At Beaches Guest House, guests praise Jo and Buzz's warm, attentive hospitality, spotless and stylish sea-view rooms, and a tasty, varied breakfast, while noting the seafront, walkable location and that on-street parking can sometimes be hard to find.
A few reviews mention the breakfast avoids a traditional fry-up and occasional room quirks like a small shower, light-leaking blinds, or a firm bed. Guests appreciate thoughtful touches such as quality toiletries, an honesty fridge and water cooler, and takeaway options when leaving early. Overall, expect a warmly hosted, detail-focused stay in a tasteful independent guesthouse.

The couple running this guesthouse make every effort to ensure you have an amazing stay. The room we stayed in was well proportioned, with large shower room, and balcony with sea view. There were all the ‘products’ you could want, and all of very high quality. The breakfast is lovingly cooked presented by Jo. She does the best poached eggs, and we had them served in a variety of ways.

Away from amusements of Southend which was perfect for our 2 night stay. Warm welcome from Buz and lovely room with a balcony with great view. Lovely touch having a water cooler as you come in so you can always have bottle of nice cool water to take to your room. Jo and Buz made us feel very welcome and we would definitely recommend The Beaches to anyone!

Lovely room. Easy access. Proper Hot water and heating unlike many places these days which was a Godsend. Lovely breakfast room and the whole place beautifully clean. 24 hour soft drinks and snacks available which meant my 3am snack fest eliminated my hangover. Thanks Jo & Buzz! See you next time :)

Excelled our expectations on every level. From check in, everything explained, even down to the honesty box fridge, and local restaurant options, room 8, with sea view balcony, all clean tidy and comfortable. Breakfast saw so many happy obliging staff. A nice walkable distance to the pier on the lovely weather day we have had. A lovely guest house in every way, we had a great stay

Great place in a very nice location n the esplanade and very nice hosts. The rooms are very nicely furnished, modern bathroom and all very clean. Very nice place for breakfast with excellent food. Parking could be a little tricky to find a place on the street in front, but there is a parking behind the buildings in front that serves multiple properties.

What a fantastic find! Such a lovely Guest House. So much attention to detail - environmentally aware, very clean and fresh, lovely friendly staff. The toiletries were gorgeous - I particularly loved that the packaging was printed using natural products. And, breakfast was beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious, in a beautiful, bright breakfast room and garden. Excellent all round. I can't wait to go back.

Excellent stay with extremely hospitable hosts. The guest house was fresh, clean and tidy - best I’ve stayed in! Check-in was easy, quick and friendly. Had to ask for directions for evening dining and entertainment then was recommended takeaways and restaurants nearby and a pub nearby which were perfect. Breakfast next morning was delicious - they even laid the table outside for me as the weather was so good. 11/10!

Just returned from an excellent stay at the Beaches Guesthouse and would definitely return. Warm welcome and friendly service from Jo and Buzz throughout our stay. Room 10 was spacious, nicely decorated, spotlessly clean, and featured a good sized ensuite. The room could be improved by replacing the blind such that it blocks out all light in the mornings. Breakfast was included with a range of cereals, etc. on offer and a cooked breakfast which extended to things like Eggs Benedict, Salmon, Croissant with Cheese and Ham, etc. but unfortunately none of the more traditional offerings, like Bacon. Location: pretty good with nearby free parking, a short walk to parks, pubs, shops, and cafes, and about a 30 minute walk to the pier.

We booked a short stay while visiting the Cliffs Pavillion Theatre. As soon as you arrive and see how pretty, well decorated and clean and tidy the place is, you understand why it is so highly rated and reviewed. The view was excellent and there was very little road noise, the room was beautifull and they have thought of everything you could need. We loved the breakfast in the morning and Jo and Buzz were wonderful throughout! We look forward to staying again and can thoroughly recommend it to others.

Jo and Buzz were brilliant! I was coming in from Heathrow and got delayed due to the traffic and bad weather, but Jo and Buzz were very patient and waited for me to check-in. The solo room I booked was adequate for one person. However, the shower was tiny even for an Asian woman like me, could hardly scrub my back 😅

Our room was very clean, the bed was very comfy and the sea view and balcon was lovely. I have a food allergy and Jo went above and beyond to cater for me with plenty of choice. I even had my own biscuits in the room according to my needs. Breakfast was delicious and very well made and presented. Lovely options as well. Thankyou for a delightful stay, and for our lovely chats. We would definitely stay again xx

Seafront setting in a quieter area, with sea views and an easy walk to the pier and town attractions. Guests liked being close to parks, pubs, and cafes while staying away from the busiest amusements.

