Waterfront holiday rentals in Kent

I think this is my fourth stay in this lovely flat. It’s the perfect place to stay. In a peaceful part of town with the most amazing views and, if you are lucky, the most extraordinary sunsets over the sea. If you are a swimmer it has the extra benefit of being very close to the stunning Walpole Bay sea pool. Swimming there are sunset is a wonderful experience.

Lovely house with spacious rooms and high ceilings. Good communication. Conveniently situated for coastal walks and is walking distance into the town.

Julie is an ideal host, very friendly and responsive. The static caravan is very well equipped with a kitchen, 2 toilets, one with shower, and a sizeable lounge /dining area. Would book again. David Maxwell

The flat was fantastic. I’m very picky about cleanliness, but I couldn’t find a single fault in that home, everything was very clean, and there were plenty of towels. Nothing was missing. White dominated the whole place. Loved it!! I would highly recommend it to everyone, and we’ll be back soon. PS: Vanessa, we’re so sorry, we couldn’t find a pen to leave you a note in the living room notebook, but I guess that’s a sign we’ll be coming back.

What a fantastic place - location is superb and right on the beach with short walks to the great restaurants, bars, and cafes of Marget. Amy was super helpful and responsive. Place was clean with stellar accommodations for both kids and adults. The decor is really impressive - love what they've done with this place. If you have a chance to stay here, don't pass it up.

Fantastic flat in an amazing location right on Viking Beach. Host was easy to communicate with and flexible (I got an earlier check-in than the listed 4pm). And they leave a fantastic welcome basket that included stuff like locally produced lemonade and crisps, coffee/milk and essentials like loo roll. The flat is very clean (though the carpet could perhaps have a deep wash in a couple of spots) and quiet at night. You’ll just be listening to the waves as they roll in 😃. Bed is super comfy and the bedroom and lounge are very homely. Bathroom was top notch with a walk in rainfall shower. I was woken one morning by the pub down the bay loading/ unloading beer barrels 🤣. But I simply woke up and sat on the balcony. Flat felt very secure as there is a door to the building, a front door to the flat then a further internal door you can lock. Fantastic location for town, Margate, Ramsgate and beautiful coastal walks. I stayed in this flat in 2017 and 2025 and will book again.

We enjoyed a lovely couple of nights at this flat - it was really spacious, comfortable, clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The Tassimo disks for our morning coffee was a lovely touch. It was great to be able to join the Viking Trail literally outside the door, and we enjoyed a beautiful walk along the coast. Mark was a great host, providing some wonderful recommendations of things to do and places to eat - there are some great restaurants in Margate! Definitely recommended for a short break.

Excellent value stay and perfect location for a trip to Ramsgate. Very communicative hosts made everything as seamless as possible. Great stay.

From the moment we stepped inside River House Rye we knew that we had chosen he right place ! A real home from home, but with a unique design that we simply wouldn't dare to do ... such a great place to stay and so easy to explore Rye without moving the car off the very spacious drive ! Globe pub very close by, provided ideal location to eat & refresh as did other places that Helen recommended. Even a little drizzle couldn't spoil our visit .... simply fantastic! We will definitely return 🫶

Jane was a brilliant host. Responsive, professional and very friendly. The cottage was clean, had everything you’d need and more! The pool and hot were definitely the highlight! Thank you for a lovely stay :)

Booked this for my Husbands 70th. 5 couples so, having a bedroom with en-suite for everyone was a real find. The location was superb, everything in walking distance. Sally provided recommendations for a dinner on the Saturday evening. We went to the Royal Hotel (across the road). It was a perfect w/e and the weather helped. We had sea views and right on the front. Cinema room in the basement was fab and we couldn’t fault a thing. Thanks Sally

Great host and a lovely place to stay! Highly recommend The Pilot Inn, friendly staff and great atmosphere!

Honestly, words can’t describe how grateful I am for Sheila and to be able to stay here to celebrate my birthday. Absolutely amazing communication!! So kind and friendly. The house was amazing and THE VIEW was incredible. I cannot recommend this place enough. I would more than come back here again. But if you’re looking for a sign to book this place, this is it!! Once again thank you so much Sheila for such an amazing stay! ❤️

Great location, overlooking the water. Very walkable to many restaurants and pubs. Reasonable walk from train station. Loved it!

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.

A really lovely and well equipped property in a great location. Ally was a wonderful host.

We've had such a lovely time at the flat, the panoramic sea views are stunning and the beds are very comfortable. Ella very kindly let us check in early and sent very clear instructions of how to check in as well as a great list of things to do nearby. It's up two flights of stairs but didn't feel too steep and the view was more than worth it. It was great being so close to Walpole pool plus the beautiful seafront walk into Margate. We hope to return!

Sue was terrific. She could not have been more accommodating when our party of 3 became 4 (to include a young grandson) and she provided us with cereals and goodies for him and a bed guard rail. Her lovely apartment is beautiful, light, airy and comfortably furnished with excellent quality appliances and fixtures/fittings. The beds were wonderfully comfortable. A superbly designed and appointed apartment. Thank you Sue. Our stay was short but perfect.

Great property. Pics don’t do it justice. We really felt at home. Super close to the beach and park for the dogs. So many amenities, even a spare toothbrush - which i had forgotten at home. Thank you for having us.

Amazing last minute stay! Amenities and extras were brilliant, had everything we needed and more. As for the flat itself, it was very spacious, homely and so much natural light. The views were the selling point and they didn’t disappoint! Nikki was a great host, responded fast and would do anything to make the stay special. Can’t wait to return!

The flat was in a great location and easy to walk to wherever we needed. Aside from having a beautiful interior, the views over the sea were also stunning. Edward also very kindly let us check in early which ended up being a big help, so thank you!

Great little pad over Ramsgate beach. It was peaceful, clean and easy. Everything described about it was true. We look forward to booking again.

phoebe was a fantastic host with great communication. the apartment is in a brilliant location very close to everything. on the days we wasn't out exploring until dark, we watched the sunset from the window. the views from the apartment are worth booking it alone!

Home from a lovely few days with my sister and elderly mother. The apartment was beautiful with everything you could ask for to make it like a comfortable home away from home. It was so lovely sitting on the balcony listening to the sea, such a gorgeous view! The hosts were always on hand and extremely friendly and helpful. All in all I would highly recommend. Thank you! X
