Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This home is all about location. It's just a thirteen-minute stroll from Southsea Beach and lies within easy reach of Portsmouth's town centre, filled with cafes, bars and pubs. And for ventures further afield, Chichester is only a half-hour drive away – plus your host will arrange a parking permit for you upon request. Inside, the apartment is fairly compact, with a mezzanine bedroom that's very small and unsuitable for younger children (under 12 years old) due to the steep ladder access. That said, there's a fully equipped kitchen and a pleasant dining area, so you can enjoy homemade meals here after fun days spent exploring the coast.

About Portsmouth
Forget what you think you know about the navy – a maritime masterclass waits for you in Pompey. One of the UK’s oldest seaside destinations (and the country’s only island city), Portsmouth was once the world’s greatest naval port. So, unsurprisingly, the big draw here is the nautical history. The city’s armada lies at the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard – HMS Victory (1759-1765), HMS Warrior (1860) and the Mary Rose (Henry...
