Lovely place with parking and just a few minutes walk to the beach. The rooms are very comfortable and the kitchen open and airy. Perfect for friends or a family stay. The garden is also great for bringing a dog along. We had a wonderful stay here and will definitely return.
Beach Retreat was a lovely bright clean stylish bungalow, with all our needs catered for. It was a very comfortable stay and a pleasure to return to after a days exploration The host Marian, was friendly helpful and quick to respond to our needs and questions.Located close to all amenities, easy driving and walking distance to Whitstable.The nearest lovely beach of Tankerton was very close by and a joy to walk along, not overcrowded and a very large expanse of coastline. The little high street of Tankerton was very charming with many bars and restaurants also tea and coffee shops. A truly relaxing place to stay on a lovely stretch of the Kent coastline.Would thoroughly recommend to friends and family and will definitely be booking this bungalow again.
Lovely clean property in a quiet location but within walking distance of everything we needed.Spacious living space - we were in the area to spend Christmas with family but were able to easily host them on one evening.Good sized garden, fully enclosed so safe for the dog.Would definitely like to stay again - think it would be great in the summer.

Beach Retreat
This property is nice but not a five minute walk to beach more than 20 minutes for people less mobile. Nice property quiet and parking.
Bathroom could do with some updating especially the bath panel.
