Coastal garden flat with parking. Pet friendly! Only 2 minutes from the beach!

The way the place set up and waiting for us, made us feel so welcomed. Our sweet Fibi (dog) so appreciated her little ball and I was very thankful for the dog waste bags that were set out. We forgot ours, so thank you! Although I brought everything that would be needed to stay in a vacation rental, it was so impressive to find a place that was fully equipped with everything a person could anticipate needing.

Sunny aspect. Short walk to beach. Good fish and chip shop in the village. Dog friendly. Good communication with Nikki. Would recommend

The property is a one bedroom flat. The bed was comfortable, the flat was laid out well, and it included a fully equipped kitchen and a washer/dryer. The bathroom included a shower with a pebble floor that was really neat in that it was a non-slip surface. The owners included regular staples like tea, coffee, sugar, and other items to make staying there very easy. The location is great and like it said, about two minutes from the beach. The owners included a book with local attractions and restaurants and detailed instructions as to the property. All was very useful. We had two good meals at The Providence Inn and The Ship Inn seaview restaurant, just down the street from the flat. We didn't use the kitchen except to make cereal and coffee, but there is a small local grocer down the street who has just about everything that you need if you wanted to use the kitchen. His prices are very reasonable, too. This property in Sandgate was an excellent location for our sightseeing at the Battle of Britain Museum, Dover Castle, Canterbury, and Sandwich. We highly recommend the Coastal Retreat to anyone coming to the area.

We felt very comfortable here, and it was one of the nicest vacation rentals we've ever stayed in. Unfortunately, there were problems with the heating on the first day, so we were a bit cold, but Nikki took care of it the next day, and with the help of a portable heater, we were able to start our vacation off right. Nikki was even kind enough to refund us for the first night. 6 stars!- Superbly equipped kitchen- Spotlessly clean- The parking space was too small for our car (4.95 x 2.14 m), but we were able to park in the paid parking lot a 3-minute walk away.

Nikki is a fabulous host!

Perfect for my visit ! I’m on my own and have a small well behaved dog! Everything was catered for during my stay! I could have been in the south of France. ( the weather was brilliant)

Overall it was nice. The parking was a bit tight, but we figured it out. The kitchen was well equipped. For Americans a “how-to” for washer would be appreciated.

Excellent apartment. Had everything we needed (and more),and dog friendly.The only issue is the car parking (this is due to cramped back streets in Sandgate and isn't unique to the property) Access to the property up steep steps. Our dog is an old boy and has to be carried; which wa make it difficult. Overall a happy stay and Nikki was communicative and responsive.

The coastal garden flat is a wonderful place to stay.Sandgate has so much to offer with so many places to eat.We especially recommend the Indian restaurant Green Spice and the Roma Pizza.John Dorey wine bar has excellent wines and owners and staff are very knowledgeable.There is a fantastic bus service to Hythe and onwards and also Folkestone onwards the other way.Fantastic promenade walks to the harbour arm in Folkestone and in Hythe the Dymchurch light railway is a great day out.We also went to Dover Castle which is amazing.The coastal flat is a wonderful place to stay and very quiet, hopefully you will love it like we do.

Great spot for a few days, all the amenities of home and free off street parking was a bonus.

The garden flat was perfect in every way! Located opposite the beach in Sandgate & a stroll to restaurants and cafes. The spotlessly clean accommodation provided everything & more for a wonderful carefree holiday.Nikki was the perfect host & very amenable to our sudden change of plans when a friend unexpectedly turned up.I would very highly recommend this place to anyone considering a holiday in Sandgate.

The perfect bolthole for a week away. The host had thought of everything to make the stay fabulous.

My husband and I decided to visit Kent because my family still live here.We stayed in Sandgate which I know well and we ate at the local Indian which was amazing.We ate and drank at the John Dorey wine bar.We also had a drink at the Docker.Sandgate is really a great place to visit in the evening it’s really busy.I can honestly say our visit was perfect.Our accommodation was so refreshing , it was perfect in every way.I would say, though it was perfect for us there are steps to the accommodation that maybe a guest with mobility issues might struggle a little but better at the front of the house.The accommodation has everything that you would need for self catering holiday.It’s cosy and warm and very clean.We are returning later in the year and I’m so pleased to have booked this little gem at the beginning of the year before it get completely booked up.Also a stones throw from the pebble beach and promenade.We did lots of walking and the weather was perfect.

Great flat in a good location. All exactly as described, including the steep steps.

My grandson loved the stay, I had difficulty with the steps, no-ones fault, I didn’t have leg problems when I booked our holiday, I too had a great stay.

Lovely flat , very comfortable bed, all in good order with fantastically equipped kitchen and nice shower. Everything we needed was there, and host was quick to answer any questions. Not really for older couples, due to steps down from parking at the back, and parking a little tricky (which host did point out) Back area looks rather down at heel when you arrive, which is a shame considering how nice the flat itself is.

We had such a great time again in Sandgate and of course the fantastic weather was a bonus. Nikki is a fabulous host and this makes the holiday stress free. We took the bus to Dover and spent the day at the Castle which was fascinating. Also enjoyed lovely walks along the Military Canal into Hythe and beyond. Thank you once again Nikki.
