7. Self-contained modern apartment with a hot tub (from USD 122)
Best for: Families with kids, couples
This apartment will make you feel right at home. Decorated with a modern style, the apartment is perfect for families with kids. The apartment comes with two beds, a bathroom, a large open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area as well as a private patio area where you can have a barbeque. When you want to relax, you can do so in the living room that is equipped with a large sofa or on the patio. The kitchen itself is fully equipped with oven, toaster, fridge, cooking utensils and crockery. There is also a beautiful hot tub here.
As for places to go, it is a 20-minute walk to a coffee shop, but there is a beautiful little butterfly trail, which I think makes the walk worthwhile. The property is quiet despite being near a busy street. Finally, there are not one, but two markets a short drive away.

9. Cozy wooden cabin called the Magic Cottage (from USD 142)
Best for: Pet parents, couples, families
This holiday rental in Southampton is natural and beautiful. Situated in the peaceful walled garden, the cabin comes with a bedroom and a bathroom as well as a seating area that is equipped with a sofa, coffee table and TV. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is a barbeque on the deck. When you want to enjoy the sunshine in the morning, simply open up all doors so that the light can come through. Or, head to the terrace and enjoy the nice and warm weather. On chilly nights, I recommend snuggling by the wood-burning stove-style electric heater in the cabin. There are a couple of pubs and cafes nearby. As an added bonus here is that the hosts also run a kitesurfing school, so this is a good place to come and stay for a kitesurfing break or course.

Whether you want to visit the parks, the restaurants or the shops, they are all within walking distance. The station is also a quick walk, which is even quicker when the weather is nice, in other words no snow.

What’s more, the apartment boasts its massive balcony with seating area, which is a perfect place to relax!!

13. Light and airy dwelling with great location (from USD 74)
Best for: Couples, solo travelers, budget travelers
Perfectly tucked away in a tranquil location, this first-floor apartment will spoil you with a relaxing setting. However, you’ll still be essentially within walking distance of the shopping scene in the town center and the wining and dining landscape in Bedford Place. The city’s various Universities are also near the property.
This dwelling feels light and airy, for which I’d give credit to the open layout and large doors and windows. During your stay, you’ll get to have a living area with a flat-screen TV and a fold-away dining table. Wi-Fi is available for you to always be connected to the virtual world. Keep in mind that on-site parking is unavailable but you can park your car along Archers Road for free at any time of the day.

There are two free parking spaces and an electric vehicle charger provided here.
The rental offers a reliable Wi-Fi connection and a workspace so you can attend work calls. Need a break from work? I’d suggest making a hot cuppa using the Nespresso machine and enjoying it on the couch.

17. Plush superyacht on Ocean Village Marina (from USD 316)
Best for: Luxury travelers, outdoor enthusiasts, families, group stays, beach lovers
This luxurious moored superyacht promises a unique vacation. It’s right on the water, so you can enjoy bay views all day long. I think the best place to admire the views from is the top deck, which features plush seating, speakers, and lights. You can also sunbathe on the bow area or lounge on the leather sofas indoors.
Although the yacht comes with a full kitchen, you don’t need to cook if you don’t want to. There are many restaurants you can walk to. You’ll also find a spa within walking distance!

18. Family-friendly retreat with a charming courtyard (from USD 224)
Best for: Nature lovers, families with kids and infants, workationers, couples
This family-friendly rental welcomes nature lovers and those who love walking around new destinations. I feel the highlight of this home is its lovely courtyard. It features a cozy dining/working area, glittering fairy lights, and a burst of green shrubs complementing the light brown fencing. The interiors are equally appealing, with subtle but pleasant decor and well-lit spaces.
The home is suitable for families with kids. Cribs, children’s tableware, and other useful amenities are available here. For extended stays, the free washer in the rental will come in handy. You can also schedule a cleaning service during your stay.

