You couldn't wish for a more beach themed coastal property stunning
We arrived for a weekend , two families and two dogs and we had and amazing time. Absolutely everything is catered for, thought of and loads of little extra touches are provided. The communication was super efficient and helpful above and beyond. We thought the location was brilliant, just a short walk to the beach. The layout is just perfect for two families and we actually had 9 of us which they willingly accommodated . A must have property to visit and we will definetly be hoping to come back . The beach was just paradise for us , the kids and the dogs! Thank you so much for sharing your home.

Wonderful weekend!
The property is fantastic - 7 of us stayed on a girls’ weekend away and it was perfect for relaxing and spending time together. The location is great for the beach and a walk into Rye. Shame the gallivant was closed on the Saturday, I’ve enjoyed their cocktails on previous trips!
The owners kindly let us have a late check out and responded to any communication very quickly.
Would thoroughly recommend the house.

Perfectly positioned property, really homely and clean
Had a great weekend at Mariners Moon, beautiful weather (for late September) so really got to appreciate the expanse of Camber beach which literally is a short stroll away. The property is clean, comfortable and in a lovely quiet location. The property and local area information provided in advance was really helpful including some excellent recommendations for restaurants and things to do! All in all a great stay. We will definitely book with Beside the Sea Holidays again!

Sehr schönes Haus, kommen gerne wieder.
Sehr schönes Haus. Liebevoll eingerichtet. Alles da was man braucht. Die Kinder liebten es draußen zu spielen und die Eltern die Vollausstattung des Hauses. Die Väter liebten den Grill. Das Haus war für uns, 2 Familien mit insgesamt 3 Kindern, groß genug. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Wonderful property
Our group of 7 really enjoyed our stay here. There was lots of space and the house was beautifully furnished. Location is great with the beach being only a few minutes walk away. The property has all the mod cons you could want whilst retaining a real seaside charm. We would highly recommend.

Ein wunderschönes Haus an einem beeindruckend schönem Platz
Sehr ansprechend, geschmackvoll und hochwertig eingerichtet, und in kurzer Entfernung zum Sandstrand: Nie hatten wir (eine Familie mit vier erwachsenen Kindern) ein idealeres Haus. Auch die Küche - wir kochen immer selbst und recht anspruchsvoll - war gut ausgestattet, die Betten haben erstklassige Matratzen, alles ist sehr sauber und wie neu.
Die Kommunikation mit der Agentur war sehr freundlich und professionell, alle Informationen ermöglichten ein leichtes Auffinden und sich Zurechtfinden.
Alles in allem: Eine super Empfehlung für Englandurlauber!

Great location, exactly as described
Had a relaxing long weekend at the end of April with friends (4 adults and 4 children) at this cottage which is exactly as described. The location is fabulous within a short walk of the amazing beach and a short drive from Rye.
The house was well presented, comfortable & sufficiently equipped for two families. Booking was straightforward and the manager visited us on the first day to make sure everything was in order. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect Holiday Cottage
Me and my husband stayed at Sandy paws for the weekend with our dog Benjy, the cottage was immaculate and had everything we could possibly want - absolutely perfect for our weekend at the seaside with our dog! The weather was great so we spent plenty of time on the beach - which Benjy loved! We will definitely come and stay again and will be recommending Sandy Paws to all our friends! Thank you!
