This stunning property has undergone a complete renovation, offering you a contemporary and stylish living space that is sure to impress. Located just a 4-minute walk from the beach. Additionally, being only 2 minutes away from the town center means you'll be surrounded by fantastic pubs, restaurants, cafes, and shops, ensuring you have everything you need right at your doorstep.

Seven Seas & Sea To Sky

It’s rare that a house in Whitstable has a garden this big, but that’s the bonus of being on the outskirts of town. True to any seaside sanctuary, there are deck chairs in the garden to soak up the sun and outdoor dining set up on rattan furniture. A big lawn allows kids to run free. 

Inside, the social space is huge. A mezzanine balcony and double-height ceiling in the open-plan living area created a sense of space and we love the boho and scandi-chic seating for all the family. A breakfast bar and kitchen island of raw wood mean there’s oodles of prep space and dining is at a rustic wooden table with bench-style seating. Bedrooms are massive, and kids will love the higglety pigglety layout of single beds secreted away beneath eaves and on mezzanine levels.

You’re on the outskirts of Whitstable, a twenty-minute walk (or five-minute drive) from the seafront where beach huts line the sand and fishing boats bob in the harbour. Here you’ll find plenty to see and do with fish and chip restaurants and ice cream shops galore. Outdoorsy types should hit the Crab and Winkle Cycle Way, right from the home’s doorstep.

Shells In The Garden

If you’re looking for a unique stay in the heart of Whitstable, this cosy shepherd’s hut is just the ticket. It’s a compact space that’s best suited to two guests, but two children can share the trundle day bed in the living area if you’re wishing to travel as a family. Due to the size of the home, the kitchenette is appropriately petite, but you’ll find plenty of restaurants nearby. And though this home is located to the back of the owner’s garden, you’ll have a private entrance and your own outdoor space – ideal for morning coffees in the sun before heading out for a day at the nearby beach. 

The Old Shipyard

Set just back from the pebble beach on Whitstable's Island Wall, this three-bedroom former fisherman's cottage offers a coastal haven just a short stroll from the town's vibrant centre.

On the ground floor, there's a cosy sitting room, plus a large open-plan kitchen and dining room that opens out onto a pretty cottage garden via retractable bifold doors, creating a large sociable space that spans inside and out. Head upstairs and you'll catch tantalising glimpses of the sea from the bedrooms on the first and second floors.

Wander less than five minutes from your front door, and you'll find yourself on Whitstable's High Street, lined with cool coffee shops, independent boutiques and sumptuous restaurants, some of which have been serving seafood for over 150 years.

Enjoy safe bathing and sunset promenades along Tankerton's Blue Flag beach, a little over a mile away, while the historic city of Canterbury is just 7 miles away. Further east along the coast, the likes of Margate and Ramsgate offer burgeoning culinary and creative scenes set against a backdrop of endless sandy beaches and Victorian-era tidal pools, approximately half an hour away.

Oysters Can Dream

Minutes from the sea, this stylish house is the perfect base for a family holiday in Whitstable. The seafront is lined with beachy cafés, seafood restaurants and good old fashioned fish and chip shops. Build sandcastles and paddle in the sea knowing it’s just a three-minute walk back to this home if you forget the sunscreen. The home itself is pristine white with cosy furnishings. The snug living room is set around a wood-burner and there’s an ample vinyl collection if you want to set the mood with the record player. There are board games a-plenty and books for all ages scattered across the bookshelves. The breakfasting kitchen is big and bright, with glass doors that fold back to reveal the cute back garden where a picnic bench is brightened by stringed lights at night. Our favourite thing about this place is the claw-footed tub, perfect for a bath after a day on the beach.

Ice Cream By The Sea

Whitstable, with its pastel-painted shop fronts and shingle beach, is one of Kent’s prettiest seaside towns – and this whimsical home sits less than half a mile from the shoreline. Inside, it’s an eclectic blend of homespun comfort and understated luxury. Expect Egyptian cotton towels, bold licks of Farrow & Ball paint, a log burning fire to keep things cosy and premium quality mattresses. At this all-weather abode, you can get comfy in the vibrant living space when it's chilly out or spill out into your back garden for seafood barbecues when the sun shines.

Take advantage of balmy afternoons with a stroll down to the water. Brave the chill and go for a dip or retreat to the famous Old Neptune pub and watch on with a glass of your favourite tipple. When it comes to dinner, you’re a ten-minute drive from a Michelin starred restaurant and a two-minute walk to stellar eateries on the High Street, which you’ll find special discounts for in your welcome pack.

