About this property
Boasting simply stunning views over the seafront at Seaton in the heart of Devon, is this delightful second-floor apartment, Sunnybeach. A wonderful base for families or couples on holiday together looking to explore the delights of Devon, Sunnybeach offers spacious and well-presented accommodation. A light and airy open-plan living space greets the visitor on arrival where there is a good-sized sitting area, a feature electric fireplace and extensive windows with direct views overlooking Seaton seafront. The dining area is extremely inviting and with those captivating views makes it a magnificent area for enjoying long, sociable meals. Talking of meals, step into the sleek, fully fitted kitchen which has everything needed to create delicious food for your holiday party including an attractive breakfast bar ideal for pulling up a stool and relaxing at while the chef cooks up a storm. If the sun is shining (which it does a lot in Devon!) then a particular feature of the apartment is the magnificent sunroom and roof terrace situated on the floor above. You can imagine spending many happy hours up here, relaxing at the patio table, enjoying time together, soaking up those captivating views and generally getting into the holiday vibe. When the stars come out and night falls, it’s time to make your way to bed and you can choose from either a king-size or a double; both are beautifully presented and offer delightful views from the windows. In the morning, after a refreshing shower or a relaxing soak in the bath, why not take breakfast on the roof terrace and plan your day? The obvious choice is a day at the beach at Seaton which is just a stone’s throw away or you can take the tram from here to Colyton for a scenic journey along the coast. Hop in the car for some great days out including Axe Valley Wildlife Park, Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary, Forde Abbey and Gardens, Pecorama, Beer Quarry Caves and Tunnel Tree Tops. Beaches are a top destination here so pack a picnic and head for West Bay, Weymouth, Charmouth and Branscombe for a day to remember. Sunnybeach is the perfect holiday destination.
Seaton is a seaside town in East Devon on the south coast. It faces onto Lyme Bay, to the west of the mouth of the River Axe with red cliffs to one side and white cliffs on the other. Axmouth and Beer are nearby. A sea wall provides access to the mostly shingle beach stretching for about a mile, and a small harbour. Seaton is on the stretch of Devon coastline, known as the Jurassic Coast, a designated World Heritage Site, and the town offers a good range of shops, friendly cafes, restaurants and pubs.

I canât believe it got couch good reviews, so hereâs my opinion:- The good - brilliant views of the sea from the front windows and a good sized spacious apartment. The bad - badly in need of new windows and radiators which are rusting. Windows in the front room were filthy too. The ugly - areas of the apartment hadnât been cleaned before we arrived. The fridge was disgusting, one of the beds slept in and not changed and two of the toilets were revolting, with faeces left in and obviously uncleaned and they smelled absolutely disgusting. The fridge needed cleaning as did the windows and the roof terrace was filthy with bird muck hence we didnât use it. The shower in the smaller bedroom had no hot water and if you need to do any kind of work while youâre away (which we did), donât rely on the internet as the connection is terrible. We had to use the local Tesco as we couldnât do what we needed in the apartment. We were promised £150 compensation for all this which, almost a month on has yet to be received. I wouldnât recommend this place at all.

The accommodation was so much more than I expected. Typically, when I see pictures of a rental, it looks big and spacious and then in reality it's small. Definitely not this place! There was so much room and it was so very comfortable. The view of the ocean right in the living room and kitchen was literally the best, or maybe it was hanging out on the roof-top terrace. I can't stop raving about this place to my family and friends and have already recommended one of my colleagues stay here. There's parking, the view is literally the beach, how can you get any better than that, it's walking distance to everything you need. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and would definitely want to come back sooner rather than later! Honestly, one of the best places that I've stayed so far- it's clean, spacious, there's a cute welcome package where I ate all the cookies in a day! Absolutely cannot stop raving about this place!

Very spacious, extremely clean and comfortable. Lovely welcome package too - thank you. The only down side are the steps up to the back door. It is mentioned in the listing that there are 30 steps, but this is an outdoor metal, very steep stair case. Indoors there is an interior staircase which feels much safer. But climbing so high was well worth it, for the amazing sea view from the living area.
