Hayling Island, on the Hampshire coast near Portsmouth, is a popular spot for a holiday let thanks to its beaches, watersports scene and easy access from London and the south east.
Watersports appeal
Hayling is well known for windsurfing and kitesurfing, so a holiday let here can appeal to a different crowd than a typical family-beach location — worth factoring into who you expect to rent to if letting is part of your plan.
Transport links
Its proximity to the A27/A3(M) and Portsmouth makes it realistic for weekend use even from further afield, which is part of why demand for holiday accommodation here has held up well.
Checking the specifics
As with any holiday let purchase, confirm whether you’re buying a leasehold unit on a park (with associated site fees) or a standalone let property, since the two have very different cost structures and planning considerations.
See our Hampshire holiday guide for more on the wider area.
If you’d rather book a stay here first, Mill Rythe Coastal Village is an Away Resorts park right on Hayling Island with hot tub lodges and an indoor pool — a good way to try the island before deciding on a purchase.
