About this property

Half Moon - a cottage that sleeps 5 guests in 3 bedrooms

Tucked away on the charming White Sand development, just a five-minute stroll from the golden shores of Camber Sands, Half Moon Cottage is the kind of place where family memories are made. Painted in a cheerful sea-blue and brimming with coastal charm, this lovely three-bedroom cottage is perfect for families (and their four-legged friends, too!).
Let the dog explore the fully enclosed garden while you relax in the hammock or fire up the charcoal BBQ for an al fresco feast. Inside, French antique beach-house furnishings meet modern comforts, creating a warm and welcoming space to unwind after a day at the beach.
Cottage Highlights:
Sleeps 5 across three bedrooms
Dog friendly – because holidays are better with paws on the sand
Baby friendly – Mamas & Papas highchair, travel cot, and fixed stair gate provided
5-minute walk to the beach
5 miles from historic Rye
Fully enclosed garden with decking, table & chairs, and hammock
Nespresso coffee machine for lazy holiday mornings
Wi-Fi, TV, DVD player and iPod dock
Board games, books and DVDs for rainy-day entertainment
Off-road parking for 2 cars
Sleep Easy
Upstairs, you'll find a spacious master bedroom with a comfy double bed and an en-suite with shower, WC and basin. The second bedroom offers two charming single beds, and the third is a cosy single – perfect for little ones or solo sleepers. A bright family bathroom with bath and overhead shower completes the first floor.
Dine In or Alfresco
The ground floor is designed for easy living, with a modern open-plan kitchen and dining area—everything you need to whip up breakfast, lunch, or dinner at home. A large table makes mealtimes a breeze, and the sunny sitting room across the hall invites you to kick back with a good film or your favourite show after a day of salty air and sandy toes.
Outside Space
The south-facing garden is fully enclosed, offering privacy and peace of mind. Dine outdoors, soak up the sea breeze, or simply enjoy a good book in the hammock. The kids (and the dog!) will love having the freedom to roam while you relax.
Explore the Area
Step out of your front door and into adventure. From kite-flying and sandcastle-building on Camber Sands to wandering the cobbled streets of nearby Rye, this corner of 1066 Country is steeped in history, character, and charm. With Kent's “Garden of England” and East Sussex's stunning coastline both on your doorstep—and London just 90 minutes away—you'll never run out of things to discover.
Half Moon Cottage is a seaside escape with a little bit of everything: comfort, character, and a whole lot of Camber charm. Whether you're planning family beach days, countryside rambles or simply looking to switch off and unwind, this coastal retreat is ready to welcome you.
Book your break today and start counting down to sandy feet and sea air. [Emoji Removed]

schöner Urlaub
Ein sehr schönes und liebevoll eingerichtetes Ferienhaus. eigentlich für eine Familie mit Kindern , da bei 5 Erwachsenen die Ablaageflächen für die Kleidung sehr spartanisch sind. Alles in Allem war es ein toller Aufenthalt

Super
Half Moon Cottage ist ein wirklich schönes Ferienhaus in einer hübschen Ferienhaussiedlung. Es ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und auch der Garten ist gepflegt und man sitzt gerne draußen. Der Strand ist zu Fuß schnell erreicht, entweder über die Dünen laufen, oder am li Parkplatz ebenerdig zum Strand gelangen . An Ausflugszielen mangelt es nicht, Rhy ist echt klasse, Hastings-Battle interessant, Ashford Outlet mal ein gutes Outlet ,usw. Von Ashford kann man gut mit dem Zug nach London fahren ( Tickets am Schalter holen, komischerweise billiger als am Automaten). Die Hausverwalter Richard und Sophie haben sich sehr gut um uns gekümmert, das Haus war sauber, Betten bezogen, Begrüßungskuchen und Kekse + Getränke standen da. Richard hat uns sogar super geholfen als wir einen Platten hatten. (Thank you very much ,Richard). Wir hatten jetzt keine kleinen Kinder dabei, aber im Haus steht alles was man braucht und auch der Strand ist für kleine Klinder ideal. Kleine Supermärkte gibts im Ort oder in Rye. Insgesamt ein schönes Haus für einen schönen Urlaub

Beautiful house, very thoughtfully presented.
We were so impressed with the house and everything that was provided. It makes such a difference that things like tea, coffee, bin liners, toilet rolls and dishwasher tablets were provided. It shows how much thought has gone into letting this house. It was lovely that the house was child and dog friendly. We would definitely stay again.

