This stylish seaside haven is steps from Salcombe's vibrant high street and water's edge. Not that you'd know, sat in the oh-so-peaceful, Mediterranean-style terraces back home. Perfect for a multi-generational family stay, there's an annexe bedroom with a useful kitchenette, en-suite shower room, and projector cinema screen for anyone wanting their own space. While over in the main house, discover three elegant bedrooms, each with a sleek bathroom. The cosy sitting room and log-burning fires are a nice touch for hunkering down on winter nights. And that made-for-action kitchen with double dishwashers and a sizable wine fridge will make entertaining a breeze. 

Salcombe Muse

Hair Dryer

Just a short stroll from the centre of Salcombe, this apartment is a refreshing coastal escape. The rooms are bright and breezy, the balcony has beautiful views across the estuary and we love the sweet extras like the Sonos sound system, Netflix and The White Company toiletries. Families should note that child-friendly amenities aren’t available here and that little ones will need to be supervised in the communal garden. Still, it’s a fantastic location with easy access to East Portlemouth's beaches, as well as hiking trails through the surrounding countryside – not to mention private parking for adventures further afield.

Transporting you right to the water’s edge, this apartment makes the ideal setting for a refreshing coastal escape. You’ll be a short stroll from the nearby beaches, as well as Salcombe’s main attractions. If you happen to own a boat, you can set sail straight from the private slipway and adventure along the coast. And for those in search of pure relaxation, the terrace provides the perfect spot to sit back and soak in the estuary views. Guests should also note the living room and kitchen are on the top floor with stair access, so this may not be the best option for those with reduced mobility. 


The Blue Harp

Set just off Salcombe's bustling high street, you couldn't dream up a more central location for this stylish home. Not that you'd know it sat on the oh-so-private terrace of this palatial property. Offering practicality and style in equal measure, the orangery dining room is a delight – and that designer kitchen with twin dishwashers and wine fridges makes entertaining a breeze. With flexible arrangements for each bedroom, which are spaced apart over three floors, this home perfectly suits big groups looking to holiday together without crowding each other.

With its enviable sea views and generous outdoor space, this Salcombe home is an ideal choice for a coastal getaway. Inside, there’s plenty of room to spread out in homely comfort, with all the mod-cons needed for a relaxed stay – be it a cosy fireplace or en-suite bedrooms. What we love the most, though, is the garden. The vast lawn is perfect for little ones or dogs to tear around on, and a selection of seating areas offer options to dine alfresco and soak up the scenery. For a day at the beach, meander down the lane next to the house and onto the footpath, and you’ll find yourself on South Sands Beach.

Nice to haves

In the heart of pretty Salcombe, just a minute’s walk from the harbour, this breezy apartment is the perfect base from which to explore the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Dating back to the 17th century, you’ll notice vaulted ceilings and timber beams have been lovingly restored to provide timeless character among the modern comforts. The open-concept layout makes for easy entertaining – keep up with conversations as you tend to dinner in the stylish kitchen. For evenings when you’d rather hang up your apron, you’re footsteps from pubs offering hearty fare and fine ale. Spend sunny afternoons watching boats bob in the quay or pack a picnic and take the leisurely twenty-minute walk to North Salcombe Sands, where clear azure waters and rock pools teeming with crabs await.

This beautiful pet-friendly home in Salcombe offers coastal charm in spades. Laid out over two floors, you’ll find thoughtful touches at every turn, from the wine fridge and Sonos speaker system to the Juliet balcony with creek views and the luxurious en-suite with its freestanding tub. Outside, meanwhile, the home ups the ante with a sunny front patio, as well as a back garden complete with a gazebo for alfresco dining, gas and charcoal barbecues and a pizza oven. It’s ideally located a short stroll from Island Street where you can nip over to its artisanal shops for morning croissants and essentials, while Salcombe Castle and the nearby beaches can easily be reached by car.

Just a five-minute stroll from Salcombe's waters, you'll find this seaside beauty housed in a handsome Georgian villa apartment surrounded by landscaped gardens.