Away from amusements of Southend which was perfect for our 2 night stay. Warm welcome from Buz and lovely room with a balcony with great view. Lovely touch having a water cooler as you come in so you can always have bottle of nice cool water to take to your room. Jo and Buz made us feel very welcome and we would definitely recommend The Beaches to anyone!

We had an amazing stay at Beaches. The grounds and house are impeccable, with lovely interiors. There are so many thoughtful details throughout the property, and Buzz and Jo were responsive, kind, and personable. The area is close enough to walk to the main part of town, but we loved the quiet and calmer street, as well as the dining options. We will be back!

Great place in a very nice location n the esplanade and very nice hosts. The rooms are very nicely furnished, modern bathroom and all very clean. Very nice place for breakfast with excellent food. Parking could be a little tricky to find a place on the street in front, but there is a parking behind the buildings in front that serves multiple properties.

We booked a short stay while visiting the Cliffs Pavillion Theatre. As soon as you arrive and see how pretty, well decorated and clean and tidy the place is, you understand why it is so highly rated and reviewed. The view was excellent and there was very little road noise, the room was beautifull and they have thought of everything you could need. We loved the breakfast in the morning and Jo and Buzz were wonderful throughout! We look forward to staying again and can thoroughly recommend it to others.

Just returned from an excellent stay at the Beaches Guesthouse and would definitely return. Warm welcome and friendly service from Jo and Buzz throughout our stay. Room 10 was spacious, nicely decorated, spotlessly clean, and featured a good sized ensuite. The room could be improved by replacing the blind such that it blocks out all light in the mornings. Breakfast was included with a range of cereals, etc. on offer and a cooked breakfast which extended to things like Eggs Benedict, Salmon, Croissant with Cheese and Ham, etc. but unfortunately none of the more traditional offerings, like Bacon. Location: pretty good with nearby free parking, a short walk to parks, pubs, shops, and cafes, and about a 30 minute walk to the pier.

Breakfast is consistently described as delicious and well presented with a good range that includes dishes like eggs Benedict and salmon. A couple of reviews note the menu skips a traditional fry-up.

Absolutely loved our stay at Jo & Buzz's The Beaches. Absolutely amazing hosts in their beautiful homely guesthouse. Our room was very clean, the bed was very comfy and the sea view and balcon was lovely. I have a food allergy and Jo went above and beyond to cater for me with plenty of choice. I even had my own biscuits in the room according to my needs. Breakfast was delicious and very well made and presented. Lovely options as well. Thankyou for a delightful stay, and for our lovely chats. We would definitely stay again xx

Excelled our expectations on every level. From check in, everything explained, even down to the honesty box fridge, and local restaurant options, room 8, with sea view balcony, all clean tidy and comfortable. Breakfast saw so many happy obliging staff. A nice walkable distance to the pier on the lovely weather day we have had. A lovely guest house in every way, we had a great stay

Excellent stay with extremely hospitable hosts. The guest house was fresh, clean and tidy - best I’ve stayed in! Check-in was easy, quick and friendly. Had to ask for directions for evening dining and entertainment then was recommended takeaways and restaurants nearby and a pub nearby which were perfect. Breakfast next morning was delicious - they even laid the table outside for me as the weather was so good. 11/10!

What a fantastic find! Such a lovely Guest House. So much attention to detail - environmentally aware, very clean and fresh, lovely friendly staff. The toiletries were gorgeous - I particularly loved that the packaging was printed using natural products. And, breakfast was beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious, in a beautiful, bright breakfast room and garden. Excellent all round. I can't wait to go back.

My new favourite spot to stay in Southend. Extremely comfortable rooms and facilities and the hosts felt like extended family. The cleanliness and room presentation was beyond expectations and breakfast was one of the best I've had in recent memory.

a bit more care and attention was needed on the balcony ,it was lovely to sit out there and look out to sea but it was a bit dirty between the bedroom and balcony door opening, also a few cobwebs about the staff were lovely , made us feel really welcome even sending out a message on the day we arrived , nothing seemed to much trouble. some nice little touches like being able to help yourself to drinks in the fridge trusting us to pay when we leave , a water station with bottles to use fill it up tea/coffee milk in room which was re filled on our second day free paring outside or very near which was lovely we enjoyed our stay and would recommend a would stay again

My grandparents had a wonderful stay at this guest house. The staff were incredibly attentive and thoughtful towards my grandparents, taking the time to understand and accommodate their needs. Their kindness and care really made a difference and helped them feel comfortable and well looked after. My grandma especially said, “The staff were very charming!” — which says it all. 😊 Thank you to the whole team for making their stay so welcoming and enjoyable. We truly appreciate your kindness and would happily recommend you to others.
