About this property
This beautiful high quality apartment is set on the hill in Torquay with fabulous south facing views across the bay, situated just half a mile from the beach, and providing a
superb gateway to Devon. Waves boasts fabulous sea views from the large terrace, making this a truly spectacular retreat for couples looking to escape everyday life. The open-plan living space is bright and airy and offers the ideal spot to unwind during the evening, with an HD TV and Bluetooth speaker providing entertainment, or simply sit back and reflect on the holiday so far. Move to the amply-equipped kitchen, hosting all you could need during your staycation, including an electric oven and gas hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, coffee machine, washing machine and even a dishwasher, so washing up will be no trouble. Serve up a delicious feast which can be enjoyed alfresco style on the decked terrace, complete with table and chairs and gas barbecue for those sunny afternoons, all while the stunning backdrop of Torquay helps the chilled vibe keep going. As you begin to yawn, retire to the king-size bedroom and wrap yourself under the plush duvet and drift off watching the lights in the bay twinkle through the two sets of French doors. There is also an en-suite shower room and a separate bathroom, giving you plenty of space to prepare for the day. Torquay is a superb holiday town; explore the lively streets and its picturesque harbourside where you can watch the beautiful yachts whilst tucking into a portion of fish and chips, enjoy a drink at one of the many waterside bars or venture to the beach where you can enjoy the calm, warm waters of the bay, hire kayaks or paddle boards, or simply relax with a spot of sunbathing on the sand. Explore the broader Torbay encompassing Paignton and Brixham, by foot, bus, historic steam train or local shuttle ferry that link the 3 seaside towns via their Marinas. Visit the Torquay Museum and learn about local culture and history, or pop on your walking boots and join the South West Coast Path where beautiful scenery and vistas come in abundance with 630 miles of interlinked walks offering something for all levels of ability. Further outdoor opportunity can be seized in the Dartmoor National Park, bursting with scenic trails and cycle routes, all among incredible scenery, and home to the famous Dartmoor ponies too! Once you’ve built up an appetite, there’s plenty of superb eateries to try, ranging from traditional pubs to award-winning bistro’s and restaurants, along with many supermarkets if you would rather cook yourself.

It was clean and comfortable and well above other self-catering holiday lets that we have stayed in. Our every need had been catered for in the facilities provided and that terrace was amazing. The walk down to the beachfront was a long way down, but the reward was those magnificent views.

The view from the terrace over the entire Torbay is breathtaking: you can watch the interplay between high and low tide and the constantly changing colors of the sea. The walk down to the harbor is strenuous, but very worth it!
