Lovely location and beautiful cabin, with all the facilities you need - backing onto the beach.Great support and communication from the host.Overall we had a great stay, but the neighbours played loud music until well after 3am on our last night and it did impact our time there. Not a fault of the host. No other reviews mention this - so might have just been our bad luck to have 2 nights of music.

7 days of bliss

We stayed 7 days, and I swam 6 of those days. The other day we rode our bikes almost to Reculver Bay and so had no energy for a swim! Beach Retreat is the most beautiful chalet and we loved every minute, especially the twice daily visit from the sea as it tapped the bottom of the gorgeous wild sea garden. We walked both directions on the beach, as well as the marshes across the road. We ate most meals on the deck - at least breakfast and dinner - and seeing both sunrise and sunset from that deck was pretty special. We had a very hot week and definitely made the most of it. Special thanks to Melinda for making our holiday one not to be forgotten!

Breathtaking view

We had a wonderful stay in Beach Retreat - the perfect escape from London life and truly memorable experience. The house was cosy and the view amazing. We loved sitting out on the decking and even had a swim in the sea at the end of the garden! Thank you Melinda for being very accommodating with our children and allowing us to check in early.

A beautiful bungalow right by the seafront with stunning views over the sea to watch the birds and nature go by. The bungalow has everything you need to spend a relaxing stay. It was the right size for my partner and I and our 11 yo son. Melinda was very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommended!

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.
