Just steps from Whitstable’s mile-long beach, this charming seaside cottage has room for large families or groups of friends, plus two small canine companions. Indulge in plenty of sea food, fresh air and coastal walks, and return to spend the evening relaxing together in your private courtyard or the sociable kitchen/diner.

Decorated in fresh, coastal style, this welcoming property offers a true sense of seaside relaxation. It’s set over three storeys and features an elegant kitchen/diner on the ground floor, equipped with everything required for holiday catering. Also on this level is the single bedroom, where there’s a day bed with a pull-out trundle, as well as a Smart TV – making this room an option for one or two people to spend time separately if they wish. Head to the first floor for the spacious lounge, where there’s plenty of comfortable seating and a Smart TV. One of the double bedrooms is also on this floor, as well as the family bathroom. Climb up to the second floor and you’ll find the second double bedroom, a twin (both with sloping ceilings that are low in places), and a shower room. When you and your pups fancy a spot of fresh air, there’s a small balcony with partial sea views that’s accessed from the lounge, plus a courtyard garden with a dining table, perfect for throwing some local seafood on the BBQ and spending a relaxed evening alfresco.

Explore the intriguing shops and fabulous places to eat that are dotted throughout Whitstable, and take your furry friends for a run on the beach – both West Beach and Seasalter (1 mile) are dog-friendly all year round. Explore the hiking trails at Blean Woods Nature Reserve, 6.5 miles, or head to Canterbury, 8 miles, for a tour of the historic cathedral (dogs allowed!).

Our stay at Key West was absolutely brilliant. The house was perfect for a big family birthday gathering, especially with parking onsite. The distance to The Neptune is the distance Id like to be to a pub at all times from now on! Marnie was really helpful during our stay and even allowed us to park a second car as she had another space free.

We stayed with 5 adults in the house and had a great time. The kitchen is well equipped, the location is great and the parking space is very welcome in busy Whitstable.

Excellent location. Homely feel. We were 6 adults and a child and it felt spacious enough.

Lovely location, very close to the beach and the shops but also very close to the neighbours so it can feel a little claustrophobic.

Lovely house though a bit of a tight fit for 6 adults. Probably the best location in Whitstable being a few minutes from shops, cafes, pubs and the harbour and obviously seconds from beach. The parking space was a bonus. The only negative would be no WiFi, although advertised as being available. When looking at other reviews for the house it seems Read moreto have been an issue since October so if important to you I would check before booking. Hide

A really lovely holiday let, with a lovely little garden and a balcony upstairs. You're right by the sea (not much of a sea view but very nearby) and 3 minutes walk to Whitstable high street. I would love to stay there again.
