Made by hand, mostly ours

We renovated Marina Beach House in 2022 with the help of family, countless YouTube tutorials and Amandeep's architecture background — trawling East Sussex's second-hand shops for furniture, keeping what was already beautiful, and heating it all as gently as we could.

In their own words.

★★★★★

“This is my second time booking this Airbnb. The first was to surprise my girlfriend for her birthday and she absolutely adored the place. Now this second time I used this space to also propose to my now fiancé. Because for me nowhere else made sense.”
Moshood

★★★★★

“Marina Beach House was as stunning in the flesh: drenched in natural sunlight, fresh colourful interiors and full of books and games and comfy seats to enjoy them in. Our favourite part of the weekend, however, was definitely coming back to THAT VIEW.”
Emilie

★★★★★

“All the furniture, equipment and decorative items have been chosen with skill, consideration and love for detail. For the library alone one could stay on for months, but time for reading is sparse with the beach calling for endless strolls…”
Dirk-Ulf

★★★★★

“Couldn't have dreamt of a more tranquil and relaxing UK staycation. Sunrise AND sunset sea views from the stunningly designed living space. The sea views are breathtaking in the sunshine or during a storm.”
Nyamoi

★★★★★

“The front living room & kitchen is such a wonderful space with great views. We came to explore Hastings and surrounds yet found ourselves just wanting to hang around and enjoy the apartment!”
Rowan

★★★★★

“The view from the window made this one of my all time favourite Airbnb's. Would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone who loves to look out to sea over their breakfast.”
Gavin

★★★★★

“It is particularly spectacular in the morning and we were lucky enough to have perfect sunshine when we took the short stroll to the beach and braved the water. The bedrooms are at the back of the building so we slept very peacefully and couldn't hear the road.”
