This absolute gem of a property in Woolacombe has spectacular uninterrupted views of Woolacombe Sands from almost every aspect of its large plot that includes two sun decks. To make the holiday experience even better, there are some amazing, luxury extras including a traditional hot tub, sauna and a cold plunge pool, all located on a glass-screened sun deck allowing your party to make the most of the stunning 270-degree views. A fabulous property for up to ten guests to holiday in style.

In the house, the lounge offers plenty of comfy seating and main TV with surround sound and streaming services. In the bay chairs you can gaze out to the sea beside a small desk suitable for working from home. There is also a Yamaha keyboard for the musically inclined. In the open plan kitchen-diner, a large picture window stretches across the front of the property and the dining table and chairs have been carefully positioned to enjoy the breathtaking sea views. There is a fully equipped and stylish kitchen, perfect for rustling up your favourite meals and a double-sided wood burner which makes this welcoming space cosy at any time of the year. An adjacent family room is well equipped to entertain the children with TV, books, a range of toys and table football. All bedrooms in the main house offer sea/coastal views with bedroom two in the main house benefitting from a wonderful glass screened balcony with table and chairs, an ideal place to enjoy your morning coffee.

Steps lead down to a large sundeck with hot tub, sauna and cold plunge pool and plenty of comfortable seating to relax and enjoy the view. There is also a one-bedroom annexe that can also be booked, sleeping a further two guests that can be used as an additional bedroom or a workspace.

This sizable detached 4-bedroom house is made for those who love to be beside the sea and relish not having to use the car.

The property location is spectacular. Incredible views over the bay and less than 5 mins walk to the beach. We had 6 adults and an infant and the property provided lots of space for relaxing with games, books and toys to keep everyone happy. We chose to eat in most nights to enjoy the location and found the kitchen to be well equipped. We also maRead morede good use of the wet suits which are available to guests, all managing to find one which fitted. Woolacombe is an ideal location for a family beach holiday and surfing. We had changeable English weather but this did not stop us getting on the beach everyday, again making use of the windbreak available at the house. When it rained we made use of the sauna which must compete as the sauna with the best view - cant be many any better than this one. We were a single family which does make this property quite expensive but if two families or more are sharing costs it becomes good value given the facilities and location Hide

Everything is great but we may not be back as were restricted to school holidays so may not be able to be as opulent.
