This property is located right on the beach front at South Milton Sands in South Devon, a well-maintained beach with a pretty stretch of sand, interesting rock pools and a beachside cafe, which offers fresh seafood and a takeaway service. The surrounding area is full of beautiful, characterful villages many with welcoming village pubs, but it isn’t all tranquil rural life, as the town of Salcombe is just five miles away and offers a fabulous harbour, five beaches, and a range of shops and eateries. Other attractions in the area include Woodlands Family Theme Park, Dartmoor Zoo, and the breath-taking Burgh Island, former favourite haunt of Agatha Christie and Noel Coward.

This first floor apartment offers contemporary accommodation all situated on one level, with lift access. The main living is the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner which is a stylish and comfortable space with amazing sea views, a TV,DVD and two large sofa's. The dining table comfortably seats six, beyond which the kitchen is well-equipped with an electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, and dishwasher, whilst the washer/dryer is located in a separate utility cupboard. The apartment’s two bedrooms, are both restful spaces, with understated colour schemes, TVs, and sea views. The king-size room has an en-suite shower room with WC, as well as a Juliet balcony, whilst the second room is a twin room with access to a lovely balcony, which can be made up as another double room on request thanks to the zip-and-link beds. The bathroom offers a shower-over-bath and WC.

Outside, in addition to the balcony, the apartment also benefits from a small private patio with garden furniture, whilst there are also shared gardens where guests have use of a BBQ. A real draw for this property is the shared outdoor pool, which is open during the summer season and offers a wonderful space to relax, play, and exercise, with the sound of waves lapping on the beach.

Fabulous position. well equipped and a swimming pool, which incidentally, could do with a bit of a clean, quite a bit of sand on the bottom, Last time we stayed here a chap came every day to attend to the pool. But that said I would still highly recommend this property and we will book it again ourselves!

The view is truly spectacular and the location is amazing, only a few strides to the beach. Great walks right from the door and a good location for exploring the local area. The nearest pub/restaurant is a bit of a long walk over the hills - not something you could do in the dark - so you are quite car-dependent to get around (and the local lanes aRead morere very narrow!). The apartment is clean and well-equipped. Hide

The location was stunning and the walks absolutely beautiful along the coast and a short walk away from an amazing pub in Hope where we had a lovely sunday lunch, so much food we needed the walk back to the apartment to burn off the calories so not a bad thing. All in all a lovely 60th birthday present for my partner. Definitely worth another stay.

The views from the apartment were just WOW, I think the views made our stay, you could never tire of looking out of windows like that! The apartment was warm and welcoming, nicely decorated and well equipped, it was a nice touch to have a pint of milk there and the availability of salt and pepper etc in the cupboards. The beds could have been more Read morecomfortable but the bedding was really good quality. The walks along the coast were lovely especially Hope Cove. All in all a great place to stay Hide

Super apartment with great views over the bay towards Burgh Island. 2ft 6 single bed is not big enough for an adult, I suggest leaving the room set up as kingsize. Take any satnav directions with a pinch of salt as they can be misleading.
