“A lovely place to stay, very comfortable, right on the seafront. The apartment (Seascape) was lovely and had everything we needed for our stay. The bed was particularly comfortable! A lovely touch is the larder and fridge with an honesty box in the hallway – so useful if you forget something. The location was great too, just a short walk into town. We will be back!”

“We stayed in the Captain’s Cabin. The Beach Escapes was the best self-catering accommodation we have stayed in. Everything was perfect. Sophie and Jon have thought of everything you could possibly need and more besides. It was spotlessly clean, and everything was of the highest quality – the facilities, fixtures and fittings, and decor. The beachside location and private terrace are beautiful. We will definitely be back!”

GD, July 2024
“We had a really lovely stay, the location is amazing, beautiful view of the sea and beach. Great for walking to Hythe, Sandgate and Folkestone. The accommodation is well thought out a lovely welcome hamper and all the kitchen equipment you could need. We felt really at home. All the love and care that was demonstrated by Sophie in all the home comforts and thought with the things provided and those you could access from the community fridge and cupboard were fabulous. Thank you so much for such a special time.”

“Gorgeous location right on the beach, perfect for sea swimming and relaxing on the terrace. Had a wonderful meal at The Waterfront (restaurant 3mins walk away). Short walk to all amenities and lovely park and canal with boats to hire just behind the property. Very comprehensive visitors guide provided by the host with many local attractions. Highly recommended!”

“An amazing place to stay – It was home from home, everything was catered for. The rooms are a great size & so homely. The welcome pack was perfect & the pantry is a great idea. The instructions were so helpful, nice to have a parking space.”
JG, May 2024

You can tell that much care was taken in planning everything to make this a wonderful stay. Every detail was thought out from the welcome basket to the design of the suite to the little info booklet.”

