About this property
Bay View Penthouse panoramic sea views Sea View Holiday home Herne Bay
Welcome to my Home my Name is Claire I Purchased my apartment because I Loved it as soon as I walked in it has a very light living area overlooking the sea with a special private feel, It has some extravagant and luxury I am sure you will feel right at home as soon as you walk in, I have tried to make this a special place and I'm sure you will agree. Although the apartment has a private feel, It is in a great central location with all the local activities right on the doorstep, Throughout the summer you have Air show, Carnival, Herne bay festival week , fireworks and music at the bandstand all close by not to forget all the Victorian grandeur and History. Occasionally I go back to my roots with the Local pie and mash, But we have some really nice local indipendant restaurant's and smugglers pubs to enjoy. If you like walking and oysters walk into Whitstable along the seafront, If you like long walks walk east to Reculver through downs along the seafront and this sea front walk goes to Margate (turner galery) but you can always get the train just a couple of stops.
I like time on the beach just opposite so I often take the BBQ and have dinner or just a glass of wine. But if the British weather let's you down you still have the wonderful views from the apartment.

A lovely flat that is really nicely decorated and was well prepared. Great views from the lounge windows over looking the sea and sea front. Thank you - we had a lovely time.
A fabulous apartment in a lovely location. Warm and comfortable it was everything we needed for a girly catch up to chill and relax. Close to town and pier for nice walks.
Stayed for 3 nights & had a nice peaceful stay
Spent a day in Canterbury & a day in Broadstairs which we went on the train from the property,just a 10 minute walk to station
The apartment was in an excellent position, lovely views over the sea and handy to pop back to, as on the seafront.
The apartment was lovely, clean and well equipped.
Claire was very quick to respond to any questions and was very helpful.
Would highly recommend.
The access instructions were clear and easy to follow, Claire was really helpful with all the questions I asked, and the apartment itself is fabulous. Perfectly situated right on the seafront. The rooms were lovely, very nicely decorated, I would highly recommend this apartment as somewhere to stay.
Lovely unique property with everything you could need for a self catering stay especially in the kitchen. Comfy beds and sofas with amazing views day and night.
Claire was a great host and the welcome pack with tea and coffee much appreciated. 3 Generations visiting and will definitely be back.

Thank you for your lovely review. So pleased you all enjoyed your stay. Looking forward to welcoming you back. Kind regards Claire
Stayed for 3 weeks while visiting family.
Apartment is very spacious and well appointed.
Location and views are excellent.
Owner was very helpful and accommodating.
The only downside would be the paid / time limited parking outside the apartment. Free parking is only a 7 Minute walk away, but the British weather can dampen the pleasure of this (note overnight parking is free you just need to pay / move before 08:30am (April - Sept) or move by 12:30pm Oct to March.
The property was as described with what can be said as a quirky decore. The views over the harbour and out to sea were really lovely and we had a very comfortable stay, with all mod coms and a very efficient lift. It would have been nice to have a welcome pack of a few essentials. The three bad points were - a lack of parking which was a real bugbear as it was a good 15 minute walk to find free parking. The Divers pub next door was especially noisy over the weekend as we had such good weather we needed the windows open and the music was very loud and went on till late. There are few good eating places open in Herne Bay within walking distance.
That said we had a relaxing week exploring Kent.

Thank you for the review, Yes like all seaside towns being very central has parking has drawbacks but easy free parking is available about 5 minutes walk away detained are in the welcome pack and a large council car park opposite, on the roads outside is also free out of hours. The Divers PH does have some music weekends expecially summer time where they have live music that goes on late but only 12 ish? it's also a great night out for music meeting people very friendly 😊 summer sometimes has festivals out by the clock Tower with music and band's that can finish 10 pm but you get a direct view to the stage for live music with the fireworks and don't even have to leave the apartment if you are lucky to be at the apartment one of those nights 😀. I'm glad you loved the apartment and found nice restaurants we have close by, hopefully you took advantage of local shopping and our little cafe culture in the town as literally just around the corner.
It was great meeting you thanks for the review always helpful to other guests.
Claire
Nice property with everything you need in it
Pub a little noisy at weekends next door
Perfect location for exploring good buses trains ect
Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2021
Response from VrboOwner on 27 May, 2022
Yes some weekends especially summer they can have live music in the divers that goes on until around midnight but it's also a great venue to enjoy very friendly 😀. That's not all the time though lol..... I'm pleased you used our transport links to get out and about Whitstable, Canterbury, margate and Broadstairs easily done and London directly from station. Its a great base not only for local amenities but Kent as a whole. Great review for letting everyone know there's easy transport if needed and I look forward to seeing you again soon 😀
The apartment is in a fantastic location, right on the sea front, with fabulous views.
This property is truly unique. It is in a fabulous location with panoramic views of the sea. It is next door to a pub and opposite the clock tower, which chimes, but neither bothered us with noise, the only time we heard the pub was when they had a delivery. The locals are fantastically friendly, we tried many of the recommended places to eat and found them all great. The only down side to the property was there is no parking, there are streets to park in but as we were only there for a few days and it was out of season we gave up trying to decipher which streets we could park in for nothing, and parked in the car park opposite, Claire did her very best to help us with this, and left a comprehensive pack to help us with any questions we may have had.

Thank you for the fantastic review, I love my Apartment and try to make everything as nice as possible for my guests. Thanks for mentioning the sea view I love sitting on the sofa myself just looking out to sea.
See you soon so happy you had a lovely time
Generally a great experience. There were a few little niggles but nothing of much significance; our preferences are of course very subjective. The main room is light, spacious and very well equipped. The lift to the third floor is extremely welcome and the whole apartment is modern, fresh and stylishly furnished.

Thank you for the great review I'm glad niggles were very minimal or miniscule please message me so I can put anything right I want everyone's holiday a wonderful experience. I hope you thought the outside sea view was as fresh as the inside.
See you soon

A perfect seaside flat
We had an enjoyable stay in this lovely flat. Plenty of restaurants & shops nearby. Lovely view. Well fitted except perhaps the chandeliers which were so low that we both low quite short banged our heads on them.

Heating System! Make sure to warm up the flat during chilly weather.
This is a stylish flat in the centre, on the waterfront, by the Clock Tower. Make sure you get good introduction how to deal with the floor heating, the bathroom heating and to work the fireplace. The bedrooms have carpets which block of the floor heating and the bedrooms feel cold during the night. Claire, the owner, is a helpful host and the flat is beautifully decorated.

I feel this is a very unfair mark 3* The Apartment is New warm and modern with under floor heating and a thermostat in every room so every room can be individually heated, Very simple to use and everyone can have there room set to the desired temperature. The Apartment was pre heated and all you had to do was adjust thermostat in the desired room as shown and I explained I don't think it could have been simpler. ?
I really don't understand when someone leaves poor marks for something they have not understood ?
I even turned up at 7.30 AM to assist turn the heating up I could have shown you again the day before if asked or not understood I try my hardest to give every guest the best possible stay and experience.

Super Lage, nette Wohnung!
Obwohl kein Parkplatz am Haus vorhanden, war das Parken in der Nähe kein Problem. Die Wohnung ist absolut zentral am Strand. Supermarkt gut zu erreichen und für Essen ist unmittelbar gesorgt. Erholung pur.
Alles war sauber.

I had to translate (Although there was no parking at the house, parking nearby was not a problem. The apartment is absolutely central on the beach. Supermarket easy to reach and food is taken care of immediately. Pure relaxation. Everything was clean.)
Thank you for the nice revue and you had a lovely time.
