Folkestone harbour view
Great place, brilliant location. We had everything we needed. Host had milk and butter in the fridge for tea, coffee and crumpets. Would definitely stay again. 5⭐

Beach front Garden Apartment in Broadstairs
Fantastic visit! Great apartment! Brilliant Host! Everything was as described and my family and I had a fantastic weekend. The beach was right on our doorstep and we could not have asked for more. We will be back!

Stunning 3 Bed Apartment with Panoramic Sea Views
We had a fantastic stay at this apartment. The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to the pier and town centre, with plenty of shops, cafes, and restaurants nearby. The apartment was spotlessly clean, very spacious, and beautifully decorated throughout, creating a warm and relaxing atmosphere. It was also very family-friendly, with a great kids’ bedroom that our young children loved, and the host kindly provided a cot, which was a big help. Check-in was super easy, and communication from the host was clear and helpful throughout our stay. The apartment had everything we needed—from a well-equipped kitchen to comfortable beds and a lovely living area to unwind in after a day out. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area, and we’d happily stay again!

Sea-front boutique apartment Margate
Lovely apartment with perfect view onto the sea. Good restaurants within walking distance. Nice spot for a few days recuperation!

Contemporary Sea View Apartment. Balcony views
Second stay at Wendy’s lovely apartment. The view from balcony,lounge & the bed is stunning. Will miss reading in bed & looking out to sea. There was work going on in the block & Wendy kept us informed and gave us the option to cancel after the usual time if we decided that the work would ruin our stay - it didn’t.. apartment super clean & comfortable. Coffee shop - Coast at the Granville theatre on the green opposite flat is great venue for coffee with a view. Lovely area, easy to get around walked most of the time but did get the Loop bus to Margate. If we come back to Ramsgate next year will definitely stay here again. Thank you Wendy.

The View Sandgate Beach
We had a great stay at Vanessa’s place whilst visiting friends in the area. The location is excellent with spectacular views of the sea, and close to the great facilities of Sandgate. The flat was exactly as described and more spacious that the photos suggest. There was lots of nice touches that made the stay more comfortable. I would have no hesitation staying at Vanessa’s place again when visiting the area.

Stunning 1 Bedroom Flat, 3 mins walk from the Sea
Delightful stay. The flat was a perfect size and the breakfast/welcome basket made it an even easier trip with breakfast and more taken care of. Immaculate and lovingly decorated. Stephen and Debbie were great, thoughtful hosts. Would recommend without hesitation.

No.7 by the Sea - Margate

The Old Stable
Jane welcomed us upon arrival, and was so pleasant, she gave us a tour of the stunning accommodation and grounds, extremely helpful, we had complimentary fresh eggs and delicious homemade lemon marmalade. Also as we were celebrating a birthday we had a bottle of fizz in the fridge and happy birthday banners, it was so lovely. My partner was able to pick his own fresh laid eggs from the hen house as a birthday treat! The accommodation was just beautifully presented and a clear guest book left for us in case we needed to know anything, the grounds were stunning and the view was just wow, we chatted at length with the hosts about the various animals around which was a lovely addition! This stunning gem and amazing hosts are an absolute must, and we will definitely be booking again and we are excited to go back, a huge thank you to Jane

70s Inspired, 3-Bed Home in Rye with river views
We LOVE Helen’s house - it is in a fabulous location, spotlessly clean, exactly as pictured and so beautiful and comfortable. I would recommend Helen and her beautiful house to everyone. Thanks Helen for the bottle of champagne and chocolate you left for New Years Eve, such a lovely thoughtful gesture.

Lovely Beach House at Greatstone, Dungeness, Kent
We had an absolutely wonderful week in this great property- the direct access to the beach is very special - and the house is a real home, furnished for comfortable living rather than rental. Lots of gorgeous walks near by - great golf course up the road, handy EV charging point 2 mins walk away, and Ashford designer shopping outlet 30 mins drive away.

