About this property

Driftwood, a gem of a new build, is situated in the heart of Dawlish, a marvellous seaside town. A short stroll away from beaches and amenities, it offers an idyllic base for families to indulge in a coastal getaway. Enter through the gated community, you will be delighted by the spacious layout, making it a real social hub for easy and fun living. Draw your attention to the luxurious, contemporary interior, enveloped around marvellous feature pieces that tell a story; the dining table sourced from Lithuania, sat resting on top of carpets from India, all purchased with attention and care. Enter up the glass balustrade stairway, and into the additional snug, indulge in a spot of tranquillity on the sofa while the chef gets to work, accompanied by Vellux windows, making the natural lighting burst out in every corner. Curtsey of the kitchen's modern interior, discover a host of appliances to rustle up a home-cooked meal or unpack a local takeaway. When it's time to serve, take the dinner party natter to the dining table, crack open your favourite glass of wine and toast to an unforgettable holiday. Afterwards, curl up on the sofa, with a feature fireplace adding a homely feel, while some evening entertainment begins on the Smart TV. When sleep calls, retire in one of the two king-size bedrooms; both tastefully presented with a bright and airy feel as well as ample storage for the over-packers of your family! Boasting an en-suite bathroom and Smart TV in each, giving you the ease of freshening up in peace, as well as indulging in your favourite show in the comfort of your bed. Take your morning coffee out on the decking while energising yourself with the sea air and wonderful Devon scenery, amidst a chorus of birds on site. With a plethora of beaches just a meander away, you’ll be able to tick each one off your bucket list, every day of your stay. Catch a wave, discover rock pools and leave sandy footsteps everywhere you go, while admiring serene views of the landscape. The quaint riverside setting of Dawlish known for black swans is a stroll away, boasting independent shopping facilities to grab a keepsake.

    In such a great area with easy access to visit areas around. Perfect stay for a week away. Very relaxing, comfortable and even though close to the road could hardly hear any traffic. Easy walking distance to Dawlish. Comfortable and lovely modern decor. Hopefully will be back in the future. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
