Holiday rentals with beach access in Southsea

Felt right at home in this homely, quiet and spacious flat right on Southsea Common. Great location, just a 3 minute walk from Palmerston Road with a host of great pubs and restaurants and of course a small walk to the sea. Facilities were modern, clean and intuitive to use. Comfortable bed, spacious wardrobe. Really was fantastic!

Feels like you’re right on the beach. Fantastic views as per the photos. Warm cosy flat well equipped with lots of eateries very close. Keen to return. Not cheap for 2 people

Great place to stay in West Cowes. Location is perfect- really close to the restaurants and bars. The beach and shops are also a short walk away. David was very responsive and helpful. We had a great time and hope to be able to stay again

Excellent little gem, we come up here for the weekend, host was super accomodating, we loved the place and already made plans to come back at some point soon. Home away from home ❤️

Great apartment with views of the bay of Portsmouth. Perfect location as it’s right opposite to Gunwharf outlet shopping.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Keely's. The apartment is just beautiful, with an amazing view to the sea. Keely and Julie were great hosts, very accommodating and understanding. Everything was very clean. Location was great for strolling along the beach and accessing downtown Ryde.

Loved the apartment. Great location and very well presented accommodation. Katarina was an excellent host and provided clear and helpful instructions. The welcome basket was appreciated. Thank you 🤩

Great stay at Sam’s place! Mesmerising views. Lovely walks. Would highly recommend.

James was good at communicating, and left clear instructions for everything. He also met us on arrival. The bungalow was as per the description and photos (please note that bed 3-twin room has drawer clothes storage but no hanging space). It's clean, light and airy. The bungalow was in a quiet location and yet close to amenities and a short walk to the beach. We had 3 cars between us and were easily able to fit them on the driveway. We would happily return!" I can't think of anything else that any potential guest would need to know above the information on Airbnb and reviews already left.

Sarah’s house is perfect for a stay at the Witterings. Located a few mins walk to the beach and close to other area such as Itchenor and Bosham. We stayed as a family with young kids and it had everything we needed, from the games room to the garden. It was a bit rainy when we stayed , but that didn’t stop us venturing out. I can imagine in the summer, the house would be even more perfect. Sarah was super helpful too. The house looks even nicer than the pictures.

Beautiful house inside and out. Excellent attention to detail (quality finishes, linen, fresh flowers on arrival). Really helpful welcome pack and welcoming/accessible communications from host/local contact. Great utilities: aga, double dishwasher/fridge freezers, utility room, integrated speakers, log fire. Thank you, we made some lovely memories here.

Great property in a great location. House was as pictured and well kept. Great for larger group. Sarah, the host, was very responsive and quickly answered any questions. Very comfortable house and the underfloor heating was amazing. This spoiled my wife a little and we may have to look into getting some. House was always warm and it was cold outside. Kitchen was well stocked and the welcome goodies were lovely and thoughtful. Will definitely use again when going to the Isle of Wight. A lovely stay. Thank you Sarah.

What a wonderful house , we thoroughly enjoyed our stay . My wife and two young boys loved everything about the house .

Beautiful house, the large dining table and upstairs sitting room meant it was great for spending time with family. Thoughtful little extras like fresh milk in the fridge, and useful things like dishwasher tablets in the kitchen meant we didn’t have to go out and get everything for a 3-night stay. We felt like we were staying with friends!

Mark's place is a well laid out light and airy place. It is in a perfect spot to enjoy the beach and we look forward to returning in the summer.

We had a lovely stay, the house is perfect for family get togethers being open plan and is very well equipped (plenty of crockery, cooking stuff etc). The location is amazing, with direct beach access from the garden and amazing views out to sea. Would definitely recommend

Location is fantastic, close to bus, great little Co-op, Nick very responsive and patient with us. It's a very secure and safe flat. Found a perfect pub, The Florence for a smash-up Sunday dinner, it's on Florence street. The flat was very roomy, well kitted kitchen which we didn't use because we ate out. The view of the ocean was better than watching tv. We came during a stormy week and had a wonderful time. This is a good spot to do daytrips to Chichester and Winchester and of course Portsmouth is full of things to see even in a rainstorm. A fantastic stay.

Way beyond expectations - we felt like we could've had a holiday based here rather than just stopping a couple of nights. Patsy was communicative and helpful, the place is so thoughtfully designed and beautifully presented, and the location couldn't be better. The best stay we've had on the island, no doubt.

Great place to stay very private

Alison's flat was lovely, clean and easy to keep warm, we had a lovely few days and had very nice walks on the beach.

Great apartment! We have stayed in many coastal areas and this apartment was lovely. It is spacious, light and well presented. Amazing views out to sea and you can listen to the waves from your bed! The balcony is a plus - a great spot to sit and watch the world go by. The apartment is ideal for local Southsea bars and restaurants and five-minute cab to Gunwharf Quays or Old Portsmouth (or a longer stroll, whatever suits). There is plenty to do and see. Rain or shine, this is an ideal apartment for a break away - highly recommended!

Excellent service throughout. Fantastic host. Looking forward to staying at the apartment in June. My partner and I would highly recommend staying here. Many thanks Paula and Jael,

Gorgeous place to spend a few days away from London. We travelled by train and it was fab that there’s a bus from Chichester Station which stops a few minutes from the apartment. We were lucky to be there on a sunny weekend & it was so lovely to spend the day walking along the beach and not need a car to get there! We loved the books & games in the apartment and the fact that a lot of love & care has clearly gone into making the place the way it is. Like other reviews have said it’s so well kitted out with anything you may need and unlike our own flat there is seemingly not one IKEA product in sight! Communication through the booking process was easy and friendly and the info in the welcome folder is clear and helpful. Definitely recommend a stay here! We would love to come back and next time bring our swimming stuff to get in the sea then the sauna on the beach!

We had an amazing time here. The flat was absolutely perfect for our family. The girls loved the bunk beds. All the little extras that were included were really thoughtful and extremely helpful. Location super central for everything Portsmouth and Southsea has to offer. Really comfortable and clean. We feel like we found an absolute gem - we will definitely be back to stay again.