Inside, this place is the epitome of good taste – and we'd expect nothing less from arguably the prettiest village on the South Devon coast. The interior designer host has effortlessly nailed coastal chic, fusing muted blues and greys, tasteful seascapes on the wall, and dashes of driftwood.

Sunny mornings call for lazy alfresco breakfasts in your private garden to steal a glimpse of the nearby sea, hills and fields beyond. Meanwhile, kids and furry friends can run off some energy on the lawns  – the village park, just a one-minute walk away, can help with that too. 

When it's time for some seaside nostalgia, spend bucket-and-spade days down on Salcombe's sandy beaches – just a twenty-minute scenic stroll along the coastal path past the ruins of the village's castle fort. Up the ante with sailing, kayaking, and surfing on the estuary (a five-minute stroll away). Or mooch along to the cafes, restaurants, traditional pubs and ice cream parlours of the village's well-heeled high street (two minutes from your door) – you'll be in good company.

This apartment lies on the shores of Salcombe's South Sands beach, with lovely views from the private balcony. Both bedrooms enjoy their own en-suites and the kitchen is fully equipped for preparing family meals or romantic dinners. To top it all off your host can help arrange a cooked breakfast and concierge services for an additional fee.

Sailor's Cove

Sitting above Salcombe’s High Street packed with independent boutiques and well-known brands, this bright walk-up apartment puts you in a prime position to explore the best of the town’s centre. The waterfront is also only a stone's throw away, offering access to ferries and boat hire, providing ample opportunity for the best of town and coastal adventures. Inside the home, the open-plan living area welcomes you to relax by the gas fire, while both bedrooms (one of which is en-suite) give way to views of the communal garden below – the perfect spot to relax with a glass of wine after a day of exploring. 


Salcombe Ballad

Situated in a private gated development, this penthouse apartment is all about the views. Easily accessible courtesy of the lift from the covered parking area, head on up to the third floor and you’ll find an open-plan, light-filled space waiting to welcome you home. The sea vistas are best enjoyed from the balcony over a glass of wine, but you’re spoilt with scenery from most parts of this home – fling open the bi-fold doors and take it all in. Better still, Salcombe's centre is just a short stroll away, so you'll never be too far from shops, eateries and the water.

The Olde English

Safety Gates

Set in the heart of bustling Salcombe, this former fisherman's cottage is a delightful place to call home. As you can expect, the interior has plenty of coastal charm, though it is a tad snug upstairs. All the contemporary comforts are accounted for, be it underfloor heating or White Company toiletries. Evenings call for cocktails in the front courtyard – there's a distillery just across the street where you can sample local gin. Also within walking distance are Salcombe's artisan shops, independent eateries, and picturesque harbour, perfect for dog walks in the sun.

There’s no chance of forgetting where you are when you stay in The Bowline. The nautical theme runs through the entire apartment (and when you head out, the entire town of Salcombe), but with good reason. This part of south Devon has some of the most picturesque coast in the country, so it makes sense that the area emphasises that. The apartment itself is charming, with a real homely atmosphere. It’s not huge, but if you don’t try to pack it out, it’s plenty big enough, and Diana’s hosting is top-notch, which goes a very long way.

The Bowline

Tucked away in a peaceful but central part of Salcombe, this home had our attention the second we caught those views. With a raised position and spread over three floors, the windows are perfect for watching the town’s iconic harbour. Downstairs, the large living space combines the dining room, kitchen, and living room, meaning guests can easily break off into smaller groups while still being together. Nearby, the adventurous can try crabbing along Victoria Quay or even have a go at paddle boarding. You’ll also want to take advantage of the free parking permit, ideal for exploring even more of Devon’s stunning coastline.

