Coastguards Beach House, a beautifully renovated 1875 Coastguards cottage, offers the perfect coastal retreat at Jury's Gap. Experience breathtaking views of both the sea and the marshland designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, all while being just steps away from the beach and a short distance from the charming village of Camber and the historic town of Rye. Inside, you'll find a cozy log burner, comfortable lounge, and modern kitchen, making it the ideal location for a relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Dining & Lounging

Coastguards Beach House has a contemporary and sociable open plan layout downstairs, ideal for enjoying the company of your holiday group. A log burning stove warms the space and sets the scene for relaxing with a good book and a glass of wine.

The newly equipped kitchen is fully stocked, with a breakfast bar and farmhouse dining table for planning the day ahead. For ingredients that are fresh as it gets, take a quick drive to Rye for seafood fresh from the boat and Romney marsh lamb from the local butchers. Talk to Beside the Sea for our recommendations!

Bed & Bath

Upstairs you'll find a beautiful, modern, family bathroom and two bedrooms.

The large, comfortable master bedroom has a double bed with views of the sea, coastal garden and adjoining coastguard cottages.

A family bathroom includes wash hand basin, w.c and a raised shower bath with screen, providing you a coveted choice between a relaxing bubble bath whilst stargazing, or a refreshing shower with a view of waves lapping the shore.

The second bedroom has two 3ft beds and a single fold away bed with un-spoilt views over the marsh. This room also benefits from an en-suite shower room with marsh views.

Outdoors

The cottage has a fully enclosed south-facing and quiet garden, the site of many relaxing holiday evenings after exploring historical sites, walking the marsh, and playing in the waves. The beach is just steps away over the seawall, with a paved boardwalk spanning its length for easy walks and jogs

Throughout 2021 and 2023 the Environment Agency (EA) will be working on improving the existing coastal defences between Jury's Gap and Dungeness and so will be utilising the compound to the right of the cottages (the area with the green containers on the photo) this will mean that the construction vehicles will be using the promenade to access the ranges on the MOD land.
