About this house rental
Passengers little house is a perfectly formed little bit of luxury, full of character, where you are welcomed by a double height ceiling, oak floor and luxurious carpet on the mezzanine which over looks the living space. On the outside fronted with black boarding for a Kent barn look. Passenger is an ideal holiday pad with spectacular views of the seafront only a 2 minute walk away . A perfect romantic get away, friends sharing and ideal for the lone traveller as very safe. There is the option of a pull down sofa bed. The living area is a well thought out double height space with hanging pendant lights, comfortable seating and a wall mounted remote controlled T.V with the option of Netflicks. A kitchenette which will meet all your needs, with the very important cafeteria, toaster, good size fridge and freezer, microwave and plug in hob. The bathroom is of a high spec, you are met with a glass and tiled walk in shower, vintage cabinet holding the sink above which you will find a touch free light sensor on the mirror for added luxury. A small flight of stairs leads to the bedroom mezzanine area, carpeted for a luxurious and cosy feel, here you will find a kingsize bed
We have lived here for over 10 years now making the move from London. Views from Tankerton slopes have never disappointed all weathers and seasons its a very special arena to see so far out to the sea and sky. This is a seafront without crowds, often you can spend the whole day with what seems like your own private piece of beach in-between the groynes which go out to sea at regular intervals. Prior to moving I worked in Museums, my partner and are have both studied at Art school, I think we have an eye for detail and was very clear that we wanted the space to be uncluttered, comfortable whist keeping luxury and style, with a double height ceiling, the texture of brickwork and oak flooring we are very happy with the results. I take hosting very seriously I spend a lot of time making sure everything is at its best. I am fastidious about the cleanliness and really enjoy putting in little extras. I take pride that you have chosen to spend your precious holiday time at Passenger and I want to make sure all is perfect. We are only next door if you needed anything but often only greet and say farewell to guests as it's easy just to get straight into having a holiday once you've arrived
We are located on one of the beautiful wide roads in Tankerton that leads directly down to the seafront, as you come out of the house you can see the slopes and sea beyond. Parking is not a problem it is not a busy road with parking along one side. Whitstable train station is 10 minuets walk away, if you are arriving by train please ask it may be possible for me to pick you up so you can get your holiday started quicker.Tankerton is a hidden gem, open and spacious with easy parking and a large green expanse, 'The slopes', where you get the greatest views of the seafront unlike the centre of Whitstable This is a sea front without crowds often you can spend the day with what seems like your own private piece of beach in-between the groynes that go out to sea at regular intervals. Jojo's an award winning tapas restaurant is located on the slopes with sea views, a great place for lunch or dinner. Whitstable centre is a 15 minute walk along the front where the crowds await. Whitstable is packed with amazing restaurants and independent boutiques. You can catch the bus if you prefer which is at the end of the road also Tesco's, many take aways, a micro brewery pub The Tankerton Arms.

We absolutely loved our stay, the property is beautifully decorated, well thought out and immaculate. There is off street parking and all the amenities you’d need near by. Don’t think I’ve ever had such a comfortable sleep away from home! Amanda was a fantastic host, nothing was too much bother and just knowing she was on hand if we needed her was great…not that we did as everything was perfect for us! We will definitely be back ☺️

Lovely little place
I stayed there for two nights with my partner and her daughter (I took the sofa-bed!)
We were made to feel very welcome. It was well furnished, very clean and with great facilities. We all slept soundly. A very pleasant stay.

Perfect little place by the sea!
The apartment was perfect, it was clean and had all the amenities needed for a weekend break. Amanda was a lovely host and gave us lots of advice prior to our stay on what to do and where to eat in the area. The apartment was a short walk across the road to the local shops and beach and also within walking distance of whitstable. We would definelty return again in the future.

Beautiful little place for a seaside getaway
Both Amanda and the property are as good as they come. Both lovely! We visited Whitstable for short break over New Year and had a really enjoyable time. Amanda's place is a nice length walk from Whitstable and Tankerton has plenty to keep you fed and watered! The little house is ideal and really well done. Amanda was communicative and caring towards our stay. We will be back!

