Create lasting family memories at Oyster Shore, a beautifully renovated Whitstable holiday home set right in the heart of town.

Generous in space and full of character, this traditional townhouse has been thoughtfully updated with a modern twist. As a result, pops of bright colour and playful details create a fun, relaxed place to stay for families and friends alike.

Parquet flooring runs through the large, light-filled sitting room, which flows into a versatile adjoining area – ideal as a children’s play space (games provided), or as a convenient workspace. The open-plan kitchen and dining area is flooded with natural light and opens directly onto a sun-filled, enclosed garden that’s perfect for holding a barbecue after a day spent exploring Whitstable. After a swim in the sea, the heated outdoor shower offers a practical spot to rinse off the saltwater.

Upstairs, three welcoming bedrooms provide flexible sleeping for families. The principal bedroom features a large bay window and a king-size bed, alongside a second king-size room and a bunk bedroom that children are sure to love. These share a spacious, modern bathroom.

Location is a particular highlight: Whitstable’s bustling high street, with its independent eateries and shops, is within a minute’s walk. The pebble beach is around five minutes on foot, with the harbour just beyond; parking includes a public car park opposite the house and free on-street spaces nearby.

For those travelling by rail, Whitstable station is also approximately a 10-minute walk away, with direct services to London in under 90 minutes.

Had a lovely two night mini break, what a perfect location! Quite and tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the high street. Comfy beds and a very well equipped house. Thank you for such a lovely stay!

Had a great 5 night stay here. Very comfortable, and the property had everything we needed. We were blessed with good weather, and walked from Whitstable to Herne Bay. We very much enjoyed the bean bags on the porch in the sunshine! We very much hope to come back soon.

Lovely house and a great location to explore beautiful Whitstable! 4.8/5

Great location for a stay in Whitstable 4.8/5

Oyster Shore was a great property to stay in. Nice and bright and airy with a great little garden and patio area for those sunny afternoons and evenings. It was really comfortable and had absolutely everything you needed - we only missed maybe an airer for indoor drying (beach towels and beach wear) and an indoor broom (Its a large kitchen floor with a dustpan and a brush!). Fabulous location, just off the high street, and a handy supermarket at the end of the road which is open until 11pm, for any shopping needs. You could walk through one of the many alleyways off the high street, giving access the seafront which also has a host of cafes and bars. We had a lovely relaxing break with the family in the house.

Had a lovely 2 night mini break. Perfect location - very quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the main high street. Amazing meal at JoJo's - a must go to - consistently good year on year. East Kent Pub is a hidden gem for food and the kids loved the pizza. Comfy beds, well equipped house. Very clean - nice to have comfy sofas in the lounge. Thank you for a lovely stay and the tea, coffee, milk, crisps and juice. Sea scrub sauna and dip on the beach is a lovely treat.

We had a wonderful 5 night stay here. Very comfortable house and beds and we were blessed with good weather. Walked from Whitstable to Herne Bay one day, rented paddle boards from Grove Ferry, cycled the Crab and Winkle way but very uphill! Great potted crab at Keith's Cafe. Watched the sunset at The Neptune pub. Loved the bean bags and sitting on the patio. A great stay, thank you.

A Delightful Stay at Oyster Shore, Whitstable 5/5

Our recent stay at Oyster Shore, a Blooms Stay property in Whitstable, was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beautifully decorated interior. Each room was thoughtfully furnished with unique, arty pieces that perfectly complemented the quirky charm of Whitstable. It felt like staying in a cozy, artistic retreat where every detail was curated with care and creativity. The property's garden was another highlight of our stay. It was a tranquil oasis that our entire family enjoyed, especially the children. They were thrilled with the outdoor shower, a fun and refreshing feature that added a sense of adventure to their garden playtime. The space was perfect for relaxing, enjoying the fresh air, and unwinding after a day of exploration. Our weekend was filled with delightful activities, starting with exploring the high street's charming boutiques and indulging in delicious treats from the local ice cream parlours. Whitstable’s high street is a treasure trove of unique shops and eateries, and we loved every moment spent there. The beach provided endless entertainment for the kids, who spent hours looking for crab shells and other seaside treasures. The fresh sea air and the simple joy of beachcombing made for a memorable family experience. Dining in Whitstable was also a treat, with wonderful food that catered to both adults and children. Each meal was a culinary delight, further enhancing our stay. We also made time to visit Whitstable Castle, which was a lovely excursion. The castle and its grounds offered a glimpse into the town’s rich history and provided a perfect backdrop for family photos. In summary, Oyster Shore is a highly recommended destination for a family staycation. Its beautiful decor, wonderful garden, and proximity to Whitstable's many attractions made our stay truly special. We look forward to returning and making more memories in this charming town.

Lovely place and we have really enjoyed our 3 night stay. We were only 3 people so suggest more cutlery for the larger groups but no complaints from us on that front! A great stay at Oyster Shore - from the supreme seafood to the gourmet restaurants. I enjoyed sleeping in the top bunk in the bunk beds. The garden is great and the clean surfaces and a lovely kitchen. The sofa is a real delight and the cushions on it are amazing. All in all a great stay and the sunshine in the morning and time spent with family was the highlight. Thank you
