What we love

– Roll-top bathtub
– Fully-equipped
Though this quaint Camber Sands cottage might look unassuming at first, behind its doors sits an idyllic seaside escape which wouldn’t look out of place in the Hamptons.
The White weatherboard property is true to its name, a bright white space filled with vintage furniture pieces and pastel-hued soft furnishings.
The cottage sleeps up to 10 people across four bedrooms, including three double bedrooms and a children’s-only bunkbed room complete with its own little library shelf.
The self-catering stay boasts a fully-equipped kitchen, perfect for whipping up family dinners. In the summer months, meals can be enjoyed on the large decking area outside in the garden.
Throw open the double doors, which line the full rear of the house, and allow the fresh air to circulate. Though the house is perfectly suited for summer, there’s also a log burner for chillier days, and a classic roll-top bath begging to be sank into after a wintery walk on the beach.
Though the cottage isn’t located on the shorefront, a private gate allows access over the dunes, meaning you can reach the rolling waves in a matter of minutes.
Lead pricing starts from £1,730 for three nights, though prices can vary throughout the year.

The quaint property is located on a sandy lane of beach houses, though sits out from its counterparts thanks to eye-catching black cladding.
With Camber Sands having recently been dubbed “Britain’s best beach for warm temperatures”, this cosy cottage is the perfect home-away-from-home for those hoping for a sunny seaside escape. Sunnyside can sleep up to six adults across three bedrooms and is also dog-friendly.
The cottage firmly routes guests by the sea, with nautical-themed decorative features including porthole-shaped mirrors in the bedroom and a quirky boat-inspired bar.
The outdoor space is perhaps one of the greatest assets of this home, with a huge grassy lawn perfect for garden games and a private sundeck ideal for soaking up the summer rays.
