Apartment vacation rentals in Essex

Great place close to restaurants, cafés, grocery store, stores, and public transportation. Place was exactly as described in listing. Perfect place to stay for my time in London would definitely stay again.

The apartment has a luxury feel throughout truly a beautiful stay in the heart of Chelmsford. Would highly recommend!

Perfect for what we needed, visiting for a conference at excel. We were hardly there.

Flat is beautiful and in a perfect location close to the town centre. Very easily accessible. Harry is a great host and very quick to respond to messages. Couldn’t recommend enough!

This was the first time we used Airbnb, we are a family of four with two young kids (7 and 10). So we were very unsure about this as opposed to a hotel,. We wanted to see Central London but also to be close to the excel for an exhibition we were attending. James place offered both. Canary Wharf has a lot going on, James place was easy to get around London with a 5 minute walk to the station and with a day pass, we got everywhere we wanted to. The apartment was clean, the beds were comfy, the kitchen was fully equipped (even though we never used it, lol) and the neighbours were friendly. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking to stay in Canary Wharf and we will stay again when we visit London. James was always a message away and could not do enough to ensue we had a smooth process checking in, staying and leaving.

Had a fabulous week exploring Ipswich and Suffolk; this is a great base from which to visit a multitude of places and so much variety from Jimmy's Farm to World War 2 collections to falconry and kayaking to Saxon and medieval history; the furthest we drove was 40 miles. Excellent apartment with interesting views and Kie was a superb host - he met us at the apartment and also messaged during the week to check that everything was ok. Very happy to recommend this apartment and will definitely be visiting again in the future.

Great accommodation! Worth the money. Communication was easy and the host was pro-active.

I used Viktor's property as we had tickets to a concert at the O2. Viktor answered all my questions promptly and helped with getting around. His flat was really comfortable and had everything you could want. There's a Nisa food market next door so we could grab food and drinks. Highly recommend as a base for exploring London as the East India DLR is across the road! Wouldn't hesitate to return if we need to stay again. Thank you for a great stay.

Rukayat was super responsive and very helpful when checking in. The place is free of clutter, and was very clean. It’s easily within walking distance of Canning Town Station which is super convenient. Could maybe do with the addition of a tea towel to dry plates and cups used, and the arm of the sofa was a bit broken, but considering the price, the convenience, and having all other amenities we needed, we really can’t complain. Thank you for having us, we will probably be back soon!

This was a beautiful home to stay in whilst we were in the area. The house was lovely and the bed super comfortable. There was no noise coming from any neighbors and the kitchen was full stocked with kitchen utensils. All in all it was great value for money and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to anyone that was considering staying.

Clean, brighf,restful and perfect for a family of 3 plus dog. We love the history of the place and its character, as well as the view. Beds really comfortable which is a big win from us

Everything was perfect

This apartment was in a perfect location, 8 min walk from beach and faur rides. There is a big Sainsbury's only 3 min walk and plenty of restaurants just 3 min walk. The high street with big shops only 5 min walk. The apartment was very cosy and had a balcony. We loved our stay, the only negative is that on 12th floor it was very warm in April and no fan or air conditioning in flat. There is no blind or curtains on balcony window so when sun shines the room gets very very hot. If the owner puts a blind or curtains this would solve that problem. Other than that we had a lovely stay and Maria was an excellent host.

I had an exceptional stay at London Haven with CJ host and am delighted to give it a full 5‑star rating! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The space was impeccably clean, comfortably furnished, and thoughtfully designed with families in mind. Security was clearly a priority: the neighborhood felt safe, the home was protected, and the host provided clear instructions and 24/7 contact information. We never worried about our belongings or our little ones’ safety, which made our vacation stress‑free. On top of all that, the free on-site parking was incredibly convenient and gave us one less thing to worry about. No hunting for spots or paying extra fees—just park and enjoy. Overall, this Airbnb delivered on every promise—spacious, cozy, family‑friendly, secure, and with the bonus of free parking. Our kids are already asking when we can return! Highly recommend for anyone seeking a five‑star, worry‑free stay.

It was the perfect home away from home! Everything was super straightforward and accessible including shops, parks/open spaces, check in, parking etc. The home was beautifully decorated, clean and tidy. Not a bad word to say about my visit and if I’m ever in the area again I would definitely stay again :)

Arthur’s place is really nice and provides for a very comfortable stay . His instructions guide is very clear and he is very helpful and responsive . I am very happy I chose this place for my stay . One of my best stays of Air BnB

Lovely little flat with fun amenities. A little out the way, but I was aware at booking.

The location was beautiful scenic and peaceful we loved it. We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed using the jacuzzi during sunset. The property was cute and had everything we needed. Simon provided some lovely bagels, muffins, tea and milk for breakfast which was great. Thanks for having us ☺️

Marius's place is lovely. We loved our stay. The pictures don't justify this beautiful home. You have greenry, park and sunrise views from the bedroom and sunset views from the living room. It just can't get any better! The home is newly renovated and everything is pristine. It's spacious and has everything you might need for your stay. Marius is a super host. He accommodated our requests and was prompt in arranging for all the things we felt missing at home. He made sure our stay was comfortable. Also, there are 2 tube stations and both are approx 10 min walk from the property. Would definitely recommend this place. I'd love to book it again for my future travels.

I really enjoyed my stay here. It was calm and peaceful especially with the local walking trails and the hot tub. As well as the peacocks who came up to be fed with the peacock food that was provided; it was a nice touch. Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful and cosy apartment, clean, great amenities. Clear communication from the host made check-in super easy :). Location is both close to the train station and to Ipswich Town Centre (shops, restaurants, etc). Would love to stay here again!! Much love <3

Great stay, nice flat in a very peaceful area with a sylvan outlook

Such a lovely place’ convenient and very respectful x
