Vacation rentals with beach access in Suffolk

Lovely apartment in Southwold, even better than the photos! Peaceful, clean, cosy and exactly what we needed. Very easy to find and park - we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again and recommend to our friends & family!

Absolutely great location. Property to the rear of North Parade under the lighthouse. Literally a stones through from Adnams Brewery and 1 minute walk from the beach and promenade. Jane Elizabeth is a wonderful host. Thank you

We were absolutely delighted with Port Side! Everything about it was a delight; clean, spacious and very homely. It was exactly as described and the location couldn’t have been better, just a two minute walk to the plentiful parking in York Road and 5 minutes walk to the beach. Our girls (5 & 7) are already asking when we can go back. Huge thanks to Vicky, a fab host!

Our second stay at the Old School Rooms. We were impressed the first time (April 2025) and just so on this visit (May 2025). It so comfortable you immediately feel at home. Everything available that you may need. Judith an excellent host, always responds promptly and very helpful. We would have no hesitation in recommending.

Our second stay in this beautiful apartment. We will most certainly be back again, which really says it all! The location is superb and the apartment is gorgeous, comfortable and really homely. We love it! Thank you so much for a lovely stay.

This place is amazing. The apartment is cosy, the space is big and the bathroom and kitchen is beautiful. Perfect space and quiet. It’s private as well. It’s right opposite the sea. Right next to food places. About a 20 minutes drive to Great Yarmouth and 10 minutes to Africa Alive so was a perfect spot. There was lots of street parking directly outside the place. We absolutely loved our stay and Jane responded to our queries super quick. Would definitely be back and recommend to others.

A gem of an appartement in a great location despite the fact that the glorious past of the building is, well... in the past! The appartement is light and well appointed and has fascinating views of the industrial port and the town below.

Beautiful apartment in a very peaceful setting. Surprisingly spacious and we were very grateful for the little touches of wine, croissants and toiletries. The hosts were so helpful with recommendations and swift with replies. The bed was comfortable and the balcony was just gorgeous. Thank you so much! Couldn’t recommend this stay more.

We had a truly wonderful stay at Storm Cottage. Full of character, warmth, and everything you need for a relaxing coastal escape. The location is great, just steps from the beach and within walking distance of local gems like the chippy and family pub. The cottage itself is clearly a much-loved family home, not a sterile rental, and that’s exactly what makes it so special. From the well-stocked kitchen to the books, piano and projector setup, everything is there to make you feel at home. It’s worth reading the listing closely, it’s honest and accurate. If you’re looking for a pristine hotel-like experience with everything neatly tucked away, this may not be for you. But if you appreciate a soulful, creative space with lots of thoughtful touches, you’ll love it. Communication with Steve was excellent, friendly, responsive, and genuinely helpful. We’d love to come back again.

We had a brilliant stay at Laurelie’s place. The house was lovely and had everything that we needed. Great location - very quick walk to the beach and the high street. Easy to park for free on the road just a few metre outside the property. We would highly recommend laurelie’s place and we are hoping to stay there again in the future.

The Mizzen is peaceful, very spacious and extremely well located to enjoy all the many treats Southwold has in store.

We had a lively stay at Helen's, the garden is huge and is fenced (which was handy with a toddler), it has a playground and a small house for kids that our daughter loved. It also has a direct access to a field with two horses that were happy to be pet. The house itself is very large, clean, with a play room and lot of books and boardgames, and a very well equipped kitchen. We felt instantly at home. Helen even gave us spices we had forgotten and needed ro cook a dish. And of course, there was the jaccuzzi! It was the perfect gataway for a long week end. Would 100% recommend!

Really enjoyed our stay at Penny’s. She kindly offered an early check-in which was helpful for our friends particularly. Great location and a comfortable house. She even managed wall-to-wall sunshine.

Sara was an excellent host, very responsive and particularly understanding when I needed to review my booking in terms of the date. The view is outstanding, listening to the sound of the sea was so calming. It was a very quiet location but a short drive to amenities at Lowestoft. The accommodation was very clean and spacious. Nice little touches on arrival and WiFi was welcomed for planning trips out. Overall a fantastic place to sit back and relax. Thank you Sara.

This was our second stay at this wonderful property. The location is amazing and the area is so peaceful. The garden is an absolute sun trap. The property was so clean, the beds are really comfortable, lots of little extras that make it a complete home from home. We are already discussing our next visit, this will be a regular rental for our family, we love it.

Easy walking distance into the centre of town & beach. Property really clean and comfortable.

What a fantastic stay! Kim was very communicative in the booking and check in process. The flat was spotless on arrival and she had left lots of treats for the stay with coffee/tea/condiments/spices. It felt just like a home away from home. The location was fantastic for walking everywhere as it's so close to the train station. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could!

We had a great stay at the apartment in Harwich! Jason, the owner, was really nice and easy to communicate with. The place was spotless and incredibly well-equipped — everything we needed was there. Highly recommend !

We had a lovely weekend getaway at Tim’s place. I booked it very last minute and he was quick to get all the information to me to ensure a smooth entrance to the property. The flat itself is right on the beach with gorgeous views for your morning coffee! The flat is quiet and cosy and has everything you need for a relaxing trip. Thanks guys!

I met what I wanted, peaceful clean with everything working and easy to get to.

Had a lovely two night stay Annetta greated us and showed us around was very lovely, The place was beautiful and quite and very clean and had everything you needed and the hot tub was a added luxury, loved waking up and walking outside and seeing the horses. My partner feel in love with Daisey the cat she likes to come and greet u also 😀 We would definitely come and stay again 😀

Fantastic apartment. Great location with views of sea and lighthouse. Plenty of space & found it very relaxing to unwind and a long day exploring. Would highly recommend.

Just back from our second stay and again we loved it. Right in the middle of the main street of Southwold it is perfectly placed and has everything we needed. Thank you Kay!

Lovely seafront location with fantastic views over the beach and sea. Less than five minutes' walk to the town centre. Accommodation was welcoming and beautifully presented.
