Stay and Swim at our home & private indoor pool.
Amazing stay! The Airbnb is perfect for a family with kids, super clean and so well stocked. Nick is a brilliant host- we highly recommend!

Harbour Haven By The Sea - Meters to the Beach!
We had a lovely minibreak here with our kids. The house has a cosy period property feel and a well equipped kitchen. We loved how close the house is to the beach and the shops and restaurants in town. Natasha shared a helpful online guidebook ahead of our stay which helped us plan ahead where we wanted to eat out and even buy ice cream!

<No.1 - Little Eaton - By the Sea! FREE Parking>
Charming little air bnb in an amazing location. Under 5 mins from beautiful Margate beach, but on a quiet side street. The property is a cosy, little 2 bed house. Homely and uncluttered. Even has a little, covered courtyard style garden for chillin' (and drying wet swimming trunks). The hosts, Zack & Georgia, were friendly, super helpful and polite. They always replied very quickly and you got the feeling nothing was ever too much trouble for them. The house even has free parking adjacent to the property. Which is super helpful, as anyone travelling with young children knows you tend to pack half the house. We'd def stay in this little gem of a find again and would highly recommend. Thank you Zack & Georgia.

House on Hawley Square, Margate
I booked Sali’s place for my parents to spend a weekend away in Margate, they had a great time and this was their review: We stayed two nights in this delightful tucked away home. It’s prefect for a retreat from the hubbub, yet close enough to walk everything Margate offers. The home is scrupulously clean and stylish, with a great shower and very comfortable bed and linen’s. We will be back ❤️

The Panoramic, Best Sunsets & Sea Views of Margate
We really enjoyed our stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The sea view from the window was a highlight – absolutely beautiful. Thank you for a lovely experience!

Cultural heart of Margate Sea View
I cannot imagine a better place to stay! It is perfectly located, close to the museum and pretty bay, cafes and train station. I preferred to eat in for my stay. The Aldi is nearby and all of the cooking supplies present. I spent many an hour seated near the bay window enjoying the sunrise, sunset and view of the sea. I will book here again should I return to Margate. Plenty of room for more than myself next time.

Amazing Seaview Townhouse for Art & Design Lovers
We had a fantastic family break at Maria’s lovely apartment. Everything was exactly as described and Maria was a very friendly and responsive host. The location was perfect, sea views and a short walk from shops and great places to eat. The apartment itself is spacious and very stylishly decorated with everything we needed for our stay. It was also great to be hosted at someone’s actual home in the way Airbnb was set up to do many years ago! In summary, we would highly recommend Maria as a host and her apartment in Margate as a perfect place to stay.
