Beachfront vacation rentals in Essex

Thanks James for allowing us use of the beautiful beach hut. We had a fantastic day at this lovely beach hut in Walton-on-the-Naze! As a family of four with two young daughters, it was the perfect base for a relaxing seaside day. The hut was clean, well-equipped, and had everything we needed—from chairs and crockery to games and umbrellas. Its location was ideal, just steps from the beach and close to cafes and toilets, which made things super convenient with kids. We enjoyed lunch with a sea view, plenty of sandcastle-building, and having a comfortable spot to retreat to when we needed shade or a snack. Highly recommended for families looking for a fun and easy beach day!

The house was beautifully positioned/appointed with wonderful open plan living room and kitchen. bathrooms were all spotless, modern and well presented. Light, airy house with wonderful views of the surrounding sea. A special find, allowing good friends to enjoy some precious days walking and cycling in the glorious surrounding countryside. Host was very attentive and easy to contact - would highly recommend.

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.

Another excellent time at the beach hut, this time for two days in a row. The hut has everything you could possibly need, perfect location, not right on front with lots of people going past all the time but not too high up where you are too far away, and just the right length of walk from the icecreams!! thank you for a lovely weekend

Comfortable home in peaceful location but near to the beach, very pet friendly. Mersea island is a lovely location. Plenty of lovely pubs within 10min walking distance. Mel is a fantastic host, very friendly and goes out of her way to make your holiday special.

Beautiful beach hut, great location.

Wow! Lee's place is bloody lovely. It had everything we could have needed. The garden was a great spot to sit in with a coffee & perfectly secure for our dog too. Thank you so much for the use of your home. And such a perfect place for beachy walks too; literally 5 mins walk to Dovercourt Beach, 10 mins walk down to the cafe & amusements (which my teen boys loved). We had a lovely break

Such a fabulous cottage in Old Leigh, nice interior, comfy beds, little sitting out area, close to shops. We would definitely return.

We have stayed at Cooper's Beach before, but never in such a lovely motorhome. The motorhome was spotlessly clean, well appointed and modern - it felt quite luxurious! And that is before we factor in the location. It is perfectly positioned near all the amenities: the clubhouse, the pool, the playground and the beach. Rohan responded quickly to our queries and was an informative host. It was a great place to stay and we had a wonderful trip.

Jenny, I hope you like my review, we enjoyed our short holiday in your caravan. I think you will need to fix some of the furniture, like the wardrobe door in the double room. Otherwise everything was fine, thanks. Peter

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 😊

Ideal location and convenient accommodation with all necessary amenities for a practical and comfortable stay. I would certainly recommend this accommodation to others.

Fantastic place. Enough space for the three of us especially with the decking. Really clean. Great location, easy walk to the beach and sea front, short walk to the country park. With a car it's easy to get around the island. The resort had a pool. some arcades and a nice bar. Always felt safe and secure. would recommend.

Hazel’s place is a fantastic place, right on the beach front and short walk to the facilities in this lovely holiday park. Had everything that we needed, all clean and well equipped. 100% recommend!

The guys really enjoyed the stay. Radoslava was very good with communication, will definitely stay here in the future.

Lovely Caravan, clean and tidy everything as described. Nice touches such as handwash, bathmat and toilet rolls that some caravan companies don't provide. Easy to get in with a key code rather than having to que at the reception on arrival, and bonus of own parking space next to the caravan. We would return again, thank you!

The condo is exactly like the photos, spotlessly clean and with gorgeous views of the beach. Centrally located just 5 minutes walk to the railway staying and several good restaurants within 3 minutes walk. Would happily recommend

Becky was responsive when we messaged. Lovely seaside cottage. ample space for the three adults. Nicely decorated and furnished. decorative linen. Nice bathroom and shower room. Loved the balcony and the views from the office area. Be prepared for parking to be a challenge. We didn't need to use parking but could see from how busy the parking was at the weekend we stayed. Great location for being in the heart of entertainment. This comes with noise at closing time but didn't bother us.

Hi Chris, so sorry we missed you when we left. Thankyou so much again for a fantastic stay. Will book again for sure

We had an absolutely lovely day at the beach hut. It's a short walking distance from the station, the hut was simple to find and we couldn't believe how peaceful it was being a couple of rows up - even on a busy bank holiday weekend. The large decking area was perfect to lay out the table and chairs and enjoy our picnic with wonderful sea views. Would love to visit again and highly recommended.

It was very nice and easy to get to. I would recommend it. Excellent location for the sailing club.

We had a wonderful stay at this house in the South East End of the UK. The property was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making it a relaxing place to return to after a day out. The location was fantastic—just a short walk to the aquarium and with easy access to the beach, which made our trip even more enjoyable. Communication with the host was smooth and prompt throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a convenient and comfortable stay in the area!

One of the best stays we have had anywhere. Very spacious, clean and comfortable apartment with wonderful views. The location is second to none. Ric and Gilly are great hosts - both helpful and responsive. So much to do in and around Brightlingsea that we'll certainly be returning to this lovely town in Essex.

Lovely cabin with everything you need for a few days stay, 2 min walk to the beach in a nice, quiet residential part of town. Easy walking path that runs along the beach for miles. Sally and her husband are wonderful hosts.
