Travelers seeking an unforgettable coastal escape can now book The View, a five-floor townhouse nestled within Folkestone's iconic Shoreline building—a gleaming, wave-shaped white structure that rises directly from the pebbled beach. Priced from £440 per night with a minimum three-night stay, this luxurious rental sleeps four and offers direct beach access, making it a prime choice for couples or small groups.
Unmatched Location and Design
Located in Folkestone, Kent, the property is under an hour from London via high-speed train, or roughly two hours by car. The townhouse's front door opens directly onto the beach, while its high-ceilinged living room features a curved balcony providing an unbroken panorama of the English Channel. The interior is meticulously equipped, including a kitchen with a 12-bottle wine fridge, and the master bedroom boasts an ensuite bathroom.
Guests can spend entire mornings people-watching from the balcony, and despite the ambient sounds of pebbles and passers-by, closing the doors envelops the space in luxurious quiet. When ready to explore, the Harbour Arm's food stalls and the Creative Quarter's galleries are a short stroll along the seafront.
Local Amenities and Highlights
The property's prime location places Folkestone's attractions within easy reach. The beach is literally on the doorstep, while Folkestone Harbour's food stalls and the Lighthouse Champagne Bar are just a walk away. The Creative Quarter's cobbled galleries are a short journey up towards town.
For wellness enthusiasts, the Sea Scrub Sauna—the largest beach sauna in the country—is a mere two minutes along the boardwalk, offering wood-fired huts, cold plunges, and a hot tub. As Amy Houghton, a contributing writer, notes, "Lucky for you, it's only two minutes along the boardwalk."
Booking and Practical Information
The View accommodates four guests across two double bedrooms, with the master featuring an ensuite. The nightly rate starts at £440, with a minimum three-night stay required. This seafront townhouse offers a rare blend of architectural distinction, modern comfort, and prime beachfront positioning, making it an ideal base for exploring the Kent coast.
