We loved everything about Chris's flat. It has been beautifully refurbished and is both stylish and comfortable. It has everything you need for a great stay. We felt very at home. It was perfect for us (a couple and a 12 year old). The absolute bonus is the direct access to the beach through the pretty communal garden. The flat is also very private. We could have easily stayed for longer and will definitely be back. We also enjoyed discovering Broadstairs (loads of lovely cafes and restaurants and beautiful buildings) and the fantastic coastal walks from the doorstep. Thank you Chris for the excellent information.

The pictures do not do it justice, Lisa's place is truly spectacular. Breathtaking sea views straight from your bed, perfectly clean, loads of space and tastefully decorated. Thanks Lisa, our only regret is we couldn't stay longer.

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 196 reviewsContemporary 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.

Fantastic little top floor apartment with amazing views of the sea front. Cosy little kitchen/lounge area with comfortable furniture. Bed was just as comfortable. Perfect location to relax along the front or a short walk to the centre of town. Very helpful hosts who allowed me to check-in early. Can't fault at all, would definitely recommend.

What a gem! Beautiful ground floor flat within 5 minutes walk of the beach. Owners' attention to detail was faultless and decor was gorgeous. We had a very relaxing stay and the treats left for us were very much appreciated. Excellent communication with owners who were super friendly and helpful.

5 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviewsThe 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.

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.

Home in Camber
5 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviewsSeabreeze Beach House, with private spa, Camber.
The beach house was everything I hoped for in a coastal getaway—relaxing, cozy, modern and full of charm! The place feels so welcoming, with light, airy decor that’s perfect for a beach vibe. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook a nice meal, and the living space was a great spot to unwind after a day at the beach. It was super clean and had little touches, like comfy throws and beachy accents, that made it feel special. The beach is on the doorstep - so close that I could hear the waves from the bedroom. There are also some great little cafes and shops nearby in Rye, which made exploring really easy. Julie was awesome—super friendly, quick to answer any questions I had and happy to help at any time. If you’re looking for a chill spot to unwind by the beach, this is it. I’m already planning my next trip back!

Fantastic well equipped house well suited for our pre Christmas family get together. The bedrooms are stunning and the ground floor worked brilliantly for 9 of us of all ages. The garden is private and peaceful, and the seafront is a couple of minutes away. Perfect!

4.99 out of 5 average rating, 226 reviewsSeashells - Thorpe Bay beach apartments
Absolutely stunning place, better than expected by far. Photos didn’t do it justice and very clean with lots of home comforts. Maxine was great with recommendations for local restaurants and communication was brilliant. Especially when I had a moment when I thought we’d have to cancel. I got the time wrong for check out but the cleaner was understanding while we finished up our packing. Location was great, we went to the Ocean Beach and had a lovely meal and staff were really friendly.

Sue's apartment was perfect for our weekend in Kent. Perfectly clean, feels brand new and very well equipped. 3 adults and 1 child were very comfortable. We wish we could have stayed longer! Sue was so welcoming and helpful. Thank you!
Condo in Kent
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 136 reviewsSpacious and cozy two bedroom flat
Melody was so helpful and accommodating. The apartment is spacious, comfortable and has everything you need. Melody prepared for our arrival and provided milk and coffee and the apartment was very cosy when we arrived on a foggy cold day. 10 mins walk to the town so situated very well. I would not hesitate to stay again and plan a trip in the summer as the apartment is close to the beach.

A very central flat with sea view, 10 mins walk from station. Warm, clean and comfortable. A host of bars and restaurants on your doorstep. We went in January and Margate isn't fully open for business until Spring but still plenty of places to eat and drink. lots of microbreweries. Lafayette’s opposite very nice and inclusive bistro .

4.79 out of 5 average rating, 113 reviewsMargate | 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.

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 220 reviewsA seafront apartment in the heart of Margate
Great location, beautiful view and super cool apartment. We loved the eccentric curated style and the art and books. Don’t expect polished - this feels like a home, the kitchen is rather random, and it’s a little ‘lived in’. It’s a bit pricier than similar airbnbs in the area, but this gets you a truly unique place.
