Best Airbnbs In Southsea

Southsea is one of the best places in Portsmouth to go exploring. With great views across to the Isle of Wight, the waterfront area of Portsmouth has amazing local eateries, cool bars and amazing beaches.

With amazing culture and history, Southsea is the perfect spot for a weekend trip to the coast. And what better way to see the sights of Southsea than in one of the areas stunning Airbnb’s?

Southsea has many great Airbnb places to stay, so we decided to have a look at 5 of the best options you can book this year.

Let’s get into it and take a look at the 5 best Airbnb’s in Southsea.

1. Seafront Apartment With Private Roof Terrace

With most of the Airbnb’s on our list, the main attraction is around the fact that they offer a beautiful sea view. This newly decorated 2-bed beachfront apartment is no different.

Just a short walk from the Victorian pier and minutes from the heart of a lively Southsea. The apartment comes complete with two double beds and a family-sized bathroom, perfect for a couples weekend away to the South Coast.

What I really love about this Airbnb is the private terrace. There’s no better way to end a busy day of exploring than with a glass of something, sitting up on the roof terrace watching the sun go down. Whilst also taking in the great views out to sea and to the nearby Isle of Wight.

The apartment also comes with parking for one car and a washing machine to wash your things after a day at the beach.

One thing to mention about this property is its Victorian heritage. Like many properties in the area, they have been built quite high with multiple floors. As a result, getting to this Airbnb requires walking 4 flights of stairs with no lift. But don’t worry, the views once you get up there are 100% worth it.

2. Royal Victorian Cottage

Next up we’ve got a brilliant family cottage with a rich history, in the heart of Southsea which is perfect for a short trip or a longer holiday by the beach.

Experience the charm of Alexandra Cottage, a stunning family home with a fascinating history. Originally known as the “Queen Alexandra’ Public House, this 1830s gem is nestled in vibrant Southsea, just a short stroll across the common to the sparkling sea.

Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere, surrounded by independent shops and tantalizing restaurants, while the Isle of Wight Hovercraft awaits a mere 5 minutes away. Staying at this cottage makes it super easy to explore Portsmouth’s rich heritage, as the Historic Dockyard, HMS Victory, and The Mary Rose are all within a 20-minute walk.

The spacious three-story home boasts a delightful roof terrace and parking, plus its own unique charm. With three double bedrooms and the flexibility to accommodate a children’s room, there’s ample space for everyone.

This quaint Southsea cottage is steeped in history and makes for an ideal place to stay to enjoy the local area.

3. Large House With Home Cinema

There’s not many places in Southsea which can sleep up to 10 guests, however, this spacious 4-bedroom home next to the beach does exactly that.

Just 5 minutes from Southsea beach, this modern vintage decor home comes complete with its own cinema/games room, plus table tennis and darts in the carport.

If you’re bringing cars, the house also has space for three cars to park, making this an ideal spot for a family trip away.

The central location means you’re literally minutes walking distance from most of the top attractions that Southsea has to offer, including 5 minutes to the amusements on South Parade Pier and 4 minutes to the Model Village.

With a south-facing balcony, you can choose to enjoy the morning sunshine with a homemade coffee or soak up the evening rays with a drink in hand.

This really is a great Airbnb in Southsea for larger groups, focused around family.
