Brighton Vacation Rentals

Renowned as Britain's most hip and desirable seaside town, Brighton has been around since the Bronze age and still shows no sign of going anywhere. The town is simply oozing with culture, rich with multiple theaters and live music venues. It's also a shopper's haven, offering antique markets, vintage clothing shops as well as specialist boutiques. Book your family vacation in one of the Brighton vacation rentals along the waterfront and wake up to the sound of the waves lapping against the beach. From riding the giant Ferris wheel to walking along the legendary Brighton Pier, visitors to Brighton can experience adventure and excitement all year round.

Making Your Way To Brighton

If you are flying in to the UK from abroad, it is best to fly into London before heading down to your Brighton vacation home. London is served by four major airports, including Heathrow, Stansted, Gatwick and Luton Airport. There are a range of trains, buses and taxi services available from all of these airports to take you to central London. Once in the city center, you will find a range of smooth and fast links to Brighton. You can take the train from St Pancras, London Bridge and London Victoria to Brighton's main train station.

The Food Lover's Haven

As a seaside town, Brighton offers some of the country's freshest fish dishes available, including the famous fish and chips. But Brighton also carries the torch for authentic organic, vegan and vegetarian cuisine. Terre A Terre serves an exquisite range of classy vegan fair, whilst the Happy Cow is another vegan favourite. There are plenty of Brighton vacation rentals at the heart of Brighton's main cafe district, so you won't have to go too far for your morning coffee, either. The Small Batch Coffee Shop is a busy, coffee-obsessed hotspot for caffeine lovers, followed by the vast skills of the Marwood Coffee Shop.

The very best of Brighton

Brighton is simply bursting with history and sights that will keep you and the family on the go for days. Ensure that you take the time to walk from your vacation flat to the 5 mile long beach front and enjoy the views of the nostalgic Brighton Pier. Further inland, the ornate Brighton Pavilion and its gardens are a majestic feast for the eyes. You can walk inside its exotic domes and minarets and explore the inner halls that were built in 1811 as a royal residence.

If shopping is more of your thing, then make sure you explore the narrow and winding 'Lanes'. These are clusters of independent shops, cafes and pubs squeezed into narrow, charming alleyways where you are sure to discover something new. Popular shops include the cake emporium Choccywoccydoodah, the colourful antique haven Snooper's Paradise and vintage clothing mecca Beyond Retro. And don't forget to pick up a classy bargain at the Antiques Market on the first Sunday of every month on London Road. Simply search for your ideal Brighton vacation rental in the nearby lanes to have close access to the myriad of bargains on offer.

Rich in Culture

The jewel in Brighton's crown is undoubtedly its sheer number of theaters and music venues. You need only saunter out from your Brighton vacation rental a few yards and you will run into the Brighton Dome, which stages top touring musicals and family shows. Or find yourself at the Theater Royal for a West End play. If music is your thing, find your way to the Hope and Ruin or the famous Concorde 2 for the latest in new, local bands and singer-songwriters.

Adventures For All the Family

If you are seeking excitement for both adults and children, then whisk yourselves off to the Brighton Pier. Here, treat yourselves to doughnuts and ice cream whilst walking through the penny arcades. Then, ride the waltzers or the dodgems in the Pier's very own fun fair. And no visit to the waterfront would be complete without riding on the giant Ferris wheel, either by day or night. If you look further up the coast, you will even see the ruins of what was once Brighton's second longest Pier which burnt down many years ago.

If you are looking for a fun adventure for all the family whilst staying in your Brighton vacation rental, the Brighton Sea Life center is close to the waterfront. Boasting the UK's first glass-bottom boat, the center houses over 150 marine creatures, including the Giant Pacific Octopus. With a variety of Brighton vacation homes available in the town center, you'll never be too far away from the excitement.
