Waterfront vacation rentals in Canterbury

Great place, brilliant location. We had everything we needed. Host had milk and butter in the fridge for tea, coffee and crumpets. Would definitely stay again. 5⭐

Fantastic visit! Great apartment! Brilliant Host! Everything was as described and my family and I had a fantastic weekend. The beach was right on our doorstep and we could not have asked for more. We will be back!

We had a fantastic stay at this apartment. The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to the pier and town centre, with plenty of shops, cafes, and restaurants nearby. The apartment was spotlessly clean, very spacious, and beautifully decorated throughout, creating a warm and relaxing atmosphere. It was also very family-friendly, with a great kids’ bedroom that our young children loved, and the host kindly provided a cot, which was a big help. Check-in was super easy, and communication from the host was clear and helpful throughout our stay. The apartment had everything we needed—from a well-equipped kitchen to comfortable beds and a lovely living area to unwind in after a day out. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area, and we’d happily stay again!

Lovely apartment with perfect view onto the sea. Good restaurants within walking distance. Nice spot for a few days recuperation!

Second stay at Wendy’s lovely apartment. The view from balcony,lounge & the bed is stunning. Will miss reading in bed & looking out to sea. There was work going on in the block & Wendy kept us informed and gave us the option to cancel after the usual time if we decided that the work would ruin our stay - it didn’t.. apartment super clean & comfortable. Coffee shop - Coast at the Granville theatre on the green opposite flat is great venue for coffee with a view. Lovely area, easy to get around walked most of the time but did get the Loop bus to Margate. If we come back to Ramsgate next year will definitely stay here again. Thank you Wendy.

We had a great stay at Vanessa’s place whilst visiting friends in the area. The location is excellent with spectacular views of the sea, and close to the great facilities of Sandgate. The flat was exactly as described and more spacious that the photos suggest. There was lots of nice touches that made the stay more comfortable. I would have no hesitation staying at Vanessa’s place again when visiting the area.

Another great stay at Mark’s place! I’ll never get tired of the view, and there are some lovely cafes in Cliftonville. The apartment was super clean and cosy, and so close to the beach!

We stayed at Eleanor's flat for a weekend getaway in Margate and loved it. Beautiful views and so close to the Old Town and all of its restaurants and shops. The flat was well equipped with everything you might need for a stay away from home and was very clean and comfortable!

We LOVE Helen’s house - it is in a fabulous location, spotlessly clean, exactly as pictured and so beautiful and comfortable. I would recommend Helen and her beautiful house to everyone. Thanks Helen for the bottle of champagne and chocolate you left for New Years Eve, such a lovely thoughtful gesture.

Becky's bungalow is beautifully decorated, alot of time and love has been put into making it a lovely space. Becky was responsive and friendly.

We had an absolutely wonderful week in this great property- the direct access to the beach is very special - and the house is a real home, furnished for comfortable living rather than rental. Lots of gorgeous walks near by - great golf course up the road, handy EV charging point 2 mins walk away, and Ashford designer shopping outlet 30 mins drive away.

Loved the house and location -very well equipped and very comfortable & spacious . Especially loved the balcony overlooking the sea-great for the sunset. Instructions for the oven & hob would have been helpful ! We had a lovely weekend, felt very at home .

We had a wonderful stay at Victoria’s beautiful beach property! We were 4 adults with 4 children and it was perfect. Plenty to do in the area, we went to rye and camber sands. House has everything you need for cooking. Plenty of fridge and freezer space and double oven. Hot tub was very much appreciated once the children were in bed!! Highly recommended

Our second stay here,just as nice as previously. The flat is always spotless with great facilities and a central location. Sue is a great host who provides you with all the information you need regarding the flat and the area itself.

Sheila’s house feels like a home the moment you step inside. It’s roomy and bright throughout. We all loved the place including the young grandchildren who spent ages in the garden amusing themselves. The kitchen is packed with masses of everything you could think of and as we cook this was brilliant. As all the adults have stressful busy lives this break was so relaxing, just what was needed. As a birder I highly recommend Pegwell reserve for a great walk and great birdwatching. Highly recommended.

Very last minute stay. Ally was great, communicative and friendly. House was ready for our arrival, all goodness and fuss free. Just what we needed to clear our heads from the city. Beach, sea and coastal path outside the door, along with the Zetland Arms (good pub grub !). Everything we needed. Recommended !

Wow! it's the easiest way to describe our whole stay. The apartment was fantastic, from the moment you stepped in, it felt like home. A place to unwind and relax. Everything is placed in such a lovely way that it feels like you put it there yourself it genuinely felt like our own home. The view from the balcony was incredible. Being able to sit there and drink a coffee looking out over the ocean was amazing. We really enjoyed our stay here and would love to come back again for another get away!! Thank you to Mark and Maxine for hosting such a fabulous apartment!

Such a great little find for us as we stay in Deal often. The apartment is bright airy and spotlessly clean. It is so spacious so more than enough room for everyone. Fantastic location right in the centre of Deal and on the seafront. Communication with Sue was great and check in was simple! Would definitely recommend and will definitely be staying again.

Lovley property, very warm, parking was an issue on arrival but soon sorted. Area is a bit rundown but location to the oldtown with plenty of nice pubs & restaurants is a short 5-minute stroll away. Perfect if you have a dog as the local beach is a 2-minute walk. Supermarket (Aldi) is 2-minute walk as are a few local bars & coffee shops.

We had a lovely time staying here for a few days during the Easter holidays. Perfect place for a couple to stay and make the most of Margate whilst also being slightly out of the busy town centre.

Had a wonderful stay. The place was beautiful and the bay window looking to the sea and sunset was perfect. Took so many sunset photos from the window! Everything felt fresh and clean. Comfy bed - slept really well. Great amenities- loved the coffee machine. Kitchen very well catered for - all utensils that you’d need. Great shower. Host very responsive Loved Margate old town. Walked from Broadstairs back to Margate - great walk with beautiful beaches. A wonderful few days. Thank you.

The place is as great as it is described, the guide provided is really helpful and the hosts were always responsive 🙂

Wonderful retreat which offered a sense of being private & slightly apart from busyness of Margate whilst being less than 2 mins walk from the vibrancy all Margate can & does offer. The accommodation was charming, welcoming, contemporary & full of vintage uniqueness plus offering expansive sea views via the front room/kitchen space & one of the bedrooms. Personally, we loved the walk up the original spiral staircase to the apartment but may be an issue if mobility needs to be considered. Access to excellent activities, events, shops, restaurants are within 3mins walk. It is a foodies delights re restaurants however there is a well-stocked & reasonably priced Aldi 3 mins walk away too. Free on-street parking directly outside accommodation also a bonus. Stephanie was communicative & responsive prior & during our visit with helpful support & suggestions. In all a lovely space to relax, recharge and reconnect. Thank you Stephane. Definitely will return & recommend!

Lovely place with unreal views of Margate. Check in is really easy and great for exploring - would definitely recommend.
