Waterfront apartment accommodation

Mid-Century Marina Seafront Flat
The apartment is super close to all amenities of central St Leonard’s - restaurants, bars, galleries, shops, cinema, and station all a few minutes’ stroll away. The entrance is tucked away at the back of Marine Court, with glorious sea views from the front living room/kitchen. Super comfy beds and gorgeous bedding made the two quiet bedrooms peaceful spaces to rest and relax in. Whole apartment is stylish and well-equipped and a great base for enjoying St Leonard’s and Hastings.

Beach Apartment
We have just returned home after a week at Beach apartment. The location was ideal, just across the road from the beach & an easy level walk into Hastins. The apartment was spotless & equipped with everything you could need for your stay. Huge windows overlooking the sea made the apartment very light & airy. The view was wonderful being so close to the sea. Communication with Sarah was excellent with any queries we had being answered promptly. There is no parking at the property but we could stop to unload the luggage & Sarah had suggested locations to park which were within 5 minutes walk. We didn't need to pay as plenty of free roadside parking within that 5 minutes walk. Plenty of good place's to eat close by. We found the bus service in the area to be very good & used it for days out to Rye & Eastbourne. Rye is a very pretty town, great for a day out. We had a great holiday & wouldn't hesitate to return to Sara's apartment if we return to Hastins in the future.

Seafront Apartment - Panoramic Views - Beachside 5
Outstanding apartment. Great views and very comfortable. John was extremely helpful, he made sure we knew how to find the property and get in. He checked in with us a couple of times during our stay and was happy to give ideas of what to do and where to go. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay in Eastbourne, definitely hope to come back again.

2 Bed Seafront Terrace Penthouse
Spectacular views of the sea, great location! We had a wonderful stay, and really appreciated the later check out. Very helpful hosts.

Heart of Hastings Old Town wonderful seaside treat
Gorgeous and generous accommodation in Old Hastings, central to great restaurants, independent shops, the beach, and old fishing quarter. The accommodation is beautifully decorated with interesting objects, and feels like home from home. The thoughtful details and numerous provisions made for a great and happy stay. Our thanks to the hosts for the ease or communication and plentiful suggestions and, of course, for the wonderful 'home'. We hope to be back!

Waterfront house rentals

Beach house in Winchelsea Beach, East Sussex
The location of the house is fantastic. The whole house and especially the kitchen is perfectly equipped. Even adapters and USB outlets are present. We would come back anytime.

Funky house perched on the cliff with sea views.
On arrival we were a bit concerned that the driveway and entrance were a bit unkempt but don’t let those first impressions put you off. Once you get inside the house is great and just like the pictures. The open plan kitchen, dining, lounge and conservatory was great for our family weekend away. Even though we didn’t cook, the kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of chairs to sit outside. The view from the top of the garden is amazing. Rebecca was helpful in allowing us a slightly earlier check in and providing taxi numbers to get into Hastings.

The Old Stable
We had a wonderful (albeit brief) stay at Jane’s beautiful home! The space was spotless, stylish, and so comfortable—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The pool was a real highlight, and we’re already looking forward to coming back and making the most of it next time. Unfortunately, we had to leave earlier than planned due to personal reasons, but Jane was incredibly understanding and kind about our situation. She was a fantastic host throughout—thoughtful, responsive, and welcoming. A special thank you for the delicious-looking marmalade waiting for us on arrival! We can’t wait to enjoy it at breakfast. Highly recommend Jane’s place for anyone looking for a peaceful and lovely escape. We hope to return soon!

70s Inspired, 3-Bed Home in Rye with river views
From the moment we stepped inside River House Rye we knew that we had chosen he right place ! A real home from home, but with a unique design that we simply wouldn't dare to do ... such a great place to stay and so easy to explore Rye without moving the car off the very spacious drive ! Globe pub very close by, provided ideal location to eat & refresh as did other places that Helen recommended. Even a little drizzle couldn't spoil our visit .... simply fantastic! We will definitely return 🫶

Beach front home with cosy, coastal interiors.
Spent a lovely and peaceful family weekend at Simone’s place. Upon arriving the Airbnb was very clean and tidy, looked just like the photos with some added personal touches in the kitchen (thank you). A lovely view over the beach which was so much calmer and peaceful in comparison to others beaches further along. 10 minute walk to the high street with some very nice independent shops. Simone was flexible on checkout which was great for us as we had nice weather the weekend we visited. 🙂 Would highly recommend, and I would definitely return!

