Folkestone harbour view

PatrickRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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

EmmelineRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.

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.

No.7 by the Sea - Margate

EsmeRating, 5 stars2 days ago
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!

The Beach House - stunning sea views!

JulieRating, 5 stars16 months ago
Our family stayed here for our sons wedding in Kent, and we couldn’t have found a better place.

All the rooms are lovely so no arguments … and the spacious kitchen diner/lounge worked really well for us.

Winterstoke View-Family&Dog Friendly Beach Retreat

JohnRating, 5 stars2 days ago
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.

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.

Margate | Seaside Haven | Terraces | Sleeps 6

Carrie-AnneRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.
