House vacation rentals in Essex

We were pleased to find accommodation available where we could all stay and have a bed, have our second Christmas Day and generally be together with lots of space. Having the pool to enjoy was a particular bonus as most of us enjoy the water.

Van is in one of the best spots for views and privacy. Very comfortable with everything you need close by. Another fab stay.

Laura’s house is beautiful, it’s very private and the pool is fantastic. The house is cosy and spotless clean. The area is also quite nice, and there’s also a pub walking distance.

We had 2 nights at Kristians house Was perfect location for us as we were spending our time in London Close to train station Plenty of places to eat Lovely quiet location, the house was beautiful with so much space Would highly recommend and book myself again

South rectory is an amazing place to stay. It’s hidden behind gates and an impressive drive. It feels very grand and country estate but is really close to motorways and Brentwood.. We spent more than a month there waiting for a house sale and loved it.. The owners were very friendly and responsive and even let my dogs out for me each day which was soo helpful.. I would recommend and go back x

Beautiful place, excellent facilities and clean. Antonina was brilliant, responsive and a lovely host. Would definitely recommend. It was perfect for our big family gathering and plenty for the kids to play with in the kids room! All in all, wonderful trip! Thank you so much for having us!

We had a fantastic stay, spotless caravan with everything you need and super quick response. Great price, can’t wait to return!

We enjoyed a relaxing weekend at Bear House. Marcus is a fantastic host, replying promptly and helping whenever we had questions. His house and gardens are spectacular and we loved our swim in his natural swimming pool. Nayland village is beautiful. We enjoyed a short walk along the river spotting a heron, several varieties of poppy and admiring the riverside houses on the way to the Anchor pub. We also enjoyed brunch at the old mill and a meal at the Angel, which is 5 minutes’ drive away in Stoke-by-Nayland.

What a beautiful place to stay - right next to a nature reserve, with the oyster catchers and curlews calling at night and wildlife wandering into the garden. But also very close to pubs, coffee shop and the sea. Great if you like birds, wildlife and peace and quiet.

We had a wonderful 2 night stay. The location was ideal for our visit to London. This Airbnb is very close to the Tube into London but also the lovely high street of Epping is in easy walking distance. Lovely clean and tidy accommodation and a very helpful host. Many thanks.

Lovely home ideal for a few friends sharing, as we were. Special mention for the lovely big first floor living room and outdoor seating area.

We had an amazing stay here celebrating my partners birthday, the house is absolutely stunning (one of the few places that are actually better than what the pictures show) and the location is so peaceful. Russell was very communicative and was happy to answer any questions we had. Really recommend!

We had such an incredible time at this house. We were all pleasantly surprised at how great the house was and all the amenities. I don’t think the advert does it justice. We were a big group of 21 with 11 little ones who were in HEAVEN. We got very lucky with the weather and spent the whole weekend in the glorious grounds. We brought our own paddling pool and it was perfect. The aspect of the house means you get stunning sunsets and the back terrace is a real sun trap - long evenings sunbathing until 7pm! The surrounding area is stunning and the local village is so beautiful!! Walking distance (even with a million young children) to the village shop and then on to the very well equipped play park. We only wish we could have stayed for a week, the kids never wanted to leave. Some very special memories made here! Rachel the host is on the end of the phone for any questions and was excellent at responding to our queries.

Amazing short stay at Verna’s place whilst away on business. Will definitely stay again in the near future. The room was really restful, great amenities, and off street parking was a bonus. Highly recommend!

We love the house, beautiful back yard with BBQ facilities connected with a spacious kitchen / dinner area. The whole family enjoyed the stay. Peftect local, very close driving distance to chlemsford City center where you can find all kind of supermarkets, Restaurant and shopping Malls.

Great place to stay for a getaway! Host was always responsive even for a last minute booking. Would recommend to others!!!

The Nook is a lovely space, in a quiet location. We arrived to a clean and well-kept accomodation with thoughtful amenities. Margaret was very friendly and helpful. Overall, I would recommend The Nook.

This place is 5 star in everyway. Tina was an excellent host and very responsive. The place was very spacious and clean. Comfy king bed and good shower. There’s a lovely welcome pack. Outside there’s a big outdoor setting overlooking fields and a fully fenced paddock to exercise your dog. Definitely be back!

I had a lovely stay here with my son and dog. We came to clacton to visit family and it was ideally positioned for this. The local rugby field is just behind the house, which was ideal for walking the dog. Would definitely stay again.

Fabulous place to stay - we will definitely be returning. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The location is fabulous and very peaceful and there was everything we needed in the property. The fresh bread was a fabulous gesture too. We will pass the details of this property to friends and family and as Arni said - we will return x

Second stay at this lovely home. Hosts are wonderful and the area is perfect. Ticks all of the boxes of what makes Airbnb special.

This property was absolutely stunning. A perfect location for a relaxing group get away. We had so much fun and enjoyed relaxing in the very spacious garden. Olly and Mirek are fantastic hosts and we would definitely recommend this place!

Great location for a seaside stay. Accommodation very good but fairly hard work for us as old age pensioners; Leigh-on-Sea is fairly hilly and although the location of the house was excellent, it wasn't the easiest for us with a pushchair and two-year old in tow (we had our daughter with us which helped considerably)!

I had a very good stay at Kaye’s place! The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing visit. Kaye was a lovely host—friendly, helpful, and easy to communicate with. The space felt welcoming and well looked after, and it was clear that a lot of thought had gone into making guests feel at home. I’d happily stay here again!!! Thank you, Kaye!
