Avocet Quay is a unique self-catering holiday home on the West Sussex - Hampshire border between Portsmouth and Chichester and is perfectly situated to explore the South Coast. Appealing all the year round the picturesque harbour side village of Emsworth is surrounded by wonderful countryside, close to idyllic sandy beaches and near to many historical sites, giving it one of the best seaside locations.


Built on the foreshore overlooking Emsworth harbour at the edge of Thorney Island, the house affords a quiet, secluded and rural position, enclosed by private grounds. Ideal for a wide range of activities such as sailing, cycling, walking, bird watching, fishing or just relaxing on the balcony it is the ideal waterside retreat. A short walk through the marina, then an amble beside the tranquil 'Mill Pond' brings you into the heart of Emsworth village where you will discover a wide range of homely pubs, restaurants and shops. Also mainline train services and south coast bus routes, are all within easy walking distance.


Uniquely built on stilts all the accommodation is on the first floor, providing sheltered parking below for cars, boats or bicycles. At ground level is the front door and cloakroom, with stairs leading up to the main living area. Off the landing is a open-plan lounge-dining kitchen space, two bedrooms and a luxury bathroom. Large sliding glass doors in the living room and bedroom open onto the best feature of the property the sunny south-facing balcony with lovely sea views. This gives the house a delightful warm, light and airy feel.

Home from Home

I have stayed in various deckhouses in Emsworth and particularly like this one due to its location. The accommodation is very comfortable and inviting with all that you would need to make your stay enjoyable. Emsworth Village is within walking distance from the deckhouse with various places to eat in the evening and during the day. I would definitely recommend this accommodation.

Great Holiday Home

This is an excellent holiday home in a beautiful location. It was very well equipped, clean and very comfortable. We had everything we needed. We stayed there for Goodwood Festival of Speed and it is perfectly located for that and many other attractions. We had a great festival and holiday. We also visited Portsmouth, the Isle of Wight on the hovercraft and Arundel Castle. We will be back again.

2nd Visit

Can't say better than a return visit. Very comfortable base, with a beautiful balcony with views over the water and marsh. Lovely place to relax in the evening after a day exploring this beautiful part of the country.

Excellent as always.

This is our third stay at 6 Avocet Quay and I’m sure it won’t be our last. It’s in a beautiful and peaceful spot on Emsworth Yacht harbour, there are lovely walks straight from the door, and the accommodation itself is one of the best equipped and comfortable places we’ve ever stayed, truly a home from home. We hope to be back soon!

Home from home on stilts

A stunning location providing a home from home on stilts. A very thoughtful owner providing not just a comfortable holiday home but one which feels like we’re putting on a very comfortable pair of swish shoes. The deck house, set in surrounding Chichester Harbour with its wildlife, views and walks relaxed the mind, lifts the soul and fully rests the body. Thankyou - we’re back at New Year to enjoy 6 Avocet and watch the migrating birds from the balcony deck. Thanks everyone - a marvellous holiday.

Great location, very comfortable and well equipped apartment

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The location is fabulous, the apartment was warm and comfortable and extremely well equipped for food preparation and cooking. There are also lots of excellent eating establishments within easy walking distance, and so great dog walking too.

Cosy apartment near the sea

Super cosy little apartment near the sea. Extremely comfortable and great location. A tad disappointed that the pond had been temporarily drained, outside of the apartment, but only detracted from the experience slightly. Would stay again 5*

Dog-friendly gem in beautiful Emsworth

Our second stay in this unusual property with fabulous views & every home comfort. There's nothing to not like. Perfect location with a guaranteed parking spot outside. Easy interesting stroll via the boat yard to the shops & eateries of Emsworth. Heating needed no tinkering - lovely & warm by day, cooler by night. Comfortable sofa with fabulous views & a huge tv. Comfortable bed, underfloor heating in the bathroom, no shortage of hot water, great shower, well-equipped kitchen.

Our stay

Location was excellent but the chalet could do with a bit of updating especially the couches but everything was there especially cleaning products

Repeat vist

We have stayed at No 6 many times now. It's a great location and the deck house is warm and comfortable. The TV and wi-fi are excellent and it's extremely well equipped. The cleanliness does seem to have declined a little since our last stay however. A dirty towel had been left in the bathroom, the main bedroom drawers were dusty and the trays in the oven were in need of either a very good clean or replacing. But none of that affected our stay and we look forward to returning next year.

Excellent Deckhouse

First class in every respect - super location, comfort, fixtures & fittings - all thoughtfully done. The visiting grandchildren from nearby Portchester think the deckhouse is fan-tas-tic!!! So much so we have booked again next year And grandchildren tell us they’re coming to stay in the second bedroom!!

Beautiful sunsets

The deckhouse had everything you would need to have an enjoyable holiday. The view from the balcony was lovely. It was an easy walk into Emsworth which has a variety of restaurants and takeaways. The sun shone for the whole week and there were lots of interesting places to visit.
Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024

Location

Comfortable relaxing living room with great balcony, views over the water stunning. Kitchen slightly limited in space but well equipped. Comfortable beds. The walk through the marina to the charming village of Emsworth a delight. The area has so much to offer in terms of days out. Already planning our next visit to 6 Avocet Quay.

June Holiday

Entered to the stairs, noting useful whites amenities(drier, freezer and washing machine). A welcoming kitchen diner lounge. Beds very comfortable and spacious with good storage. Shower room really nice with the exception of a poorly lower cupboard lip which restricted washing etc. Fridge in kitchen was decidedly, too small, with maximum output insufficient due to the fact it wasn’t cold just cool, someone did report this when they stayed in April in the reviews. We reported this to Henry Adams, the young lady said she would get in contact with the owner and keep us informed, with what was going to happen, to which we have received no reply. We did loose some items due to this problem, but we did put some ice packs in which did relieve the issue. All in all an enjoyable stay but the Fridge does need to be sorted.

Lovely place

Unusual design but very well presented and great location. The property had everything you needed for a relaxing stay. Bed very comfortable. Lounge, kitchen, diner was great. Plenty of space and all the white goods you need. Everything thought of. Great.

Absolutely beautiful location

We have stayed on a Deck House before but the location of this particular one was stunning. The lakeside views from the balcony were so relaxing. Internally, perhaps the deck house could do with a bit of an update, although perfectly clean and comfortable. We will happily return, it’s just such a perfect spot. Emsworth is also lovely. We will be back.

Fantastic location, easy access to the slip way

Great location right by the water and nature reserve. Easy access to the slip way for small boats and water craft. The bed was really comfortable. Emsworth has great eateries and useful shops, just a short walk away. Being by the water attracted midges and one night there was a strange smell. Overall a very relaxing stay.

Lovely repeat visit

It's been a few years since we stayed at No 6 but it is still just as good. Cosy and comfortable with a lovely view. Best equipped holiday let we have stayed in. All the kitchen utensils you need with an ample supply of washing up liquid, hand wash, kitchen roll and toilet roll. It's a great location and we enjoyed some very nice trips out to Beaulieu, Arundel, Chichester, Wickham, Lymington and more.
