About this property

Broadstairs -stunning large family Victorian house, sleeps 8 close to the beach

Sunshine Villa is a large Victorian house that has recently been lovingly restored to a high standard. Two reception rooms, dining room for 8 and a fully fitted, modern kitchen create a spacious, airy home which is ideal for large groups or families - who need space while on holiday by the sea. We use hotel bed linen - beautiful white linen & fluffy white towels.

The south facing Moroccan themed courtyard with seating is a tranquil place to relax after a day on the beach.

Each bedroom is carefully decorated to create a relaxing environment for our guests - 2 bathrooms / a separate WC is ideal for large groups.

There is a 'play room' for children which includes, TV and a box of fun dressing up clothes, lots of books and games.

Golf is only a putt away at the North Foreland golf course or mini golf is 5 minutes away. Great coastal bike and walking trails. Sailing clubs. There's something for everyone in Broadstairs - old or young. Our pictures say it all.

Surrounding areas: With fast rail links to Ashford International and Ebbsfleet International, Europe is easily reached on Eurostar. The port of Dover is only 30 minutes drive away where you can hop on a ferry to France. Don't forget your passport!

Great stay at Sunshine Villa

We hired for a week, and the three families (6 adults, 3 small children) gathered for a 60th birthday. The house is beautiful: light and airy, plenty of space for our group, two bathrooms and v comfortable beds; and the location in Broadstairs is perfect. Close to everything but just slightly removed so nice and quiet. The yard is on the small side, but that wasn't an issue for us, especially as the house is so close to the beach, and the slightly restricted parking (3 cars) didn't effect us. Would highly recommend, and will stay again.

Lovely house!

Our three-generation family had a wonderful stay despite the ropey weather! The house is so welcoming, and the shabby-chic style was definitely to our taste. Everything was spotless and in working order. Our kids were a little too old for the toys and games in the small upstairs room but this is a lovely addition for young children. Location is fantastic. Only five minutes walk to the beach, just a few metres from the main street (very close to two great Fish & Chip shops and on a quiet street. We all thoroughly recommend the property for large family groups or friends.

We really enjoyed our stay but the fact that one toilet was out of service and the beds have seen better days was a shame. A spruce up of the kitchen would make it wow!

Gorgeous holiday home

Stayed for 4 nights. 7 of us ranging from 68-15. We had an amazing time away and we were very lucky with with the warm sunny weather. House was clean, well equipped and very comfy. We took advantage of the short walk (10 mins) to the train station an visited Deal, Margate and Canterbury. Very reasonable priced tickets and short journeys. We had a memorable family break away and would come back.

Beautiful home for two families with young children

We were two families with three children under 5. The house was absolutely lovely and had everything we needed for a short break, including plenty of crockery and utensils for cooking a large breakfast and evening meal for 8. The chidren’s play room was a fantastic bonus and had plenty of things to keep the kids entertained. The location is absolutely brilliant. So close to the lovely beach, restaurants and station too. Having a space to park the car was also really handy and allowed us to drive to Margate, Botany Bay and Ramsgate. The owner really has thought of everything! We would definitely like to stay again in the future.

Ein wirklich gemütliches Ferienhaus

Es war schön in dem Haus Urlaub zu machen. Es hatte alles was man brauchte und wollte. Ein paar Kleinigkeiten waren nicht perfekt, aber wer findet nichts zu meckern. Es ist ideal gelegen. Ein kurzer Weg zum Strand oder zu den Geschäften. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit hier.

Fabulous home, perfect location!!!

Me and my brother stayed for three nights in this fabulous house! I love the fact it has a drive so no fighting for a parking space or paying extortionate parking prices. I have a Q7 and it fit ok it just poked over the drive a little but it is a big car! The house had absolutely everything you could possibly want/need, even an outdoor area. I love all the traditional features. I love the fact it's in the heart of Broadstairs, close to shops, restaurants which we dined in every evening. I would recommend the new Greek restaurant and American Grill! Food was outstanding! The Chinese restaurant was lovely too. I would most definitely stay again!!!!! Janette the owner is speedy at answering questions, fantastic communication. Thank you again Janette!!!!!!
