Family-friendly vacation rentals in Botany Bay

What a hidden gem of a place! We feel so lucky to have found Stable Oak Cottages and to have spent New Year there with our family celebrating our sons 18th. The place was gorgeous and the hot tub such a treat! The alpacas were great entertainment and the luxurious little touches from bath robes and sliders, to home baked bread and muffins were just wonderful. Highly recommend.

I can’t recommend Lisa’s place enough. We had a different air bnb booked which cancelled on us 2 days before our trip. We were so pleased to find Lisa’s lovely home and we are pleased our original one cancelled! The house is really large and spacious, lots of room for our group of 10. Rooms were comfortable and all facilities were more than adequate for our group. Lots of seating inside and out, lovely hot tub and a lovely sunny garden. The house is on a quiet estate with ample parking. Lisa communicated really well and check in was easy. Would highly recommend

Wow! We had a truly wonderful weekend at the Log Cabin, we didn't want to leave.. it is the perfect place to relax and recharge with uninterrupted beautiful views, total privacy and peace & quiet. As a family of four with our dog, the cabin suited us perfectly, the en suite bathrooms in each bedroom were a fantastic bonus. The hot tub was amazing and we enjoyed a lovely walk in the surrounding area. Thank you Andrew, this was the perfect place to spend my birthday weekend!

This is a lovely Air BnB that we really enjoyed. The rooms were comfortable and clean, the kitchen well-equipped, and the easy walk to the beach and canal all very manageable with our large group of children! We even got into the sea! We drove to Dover Castle for a brilliant day out and did the same going to Canterbury, both terrific expeditions. Lots more to do in the area. The hosts were very good at communicating with us when we needed anything, even though it was the Easter weekend, and the instructions for the home are very clearly laid out. Good wifi, lovely garden, and all ideal for our holiday!

What a beautiful cottage! Exactly like on the photos, very charming. Surroundings are stunning, hot tub was a treat. The kitchen is very well equipped with anything you might need. Beds were comfortable and cozy. The conservatory was great to just sit and play board games and have lovely meals, was nice and warm and toastie in there and the views!! Pauline’s communication and response times were excellent, very friendly and accommodating. All I would suggest, if possible is perhaps to think of some sort of covers/shelter from the cold/wind by the hot tub. It was very windy and we still wanted to enjoy the hot tub, but it got very cold whilst inside. Some sort of coverings will work a treat. Pauline suggested some great pubs and things to do in the area. All and all my friends and I had a lovely stay. Thanks Pauline!

Booked the lodge for my parents as Christmas present, and it was great experience for them, they loved every minute of the trip. The hosts was superb and very welcoming, and made my parents feel so comfortable throughout the duration of the trip. Would highly recommend and will book again.

We had a wonderfully relaxing stay at Nina’s place: my wife and I, and two young children. The place is spacious and beautifully furnished. We particularly loved the kitchen-dining area for preparing and enjoying family meals, the comfortable bedrooms, and of course, the hot tub. Our first time in Rye and we are very impressed. The history and natural beauty of the area are more profound than we realised. Can’t wait to return.

We stayed with a family of 8 people and a baby within walking distance of the cap blanc nez. Very cozy cottage where everything was provided. You could order coffee cakes for the next morning at the concierge, but in addition to the cottage there is also a shop of the campsite. On the way to the cap is also a cozy sun terrace. Definitely recommended as a stay!

a lovely place to stay was perfect and everyone were pleased with it. would highly recommend staying here great hosts

We had a brilliant stay at Nicola’s house. It is beautifully done and very clean. Easy to find and get in with the lockbox. Amazing location for Whitstable high street and the beach. Would highly recommend!

Great place to stay out of the hustle & bustle of Whitstable but a gorgeous walk in along the beach / coast walk - flat and easy for all. Really enjoyed staying in this area - lovely houses and beach feels very private. Plus the house is 3 houses down from the sea and upstairs bedrooms have great seaview. Very sociable space - 4 couples stayed and we had so much room to cook, eat & sit and the garden is a bonus.

