Beach Retreat - the perfect seaside escape.

Beach Retreat is a chalet-style beach house, a comfortable and cosy place to unwind. All-round views of seaside and countryside. Relax in a deckchair on the raised decking or in the private beach garden; stroll along the beach to Whitstable with its boutiques, restaurants and busy fishing harbour. Ideal for walkers and birdwatchers, with the Saxon Shore Way and Oare Marshes Reserve close by. The cathedral city of Canterbury is just a short drive away.

Idyllic chalet in beautiful Seasalter
This tasteful and well appointed chalet with great facilities is very close to the seafront, which you reach through a nice back garden. Swimming here was great as the shelf is quite steep so you get a good amount of time either side of high tide. The place itself is a pleasure to stay in and we can't wait to come again.

What a fabulous beachfront cottage! We were there for a week and enjoyed every minute. To watch the sun rise at one end of the horizon and set at the other with an uninterrupted view is truly superb.The cottage is well equipped and in an excellent location. Whitstable is only a 5 minutes drive. If you want to eat at the nearby Sportsmans restaurant, book well in advance though as it is Michelin starred and very popular with the DFL!

From the moment we arrived we knew we would be booking again in the near future. From the beautiful, cosy chalet to a location to die for (sand, sea and endless sky to the front and a nature reserve behind) it was everything we wished for.

Lovely beach hut. Much more spacious than it looks in the photos. Very well equipped, extremely comfortable bed. And best of all the view is fantastic. We could sit there for hours just watching the water and the boats. Very relaxing.

Perfect - quiet - comfy - clean - amazing sunsets and plenty to do in Whitstable which is walkable for walkers along the beach- took 45 mins. We shared with our 10 year old granddaughter- she loved her little room and the beach. Warning you will gain weight in Whitstable - amazing food everywhere.

Perfect seaside retreat
Lovely house right on seashore. Photos do not do it justice. Well equipped and very clean. The double doors and sofa are perfectly placed for watching the sea and sky on chillier evenings. Lovely relaxing week, with the tide kind enough for a morning swim.

A Real retreat
Cosy chalet within a good walking distance to Whitstable. We walked there and back for lunch, a wander and a nose at the beachfront properties. Very relaxed atmosphere all round. The beach isn't perfect due to its geographical situation. Brilliant access and views to the beach from the decking and from inside. Outside space off the decking is "natural".

A little gem on the south coast
The beach retreat is wonderful. It was very clean and cosy, everything you could want was there. The view is outstanding whether you are outside watching/listening to the sea or watching the sunset or snugged up indoors with a cuppa. It was so relaxing - thank you Malinda for sharing your little gem, I hope to return soon x

Perfect escape from real life
Would definitely return in better weather. No negatives except my partner is 6ft 2" and the bed is simply too short - and too narrow just a small double and he fell out of the bed on the first night and then had to lie at a diagonal so we did not sleep well. The foot board is an issue for tall people. A larger bed would transform the experience. Body wash and other toiletries would have been useful too as I wrongly assumed they would be there... luckily my partner brought some. Coffee as well as the tea provided would also be a nice touch as we don't drink tea. Not a deal breaker just a suggestion. Overall it was perfect for our needs. Bring your own bluetooth speaker if you want to listen to music. Thank you for a lovely stay x
