Sunny sea view top floor flat
This lovely, spacious and peaceful one-bed top floor apartment in a listed Georgian property comes with uninterrupted sea views.

It's seconds away from the sea, and has popular places to eat and drink nearby. The Old Town, Turner Contemporary, and Cliftonville are easily accessible on foot too.

SeaSeat, amazing sea view flat
SeaSeat is a gorgeous flat in a beautiful old building, overlooking the sea. We call it SeaSeat because it’s hard to drag yourself away from watching the sea in the daytime or marvelling at the sunsets at dusk. This special place is close to everything that Margate has to offer, it’s right in the old town where all the funky shops, bars and restaurants are and a couple of minutes from the Turner Gallery. Stylish and comfortable, light and airy ..a little seaside gem!

Sea-view Walpole Bay Writer’s Retreat
Loft overlooking Walpole Bay. On the 3rd floor, no lift! NO TV!!! This is a tranquil place with quirks - it's a boho hangout rather than five-star hotel. Please don't book if you like a TV as you'll be disappointed. It’s around 15-20 minutes walk to the Turner or Botany Bay. Light-filled, quiet, big views. A hanging chair so you can literally hang out. Ercol chairs, House of Hackney fabric.

Few minutes walk down to the sandy beach and Walpole Bay tidal pool. A short walk into Margate main town. Free parking outside. Self checkin and check out. Late checkout available.
