Family & Pet Friendly Home Direct On A Lovely Sandy Beach

Welcome to our beloved family home backing directly onto lovely dunes and a sandy beach.

There is no better place like home! And here it is, our beach house which is our family place. There is no better wakeup call than the sound of the waves in the morning. In the evening you can sit and relax with a glass of wine right on top of the dunes with the stunning views of the beach. It is a very private and child friendly place. It is like their own little paradise with the beach at the back of the house and an great play area on more breezy days. The enclosed and gated garden is very safe for children (I have 5).

Our home features 5 bedrooms that are split between two floors.

Downstairs has a kitchen with a small breakfast area, living room, two double bedrooms, a shower room, a separate WC, and a great conservatory/dinning room leading out to the garden area.

Upstairs has a king size bedroom, a double bedroom, a third bedroom with two sets of kids shorty bunk beds, and a bathroom which has a bath tub and toilet.

The house has two wide screen TVs, one with all the Sky channels and a DVD player, the other with a DVD player; the house has wireless internet but be warned internet speed is poor on the Romney Marsh.

Outside to the rear is a tiled patio area abutting a large lawn, all of which is fenced in and very private. There is a table with chairs, a gas BBQ and a charcoal grill. You can sit outside and relax while your kids are having fun on the upper lawn which includes a 10m x 2m sand pit (in case you are tired of the real thing). Outside to the front is off street parking for 4 or more cars.

Included are sheets, bedding, and towels (both beach and indoor), as well as ample pots, pans, plates, cups, etc., along with many child safe plates, cups, utensils, etc. In addition to the fridge in the house, there is a freezer in the attached garage.

There are plenty of fabulous places to see and visit for grownups and kids. Examples are Dover Castle, the town of Rye, the beautiful small gauge trains of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, Canterbury, Bodiam Castle, as well as indoor swimming pools at a local caravan park (Romney Sands).

Perfect home for a family get together
Just returned from a wonderful get together with family for the weekend. We stayed as 4 generations and the house was well equipped with your daily items - crockery, kitchen equipment, towels etc aplenty. Large fridge and chest freezer. Gas and coal BBQ to use, spotlessly clean and large. Cater well for families with children, they had stair gates at top and bottom, highchairs and travel cot to use. A selection of games, books etc for guests to use. Plenty of children's toys, books and games as well as lots of garden toys. A few garden toys could do with fixing/updating but there's ample for them to play with regardless! Huge trampoline, climbing, slide equipment and toys for the sand. The garden is huge, my only negative would be the steps are slightly dodgy for young children/elderly, and the grassy/play area is set up at the top of the steps with no real barrier stopping the drop from grass to concrete area. Fine for 4+ years but smaller ones you'd need to keep a close eye! The location for the most amazing beach could not be better. Literally a few steps out the back gate and you're on the sandy beach. It was also so quiet on the beach and dog friendly. Perfect for kite flying! Rooms were spotless and had everything we needed. there is only 2 toilets/bathrooms and one toilet is very small and one bathroom has a bath/handheld shower and the other a shower cubicle but we made do! Host was great and communicated quickly and helpfully. Look forward to returning!

Winter stay
Overall a good stay, having the beach close to the house (even in the winter) was a plus. Some of the broken toys need to be moved otherwise the garden was good for 6 plus children.

Seaside Gem
Extremely positive review. Just as description. It has all and more. Plenty of room. Family safety has even been considered by blunting the ends of the cooking knives. All the white goods all seem new. The house was fully equipped, and clean. Quite an achievement as it is directly onto a sandy beach. The trampoline, climbing frame and slide were extremely popular with the children. The garden was secure, although a smaller dog might be able to escape under the gate to the beach. We blocked it off. The house was a home. Spare linen (including T towels), crockery, cutlery. There was even a brand-new gas barbeque but didn't have time to use it. The conservatory dining room has tables that make one large or separate into two. Excellent idea. Books for all, but the board games need replacing. (Maybe a visit to a boot fair is required) Only a couple of grumbles: The outside tap did not work. The house needs one, along with a hose, so we can wash off sand, mud, and fill a paddling pool. The other is that two of the double mattresses need replacing as have no substance, and are uncomfortable for adults (maybe ok for children weighing less than adults) The shower room is a little cramped, but it has a good electric shower. The main downstairs double bedroom was a real bonus. Overall, this was an excellent holiday, enjoyed by all members of the family. Set in an ideal location. Loved the sound of the steam train. Communication with the owner was great. Will defo consider returning.

Lovely weekend getaway
If you want a stay with the kids where the beach is literally a few steps from the back gate then you'll be in luck! We had a fab time outside most of the day with the kids playing in between the garden with the trampoline and sandpit and then on the beach with it's gorgeous sand - my top tip is take a kite, we had lots of fun flying them! The house itself is clean, catered for what we wanted - a big table for eating and a bed each! The kids loved sharing the room with the bunk beds, there's also lots of toys in one of the rooms that my son loved playing with (he's 3). We brought a ready cooked meal with us the first night and heated it up and the second night we had fish and chips from down the road which was really nice. There's also a couple of convenience shops nearby if you forget anything. Thanks for hosting us Monika, we had a lovely weekend getaway!

This property is set up for beach life Six best friends wanted a relaxed casual long weekend and that’s exactly what we got We spent so much time sitting in the dunes which are literally just through the garden gate Beds were clean and comfy Good lounge area Kitchen a little quirky but it met our needs We made good use of the patio and bar b que If you want 5* luxury this isn’t the property for you If you want relaxed right on the beach then go for it

Amazing location but needs some TLC
Ideal for families - though toys are looking a little tired and for younger children- but they were well used and loved , particularly the tractor and trampoline... The accommodation was largely clean but oven and in particular the extractor in the kitchen need deep clean. All mod cons available and plenty of cutlery and crockery ... Outside hose didn’t work - really needed after days in Sandy beach and garden to avoid transfer into house Location location location ....

Great staycation!
The location and house were ideal for our holiday with our family and dog. Toy House was perfect, clean, basic and well equipped. The kitchen, although quirky in its layout, has everything you need. Bedrooms were spacious and linen and towels were provided. Outdoors, there was lots to keep young children amused and the gate to the beach was the best feature! As it’s a dog friendly beach all year around it was lovely to take numerous walks along the long stretch of sandy beach. We will definitely book another holiday there again!

Adequate accommodation, not really disabled friendly, quite spartan.
A clean and comfortable house, comfortable beds, but very spartan, i.e. lack of any character or charm. Very close to beach, dog loved it. It needs more to make it more homely, like a mirror near the window in the main bedroom, a hairdryer would have been good. The TV in the second bedroom didn't work and the Wifi was non-existent. No instructions about the house or a password for the Wifi if it had been working, but we managed to enjoy our stay.

Perfect for beach fun.
Quick And helpful responses to enquiries. Helpful leaflet on local area and leaving day instructions. Kids and dog all enjoyed garden and could not get enough of the beach. Just a few small things could have made a lot of difference. Instructions on how to use hob and white goods would save time. Two bedrooms could benefit from a chest of drawers or wardrobe. An outdoor tap at the back of the house would save a lot of sand being walked through the house. That said we had a holiday which gave us so many memories. We had five children who didn’t want to go home.😀