A beautiful house in a great location
A really lovely house with everything you could want for a comfortable break away. Lovely furnishings which gave it a lux hotel feel, but with the convenience of a home; ideal for young families but the grown ups still feel a bit spoilt. It really is a short walk to the beautiful beaches and lots to do in the area. Would highly recommend in terms of location & facilities. We ordered a food delivery from the supermarket when we arrived so it was the most hassle free holiday we've had. But the delicious cake waiting for us on arrival was still very welcome. Thank you for a lovely home from home!

Wir waren zufrieden...
Das Ferienziel Camber ist ein Ort der mehr oder weniger für Touristen gebaut ist. Dieses Haus leigt in einem Wohngebiet, welches aus lauter schmucken Ferienhäusern besteht. Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt und durchaus zu empfehlen. Das Haus selbst ist sehr sauber und wohnlich eingerichtet. Von daher keine Beanstandung. In der Ausstattung sollten Handtücher mit dabei sein und das waren sie auch - jedoch etwas knapp berechnet. Wir hätten uns doch jeder ein Handtuch und ein Badetuch pro Person gewünscht. Toll war es, dass man drei Bäder zur Verfügung hat. Die Küchenausstattung ist ebenfalls gut und zweckmäßig. Im Kühlschrank fehlten die Einsätze in der Tür - somit konnten Flaschen und Milchtüten nur schlecht gelagert werden. Wer im Urlaub häufig essen geht und auch sonst nicht viel kocht, dem wird die Ausstattung reichen. Für mich, die ich gerne auch selbst koche und in den landestypischen Produkten schwelge, war es ein wenig sparsam ausgestattet. Aber Not macht erfinderisch.... Die umliegenden Geschäfte (zu empfehlen ist der Salts Farm Shop an der Straße nach Rye) bieten eine große Auswahl an vorbereiteten Gerichten, die man nur noch im Backofen erwärmen muss. Supermarktempfehlung: Morrisons in Hastings. Ein toller Backofen ist vorhanden - er war sehr praktisch, durch die Aufteilung in zwei Backbereiche. Die "Kaffeemaschine" stellte sich als puristisches Modell zum manuellen Kaffee kochen heraus, mit Sieb zum herunter drücken. OK - Briten sind eher Tee-Trinker - aber eine Kaffeemaschine wäre schöner. Da sind wir verwöhnt :-) Schlafzimmer sind alle in Ordnung, sauber und groß genug. Zwei Zimmer haben jedoch keinen Kleiderschrank - evtl. muss dann alles in den einen Schrank im dritten Schlafzimmer - der ist groß. Sehr gut gefallen hat mir die Möglichkeit, die Treppe, die sehr steil ist, mit einem Verschluss abriegeln zu können. So können Kleinkinder nachts auf dem Weg zur Toilette oder den Eltern, nicht die Treppe hinunter fallen! Alle Fenster sind so gebaut, dass man sie gut abdunkeln kann. So blieb es immer schön kühl. Der "Garten" ist schlicht und eher karg, da nur wenige Pflanzen ein trauriges Dasein fristen. Jedoch gibt es einen Grill und Feuerstelle und Sitzgarnituren, die wir gerne genutzt haben. Der Strand ist in schnell erreichbarer Nähe. Ein schöner Sandstrand, der gut besucht wird, hinter Dünen gelegen. Muscheljägern sei gesagt: Kaum Muscheln zu finden! Das Haus hat uns gut gefallen - vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt !
