Camber Sands Holiday Cottages are a collection of attractive, traditionally-styled cottages and houses of character that have been furnished and equipped to a high standard, combining modern luxuries with traditional design for the perfect seaside retreat.  The cottages are ideally located in White Sand, a new village-style development just a few minutes' walk from the famous and breath-taking Camber Sands beach.  You could be forgiven for thinking you had washed up at the Hamptons, the eastern Long Island playground of New York's rich and famous.   Pretty weather-boarded houses in pastel colours and landscaping sympathetic to the local countryside provide the perfect seaside ambience with a touch of luxury that puts other coastal resorts in the shade.   This high class accommodation is putting Camber on the map as a seaside destination that offers the discerning holiday maker a quality seaside break.  There is so much to see and do in the area year round.  It is only two hours' drive from London, yet it seems a world away with the horizon-stretching vistas of Romney Marsh on your doorstep, and the beach a short stroll away.  Whatever the weather, the houses are comfortable and relaxing and invite guests to relax and unwind.

The Light House is a substantial 3 bedroom house that has been imaginatively furnished in an appealing, contemporary, seaside style with references to its namesake - lighthouses!  With its bright interior and stunning , sunny garden room, the house certainly lives up to its name!  The open plan kitchen, dining room and garden room are the perfect "hang out" or "chill out" area for groups of friends or families alike.  Meanwhile, the slightly more formal bright and sunny sitting room has a sofa bed that can sleep another two persons, making this house a very cost effective option for larger groups.  Situated in one of the quietest parts of the White Sands development, The Light House is adjacent to a peaceful meadow of wild flowers with further far reaching views of Romney Marsh.  The owners have equipped the property with guest's enjoyment, relaxation and comfort in mind.  One particular highlight is the sunny, south-facing, decked patio garden complete with barbecue / fire pit, dining table and chairs and inviting loungers - a perfect spot for relaxing in the sun or with a beer after a day on the beach.  Watersports and golfing devotees will appreciate the secure garage for storing wet suits, boards, golf clubs etc.  After a day on the beach there is no shortage of indoor and/or evening entertainment provided with an enormous 42" plasma TV with freeview and surround sound, stereo system and Play Station 3. 

Camber Sands beach is a two-and-a-half mile stretch of golden sands enclosed by picturesque dunes only two hour's drive from central London. It is being newly rediscovered as a UK holiday destination of choice and was voted number 9 of the 100 Best Beaches in the World by The Sunday Times Travel Magazine.  The unspoilt beauty of the beach as well as its sheer size have made it a popular location for fashion photo shoots and films including doubling as the Sahara Desert in a 'Carry On' film and as the Dunkirk evacuation beaches in several war epics. At low tide the sea can be as much as half a mile from the dunes which makes it a popular location for horse-riding and kite-buggying.  The clean and shallow water makes it ideal for children. 

With constant winds coming straight off the sea and from the vast expanse of the Romney Marshes, Camber has become a popular destination for watersports enthusiasts whilst the west winds and shallow sea make it a great place for kite-surfing.  Windsurfing, kitesurfing, waterski-ing, wakeboarding and jet ski-ing are all available locally either from the beach or on a large coastal lake just outside Camber.  There is also sailing on the river Rother 3 miles from Camber.  

For swimming, the beach boasts a yellow flag award from the MCS, the highest UK award for water quality standards. Golf lovers are well catered for with an impressive 44 courses within a 30 mile radius.  Tennis courts and bicycle hire are also available locally. There are many local walks with natural and historical points of interest.

The village of Camber has a couple of pubs including The Dunes café and restaurant, and the award-winning The Place at the Beach Bar and Grill offering a range of delicious dishes made from local, free range and organic ingredients.  The Rye Bay Beach Cafe has also recently opened, offering guests a further dining option within a few minutes stroll of the house. The delightful, medieval town of Rye (4 miles from Camber) also offers an excellent selection of pubs, cafés and restaurants.  Alternatively buy and barbecue your own fresh seafood!
