Modern 2 Bed (sleeps up to 4) house, 50 metres from sea front
BOOKINGS UNAVAILABLE AT PRESENT A lovely, modern, seaside house just 50 metres to the seafront and less than one minute from all amenities, yet tucked away from the main road.
The property benefits from 3 parking spaces, 2 bathrooms, 2 balconies - one of which is SW facing - and a small patio garden. Furnishing is contemporary with good quality beds, 2 showers, a bath, fully fitted kitchen including a washing machine, microwave and dishwasher.
The master bedroom has a comfy king sized bed with an ensuite shower and toilet.
The second bedroom has 2 single beds that can be pushed together to make a super-king sized bed. The family bathroom is right next door to this bedroom and has a bath, shower and toilet.
Both bathrooms have heated towel rails and there is also a washing line outside if you need to dry your washing or wet towels.
Next to the house are 3 tennis courts, the Marine Hotel, a micropub, beauty salons, gym, a dispensing Pharmacy, 7-11 local supermarket with a post office and a variety of excellent takeaways and cafes. So you don't have to go far to have everything you need but just a 15-minute walk along the seafront will take you into Whitstable town centre with its quaint working harbour, craft huts, galleries, seafood restaurants, specialising in Whitstable Oysters and many independent shops.
A bus stop is located nearby for travel to Whitstable, the historic town of Canterbury and Herne Bay. Whitstable train station, with regular trains into London (just over an hour's journey), is a 5-minute drive or 15 minutes walk away.
Tankerton is well-placed to be near to Whitstable, yet away from the hustle and bustle of the town. Tankerton Slopes is the site of many local festivals such as the annual classic car show, Oyster Festival food fair and the weekly Park Run.
Please note that Windjammer Cottage is an 'upside-down' house. The kitchen and living room are upstairs and open plan, maximising the lovely light that floods into the property. Although not suitable for people who can't manage the stairs, the house has a large hall downstairs with 2 armchairs that may be used as a second living area if required.
Please note that if you have small children, the house has 2 balconies and stairs.

We were very pleased with our stay. The accommodation was clean and in a great location with parking being a bonus !
The communications with Carol was excellent - we would definitely return to the charming accommodation .
Whistable when the sunshine’s is beautiful and quirky - loved our stay.
Right by the coast and perfect to enjoy the sun setting over the sea. Well provisioned and presented. Had everything we needed and with a stylish finish. Also a beautiful Italian bistro just around the corner, Basil & Co, with lots of gluten free options. Would happily stay again.
Excellent property in a great location. 15 minutes walk into Whitstable. Parking spaces were a bonus, very clean, comfortable beds and excellent communication with Carol. Would definitely book again.
This was a great place for our stay. Whitstable is a vibrant town and the cottage is only one street back from the local beach and promenade. It was a good base for exploring Kent too. It was nice to spend time relaxing on the balcony. The cottage is clean, modern, well equipped and the owners were very helpful with a few thoughtful touches. Would recommend.
A delightful well equipped upside down house hidden quietly away between main road and the seafront. The two balconies catch the sun during the day and amazing sunsets in the evenings, also small courtyard garden. Excellent restaurants and cafes within walking distance, good bus service to Whitstable, Herne Bay and Canterbury.
Having previously stayed twice before in Winter, it was lovely to visit in the Summer months. As usual Carol & Hugh were the perfect hosts and Windjammer had everything we needed.
The proximity to the sea is perfect and we enjoyed a couple of walks in both directions.
The restaurants and bars in Whitstable have everything to suit all tastes and budgets.
We will definitely return again.
We really enjoyed staying here, two couples with a bathroom each and plenty of space, the property had everything we needed. There’s lots to do nearby , we visited Canterbury Cathedral and the neighbouring towns, would happily recommend to family and friends .
We had a very comfortable and relaxing stay at Windjammer. Everything needed home from home. Enjoyed sitting on the balcony in the afternoon/evening watching the sun set. Location was fantastic to reach Whitstable and Herne Bay on foot.
From the arrival to the departure everything we wanted and more was available at Windjammer and the hosts were lovely too.
It was a peaceful, relaxing home from home
Wonderful stay. House could not have been in a better spot nor better appointed. Perfect for a coastal visit and trips to local attractions. Loads to do! Hosts, Carol & Hugh could not e done better!
Partner went with her friends to stay as part of her 50th. Could not have had a better time, loved the location and all the restaurants. House was perfect for them.
Thank you Carol.
Windjammer Cottage was great. Very clean, modern, light and comfortable. It had everything we needed and we liked being so close to the sea front. We enjoyed our week at the property and would like to go back some time.
Came to stay in February 2022 and had a wonderful time at Windjammer.
Carol & Hugh are perfect hosts and go above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need for a pleasant stay.
Returned in January 2023 and again had everything we needed for our short stay.
We hope to return in the warmer weather this year.
Windjammer is hands down the best equipped holiday home we have ever stayed in.
Carol and Hugh have thought of everything and made the whole process extremely easy.
It is a beautifully furnished upside down house, with two balconies, only a couple of minutes walk from Tankerton beach and a leisurely 15 minute walk into Whitstable.
Parking was easy, with a couple of options, including a secure space within the garden boundary.
We usually stay in different holiday lets, even if we return to the same seaside town, but we would absolutely love to stay at Windjammer again. We loved it!
