About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Harbour House has been lovingly refurbished and is centrally located, beach over the road a parking

Harbour House is a spacious house boasting 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and off street private parking situated opposite the harbour, beach and the road to the town.

You check in using a key box code. I am however local to the area, so if you need anything or have any questions, I am only a phone call away and a short drive!

The town is only a few doors away at the end of the road and the beach and historic working harbour is opposite. To keep the children entertained and adults alike, visit Whitstable Castle with a tea room, gardens and a playpark. There are plenty of restaurants to dine at and boutiques to shop in. Visit the beautiful Canterbury Cathedral or Herne Bay's Pier, both just a 20 minute bus journey.

You have access to all areas in the property apart from the wall cupboards on the 1st floor landing and the lock ups in the garden.

The modern kitchen is the perfect space to serve up some of the local delicacies in the spacious dining room off the entrance hallway seating 8-10 guests. After a hearty meal relax in front of the log fire in the separate living room. Conveniently there is a ground floor bathroom with a newly fitted shower suite; great to rinse off after a day at the beach.
On the 1st floor there are 2 spacious bedrooms; 1 double & 1 king size and a further single bedroom plus another bathroom with shower over the bath, making it a great space for families. Please note that there are a few steps down from the first floor bedrooms to access the single bedroom and bathroom.
Further up on the 2nd floor with views over the rooftops and harbour, you will find a twin bedroom and a fifth bedroom consisting of a double bed.

There is off street parking for 2 cars and there is free street parking on the road and surrounding roads. The nearest paid parking is Gorrell Tank Car Park. Whitstable Train Station, on Railway Avenue, is the cheapest car park if you don’t mind a 10 minute walk. You can view the charges on the Canterbury City Council website. Street parking can be limited in the high season but once you have parked up, you are close enough to walk into town, beach, shops etc.

You can also visit the 'Just Park' website to find out where to park in Whitstable.

There are frequent buses running from Whitstable to Herne Bay and Canterbury. You will find bus stops along Harbour Street, High Street, Oxford Street etc.

The trains from Whitstable station will take you to Ramsgate or further afield to London. Whitstable Train Station is about a 10 minute walk to the town centre.

Whitstable Taxi services are available for short fares or airport runs.

The nearest airports are in London and the nearest Ferry port is in Dover.

No smoking.
Please refrain from letting pets upstairs and on the furniture.
Please keep a noise to a minimum after 10pm to respect the neighbours.

Please note that the traditional ceilings are low in the 2nd floor bedrooms so tall people may need to watch their heads!
The front garden is a large private gated paved courtyard with seating on a decked area and has space for 2 cars.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden.
Self parking (subject to charges) is available onsite.

Great location, nice place in need to a little tlc
I really liked the bedrooms and the size of the property for 9 of us was perfect... The location and driveway were so convenient, litterally across the road from all the amenities. The property isn't perfect.... The bathroom and downstairs showeroom are very poorly finished and as a consequence have exposed wall, sub flooring and chipboard. There is also a substantial problem with mold in the showroom as there is no extractor (though weirdly a hole has been cut in the tiles to accommodate one). The kitchen is also tired and probably in need of replacing entirely, with mold around the tiling, the sink not secured to the worktop and some of the units are blown from water ingress. All 3 rooms at the very least need to be resilienced. There's also damp coming through some walls in the downstairs where the plaster is peeling. There bare floor boards could do with some runners up the stairs and rugs as whichever room you're in at the time, you can hear ever footstep on every floor (and It'll warm the place up). Overall this is a great place and lovely, lovely house but it isnt really up to a holiday rental standard in my opinion and that being the case wouldn't recommend it as it stands.

Really nice property in a great location. Owners were very quick and helpful when replying to queries. The property is quite loud with kids running about due to wooden floors throughout but otherwise all was great.
