This is a fantastic hidden gem!
The location is just amazing! Having that direct access to the beach really makes it something special. And the property itself was so clean and beautifully decorated.
The hosts are fantastic too, communication was easy, they were very helpful and accommodating, giving us excellent recommendations for places to eat and even provided a bed, bows and treats for our dog!
We would highly recommend booking….sitting and watching the sunset over the sea on your own private deck was just magical!…we will definitely be visiting again! -
Highly recommend
Great direct sea view accommodation, comfortable & spotlessly clean, well equipped if you want to self cater with excellent cafe pub restaurant’s within walking distance or a short drive. Coastal footpath has direct access to this property so offers great easy walking / cycling ,added bonus of parking on site. Would highly recommend if you want to take the world in from the decking or explore Kent.

You can’t get better views of the sea..
What a beautiful find! You can’t get better views of the sea and the decking area was so dreamy to have your meals at looking over the beach. The apartment had everything you could want including lots of cooking appliances, which was so handy as we just wanted to stay there the whole time!