Great seafront house- Step free access
Cleo was great host, responsive and kind. Excellent location, we loved staying right on the beach. It was nice being in a quiet little town, but having several options nearby that bigger beach towns have available. Our only complaint was the road coming in was pretty rough, but Cleo can’t change that.

Beachfront views of Rye Bay, with EV charger.
The house is stunning, the layout is perfect and was spotless. Level 1 kitchen/lounge/outdoor balcony. Level 2 bedrooms. Level 3 attic room with chairs, binoculars and great views (each level has great views!) We were a group of 4 although if 8, the size and layout would have allowed us to have our own space. The bedrooms, 2 with en-suites, a large family bathroom and all with sea views. Watching sunrise over the ocean and the dawn morning bird chorus transported me to tropical holiday vibes. The house overlooks gardens, bluebells and iris were in bloom. Down the house steps and after about 50 metres you are on the sea wall/beach. Jo and Andrew have been great hosts, great communication prior to our trip and provided a welcome pack of really useful local information, thank you for the snacks and wine. Relaxing on the balcony, watching the ocean and world go by was the perfect way to start the trip. If I ever return to Hastings, first stop would be to try and rebook this AirBNB

Beachfront Bliss at Laughing Water
Great place and great location, close to Rye, the beach and to plenty of farm animals :)
Waterfront condo accommodation

Beautiful 1 bedroom and 1 Mezz bed with sea view
I had a really wonderful 7 weeks and 4 days at Lisa and Lee's first floor apartment in St Leonards-on-Sea, overlooking Warrior Square Gardens, with a lovely sea view from the lounge and balcony. On arrival, Lisa and Lee warmly greeted me and showed me around. Everything was clean and tidy, beautifully decorated, with a very cozy and comfortable feel. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped. The location was perfect, 5 minutes walk to the sea front. A very memorable stay and I'm definately looking forward to returning soon. Thank you both so much for being excellent hosts. Peter

The Lookout Normans Bay . Cosy heated with views.
Peaceful haven of calm and tranquility, with the most friendly and helpful hosts, and what a view! We loved our few days at The Lookout.

Eagles Nest: Heart of Old Town with stunning views
Had a lovely stay! The place was homely and Patrick was great to communicate with!

Panoramic sea views, balcony apartment St Leonards
We had a lovely stay at this lovely 2-bedroom apartment overlooking the sea. The photos were accurate and the view was just as stunning in person. As a family of four, we really appreciated the space—the apartment was very clean, comfortable, and had plenty of room for everyone to relax. The hosts were responsive and helpful, always quick to reply to any messages. Although the weather wasn’t great during our visit, it didn’t take away from the overall experience—if anything, it’s a good excuse to come back and enjoy it again in better weather!

101 St Leonards on Sea
Deborah was incredibly friendly and helpful with any questions I had about the area. Her apartment is beautiful with lovely sea views and was really welcoming and comforting. We had a wee accident with the sofa and Deborah was super understanding and helpful. I couldn’t recommend this flat more! The area is super lovely, lots of independent bars and restaurants and only a 25 min walk from Hastings

Fabulous sea views & relaxing, gorgeous interiors
We had a wonderful stay at Nicola’s flat. The space was beautifully presented and spacious - even more so in real life than the photos show - and was very clean. Nicola was also accommodating with our arrival time and offered great local recommendations. We hope to stay again!

Lovely 1 bedroom beachfront annexe
I had the most wonderful stay in Carla’s beautiful annexe. The location is incredible. Being able to sit at the end of the garden in the mornings watching the sea was so wonderful. It was just so peaceful and tranquil and was exactly what I needed! Plus you can be on the beach in 2 mins. The Annexe itself was absolutely perfect, spotlessly clean and no details had been overlooked. Really comfy sofa and bed and beautifully furnished. Carla was a wonderful host and nothing was too much trouble. All in all this was a perfect stay for a short break away from the business of life. I would definitely return when I am looking for some time to myself. Thank you so much Carla for your hospitality 🙏🏻🥰

Arty Seaview apartment
Richard was a wonderful host - so helpful and responsive and gave us lots of recommendations. We had a really fantastic stay. The flat was bigger than anticipated! Definitely would recommend if you’re looking to do the Seven Sisters hike! Thank you Richard :)
