Photos and Description of the Kent vacation house rental Stunning unique 'deco' house in peaceful Palm Bay minutes to spectacular beach.

Offering sea glimpses from the first floor, this breathtaking 1937 house is resplendent in its position in the prestigious peaceful Palm Bay area of Cliftonville between Margate and Broadstairs on the Isle of Thanet in Kent. The spectacular bays and beaches are within a few minutes walk and the seaside resort of Margate (for traditional pursuits including deck chairs, ice cream and donkeys!) and the enchanting town of Broadstairs both about half an hour stroll or ten minutes drive. Please note that if you are looking for an all-mod-cons type of stay then the Pink House is not for you but if you would feel at home in a truly beautiful 1930s house, with retro crockery and original features then we'd love to welcome you!

There is so much to see and do round here that I simply don't have room to list it all. Margate was the first English seaside resort and retains the traditional activities - donkey rides, deckchairs, paddling, 99s -it's all still here!, . For adults Margate has the fascinating Shell Grotto, the wonderful Mad Hatter's Tea Shop open every Saturday in the Old Town and the eccentric Walpole Bay Hotel with its delicious old-fashioned (and priced!) Sunday lunches, with piano accompaniment, and afternoon teas on the terrace. For those interested in architecture Margate has over 400 listed buildings and many fine houses retained from more prosperous times. Broadstairs is totally charming with lovely shops, restaurants and famous original ice cream parlours. Ramsgate is only a few minutes drive further and has a good selection of shops and restaurants. There's also Dickens' Bleak House to view and Pugin's house at Ramsgate is open occasionally.

Additional information about rental rates

  • Arrival time is strictly AFTER 4pm and departure BY 11am. The key won't be available until 4pm on arrival day. We have to be strict on this for the sake of our lovely housekeeper.

    Rates include all utilities and linens except beach towels. We don't expect our guests to spend their holiday cleaning but do ask that they leave the house as they would wish to find it.

    The rentals stated cover up to four people. For each additional person there is a charge of £25 per stay to cover the extra utility, laundry and cleaning costs.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Kent, United Kingdom

The Pink House is a fabulous example of 1930s architecture; often thought of as 'deco' but actually 'modern', which confuses people who are expecting a brick box! It has a lovely large light living/dining room with three walls of windows including French doors onto the sunny terrace and a jaw-dropping huge circular window, a generous hall with study area, kitchen and downstairs cloakroom. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom and separate loo. The front bedroom has a wall of windows offering sea glimpses and a door to the wrap-around balcony. It has a very comfortable king-size bed sourced from the Savoy hotel and original built-in wardrobes and bedside tables. The garden bedroom faces south and west and is also very light with sea glimpses from the west windows. This room also boasts a bed from the Savoy - it's massive and like sleeping on angels' wings - and matching bedside tables. The third bedroom is smaller and can be a single or twin room.

The bathroom has the original bath and basin and a large rooflight so is also bathed (sorry) in natural light. Palm Bay is a very quiet residential area of Cliftonville, which has a parade of useful shops including a wonderful old-fashioned baker and several small independent shops along with banks, cafés and a Tesco Metro. The beach is just around the corner and has a permanent seawater swimming pool a little way along and the Palm Bay café for home-cooked treats. There's water sports available and miles of beach in both directions. Joss Bay is a pleasant walk away and is a surfers' paradise and other beautiful bays include Botany and Walpole Bay. Thanet has a record ten Blue Flag beaches (that's an eighth of the country's total!) so you can be assured that they are safe as well as stunning.

Quintessential Art Deco weekend

Peipei USA
Review Submitted: November 1, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
The Pink house in Margate allowed us to experience our most authentic weekend in England. Located on a residential street the nights were perfectly silent and the smell of the sea and seagulls flying outside the bedroom window were so calming. The bedroom and grand staircase contained furnishings and lamps from The Savoy hotel in London. Three bedrooms upstairs were all so comfortable and surprisingly large. The tub is great with dual toned original tiles bathroom and skylight for musing. We thoroughly enjoyed using the retro kitchen including the grill which made perfect crumpets. All the details were in character from the celadon dishes to the kindly next door neighbor who helped us with directions. The place is really put together with loving care. When one sees Bauhaus English modern houses in books they seem a little austere, but what doesn’t come across is how luxurious and comfortable they are to inhabit.. When you experience space in the drawing room, you are brought back in time to an age of sensible elegance. Sitting by the fire in the evening with the lovely Art Deco mirrors and Bauhaus masterpiece of a fireplace over sherry we almost thought we were expecting the Duke and Duchess of Windsor to “pop round.” The long windows look out on both front and back gardens. Incredible roses, lavender, and iris were in bloom when we visited (June) and the garden was exquisitely manicured. The landlady was a delight to work with and left all kinds of literature about the Shell Grotto which really cannot be missed. We ordered in Chinese and felt like Auntie Mame dining beside our moon gate window. Margate is an absolute quirky paradise, with the grand Walpole Hotel, dance hall, pubs, beachside gardens and the inimitable Mad Hatters Tearoom. Unlike Brighton, which is nice but totally pimped out with yuppie fervor, two days in Margate is not enough to explore this laidback throwback of a seaside town. To us luxury is in detail and the personal touch. The Pink house, if you can book in, is the most de luxe place we stayed anywhere in Europe.
