Sea front one bedroomed flat.

RichardRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Thank you Jo for another great stay. A really large pristine one bedroom flat right in the heart of Whitstable. 30secs from the beach and closer to loads of bars and restaurants. Jo couldn’t have been more helpful and as we had a sunny weekend it was great to have some food and drink on the balcony watching the world go by below. Thank you Jo, we’re looking forward to our next visit in a few weeks time😊

Beacon House: beachfront family home

JennyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had the absolute best weekend staying at Beacon House. The house is absolutely beautiful, the rooms are all huge and everything was of a high standard. The house felt very homelike and the bedrooms were of hotel standard. Lovely touches like everyone having their own towels provided, toiletries in all the bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen. We all loved our stay and didn’t want to leave. The views from the terrace are stunning, the house has a really warm family feel but it’s so spacious that no one was on top of each other. We could all come together in the living room and play games with room to spare. Thankyou to these lovely hosts for letting us borrow their home for the weekend, we will definitely make a return trip as we all just loved it.

We had a lovely 4 days away celebrating my mother in-laws 70th. Antonina's hospitality was great, the house was spotless and she had even prepped the Swim spa which we weren't expecting to be available. The house had everything we needed for our break. Thank you.

The Coastal Soul by the Sea

LindaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Lovely property & beautifully presented. A real pleasure to spend the weekend there. Everything ran smoothly with Nic from booking to checking out. Great location if you want to be away from the hustle & bustle but easy access to the more touristy places. Great walks directly from the property along the coast in each direction. Would definitely recommend for a relaxing, boutique-style stay 😊

Parkside Haven

Mohd Taisir MohdRating, 5 stars7 months ago
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Belinda flat, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences I've ever had! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the spotless cleanliness and thoughtful touches throughout the space. The decor was modern yet cozy, making it feel like a true home away from home. Belinda went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect, providing everything I could possibly need—from a fully equipped kitchen to luxurious linens and toiletries. The location was ideal, situated in a quiet neighborhood but just a short walk away from the train station. The attention to detail was impeccable, and it was clear that Belinda genuinely cares about her guests' comfort and experience. Communication with Belinda was smooth and easy, with quick responses. Overall, this flat exceeded all my expectation and provided an unforgettable stay. If you're looking for a place that combines style and comfort, look no further—this is it!

The Flat

JillRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The flat was an amazing place to stay for a few days as a family with 2 kids. The flat exceeded all expectations - the space was beautifully decorated and practical. The views were amazing. Nikki was the perfect host - extremely communicative, responsive and couldn’t do enough for us to make our trip very special. We can’t recommend this property and Nikki highly enough.
