Fantastic stay in lovely property

A lovely joint family break. Great property with some lovely quirky features. So well equipped and the welcome pack and toiletries were very generous. Hosts very helpful. Loads to do nearby. Special mention for the punt trips in Canterbury, Margate and Whitstable. Wish we’d had longer.

Lovely stay in Herne Bay

This is in an absolute lovely position he only problem is the parking but we managed ok and parked behind and loaded the car from the car park. The house is a home from home we had trouble with regulating the en suite shower but the other shower was great! Would thoroughly recommend!

New year break

Lovely weekend away. Cosy well equipped house, great beds with luxurious bedding. Logs were provided for the log burner and a hamper with essentials and treats was a welcoming addition. Great location for walks along the seafront. Nice little boutique shops just along the way. Our teenage boys enjoyed the market stalls in beach huts on the pier and a visit to the amusements on New Year’s Day!

The house is amazing! Comfortable, with every amenity. We were close to the ocean, grocery store, restaurants, park, railway station. Several houses being renovated nearby made the exterior look messy. That was the only negative, and not the owners' fault.

5 star stay !!! Our family stayed for 14 nights over Christmas and New Year. The whole experience, from communication with Martyn and Amanda, to checking in, to staying in the house, has been smooth, easy and brilliant. We had 3 different generations staying and everyone absolutely loved the property. The photos do not do the property justice. It is so much more spacious, cosy, comfy and full of beautiful things. Everything is set out for you to just turn up and be able to start using everything straight away. They have the most comprehensive welcome pack and the welcome hamper will blow you away!! The property is sparkling clean, full of lovely personal touches and everything you will ever need. It is so close to the beach, shops, restaurants, pubs, local attractions and so much more. We can’t wait to return and stay again. A truly magical place to stay and make memories with a partner, family or friends. Thank you so much for hosting us xxxx

There really should be a sixth star available to rate this property. Our family of 5 used it as base for exploring Canterbury and the coastal towns of eastern Kent. Herne Bay is a perfect location for that purpose and I can’t imagine there’s a better place to stay in HB. The house is located in a cul-de-sac right on the sea front in the centre of HB. Its unprepossessing front hides a wonderful property within. The house was beautifully furnished with every amenity that we needed for our stay. In addition to being a lovely place to stay, the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners was unprecedented in our numerous VRBO stays. Martyn was very responsive to our questions and went the extra mile to make our stay as comfortable as possible. He provided very helpful reminders that made things go smoothly. Martyn: heartfelt thanks from our family for your lovely house and making our time in HB so special!

Wonderful, quirky, seaside property

Loved this property. Very well decorated with a great blend of some rustic features such as bare brick wall, with appropriate features for a seaside property (such as port-holes in doors). Spacious and well located. Would thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic stay

We had a great stay at North View. Great location, very smooth and easy check in process with good communication from hosts. House is very well equipped and has everything that we required, the food hamper basket was a very welcome addition, thank you. The sea view window was especially popular with our two year old who could often be found sitting and watching the sea and windmills! We hope to be back again in the future.

Stylish seaside spot

Stylish, high spec property Excellent welcome pack Well equipped kitchen Great location, with easy access to beach, pier, cafes, shops, arcades, etc. As a central located property parking can be a bit tricky. Options are covered in the info and didn’t cause us any big problems. Hosts were quick to respond to queries. Would happily return and recommend to others.

Simply Outstanding

We had a great short stay here. Location is outstanding, within metres of the beach. Parking immediately in the rear (although paid, £12/day or so). Communication with the owners was top-notch. Could not have asked for better. Place was super clean and comfortable. The layout is a little quirky. Bedding was excellent. The owners left a generous basket of food. Supermarket is 5 minutes walking. The house manual was particularly good - very helpful for things like figuring out the oven. The only negatives here are nothing more than quibbles - one of the showers tends to flood the bathroom floor, the door to one of the toilet cubicles doesn't lock - but absolutely nothing that would get in the way of a nice, relaxing getaway. If you're on the fence about this one, just book it, you won't be disappointed.

Beautiful home away from home

This property really is a gemstone. A stylish and beautiful home away from home with everything you could possibly want/need with two young children. The decor and facilities are amazing. Martyn and Amanda have comminicated with us at every turn ensuring everything was ok. It is in a perfect location - the park, pebble beach and pier within a minute's walk away and so many wonderful places to visit within a short drive. We will definitely be back in the future. One of the best holiday homes we have stayed in since having children. Thank you so much Martyn and Amanada

Home from home

We spent 4nts at North View House, great location and fantastic home, right on the beach. Plenty of room for the four of us, loved the open plan kitchen/diner and the bedrooms were well proportioned. The decor and furnishings are really cool, you can tell the owner loves the house.....Garden was small, but very well kept. Easy access to the car park behind. Make sure you have the Ringo app for parking. Herne Bay itself is a little gem, not overly busy and good restaurant choices too. If I was going to Herne Bay I'd only stay here.

The house was better than expected, had everything you could ask for. It was spotlessly clean and everything we could possibly need was provided including the amazing coffee machine. Location is amazing 1 minute walk to the beach and all the shops within 5 mins walking distance, Martyn and Amanda provided an amazing welcome pack. Communication was fantastic throughout.

Stunning seaside property

A wonderful property, tastefully decorated with just the right amount of flair and interest. Spotlessly clean with every detail thought through and an extremely generous welcome pack. Close to the beach front and a range of outstanding restaurants, this is undoubtedly one of the best places we have stayed in the UK. Martyn was responsive and helpful, and everything was very straight forward.

Martyn and Amanda were amazing hosts. We spent a week as a family in Herne Bay perfectly located to explore all that Kent has to offer. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a pristine beautifully maintained home by the waterfront with every possible amenity catered for - truly a home away from home.
