If you're looking for a quintessential seaside town cottage, this is for you. We love how the nautical theme runs through the whole home through artwork and decoration touches. Even the kitchen has a touch of bluey green. And all the while, the whole home is beautifully bright, cheerful, and inviting. It's the ideal place to spend a seaside getaway. Mornings here are particularly lovely. The sunlight beams through the windows, reflecting on the walls, and invites you out onto the balcony. Breathe in that fresh air and enjoy the morning sun on your face. You wouldn't believe you're just a two-minute walk to the High Street. Whitstable's bustling High Street is lined with galleries, independent boutiques, one-of-a-kind pubs, beautiful restaurants, and more. It's the kind of place you could spend days exploring. Not only are you close to the High Street, but you're also just a three-minute walk to Whitstable's famous beach. In the warmer months, the sea is crystal clear and a lovely shade of blue. We can't guarantee it'll be swimming weather, but we do guarantee it'll be beautiful. Come dinnertime, there are many restaurants all of all kinds of cuisines to try out, or enjoy relaxed dinners... at home.

Local guide
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. Away from the high street, the real attraction is the long pebbly beach – known for its views across the estuary...
