Overview
Property code: OC-OCVILL

Ocean Villa enjoys stunning sea views from a quiet location close to the heart of Woolacombe. The property has been designed upside down so the main reception areas enjoy the best of the views. The top floor is all one big open plan living area so there are no dark corners and you can see the views from the whole floor. The decor is contemporary and cutting edge with structural features creating dramatic shapes including sloping ceilings. One gable is filled with glass and provides access to a spacious private balcony where you can watch the spectacular sunsets with a chilled glass of wine. Downstairs the main bedroom has a super king-size bed, en-suite facilities and patio doors to a covered area, also enjoying sea views. This covered area also has a hot outdoor shower and storage for surfboards and bikes. Two more bedrooms and a pristine bathroom complete the ground floor accommodation. Woolacombe's three mile stretch of golden sand has been voted number one in the UK by TripAdvisor guests for the last two years. It also holds the England For Excellence Gold Award for best family resort and was voted the Best British Beach in the Mail On Sunday. Lifeguards ensure safe swimming during the summer. However, it’s not just the beach that brings visitors to Woolacombe. There's a wide selection of restaurants, teashops and bars to enjoy while the laid-back atmosphere makes it a firm favourite for people of all ages. Head east for Ilfracombe, which has a delightful mix of Victorian and Regency architecture, pretty harbour, independent shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs. The harbour, with Damien Hirst’s infamous bronze statue Verity, is well worth a visit

This property provides a comfortable holiday home at any time of the year. The scenery is great, local shops well stocked and the locals friendly. Comfort is well up with the best, everything needed for cooking, washing and relaxing is there. We would say though that if you need to walk to the shops, taking the short route will elevate your heart rRead moreate. Overall, a stunning property with great views and sense that you will come back again Hide

Fantastic stay can't wait to return. One of the best houses we have stayed at. Third bedroom small and would only accommodate one adult or two children.

The house was very comfy. High standard of cleanliness and comfy beds. Wonderful views and good location for the beach although quite a steep hill to climb at the end of the day (a good chance to burn off all the icecream and cream teas!)

Stunning property with great views over Woolacombe beach and the countryside. Location ideal for the pubs and shops of Woolacombe but it is a short and very steep hill on the walk back (there is a more gentle but slightly longer walk back if needed). Facilities at the property are excellent, especially in the huge open plan living/dining/kitchen arRead moreea. All the appliances are modern. Main bedroom with en-suite is also very large. Other bedrooms are good size too. Already looking to book for next year. Hide

Ocean villa is stunning. Amazing views, all the mod cons and cool decor and lighting. It's also got a staircase, books, games, beach toys and a windbreaker in the shed plus an out side hot shower and area t hang wetsuits and boards. Woolacombe Bay is a fantastic place and there's so much to do and see.
