About this property
A sun-drenched seaside retreat perched in an elevated position above Torquay and boasting glistening ocean vistas. This inviting coastal gem is ideal for a family escape or intimate group gathering in an iconic Devonshire location. Make like the locals and tackle the gentle swells lapping ashore Torquay Beach (300 metres) during a guided water sports session, then refuel with an al fresco evening spread on the balcony with an unbeatable sea backdrop.
This chic top-floor apartment features a tastefully designed interior with crips white and sea blue hues, nautical striped soft furnishings, and seascape artwork. Drop beach bags at the door then step into the spacious lounge/diner. Sink onto the plump corner sofa to admire the tranquil coastal views or snuggle in on the armchair to thumb through a guidebook. In the evening, fold out the dining table and portion out some local seafood takeaway to be scoffed while overlooking the view. In summer months, prop open the balcony door to bask in the salty ocean air drifting inside. Rustle up dessert in the glossy kitchen or nominate a resident bartender to shake up some post-dinner drinks. Retire to the comfort of two tranquil bedrooms. Slip into the sheets of the double with private balcony access or scope out the elegant triple room with a double bottom bunk. Outdoors, while away hours on the suntrap balcony or blether into the early hours with a warm drink in hand.
Embark on an early morning saunter along the Torquay Harbour (500 metres) and swing by the independent stores to stock up on goodies. Feel the wind in your hair as you glide along the English Riverea on a sightseeing cruise from the Marina (500 metres) or amble along the South West Coast Path towards Anstey’s Cove (2 miles).

Beautiful apartment, with a fantastic view! Everything you could need for a home from home stay. I would say you need to be able bodied, due to the stairs to the apartment and the walk back up the hill from the sea front.you are rewarded with the fantastic view for your efforts however!

The apartment was fantastic but the views were breathtaking in the daytime and watching sunsets from the balcony.
