Coastguards Beach House, a beautifully renovated 1875 Coastguards cottage, offers the perfect coastal retreat at Jury's Gap. Experience breathtaking views of both the sea and the marshland designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, all while being just steps away from the beach and a short distance from the charming village of Camber and the historic town of Rye. Inside, you'll find a cozy log burner, comfortable lounge, and modern kitchen, making it the ideal location for a relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Dining & Lounging
Coastguards Beach House has a contemporary and sociable open plan layout downstairs, ideal for enjoying the company of your holiday group. A log burning stove warms the space and sets the scene for relaxing with a good book and a glass of wine.
The newly equipped kitchen is fully stocked, with a breakfast bar and farmhouse dining table for planning the day ahead. For ingredients that are fresh as it gets, take a quick drive to Rye for seafood fresh from the boat and Romney marsh lamb from the local butchers. Talk to Beside the Sea for our recommendations!
Bed & Bath
Upstairs you'll find a beautiful, modern, family bathroom and two bedrooms.
The large, comfortable master bedroom has a double bed with views of the sea, coastal garden and adjoining coastguard cottages.
A family bathroom includes wash hand basin, w.c and a raised shower bath with screen, providing you a coveted choice between a relaxing bubble bath whilst stargazing, or a refreshing shower with a view of waves lapping the shore.
The second bedroom has two 3ft beds and a single fold away bed with un-spoilt views over the marsh. This room also benefits from an en-suite shower room with marsh views.
Outdoors
The cottage has a fully enclosed south-facing and quiet garden, the site of many relaxing holiday evenings after exploring historical sites, walking the marsh, and playing in the waves. The beach is just steps away over the seawall, with a paved boardwalk spanning its length for easy walks and jogs
Sea Defence Works and Nearby Military Firing Range
Our properties are situated near the Lydd Ranges, a historic military firing range that has been in use for over 150 years. This unique area is also a nature reserve and part of the Dungeness, Romney Marsh, and Rye Bay Site of Special Scientific Interest, home to incredibly rare plants and animals. While this adds to the natural beauty and significance of the area, it also means that certain times the ranges won't be accessible to walk along. Don't worry as there will still be several miles of beach to walk along as you head to Camber.
Military Firing Range Information:
Access to the foreshore is occasionally restricted due to live firing exercises. Red flags are flown during these times, indicating that access is prohibited for safety reasons.
When firing is not taking place, it may be possible to walk along a designated path along the shore, offering a chance to enjoy this unique environment.

An excellent stay, very near the beach, dramatic waves at a very high tide and all that we needed for a family break.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2020
All pans were huge, they need sensible sized saucepans. And the windows were filthy and it was hard to see the view. Otherwise great house.

A comfortable cottage, warm with books. Sadly next to a construction compound that started work at 7am. It is an ideal family summer roost, I would have liked more light in the kitchen area - a new bulb needed above the sink. And being short, using the microwave was a little tricky. We enjoyed our stay and of course the nearby beach is stunning. Thank you
6 / 10Average·Dec 2019
The comfort, design, furnishing and cleanliness is very good. The actual fabric of the cottage needs some TLC. Big stain on the ceiling of the lounge from a previous leak in the bathroom, very rattly and a bit rotten windows, Very rusted door handles on the front door (do appreciate its by the sea!), a number of cracks in various places, definitely general painting. Its well managed for sure and the bathroom and kitchen is all good. Its cute for 2 or 4 people but you would have to get on very well to have 7. The location is a bit more 'industrial' than I thought it would be with the Environment Agency storage depot next door and the barbed wire fence for the military base. The heating is good and fire makes it cosy. I think I saw a previous review that the fresh ground coffee is a nice touch and that some salt and pepper would be appreciated. Really small thing which I agree with. Comfortable stay and OK value for this low season. Feel cottage needs some TLC to make the high season prices seem a less top heavy but then if people continue to pay and stay then probably unlikely to happen!
