4.84 out of 5 average rating, 166 reviewsBeach front Garden Apartment in Broadstairs
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.

Great couple nights getaway in a beautiful home with every little detail thought of. Beautiful sea and sky views from the window. It was winter and cold so not a lot open in the old town but we didn’t want to leave the home anyway.

4.78 out of 5 average rating, 156 reviewsSea-front boutique apartment Margate
Really lovely flat with an amazing location. Everything is a stones throw away. The host is really responsive. The one thing to note is there are a number of stairs to the flat, so if you are travelling with a baby in a pram prepare yourselves. Would definitely stay again.

4.8 out of 5 average rating, 330 reviewsClifftop Apartment with Stunning Sea Views
Excellent stay for a weekend and amazing views of the sea from the windows. A bit of a trek up the stairs, so you'll need to be fit. Lots of restaurants, takeaways and pubs nearby. A nice 20 min walk to Margate. Old town very nice area. Arrived late but still lots of car spaces nearby. Highly recommended.

It was a lovely place to stay for the weekend. Very quiet and peaceful. Rooms were amazingly decorated and bathroom was immaculate. Hosts were great with wonderful welcome basket and great touches like phone charges and breakfast items already provided. Thanks so much for a wonderful time.

4.83 out of 5 average rating, 262 reviewsSeaside Beach House + Smugglers Caves
We spent nearly a week at Alex's house with a group of 8 (4 adults + 4 kids), and had a great time. The house is really unique and well appointed (including the tunnels, which our kids loved exploring), and the beach is literally across the street. Everything was clean and well looked after, exactly like the listing. Alex is a great host, very responsive throughout. Thanks again!

5 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviewsThe Sea House, Beach Front, Camber.
Exceptional! This spacious, beachfront property offers breathtaking views & glamour. Floor-to-ceiling windows on the ground floor & upper level balconies provide stunning views of the sea, making sunrises & sunsets unforgettable. We even saw a double rainbow! The property has a luxurious feel; as people strolled by, we noticed admiring glances & it’s easy to see why! Julie, our lovely host, was attentive to both home and guests. She greeted us on arrival and departure, was friendly and helpful. Direct beach access was great, being able to step out for a swim. Despite being on a public beach, the property felt private and secure. Convenience store 2 mins drive away, open 7am -10pm. We enjoyed exploring nearby Rye, with its charming streets, historic tower & restaurants. Bodiam Castle is 30 mins drive. Scotney castle is 50 mins drive but well worth a visit. Perfect blend of relaxation, luxury & adventure. Highly recommend for the ultimate beachfront getaway.

Loved our stay on seaview terrace. Six adults staying together for a university reunion, the house was better than expected. The location is excellent, house is really well equipped. Its utterly enormous. Jacqui also let us stay much later on the Sunday which was very helpful and generous. Really recommend this house.

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 223 reviewsBeautiful beachside apartment
The location is as good as it can get - 2 mins walk from the beach and walking distance from all the popular restaurants and cafes as well as the Ramsgate-Margate-Broadstaits loop bus. The apartment itself is very spacious and clean with all the necessary amenities. Susan and Jo are very thoughtful hosts (e.g., they provided separate beach towels in the apartment and a flexible check out).

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!

Condo in Kent
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 151 reviewsThe Coastal Soul by the Sea
Absolutely spotless property, very comfortable for the few nights break we had planned. A great spot for a base for exploring the area and lots of walks from the front door. The apartment is well furnished and equipped, and had everything we needed. The instructions are the clearest we've ever seen and made it so much easier to use the TV, oven etc etc.
Condo in Deal
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 518 reviewsQuarterdeck Apartment. Beach Street by Deal Pier
Sue was a fabulous host from the start with brilliant communication. Apartment is perfectly situated in Deal on the seafront in front of the iconic pier. It is situated above a couple of restaurants and earplugs advised if you’re a light sleeper once the local pubs/restaurants empty! Sue has kitted out the apartment with everything you could need and a few snacks, milk & juice was a lovely touch. Would definitely love to stay here again in the future. Thank you.

4.99 out of 5 average rating, 112 reviewsSeaSeat, amazing sea view flat
We loved our stay in Margate. The flat was the perfect location with an amazing view. Sara, the host, was very responsive. We’d recommend trying Angela’s and Saragossa for dinner out and Fort’s Cafe or Colina for breakfast. We took a day trip to Whitstable and ate at the Whitstable Oyster Fishery Company which we’d also recommend!
Condo in Kent
4.79 out of 5 average rating, 112 reviewsMargate | Seaside Haven | Terraces | Sleeps 6
Great instructions on location and how to get into the property. Ideal location and lovely balcony with sea view. Flat was clean (although a couple of things could do with upgrading, blinds, rub marks on walls etc) but it did not interfere at all with our stay. Overall a lovely flat in a lovely location and very happy.

Here’s a polished example of a 5-star review for Airbnb: Fantastic stay! The property was exactly as described—clean, stylish, and equipped with everything we needed. The location was perfect, close to old town and restaurants yet quiet and relaxing. Stephanie was incredibly welcoming, responsive, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. Check-in and check-out were seamless, I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area📍🤩