The Old Fisherman's Cottage

If you're dreaming of a coastal getaway, this stylish house in Whitstable is a good starting point for two couples or small families. Within walking distance of Tankerton Beach, Whitstable Castle and the town centre, it gets a big thumbs-up on location. You'll also find the Harbour Market nearby, where you can really embrace the laidback seaside atmosphere. And though the postcode first caught our attention, we also appreciate that the home is well-kept, bold and modern. The rooms may not be the biggest, but they are comfortable, and the living space's layout means maximum socialising. 

The Lazy Boat

This former fisherman's cottage has been given a new lease of life as a charming holiday home. Best suited to a couple and up to three kids, it's the perfect place to begin your adventures in the wonderful town of Whitstable. 

Step inside, and you'll feel instantly at home thanks to the cosy furnishings and warm colour scheme. There are quirky details dotted throughout the house – look out for the sweet octopus sketch, patterned tiles, and carefully curated antique pieces. On chilly evenings, you can light up the wood-burner and enjoy a home-cooked dinner of local seafood. Or, when the sun shines, head out to the courtyard and fire up the barbeque for a delicious grilled feast. 

From here, Whitstable Beach is just a five-minute stroll away, where you can paddle in the water and soak up the Kentish sunshine. There are plenty of quaint pubs and tasty restaurants to try – make sure you don't leave without tasting the town's delicacy, fresh oysters. And, if you fancy doing something a bit different, head to the Wildart Trail, a woodland walk adorned with sculptures – it's a fourteen-minute drive away.

Whitstable Oysters

The sea views overlooking the famous Whitstable oyster beds are the biggest draw at this weatherboard townhouse set just a pebble’s throw from the beach. The sweet balcony is a nice touch to catch the last of the day’s sunshine. Though one of the bedrooms sleeping four is on the cosy side,  with a king-sized bed and two singles – better suited to a small family sharing, we think. Make for bustling Harbour Street, with a myriad of independent shops, cafes and restaurants. And when you’re suitably refuelled, take the coastal path running to Tankerton with its rows of pastel beach huts.

One's Oyster

If you're looking for a quintessential seaside town cottage, this is for you. We love how the nautical theme runs through the whole home through artwork and decoration touches. Even the kitchen has a touch of bluey green. And all the while, the whole home is beautifully bright, cheerful, and inviting. It's the ideal place to spend a seaside getaway.

Mornings here are particularly lovely. The sunlight beams through the windows, reflecting on the walls, and invites you out onto the balcony. Breathe in that fresh air and enjoy the morning sun on your face. You wouldn't believe you're just a two-minute walk to the High Street. Whitstable's bustling High Street is lined with galleries, independent boutiques, one-of-a-kind pubs, beautiful restaurants, and more. It's the kind of place you could spend days exploring. 

Not only are you close to the High Street, but you're also just a three-minute walk to Whitstable's famous beach. In the warmer months, the sea is crystal clear and a lovely shade of blue. We can't guarantee it'll be swimming weather, but we do guarantee it'll be beautiful. Come dinnertime, there are many restaurants all of all kinds of cuisines to try out, or enjoy relaxed dinners at home.

Sandy Dreams

In the heart of the picturesque seaside town of Whitstable, this home is just steps away from the High St – lined with independent boutiques, art galleries and seafood restaurants – with the bustling Harbour Market and the beachfront just a few minutes further on foot. The ground floor has been opened up, making this home better suited to modern living. However, period features, including a cast iron fireplace in the main bedroom and sash windows, remain. Out back, a spacious patio and dining area is equipped with solar lights that flick on in the evening, creating a lovely space for alfresco dining over the summer months.

Eastern Oyster

From its stained glass entryway to its wood floors, crystal chandeliers and tall ceilings with their decorative mouldings, this home is as luxurious as it is welcoming. 

We love the living room’s cosy coal-effect gas fireplace and the kitchen’s terracotta floors, while the conservatory beckons sunny breakfasts before making your way out into the garden. A calm and serene space framed by leafy plants, this is the ideal spot for quiet reading while catching some rays and celebrating evenings over an aperitif or two.

The bedrooms, meanwhile, are the definition of boudoir chic, boasting window seats giving way to sea views and a telescope in the main bedroom to let you watch the roll of the waves up close. 

Speaking of getting a better look at the coast, walk just four minutes to Tankerton Beach or stroll along the water’s edge until you reach Whitstable Castle, nine minutes away. With countless seafood restaurants and independent boutiques on your doorstep too, there’s plenty to see and do from this jewel of a home.