Victorian Splendour with Sea Views
Loved the house and location -very well equipped and very comfortable & spacious . Especially loved the balcony overlooking the sea-great for the sunset. Instructions for the oven & hob would have been helpful ! We had a lovely weekend, felt very at home .

Beach House - Sea view & Hot Tub & Fibre Broadband
We had a wonderful stay at Victoria’s beautiful beach property! We were 4 adults with 4 children and it was perfect. Plenty to do in the area, we went to rye and camber sands. House has everything you need for cooking. Plenty of fridge and freezer space and double oven. Hot tub was very much appreciated once the children were in bed!! Highly recommended

Beautiful beachside apartment
Our second stay here,just as nice as previously. The flat is always spotless with great facilities and a central location. Sue is a great host who provides you with all the information you need regarding the flat and the area itself.

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.

Bosun Cottage - boutique retreat on the beach
Very last minute stay. Ally was great, communicative and friendly. House was ready for our arrival, all goodness and fuss free. Just what we needed to clear our heads from the city. Beach, sea and coastal path outside the door, along with the Zetland Arms (good pub grub !). Everything we needed. Recommended !

The Coastal Soul by the Sea
Thanks Nic, we really enjoyed staying at your place ‘The Coastal Soul’, and loved being so close to the beach. It was just as you described it, very clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The tips in your house guide were also very helpful, the location was perfect and we enjoyed the walk along the coast to Reculver fort. We would absolutely recommend it and will definitely be back. Thanks again David and Jane

Quarterdeck Apartment. Beach Street by Deal Pier
Such a great little find for us as we stay in Deal often. The apartment is bright airy and spotlessly clean. It is so spacious so more than enough room for everyone. Fantastic location right in the centre of Deal and on the seafront. Communication with Sue was great and check in was simple! Would definitely recommend and will definitely be staying again.

Spacious and cozy two bedroom flat
Lovley property, very warm, parking was an issue on arrival but soon sorted. Area is a bit rundown but location to the oldtown with plenty of nice pubs & restaurants is a short 5-minute stroll away. Perfect if you have a dog as the local beach is a 2-minute walk. Supermarket (Aldi) is 2-minute walk as are a few local bars & coffee shops.

Westlife -Margate Beachside apartment
We had a lovely time staying here for a few days during the Easter holidays. Perfect place for a couple to stay and make the most of Margate whilst also being slightly out of the busy town centre.

SeaSeat, amazing sea view flat
Had a wonderful stay. The place was beautiful and the bay window looking to the sea and sunset was perfect. Took so many sunset photos from the window! Everything felt fresh and clean. Comfy bed - slept really well. Great amenities- loved the coffee machine. Kitchen very well catered for - all utensils that you’d need. Great shower. Host very responsive Loved Margate old town. Walked from Broadstairs back to Margate - great walk with beautiful beaches. A wonderful few days. Thank you.

Margate | Seaside Haven | Terraces | Sleeps 6
The place is as great as it is described, the guide provided is really helpful and the hosts were always responsive 🙂

A seafront apartment in the heart of Margate
Wonderful retreat which offered a sense of being private & slightly apart from busyness of Margate whilst being less than 2 mins walk from the vibrancy all Margate can & does offer. The accommodation was charming, welcoming, contemporary & full of vintage uniqueness plus offering expansive sea views via the front room/kitchen space & one of the bedrooms. Personally, we loved the walk up the original spiral staircase to the apartment but may be an issue if mobility needs to be considered. Access to excellent activities, events, shops, restaurants are within 3mins walk. It is a foodies delights re restaurants however there is a well-stocked & reasonably priced Aldi 3 mins walk away too. Free on-street parking directly outside accommodation also a bonus. Stephanie was communicative & responsive prior & during our visit with helpful support & suggestions. In all a lovely space to relax, recharge and reconnect. Thank you Stephane. Definitely will return & recommend!

Writers retreat Margate Lido overlooking sea
Lovely place with unreal views of Margate. Check in is really easy and great for exploring - would definitely recommend.