20. Ocean Village apartment with views of the marina
Best for: Luxury travelers, couples
If you’ve come all the way to Southampton for its spectacular views, I’d say there’s no better place to stay than this two-person apartment hosted by Chris. The property is located in the Ocean Village, and the living room features unobstructed views of the marina. The decor inside the open-concept living and kitchen space is minimal, but the million-dollar view of the water completely makes up for it. This rental is actually the host’s own home, and on the times that he is on business travel, he rents out the place. Don’t miss the opportunity of staying in a prestigious property, and get your hands on this Airbnb now!

Your indoor stays will be as comfortable as you can expect since this rental is equipped with every essential, including a well-equipped kitchen. Its living room has a 50-inch flat-screen TV and Wi-Fi so you’re highly entertained. Overnight slumbers are covered by the unit’s double-size mattress and single-size sofa bed. To unwind, I’d suggest spending time in the fenced rear garden with a table and chairs.

This accommodation is a lovely room, which is part of a townhouse in the city center that features a bedroom, shared bathroom, kitchen, and laundry facility. You may meet two friendly cats and a small dog who live here, which I’m sure animal lovers will be excited about.

26. A large private room near the city center
Best for: Budget travelers, couples, solo travelers
This accommodation is an excellent choice for those who are looking for budget accommodation in Southampton. The facilities offered by the accommodation are very basic, which include a bedroom and a shared bathroom. You are not granted access to the kitchen and other facilities of the house. The property is about a 10-minute walk to Southampton central station. And, it is a quick walk to the city center and Southhampton’s best attractions. The interesting thing about this rental is that the host, Lucy, donates some money to the Save the Children charity. When you book a room here you are supporting a great charity.

It is also complete with all the usual things you’ll find at your own home and more, such as a cozy sitting area, a modern kitchen with dining, and a private bathroom. Additionally, it has two roof terraces with outdoor seating and an amazing view of the city and the water.

29. Luxurious apartment within city center
Best for: Solo travelers, couples, luxury travelers
Urban luxury awaits at this prime apartment housed in a centrally located boutique condominium building. It’s a rare find for accommodation in the center of Southampton City Center as it showcases its very own courtyard and balcony, perfect for catching the morning sun and enjoying simple open-air activities.
Inside the unit is an entertainment den filled with modern diversions such as fast Wi-Fi, Apple TV, 65-inch cable HDTV, Bluetooth sound system, and a video game console. If your speed leans towards traditional fun, you can keep yourself busy with the available board games. The bedroom with a deluxe king-size bed allows you to wake up to city views but nothing beats the panoramic vistas from the rooftop terrace.

30. The Old Stables
Best for: Families with infants, couples
This period apartment’s name, The Old Stables, is reminiscent of its roots as a former Georgian shop along Canton Street. It has been refurbished to a high standard and is now a stylish rental that includes contemporary touches including flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and coffee machines. You can also be your own chef in its modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and cookware. I’d recommend this rental to couples or small families, as it’s equipped with a double-size bed, a sofa bed, and a travel crib as sleeping arrangements.
Moreover, there is a great advantage that comes with the apartment’s location. The residential street where it is tucked is just moments away from Bedford Place, which is brimming with shops, bars, and restaurants.

31. Top-floor penthouse in a Victorian building
Best for: Pet parents, solo travelers, couples, budget travelers
Take in the charm and elegance of the lively Oxford Street from this penthouse unit atop a historic Victorian-style building. You can admire the street views from the dining area’s floor-to-ceiling bay window or the balcony equipped with a grill and seating. The open-plan living area with a 32-inch flat-screen TV, fireplace, and Wi-Fi makes the already spacious rental appear roomier. In the separate bedroom, a snug double-size bed awaits your arrival. You’ll also love that this accommodation welcomes furry family members and comes with a dedicated parking space.
The sought-after location is an ideal gateway to several nearby hotspots including Southampton High Street, Ocean Village Leisure, and West Quay Shopping and Food Center. I think it’s also an idyllic spot for a holiday cruise as it is close to the terminals.
