of the territory when you’re in the centre of town!). Would stay again for a weekend trip.

Beautiful apartment and well thought out. Shared garden space is huge and again beautifully designed and well thought out and importantly for us secure. Our doggies loved it too. So near to the beach we could swim and dry off back at the apartment. A short walk and you have all the great bars and restaurants Mersea offers. Kelly is a great host ,very responsive and accommodating.

Shelby was a great host. Really responsive, helpful and easy to get a hold of. She was very flexible and her communication was great. She was proactive in ensuring my stay went smoothly and I had a great stay thanks to that.

Me and my family had a lovely time at the beautiful apartment. 5 minute walk from the seaside and surrounded by many shops. The apartment was spotless and felt like a home away from home. Modern kitchen and bathrooms, and had everything you would need for your stay. The host responded as soon as we needed him and was very kind to facilitate our needs.

Partner and I really recommend this quaint little place, its central and has good views of the sea and is just so cosy, its nice and pretty, its airy and just full of little quirks that make the place really memorable. We really, really recommend this place to all that wish to stay in the local area too. It was an pleasure to be in such an wonderful little home

My friend and I stayed with our two 17 year old daughters. plenty of space and a lovely apartment. I particularly enjoyed the balcony off the kitchen. very nice for outdoor coffee and breakfast !

Visited Leigh On Sea to visit a friend and previous Airbnb was booked up Excellent location near restaurants and shops and secure parking is a massive bonus in Leigh Clean accommodation - ideal for 2 people Loved the Welcome to Leigh In Sea original sign. Good to have the balcony

It was very homely and all the furnishing are top quality compared to most other air bnb and we just felt very at home and comfortable. I’ll be staying again when I’m in Leigh on sea

Enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home, everything was spotless the garden was beautiful. Everything you would need was provided! Will definitely be coming back. The area it self was also lovely. We was also aloud to check in early free of charge. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a getaway! Thank you.

Just wow, this is possibly the nicest Airbnb I’ve stayed in! Beautiful house, everything was high quality, kitchen had everything we could need! We were a big group staying for my daughter’s wedding locally & it was just perfect! I’d come back to this area just for this house!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Slip Cottage. Great communication from Steve throughout and perfect location for beach, restaurants, etc. Literally just off the main street but still quiet. Lovely touches like providing handwash and bubble bath! Lots of towels and toilet roll also. Highly recommend staying here.

Great property and right in the centre of everything. Perfect for our family birthday celebrations from age 7 to age 80. A great find. There are three sets of stairs, but that is fine. Clean property, clear instructions and lovely furniture. The put up beds are very much for a child, and quite firm, but fine for our boy. We took two cars, and used Just Park for the second which made things so much easier over a bank holiday weekend.

We had a lovely stay at Becky’s place. The house was very clean and comfortably spacious for our group of seven — no small feat when you’re trying to coordinate showers, tea rounds and who gets the comfy seat in the garden. The terrace and garden were a real highlight, with a little sea view that made morning coffees and evening drinks feel extra pleasant. The value for money was excellent, which we really appreciated. Now, the location… well, let’s just say Sheppey has a certain rugged charm. It’s not exactly buzzing with activity, but if you’re looking to unplug, stare at the sky and listen to seagulls with strong regional accents, you’re in the right place. The house itself is simple and functional. Becky was responsive and helpful throughout, and the listing was accurate. Thanks again for the stay!

Perfect location a stone throw from the shore, near Neptune Pub (right on beach) and Wheelers Restaurant on the high street. Interesting independent shops, quirky coffee shops and pubs tucked in back streets. Wonderful beer garden and restaurants. A lovely get away just an hour away for me.

Had a great stay at Claire's house. Claire was very helpful & responsive on messages. The location is perfect, walking distance to the village for the cafe's and the beach. The kitchen was well stocked and the outside space was perfect for relaxing in the afternoon and evening. Thanks Claire for a great stay!

We loved our stay here - the perfect location for a few days away from London. Easy walk from the station and surrounded by great restaurants and bars (we recommend Porto Wine Bar, Whitstable Oyster Company, and the Lazy Lobster). Beautiful interior, kitchen had everything you could need, and it was spotlessly clean. Would recommend and visit again.

Great place to stay. Very close to the beach. Milk, tea, coffee and sugar provided. Very helpful host

This is a lovely flat with everything you could want for a very comfortable stay. David and Lisa are quick to respond to any questions or requests and most accommodating. The flat is clean, charming and convenient to the beach, train station and shops.

We had a great stay at Karen's. The accommodation was beautiful and had everything we needed. The roof top balcony was gorgeous in the sunshine. Karen couldn't have been more welcoming, and Leigh-on-Sea had a lovely high street with some amazing restaurants and cafes.

I am a heavy travellers . I stayed so many places before. Hotels or flats. Aniesha’s flat is like a five star hotel suite! Very modern and stylish. The building is only 1.5years old. Very clean and the location is very convenient just in front of railway station and near supermarket and shopping center. Lots of restaurants nearby. It makes me feel like home. Thank you Aniesha! Aniesha is a very nice host. I already look forward to coming back again! Wish a merry Christmas and Happy new year.

The place was clean, and exactly as described. The host was incredibly friendly and responsive. The location was perfect, close to everything. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Chris & Hilary were wonderful hosts, they were very proactive and made sure we had every bit of detail about the property and its surroundings. The property is beautiful and clean and its located within short walking distance from the beach. We also loved the private park garden which was our pull factor to the property. Check-in and checkout process was very easy and straightforward. The Internet speed was great and the bed is very comfy. Me and my wife tried to think of any room for improvement to feedback to the hosts and we struggled to come up with anything. We definitely found our holiday home in Southend-on-Sea and we cant wait to stay there again. Thank you Chris & Hilary!

Very nice flat in a prime location! Close to Leigh Broadway and two train stations. Hosts always available. Would definitely recommend

We're just home from a lovely stay at Daria's place in Southend. It was absolutely spotless when we arrived and beautifully decorated, you can tell alot of thought has gone in to every detail. You are very close to the main strip so you can hear the hustle and bustle if you're sitting in the garden (we enjoyed listening to it all!) but I can't say we noticed it that much when we went to bed. We had our one year old asleep in a cot in the room with us and he didn't stir at all so there you go! There's a Tesco express within walking distance for bits and bobs and you're so close to all the chippys and bars and the sea front. We will definitely be visiting again! Thanks Daria!
