ABOUT SEA SUNSET COTTAGE
Introduction
Set on the north coast of Kent, Sea Sunset Cottage is a bright and breezy detached beach house right on Whitstable Bay. Far-reaching sea views are complemented by the interiors within, where an achromatic colour palate has been enhanced with flourishes of intense blue and grey hues, creating a fresh, coastal ambiance inside as well as out. Metropolitan types seeking a chic weekend escape will find this Long Island-style beach house and its ergonomic design an obvious choice for luxury self-catering staycations within easy reach of London.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
The three beautifully bedecked bedrooms offer a vision of wispy summer whites with splashes of aqua and fine linens to ensure the aura of contemporary seaside chic flows throughout. The top (2nd) floor master bedroom has a modern-meets-maritime theme with a large en-suite bathroom (including bath, separate large shower and enclosed WC) and unspoiled views over the ocean from the king-sized bed and Juliet balcony. There is a euro-king sized bedroom and another double bedroom on the ground floor with direct sea views. Both these bedrooms have an ensuite toilet and shower room as well as direct access to the garden. On request there is a sofa bed in the ground floor study/den that could be used by a teenager who wanted their own room, there is a small charge for this and occupancy of the house would still usually be restricted to 6. Please note with the master bedroom being on the top floor and the other bedrooms on the ground floor (which have easy access out to the beach) we do not accept children under the age of 9 except by special arrangement.
Outside
Take a breakfast of fresh coffee and pastries onto the sun trap patio or the wrap-around balcony, neatly bordered by flowering troughs for extra privacy. With the town centre just a short walk away, go on an on-foot adventure to find some of the UK’s best oyster and wine bars such as Wheelers on the high street. A smorgasbord of shingle beaches, galleries and boutiques make Whitstable an all-year-round mecca for visitors with a refined taste. At sundown, dine al fresco on the deck with succulent barbecued seafood and savour the vista of seabirds and sailboats passing by in the distance. Retire to the balcony to finish the day to the tune of chinking glasses and family merriment.
For Relaxation
Expanses of glass flood this modern beach house with a warm luminosity; from the patio windows to the French balcony doors, where tranquil sea views can be admired from almost every angle. Step onto the balcony and breathe in the fresh sea salt air to feel cleansed from head to toe. When rain clouds burst overhead, there’s nothing quite like the sound of rain on the window panes with the comfort of a sumptuous sofa, glowing fire and favourite novel in hand. The house has a separate downstairs study / TV room for those who want to relax and play away from the main lounge.
Practicalities
Sea Sunset Cottage has parking for one car at the side of the property, there is a public car park a short distance away, all external areas of the house are covered by CCTV. There is a washing machine and tumble dryer in the downstairs utility room. An electric oven, microwave, gas hob, fridge/freezer, wine fridge, toaster and Nespresso machine can be found in the kitchen. There is a modern TV with iPlayer etc in the living room and also in the downstairs study/den (which also has a DVD player). There is a coal BBQ on the ground floor deck.
