We fell in love with Deal, Debbie Harvey and all of the people we met in our almost 2 weeks there. This flat worked great for my wife and I. While a folding bed was available it would be hard to provide a private space for another adult or kids. Beach St is the road the runs along the beach. As such people are walking and driving by front room window, but you would never know it the ground floor apartment was very quiet. The view of the English Channel as great as well. The bedroom is in the middle of the flat off a connecting hallway and we never heard anything. The kitchen as the needed equipment with more cooking tools then we have found elsewhere. It also has a wall of windows that overlook the lovely but simple garden. Everything you need is just a very short walk away. The two grocery chain stores are 5-10 minute a walk with the train station just beyond the Sainbury's. High St. which is just across the parking lot from the flat has green grocers, bake shops, banks, etc. If you do not want to use a car this is the place. The remember this is a small village so beyond the restaurants and pubs High St. closes by 17:00 or 5 pm. The train gets you up and down the coast to the other seaside villages and farther, running almost every hour or more on business days. Walking and biking paths also run along the beach for as far as the eye can see.
