Here's out list of some of the coolest Airbnbs in the county.
American bus stop 119 - Billericay
These memorable yellow buses available to rent in Essex are anything but ordinary.
Pair Glen and Lucy Wylie transformed well-recognised American school buses, shipped from New York, into stylish tiny homes on wheels.
The property, available for £89 per night, stands on a five-acre plot accessed down a long gravel drive, with adjoining fields and a well-stocked fishing lake affording privacy, peace and tranquillity.
The buses are equipped with kingsized beds, pull-out sofas, one bathroom each, fully equipped kitchens, and a patio with lake views.
The creative couple has shown their journey of transforming yellow buses into livable spaces on their Instagram page.

Romantic Woodland Cabin - Colchester
The woodland cabin presents itself as a truly unique escape, oozing with quirk and charm and hidden surprises.
Nestled on the edge of ancient woodland, Heath Hollow is an enchanted haven of peace and tranquillity.
Each hour brings something new, from morning bird songs to the evening cries of the woodland creatures.
The close proximity of Colchester Zoo, often brings noises of a less indigenous nature, with the roar of a lion often heard at dusk.
The property for £245 per night has an open plan design with a compact en-suite hidden behind the Super King size bed.
The en-suite has a heated mirror, heated towel rail and rainfall shower.
A copper roll-top bath sits at the end of the bed for those romantic moments.
