Family-friendly vacation rentals in Whitstable Harbour

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

We had an absolutely lovely time at Kate's place! The children loved the outdoor space and the location being so close to the beach was perfect for them to run off steam! The house was lovely and so well equipped for everything that we needed. We had a great week away and will certainly look at coming back again at some point! Simon and family

On arrival we immediately felt at home. The surrounding area was beautiful and the grounds were large and very child friendly. My grandson chose this area to do his 4.5Km charity walk during his time here. The jacuzzi was a big hit. The house was also large and accommodated 6 adults and five children between 5 yrs to 10 yrs. with ease. A modern kitchen was very well equipped with good quality items, it was very large and easy to work in, even the larder was well stocked with essentials. You could tell that Tim, our host, takes pride in the house, furnishing it with many William Morris fabrics, amongst others, tasteful art, plus original wooden features etc. Crisp linen and decent size bathroom towels. Tim, an all round lovely chap, popped in to welcome us with a gift of local produce from a local farm shop.....the raspberry jam was to die for. games and books were aplenty also. We are hoping to return again. I will, without a doubt recommend Tim's property.

We had such a fantastic stay here, the hot tub was a particular highlight! Lots of space and feels really secluded, but also really easy to get around and enjoy the local area. Charmian was a great host, really quick to respond and answer any questions but totally left us to it during the weekend. Would definitely recommend and would love to return!

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!

Incredible stay. The hot tub was incredible, the accommodation was clean and beautiful. I promise, if you stay here you will have the best time. nothing to complain about it was perfect. They gave us a welcome pack with homemade jam , eggs bread and crisps which was lovely. It didn't feel like things were added in for dogs, but more that cabin was built with dogs in mind. It made our stay so much more enjoyable. My terrier loved the closed garden and being able to rummage around in the grass whilst we relaxed in the hot tub. Had all the amenities you need and lovely and quite location. We did not actually see Andrew and Heather as we came away to the bolt hole to relax and didn't venture out much as out cabin had everything we needed. So for anyway one who what's to choose how much they see there hosts this place is perfect. However, if you need/want proactive host they can be that for you to and are very accomidating. They made sure we was ok throughout our 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.

Lovely property right in the heart of Whitstable really convenient for the beach, harbour, shops & restaurants. Very well equipped with lovely outdoor space. Fantastic choice for a weekend break. Thank you Maya

Clean and very well appointed cottage a few minutes walk from the high street and beach. Parking in the road is limited but there is a car park at the end of the street. We had a great time in Whitstable making the most of the dog friendly pubs, restaurants and shops. Would definitely return and stay again.

James is an excellent host. The accommodation also excellent. I can't even find a constructive criticism. From my three young children and I, an unqualified five stars!

What a fantastic birthday weekend spent at Mairead’s place! An amazing house - ideal for a family get together. We loved all the music references and decor! Kitchen was perfect for preparing group meals. The local area was great - enjoyed a walk to Broadstairs and an amazing meal at Botega Caruso. Will definitely be back x

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.

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.

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!

Simple, easy and cosy caravan with all the conveniences. Normally I’m Not fussed about WiFi but I had to work whilst I was there and having WiFi in the van was a useful touch. The place was clean and tidy and got warm quickly, perfect for a little autumn getaway.

Great house to spend time with friends for a 50th. Very close to Canterbury which has lots of great shops, bars and restaurants. Also close to Chapel down and a couple of stellar pub do lunch out dinner. The house was everything we needed it to be and the pool was perfect!
