Folkestone harbour view
Great communication from Daniel, who was very friendly and answered all my queries promptly. Flat was as described, with a good view of the harbour. There were some crumpets, milk and butter at the flat when we got there, which was a nice welcoming touch.

Beach front Garden Apartment in Broadstairs
Great location right on the beach with access directly from the shared garden (no view of the beach from the apartment). Lovely area with lots of pubs, bars and restaurants in easy walking distance and lots of choice of beaches to walk/run along. The property is only accessible on foot and with quite a lot of stairs but that was clear in the listing (but I would consider how much luggage you need!) and didn’t bother us. A lovely place to stay and I would recommend Broadstairs and the apartment.

Stunning 3 Bed Apartment with Panoramic Sea Views
Beautiful spacious apartment. Very comfortable beds. Lovely high ceilings and high quality furnishings. We loved the sea views and location was convenient.

The Well Margate. A Sea View Wellness Residence
A stunning place to stay if you want to visit Margate. Beautifully curated space created with intention and love. A real thought has gone into each area of the space considering the experience of the guest at every moment. So many highlights to choose from. Spacious living space with tons of depth. Gorgeous record player to dance around the kitchen with. Stunning situation of the rolltop bath as your relax and melt into the warmth of the water watching the waves rolling and birds fly past. Meditation corner beautiful way to spend time reading or starting your morning rituals. The haeckels proximity ya throughout really make it an act of self care spending time in this beautiful space. The perfect place to unplug, switch off and reconnect. I can’t wait to return. X

Contemporary Sea View Apartment. Balcony views
Wonderful Xmas getaway in a lovely clean apartment with an amazing large balcony to enjoy the stunning sea views. All the facilities you could require for a break are provided and even a proper hairdryer not a mini excuse of one! Easy access to a number of lovely walks to Broadstairs, Botany Bay and Margate made this a very memorable trip. Wendy is very attentive and recommended a great selection of local restaurants and cafes. Perfect location, property and host.

The View Sandgate Beach
We had a fantastic time at the View - so warm and cosy despite the winter weather, and the perfect location for walks on the beach, trips into Folkestone and of course amazing sea views! Would definitely recommend!

No.7 by the Sea - Margate
What a lovely Airbnb! It is spacious and very clean; even better than the photos. The bed is really comfortable snd there's a great view of the sea from the living room. Mark sent some useful local recommendations which is always helpful on Airbnb. My son and I stayed for two nights and during our whole day in Margate, we walked along the coast to Broadstairs, which we both enjoyed. Recommended!

Stunning sea view top floor flat
This is a stunning place to stay. It looks just like the photos. The view from the sofa and the table is right out to sea. Clean and stylish. Very quick responses to any messages. I can't praise it highly enough

The Beach House - stunning sea views!
Our family stayed here for our sons wedding in Kent, and we couldn’t have found a better place. The weather was perfect so we enjoyed a swim in the sea and sitting outside as well as the beautiful house itself. All the rooms are lovely so no arguments … and the spacious kitchen diner/lounge worked really well for us.

Sea front architect designed house in Tankerton
We had an amazing time at Mark and Sonya's place! It's beautiful, well appointed, spacious and comfortable. Would definitely reccomend.

Lovely Beach House at Greatstone, Dungeness, Kent
we absolutely loved staying here, a beautiful house with an incredible beach side location. Strolling through the back garden and straight on to the sand dunes was a real treat. The interior of the house is incredible and hugely relaxing and it had everything you needed for a lovely stay. would love to come back one day again.

Victorian Splendour with Sea Views
This lovely house is perfectly situated in a fantastic location, offering stunning sea views. The beds are exceptionally comfortable, and the property is fully equipped with everything needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Ideal for large groups or families, I highly recommend this home for anyone looking to unwind in comfort and style.

Beautiful beachside apartment
We had a lovely break and would certainly stay here again. The flat is great and the location perfect with the beach, bars and restaurants all very close. Susan and Jo were great hosts, providing us with all the information we needed and being really responsive. Would absolutely recommend.

Winterstoke View-Family&Dog Friendly Beach Retreat
Sheila’s house feels like a home the moment you step inside. It’s roomy and bright throughout. We all loved the place including the young grandchildren who spent ages in the garden amusing themselves. The kitchen is packed with masses of everything you could think of and as we cook this was brilliant. As all the adults have stressful busy lives this break was so relaxing, just what was needed. As a birder I highly recommend Pegwell reserve for a great walk and great birdwatching. Highly recommended.

Georgian seaside home a real gem!
We had a lovely time in Herne Bay. The house was gorgeous and in an amazing location. It was well equipped with everything you could need and was super clean. Any questions were answered quickly and they were super helpful. Would definitely recommend staying here if you’re coming to herne bay.

Bosun Cottage - boutique retreat on the beach
Outstanding. Wonderful location, fabulous and spacious cottage, fantastic pub nearby and a very professional and supportive host. Will definitely stay again and very highly recommend it to anyobe thinking of staying by the sea in Kent.

The Coastal Soul by the Sea
The Coastal Soal is nothing short of amazing, spacious modern apartment with all the amenities you need, impeccably clean and furnished with some amazing decor that adds to the peacefulness, calmness and tranquility. Comes with an unbelievably comfortable bed and very well sized bathroom. Very detailed house booklet to assist in helping you find your way around the apartment and its amenities. The pictures really do not do it justice and it has to be seen to be really appreciated. Mins from some of the local coastlines most stunning walks, and plenty of high standard restaurants and bars nearby. Cannot rate this apartment high enough, simply stunning 🥇

Quarterdeck Apartment. Beach Street by Deal Pier
Fantastic pad in a great location. Sue was incredibly helpful with guidance and communication. Will definitely be going again.

Spacious and cozy two bedroom flat
This basement flat is in a great location - right next to the beach with an Aldi just up the road and only 20mins from the rail station. Margate has loads of lovely independent shops and cafes and this flat is so convenient for everything. Very spacious inside too and the self check in and out was really convenient.

Westlife -Margate Beachside apartment
The apartment has a lovely view of the sea. We very much liked the design and location and look forward to our next visit to Margate.

SeaSeat, amazing sea view flat
We really enjoyed our stay at Sara’s place. The location is amazing and the view is priceless. Sara was a great host and very quick to assist where needed.

Margate | Seaside Haven | Terraces | Sleeps 6
Really lovely clean space right on the water front. It could do with a bit of a refresh paint wise but it really didn't affect the overall great feel of the place. Accessing the building was extremely easy with the codes etc and we found everything we needed in the place, there is also a convenience shop right next door for all your basics like bread and milk etc. We stayed in Winter, I expect it would be even more amazing in the summer season. Would 100% stay again.

A seafront apartment in the heart of Margate
Gorgeous flat! Very walkable! We would love to return in the Spring/Summer!
