My husband surprised me with a romantic break to this property and I have to say that I was desperately sad to leave it. Set perfectly in the heart of Whitstable, which I might add is charming, it was impeccably furnished and decorated. I always worry about staying in holiday lets, preferring hotels, just because of the cleanliness and standard of fittings etc, but this house was spotless. The bathroom and kitchen looked as if they had been newly fitted and the bed linen was clean and freshly laundered. I would definitely recommend this house and Whitstable as a town to any friends and relatives. So many quirky restaurants and shops and a fabulous beach. My husband booked us a table at a local michelin starred restaurant slightly further up in Seasalter. The memories of food that evening still make me salivate. It was also lovely to take in the sunset on the beach from outside the Neptune, which was only about 10 minutes walk away. I think maybe next year it might be my turn to book a nice weekend, but I think I'll come back here. Why try to book anywhere else when this place is so fantastic.

About the Whitstable Holiday Home
The Sea House has recently undergone a significant renovation to be your true home-from-home, with all the added luxuries you’d expect. Everything from underfloor heated Amtico flooring, a wood (gas) burning stove fireplace, Loaf furniture throughout, hand-crafted ash doors, complete Grand Designs-style garden makeover to the best of kitchen appliances.
Standing high above the ocean and the golf course, The Sea House offers a panoramic view of both the immediate area, the Isle of Sheppey to its left and often the coast beyond. Its proud, late traditional Victorian exterior contrasts with a bright, spacious, modern interior. This is a perfect pad for families, friends and couples alike, whether it’s for a much-needed break, a celebration or a breath of fresh air in which to have a staycation, do some work or write that book you’ve always dreamed of. It’s set in a conservation area in the coastal jewel of Whitstable, a small town rich in smuggling history, famous for its annual Oyster Festival, restaurants, music, art and water sports.
Living and Dining
There’s ample living space, making this a perfect retreat for those wanting their own space to spread out. The large living room is situated on the ground floor and can be divided into two, each with its own fire, affording a TV/relaxing area to the front and a play/reading/relaxing area at the back with French doors opening onto the garden. Both rooms have recently been renovated and furnished to include Loaf sofas and furniture. There’s a large wood-burning stove in the front living room (operated by gas), an old school record player and records, board games and throws galore. Everything you need to snuggle up and chill out.
At the rear of the ground floor is a very well-equipped, light and spacious kitchen, extending to the dining area with seating for 8. Here the impressive bi-fold doors open out onto the extensive Mediterranean garden, affording separate areas for space to play, lounge and eat.
The garden is divided by Moroccan planters. To the front there is a large Neptune dining table and chairs for more formal dining and to the rear there is a 6-person sofa, table and chairs for a more chilled out vibe. Between the living space and the kitchen/dining areas are a downstairs toilet and a utility area with washer/dryer. The entire downstairs floor area is basked in beautiful Amtico flooring and warmed by underfloor heating.
Sleeping
There is one large bedroom on the lower first floor with a cosy snug overlooking the garden; a twin bedroom and a second large bedroom with a super king-size bed and a view of the golf course on the upper first floor. Also on the lower first floor is a gorgeous botanically themed wet room.
The ‘piece de resistance’ is the stunning bedroom on the second floor where you can feast your eyes on the nearby sea, not just from the window but also from the free-standing bath and super king-size bed. This luxurious room also has a walk-in shower. You may never want to leave!
Parking
There is private parking for one car at the rear of the property plus on-street public parking outside the front of the house.
The Whitstable Area
Whitstable is truly a seaside gem, more like a village by the sea than a town. It’s the perfect place to try out water sports like kayaking, paddle boarding and sailing.
The town is renowned for its wide range of award-winning restaurants and coffee shops. A favourite is ‘JoJo’s’, situated nearby in Tankerton; (you’ll need to book quite a bit in advance) and Blueprint Coffee Shop on the high street. Whitstable has a wonderful working harbour, a selection of brilliant, independent stores and a small castle with stunning grounds.
Whitstable is situated about 7 miles from the cathedral city of Canterbury which makes a fab day trip. Famous for its oysters, the town has become a favourite holiday destination for many. Once you visit, you’ll be back for more!
