Location is excellent for high street with many independent shops and eateries We were able to park outside the flat. Walking distance to buses and railway station.

The entrance hall & staircase to the flat had a very unpleasant smell. There was a bag of cleaning materials left in the hall. Both shower heads need a good descale or changing as the water flow was very poor. The ensuite shower door didn't shut. Ice box in the fridge was so iced up we couldn't use it and it's door did not close. This had defrosted by the end of our stay. The blinds at all windows were difficult for us to use and pull down.

Very central and because it was out of season we were successful with parking. The facilities at the flat were very good, the beds - exceptionally comfortable. Stairs are steep but we like exercise!

On the first evening I felt wheezy - as I do when I get hayfever. I pulled out the sofa and there was a lot of fluffy dust along the skirting board and thick dust on the window sill. The blinds were also very dusty. There was also a used towel under my bed. The blinds (as I have read in several other reviews) are difficult to pull up and down and are too small for the windows allowing light in down the sides. I phoned the agents and they were very receptive, offering to send back the cleaner. We didn’t want the bother but these issues really need to be addressed. It’s and shame when so much was good about the accommodation.

Location is perfect for Whitstable- beach and high street. Beds are really comfy. Kitchen well equipped. Handy having 2 bathrooms.

Could have been cleaner, the windows in particular need a clean as well as the blinds. Poor blind quality also meant lots of light came in which isn’t ideal for kids, maybe adding curtains would help. The bannister made me a bit anxious with young children too as not to safety regs with missing bannister at top of stairs.

There was a good amount of room for 4 people though there were only 2 of us staying there. The beds were comfortable and all the linen was clean. There is sufficient cutlery and crockery. The apartment is very close to the High Street and an easy walk to the beach.

The apartment needs a very good clean! The shelves were greasy and dusty. The blind cords were twisted and difficult to pull down. The shower door, in the en-suite, at the bottom had a rubber connector which been pulled apart and needed to be connected again. The parking can be difficult as it seems like people prefer to park in Nelson Street rather than a car park. It was a pity about the cleanliness as it is a very nice apartment. The checking in was difficult as well because the computer had not accepted my check in details. After 40 minutes a lady on the phone, managed to with her computer, get the key lock number for us.

Very close to Whitstable High Street. Beds and lounge comfortable. Deceptively spacious. Two bathrooms, one en-suite. Dishwasher.

Hot water was not working for the first night. This was resolved next day when our 2nd msg to the owner/management Co asked us to check various possibilities A switch behind microwave had been turned off by someone, not ourselves. Stairs up to first floor was a bit steep for my friend who has slight arthritis in one knee. It was very hot weather during our stay and the bedrooms, particularly the back bedroom were like a greenhouse. We took our own fan but we should’ve taken two. We would have appreciated a dish cloth or similar to wipe down kitchen surfaces when needed. Back bedroom toilet is quite tight for someone of average build. Parking can be difficult as people park in the road to save on parking fees. I could usually find a space around 7/8pm.

Location excellent

I would like to express my concerns over this booking and very late changes to your guidelines

This booking was arranged well before my holiday began. I received confirmation of my booking and a form which clearly states I had to pay a waiver of GBP250 on arrival for any damages and not beforehand. I did not receive any emails from your Company until two days after my arrival in the UK and had no access to the internet and was unaware of the changes that had been made. I obviously had this amount readily available on the day, to pay as stated and, upon arriving at the premises there was no-one there to pay and I had to retrieve my Booking form and number to contact your Company outside the premises and was given the following information

There was no mention of a GBP25 non-refundable deposit including administration costs on any correspondence received from you of which I feel I had already paid for in my booking, nor to my agreeing to transfer GBP250 direct from my credit card in any emails, which I was requested to do on the day of my arrival to gain entry with the number code. The young lady refused my entry unless I agreed to either of the above

I eventually paid the GBP25 as to pay from my credit card and receive a refund in 14 days would have incurred me a different and much more expensive rate with the currency exchange between British pounds and Australian dollars

Whilst I was very happy with the accommodation, I am not at all sure I will use Booking.com in the future when changes to your policy at the very last-minute covering costs for damaged goods is the way in which these bookings are conducted. I should have been informed of this in order to make a clarified decision as to how this would be paid. Being a respectable and conscientious female in someone else’s home there were no damages to anything within the apartment when I left

I look forward to your reply and reimbursement
Yours faithfully

Fairly speaking, the flat itself is good, clean and tidy. The location is good, 3 mins to the sea, although parking around sometimes could be very busy especially over the weekend. The bed is not too soft which we like, so slept well. The sitting room is spacious. The dining table is a bit unusual. it’s a big rectangular one right beside the wall, so felt a bit strange when we had meals together, as two of us were facing the wall. However this is not a big issue, and others might like this layout. Wipe cloth, sponge, washing liquid, toilet rolls were all provided. The kitchen has enough cutleries and cooking pans for four of us. Some basic cooking ingredients like black pepper, salt and some herbs were provided. There is a dishwasher but we didn’t use.

