Eightysixbythesea is located on a quiet cul-de-sac a five minute walk from the train station, High Street, pubs and restaurants and sandy beaches. It's close enough to walk everywhere but just far enough away from the hubbub to relax away from the crowds. There are local food shops and takeaways on the High Street, and a large supermarket approximately a 7 minute drive away.

There are regular buses and trains if you want to venture further afield, with bus stops and the train station a 5 minute walk away. Parking outside the property can be in high demand on a hot summer day but there is off-street parking for one medium car with the ability to park another across the driveway. On street parking outside the property is free and unrestricted.

If your stay is during peak or bank holidays and you wish to dine in a particular restaurant we highly recommend booking early as Broadstairs gets very busy, and restaurants tend to be fully booked well in advance.
