Rivage Beach House

Holiday Rental Description

Prepare to have the word 'seaside' redefined at this stunning home in one of Sandgate's most sought-after private gated roads. Stepping off the rear terrace, you're straight onto the pebbles and just metres from the water – it couldn't be closer to the sea if it tried, with far-reaching views all the way to France. Arranged over three floors and with the flexibility to sleep up to eleven of you, this place was designed for celebratory breaks away with family and friends. The decadent interiors are inspired by coastal chic and classical art, with an engaging wall mural by a local artist, while windows and balconies make the most of the views. Two living spaces and two kitchens mean some of your group can have more independence, while two dining tables on the first floor allow you all to eat together if you wish. For us, the balconies of the living room and the master bedroom are where the real magic of this place lies. Imagine stepping out each morning to admire the incredible sea view, or sipping drinks as the sun goes down. It's just a five-minute walk to Sandgate's pubs and restaurants, or walk along the beach to the charming eateries and bars of Folkestone's Harbour Arm and Creative Quarter in just half an hour.
