Folkestone harbour view
We stayed at Daniel’s apartment for a long weekend away and had a really lovey time. The apartment was just like the photos, was clean and had everything we needed. Daniel provided crumpets on arrival, butter jam and milk which was very much appreciated! The place is in the perfect location, in walking to distance to the harbour and local pubs and cafes. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful Turret Flat Overlooking The Beach
I think this is my fourth stay in this lovely flat. It’s the perfect place to stay. In a peaceful part of town with the most amazing views and, if you are lucky, the most extraordinary sunsets over the sea. If you are a swimmer it has the extra benefit of being very close to the stunning Walpole Bay sea pool. Swimming there are sunset is a wonderful experience.

Beach front Garden Apartment in Broadstairs
Loved the beach access, straight out on to the sands and nice garden to sit in. Easy to use TV with helpful instructions. Lots of kitchen stuff to cook meals, not that we did. Found Chris extremely helpful and very comprehensive instructions for parking, checking in, and all the facilities including photographs.

Stunning 3 Bed Apartment with Panoramic Sea Views
Lovely house with spacious rooms and high ceilings. Good communication. Conveniently situated for coastal walks and is walking distance into the town.

Sunsets and Storms - seafront balcony apartment
If you want sea and beach views together with convenience of being close to town with its various pubs, local bakery and restaurants then this is the place to be. The balcony is great for people watching, sea views and sunsets: the weather was great. Thanks, Josie.

Shingle Bay 11
Awesome place to stay, clean and tidy. Love the little extras such as tea and coffee. Highly recommend staying here

The View Sandgate Beach
The flat was fantastic. I’m very picky about cleanliness, but I couldn’t find a single fault in that home, everything was very clean, and there were plenty of towels. Nothing was missing. White dominated the whole place. Loved it!! I would highly recommend it to everyone, and we’ll be back soon. PS: Vanessa, we’re so sorry, we couldn’t find a pen to leave you a note in the living room notebook, but I guess that’s a sign we’ll be coming back.

Stunning 1 Bedroom Flat, 3 mins walk from the Sea
Perfect destination for a long weekend 😀 Super clean, beautifully decorated flat literally 5 mins walk to the sea. Whitstable around a 25 minute flat walk along the coast road with ice cream parlours en route. Owners very helpful and left a lovely selection of treats including wine and a selection of baked goods. Everything thought of including toiletries, charging cables and cushions on the outdoor furniture. High quality of fixtures and fittings throughout. Absolutely loved the enclosed private garden with flowers and chirping sparrows. Close to restaurants, take aways or a nice M&S for eating in. Would recommend to anyone.

Unique Wedge Shaped Seaside Beach House
We had a great night at the wedge house. It’s a very cool quirky little house. Brilliant location for Adventure Island. Not the hosts fault but the street itself is quite run down and we had to listen to the boy racer cars all evening. But didn’t take away from the stay because us and the kids had a great time. Ria was very helpful as a host and was so kind to put up balloons and banners for us for my daughter’s birthday. I would definitely recommend for a trip to Southend.

70s Inspired, 3-Bed Home in Rye with river views
From the moment we stepped inside River House Rye we knew that we had chosen he right place ! A real home from home, but with a unique design that we simply wouldn't dare to do ... such a great place to stay and so easy to explore Rye without moving the car off the very spacious drive ! Globe pub very close by, provided ideal location to eat & refresh as did other places that Helen recommended. Even a little drizzle couldn't spoil our visit .... simply fantastic! We will definitely return 🫶

Maison de la Dune (sea view)
Stephane was a magnificent host. Very helpful and totally nice. The place was awesome. House directly in the dunes with wonderful views. Great decor. 🤩