The Seashells for Days

Seeking a seaside getaway in central Salcombe? This dog-friendly home sits on Victoria Quay within strolling distance of bars, eateries, and crabbing spots. Ideal for couples or small families, you'll find a topsy-turvy layout inside, with two bedrooms as you enter. Upstairs, the living area centres around a sun-trapping terrace, perfect for hanging out with harbour-facing views. Though a parking permit is provided to make exploring easier, unguaranteed spaces are taken on a first-come, first-served basis.

Child Friendly

Beach lovers will rejoice at the location of this home. Perched on the edge of North Sands, this is the perfect setting for a coastal retreat. Enjoy the idyllic views from the terrace and the bedrooms (all of which have an en-suite bathrooms). There’s a welcoming living room for social gatherings and the cosy snug features a desk for remote workers. Private parking is available and you’ll find plenty to explore straight from the doorstep – Salcombe town centre is just a short stroll away.

Coastal escapes don’t get much better than this dreamy home in the heart of Salcombe, one of Devon’s most idyllic seaside towns. Step inside and be greeted by a gorgeous living room complete with plush turquoise sofas and a cosy fireplace, perfect for unwinding after an afternoon of sailing or a long walk along Salcombe’s stunning coastline. Upstairs, you've got the choice of three double bedrooms – with an extra room for little ones on the second floor – all of which offer magical vistas to wake up to. Settle into the master bedroom and gaze out at the glistening sea or enjoy peaceful views of the garden from your super-king-size bed next door. 

Whether you’re travelling with children or you’re just a kid at heart, you’ll love the garden here, which comes complete with plenty of patio furniture and a fire pit for enjoying late-night drinks under the stars. We could see ourselves spending all day out here – we might even have a go on the ping pong table – but if you fancy exploring further afield, there’s plenty to discover nearby. Put on your walking shoes and head out for a hike through the countryside or jump in the car and make your way to the beach for a picnic by the sea. Bliss. 

Seafoam Symphony

Looking for a base to explore Salcombe? This family and pet-friendly home is just the ticket. The topsy-turvy layout paves the way for enjoying gorgeous views of the estuary as you relax – and while the private terrace is on the smaller side, there's plenty of space to kick back and enjoy your morning coffee while watching the boats sail by. It's worth noting that there are a lot of stairs to climb here, so it won't be suitable for everyone. But otherwise, it's the perfect place to enjoy all that Salcombe has to offer. 

The Silver Sands

This Grade II listed cottage is a true original among the portfolio of luxury holiday homes in Salcombe. Located in a peaceful corner of Batson but still close to all the action on and off the water – you've got the best of both worlds here. The front garden captures the sun for most of the day and is perfect for morning cuppas. Add in a children's loft bedroom with a TV snug, and you can see why this home caught our eye. If nine of you are sharing, there may be some waiting around in the mornings with just two bathrooms. But in a house this stylish and with so many cosy nooks to relax, we doubt you'll be in a rush. 

Soothing Breeze

Coastal lovers will swoon over the location of this newly renovated home overlooking the Normandy pontoon in Salcombe. Set out over three floors, the stylish townhouse is designed to make the most of the next-level views from all angles. Slide back the doors of the light-filled dining kitchen and let the sun deck spill in. Or sneak away to one of the bedroom's private balconies to drink in the vistas with morning coffees. Ready to soak up Salcombe's seaside charms? You're just fifteen meters from the water's edge, and Salcombe's bustling hight street is just a stroll away.

The Secret of the Sea 

Blu Ray Player

Salcombe sits near the mouth of the Kingsbridge Estuary, where the tides ripple in from Devon’s south coast to create a wonderful waterfront town. With a bustling shellfish industry, you can imagine the sorts of culinary delights you might experience during your stay, as well as traditional fish and chips, and even Michelin-rated eateries over the water in Kingsbridge. Ready to set sail?

Just under half a mile from Salcombe Harbour (around a ten-minute walk) this garden apartment boasts shimmering vistas of the waters beyond. Set in a tasteful, modern building, we think you’ll be spending a lot of your time on the extensive private terrace. With glass-fronted balconies, you can take in the views while reclining on sun loungers with a cocktail in hand. 