“Amazing location and the apartment has everything you could need. The views are lovely and it’s very peaceful. Sophie & Jon left a hamper with Easter treats and a card which is such a nice touch. The bed has to be the most comfortable I have ever slept on. Would definitely stay again in the future. ”
RS, March 2024
“Beautiful apartment in a wonderful location. Home from home with a completely stocked kitchen. Couldn’t have asked for more. Will definitely visit again. Thank you very much.”
LD, Sept 2024
“This Apartment is beautiful, and we didn’t want for anything. We loved it and the fact that you can just sit on the balcony looking at the sea is priceless. The bed is very comfortable, decoration beautiful, facilities great and I am desperate to return!”
JM, August 2024
“We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful and comfortable apartment. Access directions and arrangements were clear, a minor query was responded to very quickly. The apartment is in a great location right on the sea front and is very well supplied and maintained. The area is quiet, and we were really able to fully relax. There is a fab restaurant /beach bar within 3 minutes walking distance and plenty of places to eat in Hythe. We’d definitely go again.”
JM, August 2024
“A beautiful apartment which has everything you need for a relaxing break. The decor has been chosen with great care to match its location. As it’s in such a great position in Hythe once you’ve parked the car you need not use it again.
We’ve stayed here twice now, and it doesn’t disappoint. Will definitely stay again.
Nearby activities: Perfect for the beach obviously as it’s just feet away . Beautiful park with tennis courts, fields for children to play. Lovely canal sidewalks. RHD Railway. Great restaurants, especially The Waterfront 5mins walk away. The Lazy Shack for super breakfasts and the High Street…all within 15 mins walk.
Walkability: Perfect location to walk everywhere in Hythe. No need to use the car.”
JR, August 2024
“Sophie was a fantastic host – really responsive and flexible with checking in and out. The house was spotless, had all the amenities you’d need for cooking and entertaining, and was literally right on the beach just steps away from the ocean. We loved our stay!”
NH, July 2024
“Sophie’s place was just what we needed. Prime location on the beach, great views and was even blessed with good weather. Great inside/out. Extras provided were an excellent touch!”
JG, July 2024
“Excellent apartment. It had everything you needed. Perfect location. A really lovely relaxing break and lovely hosts. Would definitely recommend.”
SJ, July 2024
“Cannot recommend this fabulous Holiday apartment highly enough. From the location to the carefully sourced finishing touches highlighting its great position on the sea front. The owners have literally thought of everything. We stayed in Stones Throw with our little Chihuahua who had her own room! I slept on the double sofa bed which was very comfortable and easy to pull out while my daughter and granddaughter shared the spacious double bedroom. Perfect break. Thank you 🤩
Nearby activities: Port Lympne Safari Park
Canterbury
Walkability: Beach right outside property
Food & drinks: Good restaurants and country pubs
Noteworthy details: Waitrose and Sainsburys nearby”
JB, June 2024
“We thought the apartment was extremely comfortable and everything one could need was provided. A generous welcome pack and so clean and beautifully decorated and maintained. A pleasure to stay in and then there was the addition of a spacious terrace area overlooking the sea! Great to have a dedicated parking space. We can highly recommend Beach Escapes.”
AP, June 2024
“This was our second stay and definitely not our last. The apartment and hospitality is second to none – great contact, easy check in instructions, attention to detail to make you feel welcomed and special. Beach Escapes is all you could wish for and more – beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. We stayed at Stone’s Throw with Arlo the wonder dog on both occasions, and he loves it as much as we do with his own sleeping area and treats. Door to beach is just a few strides and there’s plenty of local amenities within easy and flat walking distance.
The only downside is when the time comes to check out and leave this beautiful seaside retreat.”
JB, May 2024
“We stayed in the Sandpiper apartment and found it to be comfortable, brilliantly appointed and an excellent place for a break – an absolute credit to the owners. A short walk through the park gets you into Town and the promenade gives scope for long walks, taking in the sea air. ”
CR, May 2024
“Wonderful apartment, fully furnished with everything you could wish for provided. Private parking space for each apartment at back of property.
We had the upstairs apartment, views magnificent, lovely balcony to sit out on if weather behaves.
High street is a 10-15 minute walk, with lots of independent shops with a Waitrose and Sainsbury’s close by as well.”
LC, May 2024
“My partner and I spent a week at Beach Escapes, Admirals Nest, in April this year. The apartment was beautiful and very comfortable. Loved the sea views from every window as well as our balcony. The welcome basket was a nice touch along with the pantry items, check-in process was quite straightforward. Location was ideal right on seafront but an easy walk to the high street. Runs along the seafront were enjoyable and walking to Folkestone one sunny day very pleasant. The canal in Hythe adds another beautiful spot for walks and relaxing. The Waterfront Cafe was great for drinks/dinner and the Lazy Shack for breakfast/lunch. Thanks Sophie and Jon for a lovely stay.”
JJ, May 2024
“We had a fantastic stay in Sophie’s beautiful apartment. It exceeded our expectations. Modern, comfortable, spotlessly clean with a lot of considerate touches as well. Sea views and the beach on your doorstep – it doesn’t get much better! We can’t recommend staying here highly enough.”
AS, April 2024
“Despite the fact we had extremely strong winds for our stay the location allowed us to watch the massive waves crashing over the sea wall. It is a very short walk to the lovely Waterfront restaurant. Very easy to walk to the high street and only a short drive to Folkestone which is a great place to explore. So yes we enjoyed a great couple of days at Beach Escapes, thankyou Sophie. ”

