Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Whitstable Harbour

A wonderful place to stay in town: bright and airy. Very close to all the shops, restaurants, with a great pub at the end of the road. Caroline was a wonderful host: the house was kitted out with everything we needed. We had a lovely stay.

Just back from a short stay. We loved it. Thank you to Erica and Pete for allowing us to share your home. We will certainly be back.

Communication with Caroline before booking & running up to our stay was quick, straightforward and clear. We loved her place; comfortable and extremely well equipped. The location was great too - we pitched up on the first day and managed to get a space in the street only a few doors down, and from then on we didn’t use the car until we departed; it’s very easy to walk to the high street (literally at the bottom of the road - a 2 min walk) and the coast (a further 3 min) and the train station (a 9 min walk). Loved Whitstable itself, and we were so lucky with the weather too. Thank you Caroline.

We would highly recommend. We had such a lovely weekend away at Fleur’s place. A very homely place with everything you need and short stroll from the train station and to the seafront. It was also great with a little one. Great communication throughout. Thank you !

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Slip Cottage. Great communication from Steve throughout and perfect location for beach, restaurants, etc. Literally just off the main street but still quiet. Lovely touches like providing handwash and bubble bath! Lots of towels and toilet roll also. Highly recommend staying here.

We had a wonderful time at the home with its beautiful, cosy, interior making us all feel right at home from the beginning! The excellent location made everything so easily accessible, and Helen had so many great recommendations of things to do it made our trip even better than we hoped. Great value, great place, great host!

The whole family experienced the ‘wow!’ factor upon entering this charming property. The pictures are a true reflection but it goes to show that a real life. 3D version is often so much better. Jamie is incredibly helpful and responsive and treated us to very flexible arrival and check-in times. It’s a very central location, easily walkable to the beach sauna! Highly recommended.

Our daughter was very recently diagnosed with a rare form of epilepsy. Due to her medication, we were unable to fly, which meant that we had to cancel our planned family trip abroad for her 1st birthday. We found Alex and Lucie’s listing and it seemed almost too good to be true! Somewhere that we could keep our youngest shielded, whilst also giving us a place to give our eldest a real feel of a holiday. The cottage is beautiful and immaculately kept. Everything about it is perfect. Alex and Lucie added additional personal touches, like a hooded towel for the little one and additional pool checks to ensure that she was kept safe, which we appreciated immensely. I’m not sure if it was me or our eldest that had most fun in the pool and the pool toys got plenty of use! We said within a few hours of arriving that we would love to return and we look forward to doing so in the future. Thank you so much for helping us to give our little ones (and us) exactly what was needed!

Really enjoyed our stay at Paula’s flat. Loved the seaside decor. Two big bedrooms and plenty of coat hangers in the wardrobes. Lovely furnishings in the lounge. A pretty little garden full of roses and a sunny deck. We always managed to park on the street near the flat. The parking behind the flat was very tight and not suitable for a larger car. We walked to the seafront in five minutes and to town in ten. Great location. Whitstable had real charm - an active seafront, lots going on and loved the shops and cosy restaurants on High St and Harbour St. Paula emailed a really detailed list of things to do and restaurant, pubs and cafes to try which was much appreciated as it was our first visit to Whitstable. Great place to walk the coastal path. We also drove to Botany Bay and walked to Broadstairs. Had a lovely day in Canterbury exploring the lanes full of interesting shops and restaurants, did the river walk and saw the beautiful cathedral. Despite mixed weather plenty to do.

Fabulous! The place was immaculate, really comfy bed, extremely well appointed, amazing view, the communal area smelt amazing,aswell as the apartment! Thanks for a great stay

We had an amazing time staying at Helen’s lovely flat. Whitstable is the perfect spot for a long weekend - with great restaurants, pubs and walks wishing touching distance. Helen was super friendly and gave us some great recommendations when we arrived (as well as providing an extended list in the booklet provided). We can’t wait to visit again one day soon!

A beautiful apartment with tasteful decor. Lovely place to be and only sad that I was only there to sleep!

