Great stay at Sunshine Villa
We hired for a week, and the three families (6 adults, 3 small children) gathered for a 60th birthday.
The house is beautiful: light and airy, plenty of space for our group, two bathrooms and v comfortable beds; and the location in Broadstairs is perfect. Close to everything but just slightly removed so nice and quiet.
The yard is on the small side, but that wasn't an issue for us, especially as the house is so close to the beach, and the slightly restricted parking (3 cars) didn't effect us.
Would highly recommend, and will stay again.

Thanks for your review. I am glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We hope you will come back again.
Our three-generation family had a wonderful stay despite the ropey weather! The house is so welcoming, and the shabby-chic style was definitely to our taste. Everything was spotless and in working order. Our kids were a little too old for the toys and games in the small upstairs room but this is a lovely addition for young children.
Location is fantastic. Only five minutes walk to the beach, just a few metres from the main street (very close to two great Fish & Chip shops and on a quiet street.
We all thoroughly recommend the property for large family groups or friends.
This property is very comfortable and has everything you might need on holiday. It is only a few minutes walk to the sea and the nearby shops and restaurants.
The weather was not good so we spent a lot of time at the house my 4 year old granddaughter loved the playroom and lounge had plenty of seating for us ,well equipped kitchen lots of quirky pieces about the house,great location 2 mins from beach.the beds were so comfy and linen beautiful, Great holiday
This Apartment has everything, yards away from pubs, restaurants, beach, but tucked away in a quiet street. we will definitely go back, the best holiday apartment i have ever been in.
Lovely house which was well equipped with everything we needed for our weeks stay. Location is brilliant - very close to the high street and beach, yet still nice and quiet of an evening. We will be back!
Have been working on NHS front line for past year or so, first proper escape away and it was all I'd hoped it would be and we got good weather. Thank you

Perfect location for dog walks on the beach. Great house with plenty of space for large groups - kitchen was so well equipped and lovely hostess.
Can’t wait to return - thank you xx
We really enjoyed our stay but the fact that one toilet was out of service and the beds have seen better days was a shame. A spruce up of the kitchen would make it wow!

I am glad you enjoyed your stay with us. I am sorry that the toilet was out of order but I did let you know before you arrived. Its was difficult to replace the toilet when I only had one day to do this in-between bookings. We have now put a new toilet in the day you left which was our only free day in-between bookings. There was two other toilets in the house. I did leave you some wine, flowers, cakes milk for the inconvenience.
We replaced all the single beds during lockdown with hotel mattresses. We use hotel linen and towels which you didnt mention.
We have never had anyone mention the kitchen or the beds before in any of my 100s of reviews I will look into this. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Lovely house with very comfortable beds. Everything you could need. Fabulous location. Lots of pubs ,restaurants and cafes to choose from on your doorstep. Short walk to the train station which will take you to Margate ,Ramsgate and Canterbury .
Sunshine Villa is a lovely house and for our family, very good, location was excellent.

Gorgeous holiday home
Stayed for 4 nights. 7 of us ranging from 68-15. We had an amazing time away and we were very lucky with with the warm sunny weather. House was clean, well equipped and very comfy. We took advantage of the short walk (10 mins) to the train station an visited Deal, Margate and Canterbury. Very reasonable priced tickets and short journeys. We had a memorable family break away and would come back.

Beautiful home for two families with young children
We were two families with three children under 5. The house was absolutely lovely and had everything we needed for a short break, including plenty of crockery and utensils for cooking a large breakfast and evening meal for 8. The chidren’s play room was a fantastic bonus and had plenty of things to keep the kids entertained.
The location is absolutely brilliant. So close to the lovely beach, restaurants and station too. Having a space to park the car was also really handy and allowed us to drive to Margate, Botany Bay and Ramsgate.
The owner really has thought of everything! We would definitely like to stay again in the future.

Ein wirklich gemütliches Ferienhaus
Es war schön in dem Haus Urlaub zu machen. Es hatte alles was man brauchte und wollte. Ein paar Kleinigkeiten waren nicht perfekt, aber wer findet nichts zu meckern. Es ist ideal gelegen. Ein kurzer Weg zum Strand oder zu den Geschäften. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit hier.

Fabulous home, perfect location!!!
Me and my brother stayed for three nights in this fabulous house! I love the fact it has a drive so no fighting for a parking space or paying extortionate parking prices. I have a Q7 and it fit ok it just poked over the drive a little but it is a big car! The house had absolutely everything you could possibly want/need, even an outdoor area. I love all the traditional features. I love the fact it's in the heart of Broadstairs, close to shops, restaurants which we dined in every evening. I would recommend the new Greek restaurant and American Grill! Food was outstanding! The Chinese restaurant was lovely too. I would most definitely stay again!!!!! Janette the owner is speedy at answering questions, fantastic communication. Thank you again Janette!!!!!!
