Waterfront vacation rentals in City of Colchester

We stayed for two weeks and we had such a great experience- great location - super close to the train station and town center. My kids loved the little play area above the rooms. Jodie was super responsive

Lovely apartment i could of stayed for longer. beautiful view. I will definitely come back.

The apartment is very well appointed with a great view over Ipswich Marina with the bonus of some fabulous sunsets too. The apartment is spacious for a two-bedroom accommodation and the two bathrooms are a definite advantage. The host, Martin, was very supportive and attentive to our needs throughout the stay with prompt and friendly communication. I would certainly recommend this apartment and would look to book again for future stays in Ipswich.

Enjoyed a week's stay at the Mill House Apartments (unit 3) with several large windows directly overlooking the scenic Mill Pond with swans and buzzing with punting activity departing next door at Granta Pub. Lots of restaurants in the area (Granta, Mill House, Thai) and a gas station at the end of the block for supplies (milk, cereal). Easy walking distance to downtown Cambridge shops, pubs, and restaurants. Well sited in between Cambridge University's central colleges downtown and outer colleges (Selwyn, Clare Hall). Free parking behind a gate with code adds to the convenience for those with vehicles. Apartment fob for entry worked well. Apartment was very bright and comfortable, including a lot of extras like a big fan for cooling, washing machine next to refrigerator, iron/board, drying rack, coffee/tea packs, dishwasher cubes, extra trash bags, starter supply of paper products, etc. Nice graphic art in apartment. Owner sends detailed instructions and is very responsive. Book it.

Really lovely apartment with fantastic views. So many great amenities nearby. We really enjoyed our stay and had a lovely weekend in Ipswich. Very comfortable beds and lovely decor in the apartment. Will definitely stay here again if we return to Ipswich. Great communication from the host. Totally recommend a stay here. Thank you!

What a little Gem, we loved our stay and the flat was amazing, fully equipped with what we needed. Amazing views and very comfortable. Great location and great parking and close to all amenities. We would definitely recommend, thank you for letting us stay 🥰.

Great stay and ideal location to all things in Erith.

Excellent accommodation, very well equipped and witching easy walking distance into the city. Perfect for our long weekend.

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.

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!

Visited for a wedding nearby, great stay and Melanie was flexible with check in times.

Stayed over the Easter weekend. Clear instructions on how to find it & get inside. We had 2 cars so parked 1 in the secure gated area which was a real benefit, the other car on the street. There was always space available in the road but not always directly outside the house. The house is on 3 floors with big spacious bedrooms & a seaview from the rear rooms. Exceptionally comfy beds & good quality bed linen & towels. A well equipped kitchen & a good stock of board games in the living room which we had fun using each evening. Other houses in the street had a wheelie bin but I couldn’t find ours so sorry, we couldn’t empty the bins as we normally would when vacating a property. 1 thing I would add to the top floor bedroom would be a comfy chair, there’s space for 1 & it would be a nice place to sit & read. The house is next to a trainline but right at the end of the line so no noise at all. Harwich is small & seemed very quiet. A few shops, pubs & restaurants easy walking distance away.

This was an absolutely perfect stay. The house is enormous yet homely, beautifully appointed and with the most breathtaking views. The pool and spa are an added bonus and the path down to the beach / estuary is gorgeous. All in all an absolutely fabulous place and we will be back. Thank you xxx

Fantastic place to stay, comfortable, smart and very clean. Check in and out was straight forward and easy. Tanya was a great host and easy to communicate with, thank you for our stay!

Such a beautiful location with large windows to appreciate from every direction. We loved the local fish shop with daily fresh fish to buy, as well as the sweet cafes.

I was attending a course in the area and the stylish and cosy accommodation made it a super all-round experience. The heating warmed the place thoroughly within 5 minutes and all the essentials were provided.

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!

Great location, nice and quiet. Close to the beach and 10 minute walk to the pier. Looked like the pictures and exactly as I was expecting. Sofa and beds were comfy and plenty of afternoon sun on the balcony.

A cosy studio flat. Spotlessly clean. Lovely bathroom. It had everything we needed whilst visiting family in Frinton. The only downside was that the high street is a little noisy, but it was great to have everything on the doorstep. Thanks!

Would come again, lovely and secure parking.

Fab apartment, really homey and warm, Georgina was very proactive and responsive. Very flexible and friendly.

We had another lovely stay in Donna's apartment. The location is wonderful, being so near to the seafront and local shops. Donna has made some great changes since we last stayed, which we loved and the apartment has kept its lovely feel. We would love to come back.
