Vakantiewoningen met buitenterras in Colchester

This was my first booking with Airbnb so I didnt really know what to expect but Mel has certainly set the standard. She is a friendly, helpful, honest, and incredibly responsive host. The house was exactly as described and the quiet location was perfect for us. We'll definitely stay again when we return to Mersea Island, which was beautiful too!

Lovely warm house, with easy instructions before arrival. There were three double bedrooms which were all comfortable. Large kitchen and the garden was enjoyed by the children. The house was great for the family and a short drive to city centre. We enjoyed the local parks. The shower was lovely! The bedroom TV did not work - not an issue for us but just for others who may have expected it. Just not tuned in.

We had an amazing stay at Kathryn’s and would definitely recommend. It was a perfect space for the whole family with all the amenities we needed plus was a walkable distance from town. Kathryn communicated promptly before and during our stay and recommended some lovely spots to visit in the town

This was an absolutely perfect stay. The house is enormous yet homely, beautifully appointed and with the most breathtaking views. The pool and spa are an added bonus and the path down to the beach / estuary is gorgeous. All in all an absolutely fabulous place and we will be back. Thank you xxx

nice home and a great host

A really lovely location with stunning views across the estuary- we enjoyed being on the deck outside and in the hot tub which was preheated for our arrival. The host very kindly texted once the cleaning had finished which meant we were able to access the house earlier than advertised. We stayed for 2 nights so didn't have much luggage - you have to stop on a pavement (double-yellow) and walk stuff down the path then find somewhere else to park. Even though it was Good Friday and Leigh was very busy, we found free street parking a minute's walk away and left the car there for the duration. The house and outside were in good shape, maybe a few things need neatening up to bring it to high-spec but it feels like somebody's home which is actually quite nice. Quiet location (amazingly you cannot hear the road from the house) and the trains didn't bother us! We slept very well (our eldest daughter took advantage of the supplied eyemask as she was on the sofabed - no curtains there!). Thanks!

Second time here, nice peaceful and quiet area no to busy for location.

Absolutely perfect stay in a beautiful area. The house was spotless and even bigger than the photos show! It was perfect for 4 adults and my 16 month old daughter. Stuart sent great instructions through and loads of information about the local area, although we actually loved the house and grounds so much that we didn’t venture any further - we had a lovely few relaxing days in the house and walks around the woodland. My daughter even got to feed the goats. Will definitely come back, and will do a summer visit too as the pool looked beautiful.

Good accommodation in a beautiful area, very quiet, perfect for a " getaway." Accommodation was very clean.

Sea View is a comfortable flat which is in a perfect location for visiting family in the Southend area or exploring this part of Essex. The flat has a lovely view across to the River Thames estuary. The flat has two bedrooms with comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen, a clean bathroom with hot shower and a comfortable lounge / dinning room. The flat is well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. There is parking for a small car with off road free parking for something bigger. The flat is easy to access with clear instructions for the key pad and with using the heating etc. The flat is in a good location for many tourist attractions in the area and within walking distance of local shops, pubs and the shore line. Trevor is a very helpful host who provided lots of information and advice prior to our visit. He was very understanding when we reported an minor accident to a furnishing and we resolved the issue amicably. Thanks Trevor and our apologies.

We stayed for a whole week at Janine's studio around our Daughter's Wedding day. It was really lovely to have such a private and quiet base to come back to, after meeting during the days with lots of family members! The studio was exactly as described; it felt warm and inviting, was beautifully set out, and had all we needed to make some simple meals, store food in the fridge, for packed lunches etc. We loved the view into the fields and woods and we enjoyed watching deer several times in the early morning and evenings too! Janine was easy to contact and responded to our messages straight away. We would definitely recommend Janine's studio to other couples for a peaceful getaway place!

Teresa was very helpful and friendly. The accommodation is small but Teresa has thought of everything to make the stay comfortable. Nice surprise to have a great continental breakfast. Also good to have a Miller and Carter restaurant opposite. Good wi-fi. Quiet. Would definitely recommend this studio flat. Location is good for access to Ipswich and A12/A14. Teresa is definitely a superhost.

Clean and well organised space, with nice personal touches! My gf and I sincerely appreciated Heidi’s responsiveness and attentiveness! Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a short stay in Southend!

Great location and parking for the airport. Warm and comfortable. Quiet and perfect to get a good rest before an early start. One of the best hosts ever at communication and went above and beyond to help out including booking a taxi when he couldn’t do the transfer and reducing the parking accordingly.

We had a great stay, the accommodation had everything you need and was very clean and warm, there was also some provisions left for breakfast. Set in a lovely location, we did not get to meet Viv but Richard was very nice and helpful. Will definitely go back, thank you for a lovely stay.

We enjoyed our 3-night stay at Helen's place. The garden is beautiful and Helen and her partner were friendly and welcoming. The accomodation is well-equipped and we were provided with many thoughtful & welcome extras. It was nice to meet their friendly and well- behaved border terriers.; lovely looking, characterful dogs. All in all a pleasant stay, thank you.

Wow! it's the easiest way to describe our whole stay. The apartment was fantastic, from the moment you stepped in, it felt like home. A place to unwind and relax. Everything is placed in such a lovely way that it feels like you put it there yourself it genuinely felt like our own home. The view from the balcony was incredible. Being able to sit there and drink a coffee looking out over the ocean was amazing. We really enjoyed our stay here and would love to come back again for another get away!! Thank you to Mark and Maxine for hosting such a fabulous apartment!

Sam’s place is at a fantastic location with everything within a short walk. The bed was probably the comfiest I have ever slept in. The place was spacious and stylish and had everything we needed. Would stay again and would recommend!

Great location for us visiting family nearby. Little peace of paradise. Tucked away overlooking a beautiful garden. Carole was a great host, cottage was very welcoming. Clean, warm and cosy. We only stayed one night sadly but could have easily stayed longer. Slept so well in the comfy bed. Would definitely book again.

Had a great stay at Katy’s space. Everything was clean, comfortable and matched the description and we enjoyed the goodies Katy stocked the kitchen with to get us going! Great location - very close to everything we needed. If I was ever in Walton or Essex again would be happy to stay again. Communicating with Katy was very easy and she was happy to help with any questions!

Our stay at Pond View was peaceful and relaxing. Access to the site was easy but secure. The accommodation was just right. And Christopher was a great host.

We had a wonderful long Easter weekend at this apartment, booked easily even though it was very last minute due to being let down by another owner. Thank you to Caroline for being so helpful and super responsive. The location is perfect to explore Felixstowe on foot and it’s handy having private off-road parking. We played mini-golf, ate out at some great spots, used the huge park down the road, went to the arcades on the pier and swam at the leisure centre just across the road. The space is beautiful, spacious, clean and we had everything that we needed, and more. Clear instructions and helpful information on the pre-arrival details too. Our daughters didn’t want to leave! We’d love to return again.

Just a lovely, cosy nest. Immaculate and peaceful. Very comfortable bed and I’d be delighted to stay there again.

Wow! What a great find, I will definitely be back. Came here for some me time and to relax and the penthouse apartment was perfection! Samantha is an amazing host, so helpful and quick to respond to messages and gave some great recommendations for local places to eat. The apartment itself is spotless and SO comfortable and the added touches like milk, juice, jams, biscuits and ice creams made me feel so comfortable and at home as soon as I walked through the door! The whole apartment is so well equipped and the view from the living room, well I could stare at that forever! Thank you!! I will be back one day and I’m already looking forward to it!
