Waterfront vacation rentals in Essex

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place was as described. Great location. Within 2 minutes from the train station and corner store. The amenities were also as described. We fully recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in the area.

I had an absolutely perfect stay! The space was beautiful, clean, and exactly as described. The view was stunning & host was responsive and welcoming. The only very minor issue was that the sink drained a bit slowly, but it didn’t affect the overall experience at all. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

Great place. We’d originally booked another of Shy’s flats that became unavailable. However they were able to move us to another flat in the surrounding area for no other charge. Flat didn’t have an iron or hair dryer but when asked, Shy provided one on the same day. Would definitely stay here again. Great transport links and ideal for the O2 arena.

Kappy made it very easy for us to check in by explaining and telling us if he was needed he’d be always available. Nothing more than if you are stuck. The apartment itself was incredible especially for the price and couldn’t reccomend it enough from the overview of the o2 and river Thames. Underground was close by too which helped getting into central. 30 mins max you’d be there. Check out was very simple and made it easy for us.

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

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.

Levi was very informative with check in. The apartment is very modern and comfortable. Would highly recommend. Free parking right outside too! Thanks Levi for great stay!

Had a fabulous stay - location was excellent - near restaurants, food, transport - the Castle Park - so beautiful - the Unit had everything we needed - and was easy to find and locate key etc. Safe and secure. We will be back! Thanks

Beautiful lockside property, amazing location with two great pubs right across the way. House was nice and cosy when we arrived and the heating was great all weekend long. We especially loved the conservatory where we at our breakfast in the sun. Perfect for dogs and lots of beautiful walks nearby. Would definitely return in summer. Great stay thank you

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.

Love Old Leigh. Needed somewhere while visiting family locally and where better. Somehow managed to never see the tide in. Parking was good considering how busy the area is.

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

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.

Great view great place love it simply ❤️

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!

Seun was an amazing host who was very polite and respectful. He had great communication and made sure we understood everything. The place was really lovely and spacious, great location too! Will definitely be visiting again in future👏🏾

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Belinda flat, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences I've ever had! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the spotless cleanliness and thoughtful touches throughout the space. The decor was modern yet cozy, making it feel like a true home away from home. Belinda went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect, providing everything I could possibly need—from a fully equipped kitchen to luxurious linens and toiletries. The location was ideal, situated in a quiet neighborhood but just a short walk away from the train station. The attention to detail was impeccable, and it was clear that Belinda genuinely cares about her guests' comfort and experience. Communication with Belinda was smooth and easy, with quick responses. Overall, this flat exceeded all my expectation and provided an unforgettable stay. If you're looking for a place that combines style and comfort, look no further—this is it!

Had a great stay at Agi's place! The apartment is located right on the water with a bunch of shops and restaurants right at hand. Agi was also very responsive and welcoming, offering a book of suggestions on local attractions and willingness to communicate any time.

Claudia and Leon are great hosts very responsive and trying their best to accommodate. They have been great. There are some issues, but the host were pretty keen to resolve them. Great location.