The agency is a nightmare. My booking confirmation says £250 refundable deposit, but I was asked for £300 & £10 admin fee for processing it. I told them this wasn’t said on the confirmation which is the contract between us and which they should follow! one of their staff initially recognised this and apologised, but next day this same person ask £300 deposit again like nothing happened! I was totally shocked. I contacted the agency’s customer service, but was only told “sorry, our deposit has now increased to £300”. This is too unreliable and tricky. I couldn’t trust them to pay full deposit and went for the damage waiver eventually (extra £30, NOT refundable). We still rate 7, cos it would be unfair for the house itself if we give 1.

The property itself was great & in a fantastic location

At the point of booking the total price of the reservation was paid up front, non-refundable. So imagine my surprise when a week before the trip I was told I had to pay a further £25 before check-in instructions would be provided. This was to cover potential damage - but no mention of this was made at the point of booking. I refused to pay it as it wasn't part of our contractual arrangement & Host & Stay agreed to waive it. But the following day they changed their mind & tried to insist it was payable. Again I refused to pay it & they eventually agreed to waive it. So if they haven't changed their stanve be aware that "Host & Stay" will try to rip you off for £25 before agreeing to provide check in details.

It is a well-positioned flat - handy for the beach, high street and buses. The living room was roomy and there was plenty of light. The heating was very efficient.

Asking for extra money for insurance for damages after confirmation is cheeky (if not unethical). All costs should be up front. In light of this it was disappointing to find chipped mugs and plates as well as damaged kitchen surfaces. The kitchen was not as clean as expected.

Lack of places to hang clothes (not coats) and only 2 hangers per room. Shower-head needed descaled and extractor fan was caked in thick dust. One bathroom only had half a toilet roll in it. Only one bedside lamp in each room. You had to lift the bed up to find the ironing board. The apartment felt grubby, lots of dust bunnies and a grimy hob. The outside of the windows were so dirty it was difficult to see out. The kitchen windows are blown, so you can’t see out of those. No cupboard space for food. Really noisy en-suite door which disturbed sleep during the night. Large patch of blood located on mattress protector, which should be replaced if the stain can’t be removed.

Check in was super simple and it was great to be able to easily contact the rental company.
The location is fantastic, quick access to the High Street or the beach.

The bathrooms were small. And the property hadn’t been deep cleaned for a while. I hunted for the ironing board which was under a bed and thick with dust. The air extraction in the bathroom was also thick with dust.
There are no curtains at the windows (only blinds) so the bedrooms were really light in the morning.
It is a bit tired, the property could do with new carpets and a lick of paint.

Location is fantastic because it is very central. The beach, businesses and transport is all within 5-10 minute walk. Fully equipped kitchen, good heating and two bathrooms were a plus

The stairs were a little steep which made managing suitcases difficult. But I think all the properties are designed like this so it is not the fault of the owner/property. If you are driving you will have a problem parking because there is no parking lot. This seems to be an issue for the whole street. Roads are also quite narrow.

Very well equipped and close to the town centre and the beach.
Kitchen was brilliant, we managed to cook three full meals and it had everything we needed for a good stay.

The rooms were very clean and had everything we needed . Blue Fox were very good. The communication was excellent and clear and they checked in when needed and advised us how to check in and out.
Unfortunately my daughter left an expensive coat at the apartment.
At the time of writing this review I am not sure if I managed to get this back or not. It took three emails over 24 hours to get a reply and at the time of writing this, which is 2.5 days after checkout, I was no further forward on an answer on this...
The only small thing was check out being very early at 10am, would be great if this could be slightly later, ie 11am, as all a bit stressful with children and trying to make sure apartment was clean and tidy when we left.