Lovely Beach House at Greatstone, Dungeness, Kent
A delightful beach cabin experience. I booked this beautiful home for a recent girls trip. Sofia allowed us to get access early as several of us had come on overnight flights. The home is easily locatable and perfectly situated. We spent four nights, enjoying long dinners at the dining room table, sitting on the back deck, enjoying the stunning view and sleeping peacefully in the lovely bedroom. Sofia was responsive throughout our visit, and even let us check out a little bit later than planned so we could further enjoy the beach. note that this is a very low tide beach. If you’re hoping to swim, you will likely need to go to another part of the beach. The water is ankle deep goes out at that level for a very long way. The kitchen is very well appointed, the beds are super comfortable. I am a stickler for having decent hot water for a nice bath, and that was not a problem at all. Thank you so much to Sofia and her partner. We look forward ved every minute.

Victorian Splendour with Sea Views
Perfect house for exploring Margate with family and friends. Has everything you need and with beautiful sea views. This is the third time we have stayed and will definitely be back.

Beach Retreat, Lydd-on-Sea
Great host and a lovely place to stay! Highly recommend The Pilot Inn, friendly staff and great atmosphere!

Restored Pub with Home Cinema on the Seafront
Booked this for my Husbands 70th. 5 couples so, having a bedroom with en-suite for everyone was a real find. The location was superb, everything in walking distance. Sally provided recommendations for a dinner on the Saturday evening. We went to the Royal Hotel (across the road). It was a perfect w/e and the weather helped. We had sea views and right on the front. Cinema room in the basement was fab and we couldn’t fault a thing. Thanks Sally

Beach House - Sea view & Hot Tub & Fibre Broadband
The view and access to the beach was lovely.

Freshly decorated 2025 Thorpe bay beach apartment
I ended up cancelling, however, the host was most accommodating, responded to my messages within minutes and will be booking to stay at a future date.

The Coastal Soul by the Sea
We had a wonderful time at Nic’s place. Nic was super nice, always response and very clear in her instructions. Pictures don’t do justice to how beautiful it is. It is so tastefully done, paying attention to the smallest details. Be it the condiments at the kitchen, the books collection or the list of board and card games. While we loved reading in the garden when it was sunny, our absolute favourite part was being able to watch as rain trickled down the window and skylight whilst comfortably sat in the sofa. We absolutely loved this place and would definitely come back again.

Quarterdeck Apartment. Beach Street by Deal Pier
Sue was terrific. She could not have been more accommodating when our party of 3 became 4 (to include a young grandson) and she provided us with cereals and goodies for him and a bed guard rail. Her lovely apartment is beautiful, light, airy and comfortably furnished with excellent quality appliances and fixtures/fittings. The beds were wonderfully comfortable. A superbly designed and appointed apartment. Thank you Sue. Our stay was short but perfect.

Spacious and cozy two bedroom flat
Great property. Pics don’t do it justice. We really felt at home. Super close to the beach and park for the dogs. So many amenities, even a spare toothbrush - which i had forgotten at home. Thank you for having us.

Stylish apartment with stunning sea views
The flat was in a great location and easy to walk to wherever we needed. Aside from having a beautiful interior, the views over the sea were also stunning. Edward also very kindly let us check in early which ended up being a big help, so thank you!

Stylish City Centre Riverside Retreat + Parking
It was perfect as our main hub during our trips to Margate and Dover. We were impressed with the cleanliness and the interior design of Toms' place. Looked exactly as the photos if not better. The location is with the best view of westgate garden river. We also appreciated the light brekkie supplies that Tom provided for us. We truly enjoyed our Canterbury trip! Thanks a lot 🤗

Estuary Views Penthouse with Private Parking
we had a wonderful stay. Everything was perfect. Beautifully decorated, and so comfortable. Samantha was very helpful, and easily contactable. The views were amazing. great restaurants and bars in easy walking distance. we will definitely be back. Thank you Samantha for a lovely stay.

2 Bedroom Minnis Bay beach apartment
Karen was very responsive and helpful. we loved the place and we felt very at ease. There is not a lot to do around, but it is a great place to relax.
