Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in City of Colchester

Anne’s place is an impressive modern house in the bones of a Victorian semi. The kitchen is a fantastic, light space, ideal for entertaining. There is also living room seating and an excellent TV and piano as part of the open plan area. The bedrooms are plain but incredibly clean and comfortable. Everything about the place just works. Communication is with an agency, but they were fast and helpful. It’s on a quiet, family street 10 minutes to the station and a short bus ride or 25-minute walk to the centre. Tip to anyone staying - you only need to tap the keypad, not push.

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!

Lovely warm house, with easy instructions before arrival. There were three double bedrooms which were all comfortable. Large kitchen and the garden was enjoyed by the children. The house was great for the family and a short drive to city centre. We enjoyed the local parks. The shower was lovely! The bedroom TV did not work - not an issue for us but just for others who may have expected it. Just not tuned in.

We had an amazing stay at Kathryn’s and would definitely recommend. It was a perfect space for the whole family with all the amenities we needed plus was a walkable distance from town. Kathryn communicated promptly before and during our stay and recommended some lovely spots to visit in the town

Our group of 16 ladies stayed at Luke's and it was perfect! It had everything we needed to fit/seat/cook/sleep us all comfortably, with beautiful surroundings and the added bonus of a gorgeous hot tub overlooking the fields. Luke was great at answering questions we had in the lead up to our stay and was fast to reply. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone. Thank you Luke!

nice home and a great host

Second time here, nice peaceful and quiet area no to busy for location.

Absolutely perfect stay in a beautiful area. The house was spotless and even bigger than the photos show! It was perfect for 4 adults and my 16 month old daughter. Stuart sent great instructions through and loads of information about the local area, although we actually loved the house and grounds so much that we didn’t venture any further - we had a lovely few relaxing days in the house and walks around the woodland. My daughter even got to feed the goats. Will definitely come back, and will do a summer visit too as the pool looked beautiful.

Good accommodation in a beautiful area, very quiet, perfect for a " getaway." Accommodation was very clean.

We enjoyed our second stay at Helens apartment, fantastic property very well equipped with everything you need and more , very good location and Helen is a very responsive , friendly and helpful host. Thank you

Sea View is a comfortable flat which is in a perfect location for visiting family in the Southend area or exploring this part of Essex. The flat has a lovely view across to the River Thames estuary. The flat has two bedrooms with comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen, a clean bathroom with hot shower and a comfortable lounge / dinning room. The flat is well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. There is parking for a small car with off road free parking for something bigger. The flat is easy to access with clear instructions for the key pad and with using the heating etc. The flat is in a good location for many tourist attractions in the area and within walking distance of local shops, pubs and the shore line. Trevor is a very helpful host who provided lots of information and advice prior to our visit. He was very understanding when we reported an minor accident to a furnishing and we resolved the issue amicably. Thanks Trevor and our apologies.

I had an amazing stay at Maxine's place. Everything was very clean and the kitchen was very well equipped. Location of the place is good, and communication with the host was smooth. Overall it was great!

We stayed for a whole week at Janine's studio around our Daughter's Wedding day. It was really lovely to have such a private and quiet base to come back to, after meeting during the days with lots of family members! The studio was exactly as described; it felt warm and inviting, was beautifully set out, and had all we needed to make some simple meals, store food in the fridge, for packed lunches etc. We loved the view into the fields and woods and we enjoyed watching deer several times in the early morning and evenings too! Janine was easy to contact and responded to our messages straight away. We would definitely recommend Janine's studio to other couples for a peaceful getaway place!

Teresa was very helpful and friendly. The accommodation is small but Teresa has thought of everything to make the stay comfortable. Nice surprise to have a great continental breakfast. Also good to have a Miller and Carter restaurant opposite. Good wi-fi. Quiet. Would definitely recommend this studio flat. Location is good for access to Ipswich and A12/A14. Teresa is definitely a superhost.

This Airbnb was perfect for a few days when had a few things to do around London. It had parking outside for one car. It was private, cozy and warm. I would stay again

Clean and well organised space, with nice personal touches! My gf and I sincerely appreciated Heidi’s responsiveness and attentiveness! Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a short stay in Southend!

Wow! it's the easiest way to describe our whole stay. The apartment was fantastic, from the moment you stepped in, it felt like home. A place to unwind and relax. Everything is placed in such a lovely way that it feels like you put it there yourself it genuinely felt like our own home. The view from the balcony was incredible. Being able to sit there and drink a coffee looking out over the ocean was amazing. We really enjoyed our stay here and would love to come back again for another get away!! Thank you to Mark and Maxine for hosting such a fabulous apartment!

Sam’s place is at a fantastic location with everything within a short walk. The bed was probably the comfiest I have ever slept in. The place was spacious and stylish and had everything we needed. Would stay again and would recommend!

This is a little gem. The pics don’t do it justice. The garden is incredible and the host is delightful, aswell as the chickens, fish, Betsy, Archie and Aggy (dogs). Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this beautiful abode.

Had a great stay at Katy’s space. Everything was clean, comfortable and matched the description and we enjoyed the goodies Katy stocked the kitchen with to get us going! Great location - very close to everything we needed. If I was ever in Walton or Essex again would be happy to stay again. Communicating with Katy was very easy and she was happy to help with any questions!

This was our second stay here and we love how peaceful and relaxing it is. Perfect getaway from the stresses of day to day life.

We had a wonderful long Easter weekend at this apartment, booked easily even though it was very last minute due to being let down by another owner. Thank you to Caroline for being so helpful and super responsive. The location is perfect to explore Felixstowe on foot and it’s handy having private off-road parking. We played mini-golf, ate out at some great spots, used the huge park down the road, went to the arcades on the pier and swam at the leisure centre just across the road. The space is beautiful, spacious, clean and we had everything that we needed, and more. Clear instructions and helpful information on the pre-arrival details too. Our daughters didn’t want to leave! We’d love to return again.

“This is our third stay at Carol’s and, as always, we were very happy. The place is super clean, comfortable, and Carol is very responsive host. Highly recommended!”

Lovely place to stay, gorgeous garden and flowers outside, on a very peaceful road, could hear the birdsong. The room was spotless and Ann had very kindly left bread and milk for us. Everything we needed was there. Room is nice and bright. As we'd had a really early start we very much appreciated being able to check in a little earlier than normal. John and Ann were both very kind and friendly . Would highly recommend as a place to stay
