Bright sea view 2 bedroom apartment by the pier
Lovely bright apartment, clean and comfortable. Bedrooms on the back of the building away from the road with views of trees and shrubbery. Complimentary milk and croissants were a lovely extra. If coming to Hastings again would stay here and recommend it to friends. Thank you for a great stay.

Sunsets and Storms - seafront balcony apartment
If you want sea and beach views together with convenience of being close to town with its various pubs, local bakery and restaurants then this is the place to be. The balcony is great for people watching, sea views and sunsets: the weather was great. Thanks, Josie.

Sea view central St Leonard’s
Thank you for a lovely stay Zed. Your flat is beautiful and so perfectly situated. Such an easy walk to the beach, to wonderful shops and restaurants, and lots of options for great coffee. Thank you too for being such a helpful and communicative host. I would highly recommend.

Getaway on the dike
Accessible location, right next to the sea, impeccable condition, well-equipped, bright. Marc and Sandrine ensure the comfort of guests. Very responsive to requests. Excellent discovery! Thank you!

Beachfront apartment with wood burner & courtyard
Thank you Mathew for allowing us to stay with our dogs. Even though our stay was an emotional one, we felt right at home and that made things a whole lot easier. Being Autistic with other disabilities/difficulties, it can be very hard travelling and staying away at different locations. From the moment we arrived we felt like we belonged which really helped me to cope, thank you We loved the basement apartment, it was perfect from everything it offered, to the unique quaintness of its character, to how quiet it was, to feeling so warm and inviting. We look forward to returning again

Stunning 1 Bedroom Flat, 3 mins walk from the Sea
It’s so lovely when a host provides a few necessities…Stephen goes above and provides a wealth of items!! We had more bread, cereal, jam, croissants etc than we could use. Plus a bottle of proseco 😊. A really nice place to stay. The throw rugs were appreciated on chilly nights. Great communication.

"Grande Marée" * Sea View – Terrace – Cocoon
The accommodation has everything you need. We spent 1 night, unfortunately the weather wasn't great. The balcony view is great. I recommend the place.

Le Nid d'Oly
Together with my friend a wonderful weekend away. The location is fantastic, apartment is lightly cleaned and has all the comforts. I would recommend it 100% and will definitely be back! All the tips we received were also done and were not disappointed!

Stunning Sea View Home, St Leonards, Norman Rd
The house has all the comforts. The house is a house with stairs. Jo had warned about this. So we weren't surprised. In the house you lacked nothing and everything was clean and tidy. Parking was a bit of a problem. But in the end, it worked out well.

Cozy house with bikes, a tandem, and garage
The stay at Marianne's went very well. The accommodation was perfect, well-equipped, very clean, quiet as we like it. The outside is much appreciated. Also well located in relation to the shops. Marianne is attentive and responds promptly to any requests. The garage is a plus for us to store our bikes!

70s Inspired, 3-Bed Home in Rye with river views
A rather unusual 70’s inspired home, with a great garden space.. Orange leather sofa looked great but actually wasn’t that comfortable.. otherwise would highly recommend

The Old Stable
Absolutely lovely place to spend a night - from feeding the fish to a quick round of pool, and of course the brilliant facilities on the patio, which couldn't be simpler to use thanks to the helpful instructions. Everything is set up to provide optimum convenience and a warm welcome (like the plentiful fire/BBQ supplies and the eggs and marmalade from Jane's hens, which were both fantastic, so kind!) Jane herself is a wonderful host, and my partner and I highly recommend this listing. Thank you!

Restored Pub with Home Cinema on the Seafront
Booked this for my Husbands 70th. 5 couples so, having a bedroom with en-suite for everyone was a real find. The location was superb, everything in walking distance. Sally provided recommendations for a dinner on the Saturday evening. We went to the Royal Hotel (across the road). It was a perfect w/e and the weather helped. We had sea views and right on the front. Cinema room in the basement was fab and we couldn’t fault a thing. Thanks Sally

Beach house, cosy with stunning views.
What a wonderful place……everything as described….David & Donna provided a great welcome pack. The house had everything needed for a relaxing break. Beach was quiet and clean. Games room was a hit for the competitive people in our group! View from the sitting room was stunning ……Plenty of parking and was very easy to find.