After sunset, you can step inside for an aperitif before heading out to dinner. The living space is an inviting nest of cushy corner sofas, woollen throws, and wooden floors. Perfectly modern and rustic at the same time. Sophistication and elegance continue throughout the home, culminating in a superbly stylish dining space with a chunky timber bench and nautical colours – not that you’ll be dining in much.

Lobster Bisque

Overlooking the Salcombe estuary, the peaceful outdoor area of this stunning duplex home gives way to some of the most beautiful views of the water and the ferries sailing upon it. With a charcoal barbecue and ample seating, alfresco dining seems an obvious choice when you're not stopping off at one of the waterfront inns. Though the sloping ceilings might bother taller guests, the first floor allows for a little more stretch. That's a check on comfort, location and aesthetics, which only leaves who gets to sit on the egg chair up for debate.

The Daffodil Cottage

If you’re after postcard-perfect vistas, this smart townhouse overlooking Salcombe's harbour fills the bill. Ideal for extended families wanting to holiday together without crowding each other, the four bedrooms are spaced apart across three floors with a downstairs double bunk bed room, complete with a cosy TV den that little ones will love. What’s more, there’s a sun-trap private terrace with a barbecue for alfresco meals on long summer nights. Perched along a quiet street, and yet just a short stroll from the bustling high street and waterfront to jump on a boat (your host can organise champagne cruises), its location is spot on. 

The Fisherman's Hideaway

This pet-friendly Fisherman's cottage sits along the sea wall of Victoria Quay, offering stunning views over the estuary and beaches of East Portlemouth. We think this home is best suited to families and couples looking for a quiet and cosy stay. The bunk beds are great for kids (but are sturdy enough for small adults), and the main bed can be configured as a super king or twin singles. You'll be close to Salcombe's high street, though you'll want a car for day trips to the nearest beaches.

The River At My Back

This coastal cottage is the perfect retreat for families or groups of friends seeking a chilled-out stay. With nautical designs and waterside views overlooking Salcombe estuary from the balcony terrace, you don't even have to go out to be reminded of your seaside location here. Our favourite spot in the home has to be over by the wood-burning fireplace – perfect for cosying up after a day on the beach. The roll-top bathtub adds a touch of luxury, meanwhile, the extra lounge area upstairs lets the kids have their own space. Just a short walk from the high street and steps away from boat access to the water – you'll have the conveniences of Salcombe in the palm of your hand. 

Just the Sea

This home is conveniently located in the heart of Salcombe, less than a five-minute stroll from cafes, shops, restaurants and the Victoria Inn pub. Beach fans will be pleased to know Salcombe North Sands is reached in twenty-five minutes by foot or seven minutes by car. Inside, expect views over the estuary from the living area and a well-equipped kitchen for easy cooking and entertaining. As the cottage is spread over three floors, those with limited mobility may find the stairs tricky. 


Salcombe Solace

With spectacular estuary views, this apartment occupies an enviable position in South Devon’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You can soak it all in from the private terrace or while swimming in the communal pool (open seasonally). There’s a restaurant on site and it’s just a short stroll along the seafront to the centre of Salcombe. You may hear some noise from the local pub during your stay, but you will find plenty of space and a lovely sense of community. 

Sea Over The Shore

Located within a charming Victorian house overlooking Salcombe Bay is this lovely apartment. The full-height arched windows flood this space with light and allow guests to enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding area. You’re just a short walk from Salcombe High Street, and if you wish to drive, you’ll be pleased to know there’s parking here (it’s a shared driveway with your neighbour). And while the outdoor dining set is a little sun-bleached, it’s a lovely spot to enjoy alfresco breakfasts and barbecue dinners. Inside, the open-plan kitchen and dining room are perfect for entertaining family and friends, while the living room is an inviting space to share a few games of cards.

The Little Sailor

Free Parking

This bungalow is perfect for groups of up to five who are excited to explore the wonderful south Devon coast. Located in the resort town of Salcombe, it's a wonderful spot where you can kick back and relax between your adventures. 