This is a gorgeous apartment in an amazing location, just perfect for town and the beach. Very comfortable, lovely decor, well equipped, clean and cosy. Stairs are steep, as noted, including when passing by the top on the landing, which is a bit scary, so maybe not good for kids or anyone with mobility issues. Bathrooms are tight, but high spec. Tricky to get near the loo in one of them. All other rooms are good sized and nicely furnished. No problems with neighbours, though I think they had a seance on Sat night! 😂 Overall, highly recommended and we would stay again.

Communication was impersonal and automated, but sufficient and we had no problems except that it says you can leave your bags inside the door/lobby for a few hours after checkout, but there really isn't space to do so and the cleaners didn't have any idea about this so we didn't feel comfortable to leave them.

Location. Having Amazon Prime and Netflix. This SHOULD be included in the description of the flat as it was a BIG attraction when we fancied a relaxing night in.

We asked for directions as we walked around Whitstable but a street map would would have been appreciated. The flush of the toilet in the bathroom takes approx. 30 minutes to pop up again and is noisy during this time. The bath needs a shower mat or non-stick surface under the shower! The ensuite shower needs to be unclogged - stood in a pool of water! I don't think it had been cleaned due to 3 black body hairs! In the kitchen a drainer would be helpful for hand washing & a towel for drying hands appreciated. The glass paned door to the lounge has a broken handle on the side of the lounge - we had closed the door and thankfully slid the catch & opened it - we thought we were going to be stuck the night there as we would have had to wait until the next morning to call and speak to you for assistance!

The mattress protector had stains! Stained pillows - needs pillow protectors! Body hair in the ensuite shower tray! On the page to work the TV/Netflix etc. a strand of black hair & similar black hair on the sofa which I removed. My bracelet broke and when I bent down to the carpet to pick up the beads I found other 'bits' on the carpet ie, had not been vacuumed well.

Due to the hair on the sofa and shower tray, yucky standing in pooled water in ensuite shower plus carpets not vacuumed well; in fact I do not think the shower tray was cleaned at all. In spite of very comfy mattresses, we felt creeped out sleeping on the beds with stains under the pillowcases and sheets.

£120 charge to my friend and I for Covid deep clean - we consider that we were hugely overcharged for reasons - above.

Minor thing - include a microwave? (not a deal breaker)

Nice holiday apartment. Bit difficult to park the car if it's busy but a carpark is close by. Near the beach, the Highstreet with shops and pubs and near the habor. On the corner of the street is a litte place called the Windy Corner who serves a lovely breakfest. Apartment is on the first floor with steep stairs. It has two nice size bedrooms with comfy beds. However the current blinds won't keep the ligt out so its bright and sunny in the room at 04.30. If you need to sleep in a darker room or got a migraine with need to stay in the dark that can be a problem here. Overall we had a few lovely days in this apartment.The owner communicates well en quick by mail, entry and leaving is with a code so absolutely fine so we would certainly recommend it.

Die Lage ist ideal, die Räume sind hell. Das Einchecken ging durch einen Schlüsselsafe sehr gut. WLAN funktioniert gut, Seife und Shampoo stehen an allen Stellen bereit.
Die Betten sind bequem und es gibt Bademäntel.

Leider war das Appartement nicht sauber, wir mussten alle Gläser erst einmal spülen, die Schränke, Küchenutensilien, Töpfe und Teller waren teilweise in unappetitlichem Zustand, auf der Bettwäsche waren Flecken, sah aus wie Makeup.
Es gibt keinen eigenen Parkplatz, obwohl angegeben und die Parkplatzsituation auf der Straße ist teilweise katastrophal. Wir hatten schon am ersten Tag ein Knöllchen über 25£.
Das Appartement ist keine 250 m2 wie in der Wohnungsbeschreibung angegeben, 75 m2 ist, denke ich, zutreffender.
Die Treppe in die erste Etage ist steil und eng, für ältere Menschen und schweres Gepäck nicht optimal.
Wir haben versucht Kontakt zum Vermieter aufzunehmen, der hat sich aber nicht zurück gemeldet.

The flat was super cute and cosy, although while we went it was snowing and could get really cold at times despite the heating being on. Despite this the space is a really lovely comforting space and perfect for small groups who want to spend time together. Blue fox also regularly checked up on us and were easy to contact, and the location 1 min from the beach. Would recommend to people who are looking for a small getaway or a chance to reconnect with one another!

Sail Away is a great apartment with really nice location in central Whitstable and just 5 min walk away from seaside. The apartment is cosy and equipped with a handy kitchen and really comfortable bedrooms. It’s a great location to explore Canterbury, Margate and Whitstable. The stairs to get to the apartment is probably too narrow and little difficult to get luggage and car seat and pram upstairs.

