Lovely clean and modern apartment.Relaxing place.

BenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Stella has a fantastic two bed apartment here with wonderful views out to the water. Everything is within walking distance whether that be shops, pubs or just a nice stroll along the coastline! I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking to stay in Kent and get the best of both worlds being so close to the station and city but also being on the doorstep of so much greenery and countryside. Stella was fantastic as was her assistant Natasha.

Sunsets and Storms - seafront balcony apartment

DavidRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Hi Josie, thank you for a perfect stay! That view was out of this world, we really felt like it was our own place. Everything was within walking distance which allowed us to leave the car parked throughout. The wine in the fridge didn’t last long thank you, we would definitely come and stay again, in fact it was sad to leave. Thank you Josie for our first experience using Air B&B. Take care love Dave & Andy

Sea front one bedroomed flat centre of Whitstable

CristinaRating, 5 stars5 days ago
We had a great stay! The place was spotless and very comfortable. The bathroom was especially impressive—modern, clean, and well-stocked. One of the best parts was the location—it’s just a short walk to the beach. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

A gem of an appartement in a great location despite the fact that the glorious past of the building is, well... in the past! The appartement is light and well appointed and has fascinating views of the industrial port and the town below.

Stunning 1 Bedroom Flat, 3 mins walk from the Sea

LisaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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.

Pet-Friendly & Accessible, SeaViews

GhislainRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We had a lovely stay at Becky’s place. The house was very clean and comfortably spacious for our group of seven — no small feat when you’re trying to coordinate showers, tea rounds and who gets the comfy seat in the garden. The terrace and garden were a real highlight, with a little sea view that made morning coffees and evening drinks feel extra pleasant. The value for money was excellent, which we really appreciated. Now, the location… well, let’s just say Sheppey has a certain rugged charm. It’s not exactly buzzing with activity, but if you’re looking to unplug, stare at the sky and listen to seagulls with strong regional accents, you’re in the right place. The house itself is simple and functional. Becky was responsive and helpful throughout, and the listing was accurate. Thanks again for the stay!

beachside house with uninterrupted Sea views

SaawanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Stayed here with 10 guys. There is ample room to sit together to have dinner, a large enough lounge for everyone to relax and all spaced that require less clothing is very private and not overlooked. The upper balcony is shared with a bedroom from 16A, but I assume that is not in use when the place is booked. Driveway is shared with adjacent property but you can still fit 4 cars. Hot tubs extremely well maintained. Furniture is in excellent condition. Furnishings are modern and tasteful. All kitchen appliances work with ample crockery and cutlery. Beds are very comfortable and allow flexible sleeping arrangements. Bathrooms were very clean.

Georgian seaside home a real gem!

LouiseRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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.

Damselfly Cottage - Riverside calm in the Old City

BruceRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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.

Parking Luxury apartment in London O2O 3098 8899

MalavikaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This is a superb place to stay in London. Located in a quiet and pleasant locality, but also close to public transport (tube, bus and ferry), it is convenient and reasonably priced. The apartment is better than the pictures! Yes, clean, well maintained, with tastefully done interiors, thoughtfully stocked kitchen and a breathtaking view of Thames , it was truly a lucky find. I had a comfortable stay here with my parents and grandma. The host too, is quick to respond and makes sure you are comfortable. I would definitely recommend this place.

The Flat

AnnaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Nikki’s place is immaculately furnished and prepared for guests. We travelled with two kids and one newborn. In Nikki’s place there was enough space for everyone to play but also enough noise isolation for the little one to sleep. Food from Jojo’s is delicious and having it delivered to our house was a true cherry on top of an incredible service! We’d love to come back one day.
