Business Operation

Expansion Potential:

There are several avenues that could be explored to enhance the earning potential of Seastar. The simplest and probably most requested would be to offer short breaks which offer greater income potential due to the uptick in price which is normally accepted. Additionally, Seastar could potentially sleep larger groups and therefore command a higher tariff with expansion into the loft space subject to the usual permissions, fire regulations and so on. Our pricing structure remains 'competitive' for the type of holiday we offer and this has been our personal choice but there is certainly potential to revise the pricing structure and expenditure.

Competition / Market:

Within Kent we believe Seastar to be unrivalled and unique in offering such high quality, well equipped accommodation for the mobility impaired and their families and guests. Genuinely accessible accommodation continues to be in short supply throughout the UK and holiday homes as well provisioned and as well positioned as Seastar are very rare indeed, giving Seastar an amazing USP and making it an all year round business. The only marketing costs have been a modest subscription to Accessible Holiday Escapes which is a professionally run and organised website aimed at our customer database and provides an interesting like for like comparison with other properties.
