Number 7 Coastguard Cottages is a 3 bedroom terraced Victorian Cottage forming part of a row of old coastguard cottages right next to the beach at Jury’s Gap, Camber Sands. Just walk out of the door, through the garden and up the steps of the sea wall to get onto the sandy beach. There are spectacular sea views from the upstairs windows.
Number 7 has just been completely renovated with all new electrics, plumbing, kitchen, bathrooms and interiors. The style is light and airy with lots of pale painted wooden floors, whitewashed brick walls, Victorian style bathrooms and retro fittings where possible but without sacrificing comfort. Heating is by electric Victorian-style column radiators and all the windows have removable secondary glazing so it is lovely and cosy in winter. There is a huge hot water tank so you should always be able to have a hot bath or shower when you get back from the beach.
Park your car at the end of the little coastal garden and walk up the steps to the pale blue front door. Enter into the brand new galley kitchen fully equipped with pale grey units, electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher and fridge-freezer. Step up from the kitchen into the dining room with Victorian dresser, bench seating and dining table to seat 6 people plus a small sofa for relaxing. Through the dining room is the TV room with huge corner sofa and 46” wall-mounted TV.
Downstairs in the basement is a cosy bedroom (with window) with a king size bed and a bathroom with freestanding Victorian style bath with shower taps, basin and toilet. NB the basement ceiling is quite low so tall people might be better in the upstairs bedroom!
The storage/laundry room with washing machine and cleaning equipment is also in the basement.
Up the Victorian staircase from the dining room, is the first floor with another light and airy double bedroom with king size bed and a large bathroom with freestanding bath, shower enclosure, basin and toilet. Wonderful views of the beach from all windows in this floor.
From the first floor landing, climb up the quaint little stairs into the attic room with two Velux windows giving fantastic views along the beautiful coastline. In this room are two small single beds which can be fitted together with zip and link mattresses to make a king size double bed if required.

The rain and wind were a perfect combination for us -- we had the beach largely to ourselves and thoroughly enjoyed our dog walks. So close and convenient, it was a treat. And the Cottage was very cozy!
The property was very clean, Nicola had left a lovely welcome package.
The decor was to a high quality and classy style.
Lovely access to the beach (be aware during high tide the beach is underwater).
We had a great time. Two older adults, two 18 year olds and a child, plus dog. The location is wonderful - we were blessed with good weather. Close to the beach. The house is very comfortable. Highly recommended.
The house was beautifully presented but.There is an overriding smell of damp particularly in the basement and attic bedrooms. There is major work being carried out in the sea defences and the main work storage site is between the house and the beach.Wirk noisily started at 7am. The front door lock really should be replaced. It was a nightmare to open the door from outside

I think the smell is just the smell of a seaside house! I’ve only ever smelled it in the basement but the bathroom fan works well to get rid of it if you don’t like it ..
The essential sea defence works have been a nuisance for the last year but thankfully they finish in December. They shouldn’t have started so early - I will notify them.
The cottage is in the perfect location being 2 minutes from the beach. The views are amazing.
The cottage is very comfortable with quirky decor. Everything we needed was there with the addition of a lovely cake.
We’d definitely stay again.
Perfectly situated for beach lovers, beautiful Sandy beach when the tide is out.
The property is spread over four floors with quite narrow stairs, this wasn’t a problem for us but I could see potential difficulties for some.
Access to the house is also via several wooden steps.
We stayed here for three nights, spending the days visiting various villages. Transport is a must as there’s very little in walking distance.
We would definitely stay here again, we found it peaceful, relaxing and very homely.
Fantastic location for dog walking on Camber Sands
Lovely coastguard cottage. Fantastic Bedrooms, beds and linen.
Nice welcome goodies in fridge.
Only criticisms would be that the oven needs a deep clean as smoked when cooking and back door lock was a tad tricky.
But would have no hesitation to go back. Most enjoyable stay.
What a fab holiday we have just returned from! Stunning location with beach right on doorstep. We had some fab walks in the wind with waves breaking over the sea wall and brill times on the beach on sunny calm days. Perfect for a get away from it all chill out. Number 7 coastguards Cottages has been renovated to a great standard with calming decor and comfy beds and sofas, everything we needed.

Thanks Darren! I’m so glad you had a lovely time. Come back soon!
Such a find! An amazing location - the beach is just stunning! We had a wonderful time. It blew my 5 year old's mind to have what felt like a private beach and such a flat one (you have to walk a long time out to sea to find deep water) made it really easy for her. And perfect sandcastle sand :)
Property itself was also superb. Really well equipped. My daughter loved her little attic room and we were really comfortable in the main bedroom. Plenty of space, kitchen easy, coffee machine a life saver :)
Everything really easy. Just had a wonderful break

Thanks so much for this lovely review. I’m so glad you enjoyed our little piece of heaven.
Just to say for anyone reading the review .. you only have to walk out to the sea when it is low tide. At high tide, you can swim straight off the beach steps in deep water.
A great "Getaway" cottage thoughtfully prepared and with a welcoming feel. It was easy to slip into feeling relaxed and the beach was great for regular dog walking. Good information about the locality including restaurants. If you prefer to avoid hustle and bustle this could just be the place to stay.
Thank you.

I’m so glad you had a lovely relaxing time. Do come again.
This is a lovely property with a lot of character and a very relaxing place to stay, highly recommended. We were made to feel very welcome and Nicola's communication was excellent
We had a lovely stay, the house was fantastic and the description was accurate, any questions that I had were addressed immediately. Decor lovely and available appliances etc more thoughtful and useful than experienced in previous properties. Would highly recommend!
This was the perfect property and location for us with 6 adults and two dogs. The cottage was just a two minute walk to the beautiful sandy beach which was ideal with the dogs. The cottage itself was beautifully presented with some quirky features adding to its charm. Everything was catered for, with plenty of crockery, glasses, cutlery and utensils in the kitchen. There were board games, books and DVDs in the lounge to keep you amused if you so wished.
With a nautical theme running through out the cottage each room was painted white and so looked clean and bright. With 6 of us staying we never felt crowded as there were 4 floors. Any questions we had before we went were quickly answered by Nicola the host. It was perfect and we really enjoyed our time here and would definitely return.
Booked last minute to catch a few days of warm weather. Booking very easy and Nicola was a star to fit us in. Would have looked a few more days if the property hadn’t been booked already. Lovely position very close to the beach which was like your own private one being a little distance from the more commercialised Camber Sands. Property decor very much in line with the name, very quirky and interesting. Wonderful quality bedding and great bathrooms which felt like new. Would definitely return for another stay in the future

So glad you enjoyed our little piece of heaven! Come again soon
We were hoping for a holiday where we had plenty of space to run about on the beach and swim in the sea - this house is so close to the sea and so far from the crowds of Camber that it totally met our hopes and expectations.
From start to finish, it was a wonderful experience. Nicola was attentive and made sure everything was ready for us and explained all of the COVID-19 rules etc.
We stayed for four nights; four adults, one child and two dogs. We absolutely loved it and felt at home straight away.
We would definitely recommend it to our family and friends. It's a real treasure of a place.
Thank you for making us feel so welcome, Nicola. x

Awwww .. thank YOU for your kind words. Come back soon!
Great property. So well equipped, fitted and decorated. Super dog friendly. Not bombarded with lots of rules like so many places. I defy you to get much nearer to miles of mostly deserted beach. Just awesome. Thanks Nicola!
