About this property
The Seahome, a lovely, ground-floor apartment rests in the heart of Scarborough, North Yorkshire, in a quiet, cobbled courtyard. Set high on the cliffs near the old town, overlooking the South Bay, the SPA, and the Harbour, with far-reaching views towards Filey and Flamborough Head, yet just a stone’s throw from the beach. Enjoying extensive, uninterrupted sea views, the property is within walking distance of all the town’s amenities and attractions, including the Open-Air Theatre, Peasholm Park and the North Bay, offering a well-positioned base for a couple, looking to explore both the North York Moors National Park and coast. Park up on the roadside and head indoors with your belongings, kickstarting your break in the homely sitting room, where you can sink into the plush sofa with the Smart TV for entertainment. Next door you will find a well-equipped kitchen, where you can prepare delicious meals to be enjoyed as a couple, before dining upon the private balcony; toast to your getaway with a glass of bubbly whilst watching the sun set over the county. A sumptuous king-size bed awaits where you can catch some rest ahead of your itinerary for the day. Once you're ready to explore, be spoilt for choice when visit local shops, pubs, and eateries, all nearby to ease your self-catered stay, whilst attractions are also plentiful, where you can grab a bag of fish and chips near Scarborough Beach, tour the remains of Scarborough Castle, or stroll through the pretty grounds of Italian Gardens. Travelling through the national park, reach Whitby and its plethora of seaside attractions, where you can discover the gothic remains of Whitby Abbey, take to Whitby Beach, dotted with colourful beach huts, tour Whitby Museum, and climb the 199 Steps for an elevated view of the town, plus many more activities for all types of visitors. With Filey, Pickering and Bridlington nearby, there's so much to see and do across the region, all possible from The Seahome.
Popular since Victorian times, the vibrant seaside town of Scarborough retains many of its original fine buildings, parks and gardens, as well as its historic castle which overlooks the town. North Bay and South Bay provide two superb stretches of beautiful, golden sandy beaches, popular with families and small children. There are a number of child friendly activities and many excellent visitor attractions for grown-ups too, including the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough Spa and Scarborough Open Air Theatre for live music. Scarborough is a great location for outdoor activities, with golf courses, lovely coastal walks along the Cleveland Way, stunning cycle routes such as the old railway to Whitby, beautiful sailing and championship quality surfing. Add to this all the usual seaside entertainment and bustling promenades located close to the beach and Scarborough is the destination with something for everyone. Ideally situated for touring the coastline and the moors, Scarborough is an ideal base for a fun-filled break.

The apartment was clean and well equipped - only thing I'd add is a hairdryer. Sofa and bed both really comfortable and good to have a decent size bed and wardrobe. There was a bit of noise from the upstairs flat, dog barking and pounding feet, but not enough to spoil the stay (may have been a noisy holidaymaker rather than a permanent resident). The only slight problems we had were with the TV as the info sheet said HDMI 1 for casting and 2 for DVD and we couldn't get it to work until we realised it was the other way round. Also we didn't notice at first that the parking permit was restricted to A2 areas and were lucky not to get a ticket parking in A1. Overall, a lovely apartment and the views really sell it.

Although we were provided with parking permits which was very kind, it was so busy we could not find anywhere to park and ended up in one of the long stay car parks but as we needed the car sometimes to visit places, my husband who has a heart condition found it difficult being so steep backwards and forwards.

Itâs very comfortable. The views are amazing and itâs lovely to see Scarboroughâs North Bay bustling during the day and lit up at night. I was lucky enough to have great weather and take advantage of the balcony. I did have some difficulty finding the property and understanding the Disc Zone parking.
