Bijou Fisherman's Cottage in Conservation area
Just had another wonderful stay at Sea Sprite! Susan is an exceptional host who really wants her guests to have the best possible stay. The cottage is super clean and very well equipped with many basics provided. Susan has chosen very tasteful furnishings which make the cottage a really pleasant place to stay. The bed is really comfortable and plenty of towels are provided. The location is perfect - in the quiet historic part of town within a short walk of the many good restaurants, cafes and pubs in Deal. We will be back as soon as we can!

Quirky boutique style home by the sea with hot tub
We were a family party of 7 who meet up the same time each year. This accommodation was just perfect - literally had anything you need. We were lucky with the weather and managed to have 2 BBQ in the lovely garden. Would definitely stay here again

Stunning 4 bedroom townhouse in central Canterbury
A comfy, clean and central location. Good for a family with teens. We had everything we needed and communication was prompt. Enjoyed a day trip to Dover Castle and Mass downtown. Very easy to get to by foot. Thank you for a lovely stay! May God bless you!

Latimer House at Ramsgate Retreats
We had a great stay at Deannas beautiful house! It was said by multiple guests that it felt really homely and a very loved home, which is hard to find when looking for large rentals! We were very lucky with the weather so were able to make the most of the beautiful and well looked after garden, which comfortably sat us all. It was also very well equipped which made our lives so much easier trying to cater to 14 people, with additional fridge and freezer in the utility room. Deanna was a great host, and went above and beyond to ensure we had local information and fun things to do, with a relaxed check in and out time which was greatly appreciated. Thank you again for an incredible stay, I look forward to hopefully booking again soon!

4 Storey Seaside Georgian house
We had a great time at Stephanie's with our family. Stephanie was friendly, helpful and very responsive. A great location for the beach and harbour, a very clean, comfortable and stylish home.

Georgian seaside home a real gem!
Celebrating my birthday with close family and this house ticked all the boxes. Plenty of space for a family of 4 couples, 3 dogs plus a baby and we loved the quirky decor with plenty of beautiful crockery and utensils to choose from. The bedrooms were really comfortable with fresh linen and towels and a good size. No one had a poky one! We requested the hot tub at the last minute and this was arranged for us and was a real bonus!. Location excellent with the beach close and also the pier for a walk. We had a fabulous relaxing stay and the weather was great. Felt like home from home. The only comment I would add is that there was a smallish patio area with a large table so a bit of a squeeze outside but not really a problem, we split the tables the second night which helped. Great hosts who gave lots of info and responded quickly. Many thanks.

House with sea views next to the beach!
Second stay at the property and we hope to repeat again next year. Lovely location and accommodation.

Luxury seaside Georgian town house

Such a wonderful stay in a beautiful home. Sally was incredibly helpful, responsive and provided us with brilliant recommendations of places to visit in the local area. The cottage was perfect, it had everything we needed for our stay. We would absolutely choose to stay here again upon our return to Whitstable!

Sunshine Villa Broadstairs sleeps 8 close to beach
We love Broadstairs and this location is perfect to walk to the beach and all the fabulous restaurants. The house was exactly as we expected, clean and tidy and we felt right at home!!

Bright Modern Holiday Villa
The property is stunning and has been done-up to a really high standard. It's modern and comfortable and has everything you need. We have 2 small children and it was luxury enough for us as grown ups, without me being scared they kids would break something. My only flag is that it is right on the train line and you can hear the rumble of the train throughout the entire property, every 20 minutes between 6am and 11.30pm. It's bearable and didn't ruin the trip, but worth noting if you have very light sleepers.

Daweswood - Luxury countryside cottage, lake & tub
What a wonderful property Daweswood is! It’s stunning and had everything we needed for our weekend. Allister was lovely, he always responded quickly to my (many) questions in advance of our stay and on the check in day provided so much information and very clear instructions that made it all go smoothly. He even checked in with us after our first night which was lovely. I couldn’t recommend Daweswood and Allister as a host enough, I will absolutely be recommending him, and really hope to stay again.

Cosy cottage+ secluded garden
Lovely base for a stay in Deal. Easy to walk to the town. V spacious for 2 adults, 1 teen and a dog. V responsive heating and clear instructions for how everything worked. Would recommend and return in the future as v good value. We all loved the shower and v comfortable beds.

Fabulous historic seaside cottage by the sea
This is a lovely home in Broadstairs. It was the perfect fit for our family and dog. Our young girls loved playing in the back deck area. We were able to try several restaurants. Access to the beach was so close and easy - much needed with little kids!