Just some of the reviews from our fantastic Beach Escapers...
“We had a wonderful 30th Anniversary stay in this quality accommodation. The decor is very tasteful and everything is well thought out. We stayed in dog friendly Stone’s Throw so our cavachon could enjoy the holiday too. The location is unbeatable as it’s adjacent to the promenade. The kitchen is well equipped and we preferred to stay in for our meals and enjoy the ambience. (Apart from a great breakfast at the Lazy Shack.)”
V.A – March 2024
“Sophie and her team have got this offer ‘spot on’! It is beautifully maintained, well located and the attention to detail is superb! We would thoroughly recommend the property. The only problem is that if we do this, then it will not be available for a repeat booking from us; which we will undoubtedly do! We cannot wait for our next visit!”
J.D March 2024
“Not only a perfect location, but a delightful place to stay. Hoping to book my third year in the coming months.”
M. Newman – March 2024
“A most enjoyable 3 night stay in the Captain’s Cabin apartment.
Extremely well equipped; comfy bed; top quality towels and wonderful location. A bonus to have a private, designated parking space. Great attention to detail throughout.”
C.W – Feb 2024
“Fabulous apartment, very clean and well equipped. Location was perfect for great walks along the seafront as well as the Military Canal and ending the day sitting on the balcony watching the sun go down. Great places to eat too. Certainly one of the best apartments we have stayed in.”
L.Lamoury – Oct 2023
“The owners have thought of everything in this beautiful apartment. The apartment was spotlessly clean, spacious and so well equipped that it was like being at home. The location is spectacular – right on the beach so perfect for walks and swimming. The town centre is within a 7 minute walk with lovely independent shops as well as a big Waitrose. I took the bus to Folkestone – loved it – with the bus stop again so close. Thank you for all the start up provisions and helpful advice to check in ”
T.Hoare – Sept 2023
“Highly recommended. Great location just a stone’s throw from the beach. Very well equipped accommodation. Nice touch with a lovely welcome pack. Good base to explore Kent from. Many thanks to our hosts for letting us use their first class accommodation. ”
S.Manson – Sept 2023
“This is a beautiful apartment right on the edge of the beach with uninterrupted views to the French coast. The fixtures, furniture and equipment are of a very high standard and the attention to detail is commendable. This property is an absolute credit to the owners.”
S.Lynch – June 2023
“Stones Throw is a superb apartment and certainly lived up to our expectations of home from home comfort. Absolutely first-class accommodation, facilities and equipment and my wife and I thoroughly recommend its hire. ”
M.Stockham – May 2023
“Beautifully presented comfortable apartment! Everything you could possibly need has been thought of. Great location (not only as literally on the beach) but also as only a short walk into Hythe itself with small selection of shops/cafes etc, rowing boats on the military canal. Unfortunately, click2cycle wasn’t open for hire bikes. Easy drive into Dover for the castle/white cliffs and for Park & Ride for Canterbury. And to top it off, a fab welcome basket on arrival. ”
S Bicheno – May 2023
“What a lovely place to stay! We were lucky enough to have 3 nights in the Admiral’s Deck, superbly equipped and so clean and well presented. Welcome basket of goodies was very considerate and appreciated. Had 3 great nights sleep in the superking bed listening to the waves on the beach. Only request would be for a user guide for the oven! Would love to return and hopefully will!!”
S.C – March 2024
“What a wonderful place. I stayed in the Admiral’s Deck Apartment and was blown away when I got there. The decor and furnishings were 1st class and it was immaculate . Staying right on the seafront was amazing and I was pleased I had the balcony to sit and enjoy the views! I really can’t fault anything and would definitely stay here again.”
H.B March 2024
“Had an amazing few days the apartment was beautiful everything you needed from the kitchen to the bathroom was there . We had a warm welcome from Sophie and was shown around the apartment, we will definitely be back.”
J.B – Feb 2024
“The cottage was superb in every way and totally luxurious. Facilities first class with very clear guides and instructions. Would happily recommend the cottage to others.”
R.Hall – Jan 2024
“Perfect accommodation, location and very helpful/friendly owners. We will definitely be going there again and again. Please be aware that the property is on one level, but the normal access is via 17 steps. The good news is one can drive along the promenade to access, from the same level, for loading and unloading. ”
C.Sleight – Oct 2023
“I cannot recommend this residence enough we stayed in the Lookout and cannot fault it for the decor cleanliness and attention to detail that the owners have thoughtfully created ”
W.Garwood – Sept 2023
“Delightful place to stay, location great, everything about our stay at The Beaches Escape was just PERFECT! ”
L.Kelly – Sept 2023
“A very comfortable and relaxing place to stay. It was beautiful to be able to look over the beach from the balcony – so peaceful. Also it was so convenient for the centre of Hythe. A place definitely to be recommended.”
S.Williams – August 2023
“The apartment was exceptional and everything was of a very high standard including the provision of all the equipment you could possibly need and thoughtful additions such as beach towels and the welcome hamper. The attention to detail was superb. Much time and effort had been made in creating and furnishing the apartment.. We were fortunate that the good weather meant we could take advantage of sitting in the patio area where again comfortable cushions and umbrellas made a difference. ”
E.Savage – May 2023
“The most beautiful flat in a perfect location right on the beach. Shops and restaurants are a quick walk away too. The apartment is immaculate, even more gorgeous than in the listing! We spent a week there and loved it.”
