East Wittering Beach, Sea Views, Beach Access

TonyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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

JodieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!

Abbey Water Rooms

KathrynRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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).

Waterfront, character cottage

JulieRating, 5 stars2 days ago
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.

Seaside converted Boathouse in Warsash Village

DavidRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The Boathouse is an elegant converted property in a discreet location, but so close to the riverfront at Warsash. The living space on the first floor is airy and comfortable with a good kitchen area. The bedrooms downstairs are comfortable and have great bathrooms. It's also very useful to have a parking space outside. If you bring another car, the long stay car park is only a step away and good value. Warsash is well positioned for leisurely walks and the cash only ferry across to Hamble-le-Rice, which is equally charming. So many boats here, there's always something to watch and good options for local food and drink on both sides of the river. We enjoyed a lovely weekend.

“When all else fails take a holiday”~Book Trinny’s

WendyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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

GrahamRating, 5 stars6 days ago
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.

Stunning Apartment With Panoramic Seaviews

MilesRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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!
