Reminder for the planners: school summer holidays start mid-July. The good dates are going faster than usual this year, and dog-friendly bookings always go first. 🐾

If you've been thinking about Portsmouth or Southsea for a family week, the late August window still has options — but properly the last of them.

It's the small things, isn't it.

A roof terrace where you can have your morning coffee. A travel cot already made up. A pile of board games in the cupboard. Wellies and an umbrella by the door. Bowls and a blanket if you've brought the dog.

We don't think of any of these as extras. They're just what makes a place feel like a home you've borrowed for the week.

That walk back from the beach when the sun's just dropped and the apartment lights are on — that's the bit. 🌇

We've still got pockets of June and early July open across our four Southsea apartments. Sleeps six, dog-friendly options, private parking, and the beach is at the end of the road (we're not exaggerating).

Midweek breaks: the underrated holiday. 🛏️

Quieter beach. Easier parking. Cheaper everything. And most of our apartments still have midweek dates open in June.

The Garden Apartment (pictured): ground-floor, step-free, private garden, dog-friendly, sleeps six. Particularly nice for grandparents bringing the grandkids while parents grab a couple of working-from-Southsea days.

The first stop most first-time visitors make: HMS Warrior, sitting handsomely in the Historic Dockyard. ⚓

Fellow Portsmouth lovers — what's the one Dockyard ship you'd take everyone to first? Warrior, Mary Rose, Victory, M.33? Or do you skip the ships entirely and head straight for the harbour walk? 👇

The thing about a properly stocked kitchen — pots, pans, baking trays, cafetière, even the tea towels and oven gloves. You're not packing extra, you're not living off Tesco meal deals all week. You're cooking something nice on the first night while the kettle goes on, just like you would at home. ☕

Every one of our apartments is set up this way. A holiday let should feel lived-in, not stripped-back.

The garden gate clicks shut, the kettle goes on, and the dog has already found their favourite sunny spot on the decking. 🌿

Our Garden Apartment at St Helens House sleeps six, with a private garden big enough for a hot tub, ground-floor step-free access, and your four-legged friend very much welcome. The beach is — quite literally — at the end of the road.

A few summer dates are still open. Tap the link in bio to check availability!

Pop quiz for the weekend ⛱️

If you had one perfect Saturday in Southsea — what's on the list? Walk along the front to the pier? A flat white at Cafe Fresco? Or just a slow morning with the papers, somewhere quiet?

Tell us in the comments — we love taking ideas from regulars to pass on to first-time guests. 👇

Meet our unofficial welcome committee. 🐾

Home from Home was started by Jane back in 2012 — a small, family-run thing built around the idea that a holiday let should feel properly lived-in, not just turned over. Today we look after four apartments in Southsea, plus places on the Isle of Wight, in Edinburgh, and in Cyprus.

Charlie usually has the final say on guests. So far, his approval rate sits at 100%.