Daniel and Erica's place is lovely, we stayed two nights with kids and it was a perfect base for exploring Whitstable, walking into town down the Crab and Winkle Way each day. They were super responsive, friendly and flexible, sending loads of great recommendations that were tailored to us (we came on the train so they gave great walking / cycling tips!). The flat is spacious, calm, comfortable, clean and homely - a welcome retreat from the busy centre of Whitstable. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing time staying here. The hosts were amazing, friendly, welcoming and very helpful. They sent us clear instructions for our stay and local shops and restaurants immediately following booking. Everything in the accommodation matched the description and photos, and was a lovely place to stay. The price was extremely good considering everything provided. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to rebook in future

Found Helen to be a lovely sociable host , directions were great , communications and information on places to eat and other stuff we asked for was very very helpful. We paid a bit more than normal for the room as it was May Day Bank Holiday Weekend and also there was a Peter Cushing Convention on in town , but we were happy to pay this price not a problem at all as we knew from the start how much it was , and please remember anybody who reads this ok they may charge higher this time of year but please remember the times when they may struggle in bad months winter etc , bad weather etc etc - so no complaints about the charge at all. The place was spotless , clean , relaxing , appliances in kitchen , tv and dvd (never really got time to use them as out all the time - but for anyone else this would be ideal , also board games etc. Bathroom was the highlight - massive with a free standing bath and a massive shower ie you are not struggling to move - fantastic. Beds where very comfy.

Brilliant weekend stay with Sally, absolutely great location. The accommodation was spotless and a great location. Previously having a property in Whitstable we knew the area well and within 5 minutes you are at the heart of the town. Sally was a lovely host and nothing was too much trouble. We are already planning our next trip and will be sure to stay with Sally again.

The flat was everything you would hope for from an Air B&B and Bethany was a perfect host - quick to respond, friendly and made recommendations. The flat was in a perfect spot - a pebble's throw from the beach and Tankerton Slopes and a 20 minute walk along the promenade into the harbour and Whitstable town centre. The flat was lovely - clean, homely and with everything you need. You really couldn't ask for any more.

The host, Norman, was just so easy to communicate with. He answered several questions that I asked and provided the information that I needed. You are so close to the beautiful walking path along the ocean. The village has many shops and along the path near his place are markets to hike through and eat at. You have a lot of space with large ceilings.

Perfect stay, just a short drive from the city centre- option to walk if preferred. Great recommendations left in welcome book. Accomodation exactly as we expected it to be. Highly recommend.

We wrapped up an incredible three-week road trip through the UK with a two-night stay at Tom’s charming coach house flat—and it was the perfect finale. This beautifully appointed second-floor, two-bedroom retreat was ideally situated, just a short and scenic walk (less than 0.8 miles) from the heart of the Old City and the Canterbury Cathedral. With restaurants and groceries conveniently located within three blocks, and every imaginable amenity thoughtfully provided within the flat—including on-property parking and breakfast essentials awaiting us—it exceeded all expectations. The comfort, location, and attention to detail made for an unforgettable stay in Canterbury. Now I truly understand why this Airbnb is so “highly rated”! Tom’s hospitality was exceptional—helpful, informative, and always clear in his communication. A truly lovely experience from start to finish.

Fabulous apartment with spectacular views! The photos do not do the grandeur of the place justice… it’s absolutely stunning! Angela was great too and had some fantastic recommendations on what to do and where to eat, which were fab. Would stay again in a heartbeat!!

A wonderful space in the heart of Canterbury. We’ll definitely be coming back :)

Heather, Terry & Helen went above and beyond to help and make sure our booking was a success Piglet’s Penthouse is beautiful, with lovely little touches and attention to detail. The location is perfect and access to the harbour really easy. It was the perfect short break and we would absolutely come back if we can!

It was a privilege to stay in Teresa’s lovely seaside flat. From the moment I walked in the door of this bright, cozy and beautifully decorated flat it felt like I was entering someone’s home, not a typical rental unit. It was clean, well outfitted and decorated, with the most incredible view of the sea. I would most definitely recommend and hope to return myself on future visits. Thank you, Teresa!