Comfortable and well equipped. Close to town and beach but parking is very difficult.

The property is set in a perfect location close to the beachfront and had is well stocked with all the items you are likely to need for the duration of your stay.

Very disappointingly, we discovered large brown stains on our duvet when we arrived at the property and the en-suite bathroom had some plumbing issues. Unfortunately, our disappointment was compounded by the holiday rental company, Blue Fox Rentals, failing to respond and fix the issues we reported to them on the first day of our visit. They also failed to respond to our subsequent texts and voicemail messages.

The location on a very quiet road midway between the high street and the sea is just ideal. The property was very clean and extremely well presented. Would recommend for two couples or a small family.

Both bedrooms are a bit tight but manageable.

Danniella at Blue Fox was an incredibly responsive host. Solutions were immediately offered to address the minor issues we had with cleaning and did not impact our stay in this lovely apartment. Close to the beach, close to the shops and restaurants, but in a very quiet road - it ticked all the boxes. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay, the flat was really nice inside. The kitchen was also well equipped for cooking, so overall it was a very pleasant stay

Beautiful accommodation for a short trip to Whitstable. Ideal location, a few minutes walk to the beach but still quiet. Check in was very simple, and we found the tips for the local area a helpful touch. Hosts were in touch via text to check we had everything we needed. We managed to park on the road which was great, but spots were few and far between so bare that in mind.

A very well appointed flat in a great central location. Beds were comfortable with nice linen and pillows. Ideal location for a weekend in Whitstable. Parking a little difficult, and car parks are available but pricey - that’s the only downside… other than that it was lovely

Lovely flat, good location. Photos are accurate and beds were really comfy. The price was very high but probably due to demand.

A great place to stay in a fantastic location super close to the sea and all local amenities. Really easy, smooth check in with a helpful and detailed handbook provided for all information. Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend. Only main issue is parking is difficult on the road, but we found places close by, was just tricky when arriving/departing with bags. Thanks for having us!

Pros —
Great location, nice and comfortable apartment. Walkable distance from everything Whitstable offers.
Cons —
Contrary to listing there is no on site parking and there are no spots on the road, we had to use nearby car parks. The Internet is probably fine for a weekend if you’re not going to be in much, but if you’re trying to work from home, it’s not good enough. We had to spend the first hour cleaning the kitchen. No communication from host when we had issues.

The place was excellently located in Whitsable and was only a short walk from the station and with good parking. My bed was comfier than my one at home, and all the facilities and amenities we needed. Communication from Blue Fox was also great leading up to the event so everything was clearly explained before we arrived. The apartment was also filled with little touches that made our stay so much easier, like the handy guide on nice places to visit nearby, and the coffee sachets, board games box and dishwasher tablets. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

A lovely place. Tastefully decorated, very clean and a great location. Big enough for our family and a two minute stroll to the beach. Easy to park on the street and Whitstable is beautiful. We'd highly recommend.

The place is located in a perfect spot of Whitstable, quiet and very close to the sea. The apartment is very spacious, comfortable and well equipped. After the whole day outside, you can expect to sleep there like a baby!

Fab location! It could not be a better spot, so close to the beach and the brilliant Old Neptune pub on the beach. The Windy cafe at the end of the road is perfect for a morning coffee and breakfast. As a group of friends coming to stay for a few days and explore whitstable it couldn’t have been better! The beds were so comfy and I would love to know what detergent is used on the sheets cause they smelt amazing! Check in and check out is so easy. I would definitely recommend and would stay again myself if visiting Whitstable in the future. Thanks so much!

This place is great, particularly for its location - it's literally a 5 minute walk from the beach and 5 minutes from the high street also. There are great cafes, restaurants and pubs around too. The apartment itself was really nicely done out and had basically everything we needed for our stay, including a pretty well equipped kitchen. The only small downer was that the advert stated it came with breakfast but there wasn't anything at the flat when we arrived. In spite of that, I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to stay in Whitstable.

Great location and layout of apartment. Unfortunately we found the place grubby and spent the first hour cleaning. Thick layer of dust/hairs on stairway and dirty window sills, we really thought the place had not been hoovered for weeks. Host was quick to reply, sent cleaner the next day whilst we were out, but amazingly still neglected to hoover. Enjoyed our stay but would have moved out if there was somewhere else available.

Nice flat in a quiet street, and only a short walk away from the seafront! The high street is only a minute or so from the flat which gives you quick access to all the shops / cafes / pubs.
