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.

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.

The Terrace At Westbrook - Pet friendly
The apartment is beautifully presented and so clean - we felt really comfortable straight away. The location is fantastic and perfect for a stay with a dog as the beach is just a few steps away. Would highly recommend this property for a chilled out break

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.

Beacon House: beachfront family home
Super location for family with young children; house on a safe, private road and easy access to the beach with cycle/scooter paths. Close to other seaside locations (Whistable, Margate, Ramsgate) all worth visiting but also walking distance to Herne Bay.

Seafront Regency Townhouse - Balcony Sea Views
The location of the house was perfect. Within easy walking distance of the town and the beach. The house was very comfortable and homely and had everything we needed as 6 adults for a long weekend. Breakfast on the balcony was the best.

Luxury seaside home, garden, family & dog-friendly
Beautiful house in a fantastic location. the host was very responsive and helpful, and we had a great weekend there. The only think I would say is the "car park" space at the back is tiny, even for a small car. However the location of the house is great so worth finding a space somewhere nearby, and then walking everywhere after that. Thanks for a lovely stay 😁

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.

Family friendly on the beach Bungalow
What a find! Hannah’s place is perfect for young families, we were blown away by the toys and play equipment, our boys loved it so much. The bungalow is bigger than we imagined, good sized rooms and huge garden! There were 4 adults, 3 toddlers/babies and 1 dog and we had plenty of space. The best thing though was location - a minutes walk to a beautiful beach! A wonderful weekend full of memories, thank you Hannah.

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.

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

Damselfly Cottage - Riverside calm in the Old City
This is a lovely, welcoming retreat in the heart of Canterbury. There is a peaceful and private oasis on the back terrace where one can have a drink or a meal and listen to the birds, river, and happy daytime activities happening in the nearby park. Good view of the cathedral from the upstairs front window, and wonderful view of the river from the upstairs back balcony and windows! The location is close to everything (very walkable) and easy to find. The bed was very comfortable. Hosts were kind and responsive. We would certainly stay there again if we return to Canterbury.

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.

Exquisite City Centre Riverside Retreat + Parking
Lovely little flat right next to Westgate gardens. Everything was really clean and lots of little extras provided by Tom. He was a fantastic host and immediately popped round to deliver us a fan when requested on a warm day.

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.

Stunning Sea Views * Beachfront Luxury 2 bed
We've had such a lovely time at the flat, the panoramic sea views are stunning and the beds are very comfortable. Ella very kindly let us check in early and sent very clear instructions of how to check in as well as a great list of things to do nearby. It's up two flights of stairs but didn't feel too steep and the view was more than worth it. It was great being so close to Walpole pool plus the beautiful seafront walk into Margate. We hope to return!

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!

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.
