Beach Lookout - Direct Beach Access - NO Guest Fee
Beach Lookout is a charming one bedroom apartment with direct access to the famous blue flag "Viking Bay" in Broadstairs and unprecedented panoramic views of the bay and sea from the balcony. You have the pier/harbour arm directly opposite and watching the sun rise whilst laying in bed through the balcony doors is amazing (I have uploaded a photo). You can sleep with the doors open in the summer and the sound of the ocean crashing against the shore is one awesome soundtrack!

This 2nd floor apartment sits on the beachfront, within the towns popular conservation area, and with unbeatable sea views from every window. Enjoy the sea air with a stroll along the Pier, or the award winning High Street with its wonderful array of shops, both just a minute away. Recently refurbished with guests comfort leading design, so if a lazy day is preferred, just sit back and watch the boats sail past.

Also a First Class waiting room outside for extra space for group activities! Fantastic views of the countyside and river, log burner, central heating, she is set up for use all year around - magical!

SeaSeat, amazing sea view flat
SeaSeat is a gorgeous flat in a beautiful old building, overlooking the sea. We call it SeaSeat because it’s hard to drag yourself away from watching the sea in the daytime or marvelling at the sunsets at dusk. This special place is close to everything that Margate has to offer, it’s right in the old town where all the funky shops, bars and restaurants are and a couple of minutes from the Turner Gallery. Stylish and comfortable, light and airy ..a little seaside gem!

Sea-view Walpole Bay Writer’s Retreat
Loft overlooking Walpole Bay. On the 3rd floor, no lift! NO TV!!! This is a tranquil place with quirks - it's a boho hangout rather than five-star hotel.

A hanging chair so you can literally hang out. Ercol chairs, House of Hackney fabric.
