About this house rental
Boatswains Cottage is a beautiful 19th Century weatherboard fisherman’s cottage, just yards from the beach and situated on Whitstable’s sought after Island Wall.
You check in using a key box code. I am however local to the area, so if you need anything or have any questions, I am only a phone call away and a short drive!
The cottage is a stones throw away from the beach and is on a quiet road. The tennis courts are just behind the property and the beach is just behind that. There is a local store/cafe on your doorstep, Windy stores serves delicious breakfasts and lunches and has great coffee. The town centre is just down the end of Nelson road adjacent a five minute walk to discover the high street, great eateries and local boutiques.
You have access to all areas in the property.
Once used by the coastguard, this wood-framed cottage provides accommodation for 4 people over 3 floors and still retains its original features. Spread over three floors, the style of the house is beautifully simple. There are fantastic views of the sunny garden from the balcony and a wood burning stove provides cosy evenings during the colder months. Featuring all the mod cons you would expect and with the beach and tennis courts just yards away, this is a stylish getaway by the sea.
Beautiful well-equipped cottage with open-plan sitting/dining area, family bathroom with WC, wash basin, bath and handheld shower. First floor balcony and sunny courtyard garden with decked seating area.
Open plan sitting/dining room with wood burning stove, flat-screen TV and DVD player, leading to kitchen/dining area equipped with microwave, fridge, washer/dryer, dishwasher and gas hob with electric oven. Doors leading to a well established sunny courtyard garden with decked seating area.