Beautiful beachside apartment
Great location, overlooking the water. Very walkable to many restaurants and pubs. Reasonable walk from train station. Loved it!

Damselfly Cottage - Riverside calm in the Old City
Excellent Airbnb experience! A most comfortable, perfectly located flat. The Airbnb has everything you’d need and was very clean. Friendly, helpful hosts, I highly recommend staying here.

Freshly decorated 2025 Thorpe bay beach apartment
We had a fab few days . The flat is lovely...has everything you need, lovely decor, very comfy sofa and bed. Good places to eat within a few steps and easy to get to the pier and other spots. Bifold doors open onto the balcony which is a great place to sit and watch the world go by. Road is busy but once doors shut the flat is quiet...especially the bedroom. Slept very well on the comfy bed. Would recommend highly.

The Coastal Soul by the Sea
My wife and I had a fantastic stay at Nic’s beautiful place! Check-in was easy, the booklet provided had very concise, easy to follow instructions on how to operate the various things throughout. The property was beautifully decorated and close to the sea, providing stunning scenery, sounds and smells. Thank you Nic for hosting us and we look forward to returning in the future!

Quarterdeck Apartment. Beach Street by Deal Pier
Sue was terrific. She could not have been more accommodating when our party of 3 became 4 (to include a young grandson) and she provided us with cereals and goodies for him and a bed guard rail. Her lovely apartment is beautiful, light, airy and comfortably furnished with excellent quality appliances and fixtures/fittings. The beds were wonderfully comfortable. A superbly designed and appointed apartment. Thank you Sue. Our stay was short but perfect.

SeaSeat, amazing sea view flat
This is such a great flat if you want to have a fun stay in Margate. The views from the front window is just breathtaking. It’s central and you can walk easily to bars & restaurants as well as Dreamland. With the sun shining it felt like a weekend break in the riviera. Sara is a great host ⭐️

Superb sea view studio on an exceptional site
We had a great time (3 days/2 nights) in Wimereux! The accommodation is perfectly located with a magnificent sea view, a real pleasure from the moment you wake up! Everything is as described, clean, cozy and well appointed. The place is quiet, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the Opal Coast. Thank you for the welcome and availability, we will be happy to come back!

Margate | Seaside Haven | Terraces | Sleeps 6
We had a lovely stay at this apartment the location is absolutely perfect, with stunning views and easy access to the beach, town, and everything we needed. The apartment itself was well equipped and had everything to make our stay comfortable and convenient. We especially appreciated the spacious layout and modern feel. There were a few small maintenance and cleanliness issues that could use some attention, but overall, they didn’t detract from our experience. With a bit of extra care, this place could be absolutely flawless. We’d happily return and recommend it to others looking for a great spot by the sea!

Elevate your spirits with horizon spanning views
We have just arrived home after a wonderful short break at Seascape, celebrating my husband’s 70th birthday. Seascape is a beautiful apartment. Spotlessly clean and it felt like it had been newly decorated and furnished. It’s great to have two levels and two bathrooms. Felt very spacious and incredibly peaceful with the most glorious view. We spotted dolphins out in the bay from the balcony. Highly recommended. By far the best Airbnb we’ve stayed in. We also enjoyed the cafes and restaurants in St Leonard’s and the walk to Bexhill. Really didn’t want to return to 30 degrees heat in London. Thank you!

Beachfront apartment , eclectic interiors !
Kimberley's place is an unexpected delight. As soon as you walk in the apartment door you are hit with the 'WOW!' factor - it is truly stunning and the attention to detail is next to none. She has created a tranquil haven of bohemiam beauty, with everything you could possibly need for a stay by the sea. The location itself was perfect - within easy walking distance of everything in Hastings and St Leonard's, and with a gorgeous view of the ever-changing seascape. Kimberley was the most thoughtful and responsive host and had considered absolutely every tiny detail for guests. We loved our stay and would recommend to anyone wanting to stay somewhere special with buckets of character! Thank you Kimberley 😌
