Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Southend-on-Sea

Thank you Sophie, the house felt like a home. The books, the toys, the rooms, the garden an added bonus for the little people. “but why can’t we stay longer” asked grandchild. Appreciated the earlier check in, and thank you for your flexibility and understanding with our car problems.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Slip Cottage. Great communication from Steve throughout and perfect location for beach, restaurants, etc. Literally just off the main street but still quiet. Lovely touches like providing handwash and bubble bath! Lots of towels and toilet roll also. Highly recommend staying here.

A comfy, clean and central location. Good for a family with teens. We had everything we needed and communication was prompt. Enjoyed a day trip to Dover Castle and Mass downtown. Very easy to get to by foot. Thank you for a lovely stay! May God bless you!

We had a quick but lovely stay. The house is super cute and cozy and well located. Karen and her family were very friendly and made us feel at home. We are definitely coming back next year.

Dom’s communicated really well from the start, with clear instructions, and was always available to answer questions. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed and more. The bed was really comfy and the rainfall shower was excellent. The kitchen was well-equipped and the moka pot was great for morning coffee. Having a dedicated parking space was a huge bonus and it meant that we could walk into Canterbury, which was about 15 minutes along the river or 10 minutes straight into town. We had a great stay in Canterbury and visited lots of Kent from here too, so the apartment is well placed for not only the city, but the wider area too. Thanks Dom.

Fantastic stay with my family. We have outgrown a caravan holiday and this was absolutely perfect for us. Private but with neighbours. Very relaxing. Wonderful to have a fully functional kitchen with all you need to cook breakfast, lunch or dinner! Hidden treasure!

A truly fantastic and spotlessly clean cottage in a prime location! We really appreciated the welcome essentials, chocolates and fresh flowers. We loved how convenient it was for all the shops, restaurants and cafes (fab coffee and cake at Tiny Tim's cafe). The proximity to West Gate city gate (just a couple of minutes) , the cathedral and the lovely riverside dog walks were fantastic. One of the highlights of our trip was a relaxing punt tour with lovely Mike from Westgate Punts, his historical knowledge and insights into Canterbury were fascinating (if you book a trip, make sure you ask for Mike). Janet, our host, was so lovely and incredibly helpful. A perfect getaway!

We've been coming to Whitstable for years on days out but never stayed. This was a magical find, so comfortable, so close to the beach, shops and restaurants but also just set back enough from the high street and the seafront to have real peace and quiet and feel secluded. A real treasure and we'd be happy to stay again. Kids (13yo twins) also really enjoyed it - and that's a tough audience! Thank you Krista and Seaside Properties!

A lovely lodge in a Beautiful peaceful meadow. Dom went above and beyond to make sure that everything was ok for us

Lovely place with great facilities and Wendy was so nice and welcoming.

Nice and relaxing place. Very well equipped especially the kitchen area. Welcoming big basket, even milk and butter in the fridge and ice cream. A little bit more cleaning needed and carpets especially. But a great ans beautiful place to stay, very friendly and communicative hosts.

Had the best two nights at Tracy’s home from home. Was everything she had described, very comfortable I had the best two nights sleep. Close to the beach and you can see the sea from the van. Thank you I will be back 😊

A really lovely place to stay. Peaceful, spacious and great value. Lots of parking and amenities. Only wish we’d stayed longer!

Incredible value and such a great place to stay. Had a fab two days there - shame it was for work!

This was our second visit to the Lighthouse and it still is an amazing place, from the panoramic sea views to a lovely warm inviting home. A dip in the pool before breakfast, sitting with a coffee watching the seascape, as far as Essex and beyond, sunsets and so much more. I will make the same comment as I did last, this goes for the whole of our party across 3 generations and the dogs, the only bad thing about the Lighthouse is having to leave. Hopefully this will not be our last visit.

David is a fantastic host, always very responsive and helpful, answered all my questions. We felt right at home, and will definitely return in the future!!

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.

Lovely little hose a stones throw from the beach

Lovely home from home. Was very clean, easy to check in, plenty of home comforts and lovely hosts. Excellent location too. Would recommend and stay again!

Lovely little house. Duncan made it very welcoming and even left some things out for the dog. We had a lovely 3 night stay and were very comfortable. Thank you

Great location, really nice mostly-enclosed garden and a fully enclosed orchard which is great for dogs! Nearby is whitstable, as well as Canterbury, and Dover is just about 30 mins driving away. The cottage was cozy but fairly spacious and we really enjoyed our stay!

Loved our stay here. Beautiful place, great hosts always very responsive. The lodge was very well equipped with everything you need and more. Unique, peaceful, wonderful. We will be back!!

I enjoyed my stay immensely, the local pub across the way a short op seconds stroll has an exceptional range of high quality food, serves by really friendly staff. If I ever need to be back in this part of the UK I shall certainly be seeking to return to this apartment.

It was very homely and all the furnishing are top quality compared to most other air bnb and we just felt very at home and comfortable. I’ll be staying again when I’m in Leigh on sea