Living Large in Passengers Little House
This Little House is 5 STARS times 2! Our only disappointment was we only stayed 3 nights. Wish we had a week or more to enjoy the house and explore Tankerton and Whitstable.
The house is compact but intimate, modern but comfy and cozy. There was plenty of space for my husband and I to relax and enjoy the comforts of a home.
The kitchen is fully equipped if you want to stay in and make meals. But, there are great places to eat in Tankerton and Whitstable. The bathroom is roomy with a large shower with plenty of hot water and great pressure. As international travelers with lots of electronic devices we were very impressed with all the conveniently placed USB ports.
The location of the house is an easy drive to Dover and Canterbury and nice walks to Whitstable and around Tankerton.
Amanda is the sweetest, generous, and gracious host you will ever meet. Upon your arrival there are wonderful pastries, tea, coffee and even milk in the fridge. There are also snack bags of nuts (that helped us survive a couple of long train rides) and Chocolate Salted Caramel Crisps that are to die for. Amanda is more than happy to recommend places to eat and we highly recommend these 2 suggestions, Ozzie's for fish and chips and Neptune Pub in Whitstable.
Amanda's design and attention to details of Passengers Little House is amazing. After a whirlwind day of sightseeing and exploring castles and cathedrals it was nice to return to a house where we could relax and climb into a comfortable bed for a good night's sleep.
Of the 3 places we stayed in England Passengers Little House was our favorite. We highly recommend visiting Tankerton and Whitstable and staying in Passengers Little House. We hope to return someday and stay longer.
Thank you so much, Amanda. You are the best!

Fantastic spot to relax and enjoy the sights.
My wife and I stayed here from Oct 5th to 8th, visiting from Canada. From the moment we opened the door, we loved everything about the property. Getting around is very easy, the bus is nearby, and the people are very friendly. This is a perfect spot to go walking or bicycling. The high street , past the roundabout, has lots of interesting shops to look in. The waterfront is wonderful too so anyone visiting should make time to take in the sights. We took the bus to Canterbury and visited the Cathedral, a must visit in my opinion. So much history there, but also, lots of shops and places to eat. We had a great lunch at Pork & Co and we would highly recommend it. Hopped the bus to Herne Bay, another nice town to visit with lots to see. When travelling, it is always great to feel comfortable and welcomed wherever we are staying. This was everything and more. We would absolutely stay here again!

Happy Passengers!!
A very clean, tasteful and cosy little oasis near the sea. You would be hard pressed to find a more genuinely and naturally thoughtful host than Amanda, both in interactions and attention to detail in the Passengers Little House. We felt utterly welcome!!
We are walkers and 2 minutes from the house, is the beach where you can walk miles along the beach track in either direction, taking in Whitstable, Hampton, Herne Bay and beyond, beyond, beyond!!
Really lovely.. Thanks, we will be back xxx

Exactly as advertised and the owner was so accommodating
This is a lovely, very clean and quiet property that is just a few minutes walk to the sea and to town. The owner provided helpful information and picked us up and returned us to the train station.

Terrific Tankerton
We spent three wonderful days in this delightful property which was beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. The welcome we received from Amanda set the tone for the whole holiday. We left the car and travelled into Whitstable by bus each day and enjoyed it's hustle and bustle but it was so nice to return to the serenity of Passengers' Little House.
Thank you Amanda for your warm welcome and we look forward to seeing you again.

Beautiful and bijou place for 2
We thoroughly enjoyed outer 2 night stay here, it was clean, cosy, airy and beautifully appointed. It was so handy for walking or getting the bus into Whitstable and the local micro pub was a great find! Tankerton is wonderfully peaceful and quiet yet lovely bustly Whitstable is a 20 minutes stroll along the beach path. Host Amanda was so kind and helpful with local information little extras she left in Passenger’s Little House for us were very thoughtless. Highly recommend and we will definitely return!