We booked The Crow’s nest as we were attending a Wedding in the Town Hall with the reception at The George. Fantastic location in between both. The property is absolutely stunning, three super comfy beds and plenty of space for three of us. Kitchen was well stocked which was lovely. The products used were also lovely, soap and shower gel etc. Thank-you so much for a lovely stay.

Bryan and Katy were very hospitable - gave us tips on walking routes and good pubs nearby. Their garden is open to the cottage too, with lots of wild garlic and bluebells in the woods. The cottage is perfect, very cosy, comfy and private. Our dog loved it, he felt very much at home. The homemade bread and jam was a nice touch too.

This was our second time at The Stable and it didn’t disappoint. Clean, very comfortable and some luxurious touches. Great area for things to do, right by the sea but still peaceful and relaxing.

Beautifully positioned for a break away by the sea. The house is small but incredibly charming and there is so much to do in Whitstable and beyond on the Kent coast. Whilst parking provided us with a bit of a headache, that is a small price to pay for the change to stay in this hidden gem and Amanda was really helpful and responsive.

We booked Dani’s house to have a few days away with our 4 young granddaughters. The house was perfect. Very well equipped with lots of board games for the girls. We ate in every day and the kitchen/dining room was great for big family meals. The house itself is really pretty in a private, small estate, that is very quiet. It’s cosy and homey inside with lots of personal touches. The bus stop is just round the corner on the main road. The beach is about a 5 minute walk the other side of the main road. However the climb up the dunes takes a little longer…they almost did nanny in 😂. But it was absolutely worth the climb! Beautiful, never ending beach. There is an easier walk onto the beach next to the car park further down. Dani was very helpful at all times. She should be very proud of her lovely house. Anny London

Lovely place very clean and cozy. Hot tub was great also very clean. Love the little touches with the eggs and orange juice. Will book again in the summer when the pool is open thanks for our stay.

Nice stay! Comfortable beds, clean rooms, thoughtfully laid out, well equipped, and so close to great walks and heritage sites. The kids loved the indoor pool. The chalet is probably meant to be enjoyed best in warmer weather but Neil provided enough space heaters to keep warm. The electricity is run on coin meter- took about 6-7£ for 2 days in February, could probably get away with half of that in warmer months.

Larissa's place is wonderful and provided the perfect space for our needs. The garden is HUGE and access to the hot tub was a bonus too. The accommodation was well appointed with everything we needed and very homely. We had a very warm welcome and I would highly recommend this place to others.

I must admit I was somewhat worried after booking and reading previous reviews but my worries were unfounded. the chalet was lovely and I didn't think it was dated. the kitchen had everything we needed, the chalet was homey and comfortable. There were extras like a clothes horse to hang wet towels and costumes, games, hand soaps and cream etc. My only slight niggle is that wifi isn't included. Regardless, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Lyn's chalet and would stay again!

The caravan was the biggest and most luxurious caravan we have stayed in. It was better than described, very well equipped, and the best location on site - very peaceful and great views, we loved watching the sheep! If we come back to Parkdean Camber Sands again, we are booking this caravan!

The accommodation is exactly as described in a great location with sea views. Perfect for families as well as couples or individuals. Having a sea view is lovely and it is within walking distance to the beach.

Fantastic location, beautiful and comfy house. Perfect for a large family get-away. Games room was good fun and the garden was perfect in the sunshine. The pebble beach is just a few minutes walk away and access to the Cliff walk is easy as well.

We enjoyed a wonderful long Easter weekend in this charming cottage. The space was cozy and perfectly appointed, lots of old charm - original cottage was built in 1550! - and special touches that delighted our children and made us feel like we were in quite a magical little space. The gardens are beyond gorgeous and just a lovely space to sit in the sunshine and watch our children play. It was a wonderful weekend filled with children’s laughter, bird song and cozy nights by the fire as a family. Thank you Tim & Maite for sharing your gorgeous cottage with us. The children are already asking we come back soon!
