Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in The Solent

Orchard Barn Spa is a peaceful retreat for those looking to escape the city. We stayed there with our four month old and Chris was very accommodating, providing a baby bath etc. It provides the perfect base to explore all that the new forest has to offer, has ample parking space, is very clean and sits in a private plot. Thanks again Chris for a great stay and for your great communication throughout our trip.

Wonderful house in a terrific, peaceful location. The house and gardens are idyllic, and we loved spending time in the hedged gardens in the evening sun after playing tennis. The house is within easy access of all the best landmarks of the New Forest and also bang on the coast. The interior of the house has great style and charm and is a great place to spend time in.

We had a great time staying here for our family celebration. The house and garden are well equipped. Good location, especially for evening walks to see amazing sunsets. Sarah was so helpful accommodating our requests and recommending local places to eat. This is such a good starting point for visits around the island.

Bright , clean & modernly decorated house( photos in listing don’t do it justice. Was pleasantly surprised) A great base with Lake beach at the end of the street, may be inaccessible to some with mobility issues as has a steep slope and some steps at the bottom but we found it fine and walked from there to Sandown and Shanklin. Would use again if visiting Isle of Wight

Beautiful home, well equipped with lots of space. Access to a quiet beach and Kate is an incredible host.

I had such a lovely stay at this charming home by the Southsea coast! The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to the seafront, with easy access to the pier, local cafes, and beautiful coastal walks. The house itself was cosy, clean, and beautifully styled, with thoughtful touches throughout that made it feel like a home away from home. The bed was super comfortable, the kitchen was well-equipped, and the little garden out back was perfect for a morning coffee or evening wine. Communication with Steph was excellent from start to finish—they were friendly, responsive, and made check-in a breeze.

A wonderful little place in the most beautiful location. The Lodge was clean and comfortable with everything you could need for a pleasant stay. We spent a week here while one of us walked the South Downs Way and the other one relaxed. In between, we visited local beauty spots and some of the excellent restaurants nearby. In the evenings we relaxed with the patio doors thrown wide open as the ever present sun slowly set. Blissful.

Beautiful location on the edge of the beach. Amazing view from sitting room and main bedroom. Light and airy house with all amenities and more. Debby answered all queries immediately. Highly recommend.

Stunning! We had a fab few days here and it’s even better than the photos. Walking in and seeing the view takes your breath away. As well as the stunning view the location is great, v central for town, beach, bus, walks, amazing swims and great eateries. When we were there the road next to accom is blocked by rockfall. It meant the road was lovely and quiet(!) but does make it a longer /hilly walk into town. Wasn’t a problem at all but worth knowing in advance. David was a great communicator, flexible and everything you need to know is in the handy welcome guide. Would love to stay again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Fabulous stay. Close to bus stop and walkable to train station (if you don’t have luggage). We especially loved the balcony and marina view. Note that the unit is not air conditioned - there is a large fan that helped air circulation during a warm spell.

A beautifully presented house, very spacious, spotlessly clean and top-end appliances and furniture. Really appreciated the little extras including a lovely bottle of wine. The location at the top of the High Street means a very short walk to shops, restaurants and the sea front - there are a lot of steps though up to the apartment if you have mobility issues. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic holiday. The accommodation was superb in every way. Jemma was fantastic and really helpful. Highly recommend!!!

We liked here very much! Place was clean, Creydi helped us with clear instructions, many recommendations and quick responses. The location is right on point, very close to the beach but also in the heart of the city-party! We also enjoyed a smooth, flexible check-in. Highly recommend, especially that they opened another room nearby, in the same pretty style!

Incredible location, especially if you are a sailor. Constant parade of vessels heading out to the Solent all visible from the patio. Only a few minutes walk from all the restaurants and shops. A delightful small town. Not inexpensive but a very nice apartment with easy parking and entry. Would definitely stay here again.

Really lovely modern apartment, great location and walking distance to shops and beach. Would definately stay again

Chris, is a great host. Very helpful and always responds to messages. A welcome bottle of wine was left in the fridge, along with coffee, tea and biscuits. Ventnor is a beautiful place, with many restaurants. The walks are beautiful. It is also a great base to get around the island, Shanklin is a 15 minute drive The sound of the sea is so relaxing to hear. The flat was clean, like a home from home with all the amenities that you could think of. We hope to return.

Great location to get to lots of various locations, we visited New Forest, Southampton, Portsmouth and walked down to the shingle beach, which was only a ten minute walk! Lovely and clean place, small but not tiny, just enough room for two adults and two small dogs. Everything was a thoughtful touch, from kitchen wear to comfort. Would definitely stay again if I was ever visiting the same area. Jackie was super helpful and very friendly, which is always a bonus. The surrounding area is residential and also partly industrial but noise level was low, which we appreciated. Plenty of space to park your car and close to the train station.

Finn has chosen stylish furniture and decor for this very well equipped holiday home. The photos show all the rooms accurately but the balcony actually has far more comfortable furniture than the photos show., making it a super place to sit and view the coastline. Due to the bay windows , this flat has more far reaching views than other seafront properties we have stayed in. Also, Finn is an attentive host, on hand to solve any issues that may arise. We thoroughly recommend.

Great view over the river, apartment was very clean, modern and secure with keypad entry. Easy walk to restaurants and Spar supermarket nearby. Secure car park, parking space numbers are on the ground with slightly weird numbering system. Excellent entry instructions from the host, just read them properly. It does make the apartment very secure. Definitely a great choice to stay in Southampton.

Great location on the picturesque Military Road. Very spacious rooms and bathrooms; clean and well equipped kitchen. Tranquil place and good feature of video game for teenagers and non. Next time we will try the free sauna!

Katie’s place was an absolute gem. My mum n nephew were visiting us and it was a perfect place to have them spend quality time with us. The place was very clean and had easy access. Thank you Katie!

Fantastic place! This is our second stay at the apartment and delighted with it. Great location and beautiful view from the apartment.

We stayed 3 nights in The Loft and were very happy with the accommodation. Exactly as described, well equipped, comfortable and convenient. There are walks you can do without getting in the car and loads more just a short drive away. The New Forest Inn is easily walkable along the road, we thought it was excellent and ended up going twice as we liked not having to get in the car to go for a meal. We normally go to the New Forest one every couple of years at least and will look to book here again.

This a beautiful bright and very well designed pad - just 3 mins walk from a beach that goes on for miles. It's kept to a very high standards and one of the best Airbnb's I've stayed in for a long time. I would definitely recommend it and we will return
