Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Whitstable Harbour

A wonderful place to stay in town: bright and airy. Very close to all the shops, restaurants, with a great pub at the end of the road. Caroline was a wonderful host: the house was kitted out with everything we needed. We had a lovely stay.

Just back from a short stay. We loved it. Thank you to Erica and Pete for allowing us to share your home. We will certainly be back.

Communication with Caroline before booking & running up to our stay was quick, straightforward and clear. We loved her place; comfortable and extremely well equipped. The location was great too - we pitched up on the first day and managed to get a space in the street only a few doors down, and from then on we didn’t use the car until we departed; it’s very easy to walk to the high street (literally at the bottom of the road - a 2 min walk) and the coast (a further 3 min) and the train station (a 9 min walk). Loved Whitstable itself, and we were so lucky with the weather too. Thank you Caroline.

We would highly recommend. We had such a lovely weekend away at Fleur’s place. A very homely place with everything you need and short stroll from the train station and to the seafront. It was also great with a little one. Great communication throughout. Thank you !

We had a wonderful time at the home with its beautiful, cosy, interior making us all feel right at home from the beginning! The excellent location made everything so easily accessible, and Helen had so many great recommendations of things to do it made our trip even better than we hoped. Great value, great place, great host!

A great few days at the Lobster pot, fantastic location and wonderful hosts who were super helpful throughout our stay. Had a lovely time and hope to be back!

Ben and Katie’s cottage is a home from home, beautifully curated and very easy to feel relaxed. Ben’s clear instructions and quick responses made checking and settling in very straightforward. Very good local recommendations too. The location is perfect being only minutes walk from wonderful independent shops and restaurants and an easy walk to the beach. I travelled by train and it was only 10 minutes walk to the cottage. I also used the bus to travel to Canterbury which was direct and very good service. My daughter and 5 year old granddaughter joined me for part of my stay and also really enjoyed the cottage.

Our daughter was very recently diagnosed with a rare form of epilepsy. Due to her medication, we were unable to fly, which meant that we had to cancel our planned family trip abroad for her 1st birthday. We found Alex and Lucie’s listing and it seemed almost too good to be true! Somewhere that we could keep our youngest shielded, whilst also giving us a place to give our eldest a real feel of a holiday. The cottage is beautiful and immaculately kept. Everything about it is perfect. Alex and Lucie added additional personal touches, like a hooded towel for the little one and additional pool checks to ensure that she was kept safe, which we appreciated immensely. I’m not sure if it was me or our eldest that had most fun in the pool and the pool toys got plenty of use! We said within a few hours of arriving that we would love to return and we look forward to doing so in the future. Thank you so much for helping us to give our little ones (and us) exactly what was needed!

We had the most amazing stay at Paula’s flat. She had thought of everything for both us and our dogs! The flat is beautifully decorated with so many quirky bits and pieces to look at. Thanks for the dog treats and the yummy caramel shortcakes, a lovely touch too. Loved Whitstable too….. we can’t wait to come back very soon😊

I would highly recommend Anna’s basement apartment! Great space and she’s a very communicative host!

I was so impressed with this apartment, it was spotless, well located, fantastic sea view! It’s a short walk from the station, on the sea front. The kitchen is well equipped and there was ice in the freezer! Highly recommend.

Reviewing on behalf of my son Will- they were delighted with Helen’s place. All as described, great inside, good location and on street parking- in Whitstable, a real bonus! Helen shared a lovely pub recommendation which they enjoyed, responded quickly and was very helpful with arranging check in as convenient. Helen also retrieved a very eagerly anticipated artisan brownie for them that had got left behind!😊

Daniel and Erica's place is lovely, we stayed two nights with kids and it was a perfect base for exploring Whitstable, walking into town down the Crab and Winkle Way each day. They were super responsive, friendly and flexible, sending loads of great recommendations that were tailored to us (we came on the train so they gave great walking / cycling tips!). The flat is spacious, calm, comfortable, clean and homely - a welcome retreat from the busy centre of Whitstable. Highly recommended.

Found Helen to be a lovely sociable host , directions were great , communications and information on places to eat and other stuff we asked for was very very helpful. We paid a bit more than normal for the room as it was May Day Bank Holiday Weekend and also there was a Peter Cushing Convention on in town , but we were happy to pay this price not a problem at all as we knew from the start how much it was , and please remember anybody who reads this ok they may charge higher this time of year but please remember the times when they may struggle in bad months winter etc , bad weather etc etc - so no complaints about the charge at all. The place was spotless , clean , relaxing , appliances in kitchen , tv and dvd (never really got time to use them as out all the time - but for anyone else this would be ideal , also board games etc. Bathroom was the highlight - massive with a free standing bath and a massive shower ie you are not struggling to move - fantastic. Beds where very comfy.

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.

A great place to stay in walking distance to the beach as well as eveything in Whitstable and pubs, cafes and restaurants in Tankerton. Nice comfy bed and great easy layout

Stayed at Beth's place while in Whitstable for a wedding at the castle. It was super close to the castle itself, 15 minutes or so to the main shopping streets, and 5 minutes to the beach. The house itself is really clean and has everything you could need and more. It felt very homey and I think it is actually nicer in person than in the photos! Beth was also really responsive and everything was easy and well explained. A really great stay!

The host, Norman, was just so easy to communicate with. He answered several questions that I asked and provided the information that I needed. You are so close to the beautiful walking path along the ocean. The village has many shops and along the path near his place are markets to hike through and eat at. You have a lot of space with large ceilings.

We wrapped up an incredible three-week road trip through the UK with a two-night stay at Tom’s charming coach house flat—and it was the perfect finale. This beautifully appointed second-floor, two-bedroom retreat was ideally situated, just a short and scenic walk (less than 0.8 miles) from the heart of the Old City and the Canterbury Cathedral. With restaurants and groceries conveniently located within three blocks, and every imaginable amenity thoughtfully provided within the flat—including on-property parking and breakfast essentials awaiting us—it exceeded all expectations. The comfort, location, and attention to detail made for an unforgettable stay in Canterbury. Now I truly understand why this Airbnb is so “highly rated”! Tom’s hospitality was exceptional—helpful, informative, and always clear in his communication. A truly lovely experience from start to finish.

Great space for larger families with adult kids especially with one bedroom on lower floor and also having three separate bathrooms. View amazing. Relaxing airy feel. Big bedrooms. Will be back again.

we had a wonderful stay. Everything was perfect. Beautifully decorated, and so comfortable. Samantha was very helpful, and easily contactable. The views were amazing. great restaurants and bars in easy walking distance. we will definitely be back. Thank you Samantha for a lovely stay.

I really enjoyed my stay at Tara's flat. Exactly as described, with everything you need for your stay, the flat was very clean and well maintained. Easily walkable into the city centre, and handy for the wider Kent area too. Would definitely stay again.

Heather, Terry & Helen went above and beyond to help and make sure our booking was a success Piglet’s Penthouse is beautiful, with lovely little touches and attention to detail. The location is perfect and access to the harbour really easy. It was the perfect short break and we would absolutely come back if we can!

The views from the apartment are absolutely amazing, particularly at sunset on the balcony. The little gifts were a lovely bonus to enjoy during our stay, and the kitchen is really well equipped too.
