Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Leigh-on-Sea, Southend-on-Sea

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.

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!

Lesley and her husband were their when we arrived (2hrs early) they were putting the finishing touches to the cleaning. They very friendly and kindly allowed us to enter immediately. The parking was on the driveway. The welcome pack was extensive and good quality. The property was clean, tidy and modern fittings for bathrooms and kitchen. Everything was of a high standard, lacking nothing. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Met vrienden 4 dagen verbleven. Ruime parking voor onze auto’s en scooters. Het huis was stijlvol ingericht met veel aandacht voor details! Heel proper! Fijne tuin! Mss zou de buitenkant wel een opfrisser kunnen gebruiken. Op wandelafstand zeer goed restaurant. Elke dag ontbeten en gedineerd. Was top! Huis is dikke aanrader om de omgeving te verkennen en met trein naar London te gaan. Dikke aanrader! Top host Katrina👍

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.

Robert was a great host and quick to fix any minor issues. Super house in a quiet area. I was working in the area but if you are a bird watcher there is lots to do. The local pub was very welcoming too. The loo is downstairs which may worry some but was fine with us. The garden was dog friendly as it was fully enclosed. The decor is super stylish.

A beautiful apartment in a great location. Bernadette was responsive and went over and above in accommodating my early flight arrival and late departure. The apartment had guests departing on my arrival but Leanne still managed to have it cleaned and ready for me to check in (early), thank you. If you are looking for a place that is literally 45mins from London (by train, station across the road), 5mins walk to Leigh Broadway with its shops and restaurants, and all the creature comforts of home, this is your place to stay.

Had a great stay at Claire's house. Claire was very helpful & responsive on messages. The location is perfect, walking distance to the village for the cafe's and the beach. The kitchen was well stocked and the outside space was perfect for relaxing in the afternoon and evening. Thanks Claire for a great stay!

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.

Great location to the sea. Clean and tidy Great park to stay on. I will rebook this year.

We were only in the area a couple days for a family reunion so we really only slept in the accommodation but everything was there we would definitely book again

Great stay! Really nice! Very close to the beach, lovely walks to west Mersea. Shanice was bang on with her communication.

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 😊

Spotlessly clean, well equipped holiday home - highly recommended Samantha was very responsive to queries / questions we had prior to arrival

Lovely caravan, in prime location on site, well equipped and lovely host with good communication!

We stayed at Kirsty’s Carvan as a family of 5, the van was absolutely spotless and so many homely touches that made our weekend perfect, lovely bit of decking and seating area outside we really enjoyed as the weather was beautiful. Great communication from Kirsty we will definitely book again Thank you!

Dear Maggie, I would like to sincerely thank you and your husband for your warm hospitality and exceptional kindness. From the moment I arrived, your quick and friendly communication made everything so smooth and welcoming. The cottage was absolutely beautiful—peaceful, cozy, and surrounded by breathtaking nature. It truly exceeded my expectations, and I felt very comfortable and at home throughout my stay. You were both incredibly kind and generous, and I truly appreciated every thoughtful detail. Thank you so much for making my stay so special. I highly recommend your place to anyone looking for a serene and memorable getaway. Warm regards,

We had a lovely stay at Becky’s place. The house was very clean and comfortably spacious for our group of seven — no small feat when you’re trying to coordinate showers, tea rounds and who gets the comfy seat in the garden. The terrace and garden were a real highlight, with a little sea view that made morning coffees and evening drinks feel extra pleasant. The value for money was excellent, which we really appreciated. Now, the location… well, let’s just say Sheppey has a certain rugged charm. It’s not exactly buzzing with activity, but if you’re looking to unplug, stare at the sky and listen to seagulls with strong regional accents, you’re in the right place. The house itself is simple and functional. Becky was responsive and helpful throughout, and the listing was accurate. Thanks again for the stay!

Wir hatten eine superschöne Woche bei Chris und Sophia. Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön und gemütlich. Die Kinder haben den Garten genossen. Die Umgebung um Maldon ist sehr schön, das Städtchen hat einige schöne kleine Läden und Restaurants. Den Kindern hat besonders der Promenade Park gut gefallen. Da wir mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln unterwegs waren, empfanden wir die Reise nach London etwas umständlich und lang. Einen Tag verbrachten wir am Meer in Clacton on Sea, was für uns Schweizer auf jeden Fall ein Highlight war.

Sandy was there to meet us on arrival which was really lovely. She couldn’t do enough for us and we felt welcome. She was contactable at all times. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen area was perfect for us and had all we needed for a comfortable weekend. The bed was huge and really comfortable. The cabin was warm and the heating was easy to adjust. It was private and very quiet. Very safe and secure. It’s a really beautiful location and if we are in the area again we’d definitely try and book a slot with Sandy.

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

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.

Fantastic lodge, just as described, spotlessly clean, everything you could need. Ideally located to visit Maldon, Burnham, Leigh on sea etc. Good choice of country inns and cafes. Would definately stay again.

Extremely clean. Sauces etc in kitchen was unexpected and a very nice touch . Ditto Extra duvets, pillows in wardrobes. Shampoo etc in bathroom. Single beds very comfy. Double bed has a firm mattress. Very nice stay. Would definitely stay here again
