This seaside home is just a stone’s throw from Whitstable’s long, shingled beach. A stroll along the seafront will take you to a choice of independent shops and food stalls – you can’t leave without trying the oysters that Whitstable is famous for. You’ll be able to glimpse the sea from the home’s small balcony – which is perfect for a morning coffee or an evening aperitif – and for barbecues, there’s a small courtyard garden. While the home isn’t the most luxurious in our collection, we think it will suit a family or group of friends wanting a fuss-free getaway by the sea.

Home truths
One of the bedrooms has a pull-out day bed which converts into two singles. When used as a twin room, there won’t be much floor space here.
The ceiling in two of the bedrooms is on the low side – these rooms might not be suitable for taller guests.
The dining table seats six so isn’t big enough to accommodate everyone when the home is at full occupancy.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a high chair for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
Parties, gatherings, and social events are strictly not allowed at this home. Hanging decorations and banners cannot be put up.
There is free on-site parking for one car here.

About Whitstable
This seaside town suddenly came into fashion about twenty years ago and hasn’t looked back. Once a quiet fishing community, it’s now one of the most popular second home spots in Kent, and its many admirers have encouraged new businesses, bars and eateries to pop up all over town.