The interior is cosy and classic, with comfy sofas and a big bay window that floods the living room with natural light. You can whip up a traditional Sunday roast in the well-equipped kitchen to share with your guests over a bottle of red wine. Or, when the sun is shining, make the most of the garden and enjoy a tasty grilled feast fresh off the barbeque. 

The town of Salcombe is full of charm – you'll love exploring the pretty streets and sipping a pint of local ale in the local pub. Salcombe North Sands is within walking distance, and South Sands Beach is just a little further. And, if you take a drive inland, you can take an invigorating hike through the beautiful countryside – this is the South Devon Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty, after all. 

Hidden Coves

Push the boat out with a stay at this coastal apartment overlooking Salcombe's North Sands. The sunset views from the private terrace are a knockout, and if the weather doesn't buck up, the vistas are just as impressive curled up on the sofa in the elegant lounge. With Salcombe's iconic beach and seafront café, Winking Shrimp, just a three-minute walk from your door, you couldn't dream up a better location. However, it's worth noting the centre of Salcombe is a bit of a walk, so you might prefer to drive if you have little ones in tow. 

Sandy Toes Retreat

Games Room

Ping Pong Table

This former writer's retreat is a luxurious woodland escape just outside the seaside town of Salcombe. The house features panoramic window walls in the upper levels, bringing the outside in and giving a tree-house feel to this elegant space. Light wooden dining tables and exposed brick walls create a simple yet chic Scandinavian feel, while the plush beds upstairs, including cute children’s bunkbeds, promise dreamy and restful nights. With two acres of grounds, you could spend hours exploring the gently winding paths and terraced gardens, before enjoying an alfresco dinner on the huge balcony that runs right along the house. Afterwards, jump into the outdoor jacuzzi, run a hot bubble bath or curl up beside the fire with a glass of wine. Venture into Salcombe to wander along the sandy beaches, stopping at the seafood shacks for snacks along the way, and watch boats bobbing in the picture-perfect harbour. There are also bracing coastal walks along the nearby South West Coast Path, and you can try your hand at water sports in the estuary. 

Year Of The Ox

This elevated house is nestled in landscaped gardens, with views across the Devon countryside and out to sea. A separate annex houses one of the bedrooms, along with a kitchenette and private balcony, for anyone wanting extra privacy on a group getaway. Your host can help arrange an array of extras to make your holiday feel special, including a private chef to cook for you at home and a champagne cruise. Located on the outskirts of popular Salcombe, you’ll be surrounded by rolling hills and just a short drive away from North Sands Beach.

You're welcome to use the swish hotel spa and swimming pool right next door for a discounted rate. 

The Fisherman's Tale

Smart TV

This Grade II-listed fisherman's cottage showcases the best of Salcombe. The panoramas are incredible – whether you're waking up in the bedroom or enjoying a cup of tea on the south-facing terrace, you'll have a direct view of the boats bobbing in the estuary. Indoors, the 19th-century character complements the contemporary design, creating a calm, cosy place to unwind. There's a laundry room accessed via the alleyway, plus a handy wet room to rinse off sandy paws. As for the location, there's no comparison. You'll be perched along Victoria Quay's sea wall, only a short stroll from the high street and quayside.

The Little Fisherman

This charming Edwardian home nestled in the hills overlooking the North Sands and just a short walk from the beach is a great place for a Devon getaway – and you can bring your furry friends along too. The views from the terrace and balcony are breathtaking, and you can enjoy them while sharing alfresco meals and sipping on gin and tonics in the comfy outdoor seating areas. The lush garden is also a great addition, and from here you’ll be able to access a footpath leading directly to North Sands. Inside, you’ll find plenty to keep the whole family happy, including a wood-burning stove and for a good night’s rest, comfy beds and luxury bedding. There are quite a few steps to climb here, so the home may not suit guests with reduced mobility.
