  The property generally was quite good but with a few problems.

  1. The wooden slats under the mattress were damaged causing the mattress to fall though them the first time I used it. I managed to patch them up temporarily. 2. The bedding was awful. All polyester- causing my wife and I to sweat profusely, made worse by the warm weather. We ended up buying a new cotton duvet cover, sheet and pillowcases. 3. The shower was excellent (one of the best I have ever used) but the shallowness of the shower tray meant I had to keep checking to see if it was overflowing. 4. Wi-Fi. Couldn't get it to work on any of our devices. Maybe it was my ineptitude. Maybe it was the complicated password which had been written with amendments added to it. Very frustrating. I gave up with it. 5. The Ninja had not been washed/cleaned prior to our arrival. There was a significant amount of oil and food residue left in it. I cleaned the inside containers myself but they were pretty grubby and needed soaking, suggesting to me they had not been cleaned properly for some time. 6. The house itself was good apart from the above niggles. The location was fantastic with easy walking access to the beach, Whitstable and Tankerton. The bus stopping outside was a real bonus allowing us to travel to Canterbury and Herne Bay. 7. Sykes. I didn't like doing business with the rental company. I thought the tone of their emails to be abrupt bordering on threatening. I was surprised by the booking fee. They charged me for a pet which I did not request. I won't book through them again.

  My wife and I had trouble with the steep stairs, The stair hand rail was inadequate. It should have one that it is possible to grip all round and not a "pinch" type. This will inevitably lead to an accident. The parking for No. 4 The Vines was very confined. The car park bay was so tight that it stopped us from to go out in case we had trouble on our return with two other bays occupied. That would leave it nearly impossible to park. I don't have a large car. The single beds in the second bedroom were not good for sitting on the edge of the bed whilst dressing The wooden bed surround is the problem. We had to shop for a scouring spung as there were none available in the Vines.. Only a small matter but irritating. Washing up after a meal is important to us. We cannot fault the location of No.4 but left the property a day early owing to the poor weather.

  Very good location for sea views and walking into town for the many good eatery’s, however, parking is tight and the narrow road to the property can be tricky due to parked cars and van particularly at open times for the near by pub. Very nice patio area at the front of the property but it can be noisy at opening and closing times of the near by pub due to many people walking directly pass the front of the property. Property has everything you would expect, good bed linen and towels, excellent showers. Bedrooms can be very light early in the morning as blinds are not that effective, not a problem if you are an early riser but we are not so a bit of an issue for us.

  Waves End is the ideal sea side bolt hole. We really enjoyed our stay and found everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house is in the ideal location, 2 minutes walk to the shops and restaurants (whilst still being on a quiet, residential road) and about 4 mins to the beach front where we saw the best sunset. The kitchen was really well equipped with everything needed, the beds are super comfortable and it was the perfect size house for a long weekend for our family of four. We fully recommend Birdies restaurant, a stones throw from the house - great food and lovely staff. We’ll definitely be back the next time we stay in Whitstable!

  The position of the cottage, overlooking Whitstable beach, is awe inspiring and absolutely stunning. When I entered, the property was bathed in light and the chic coastal inspired interior, a neutral colour palette, was absolutely gorgeous. The main bedroom was so comfortable and the beautiful bathroom next door was the icing on the cake. I can still picture the lounge with its wonderful window seat and breathtaking views. It was such a treat to wander out through the door and within seconds be on the beach. Oh to be in Whitstable. I can't wait to be back.
