If you love outdoor living, then you've come to the right place, because this spacious home revolves around a huge garden. It’s a great place for kids to play while the grown-ups catch up on the outdoor sofas, glass of wine in hand. You'll also find an outdoor dining area and barbecue, so freshly grilled food should definitely be on the menu. If that weren’t enough already, there are also vegetable patches, and you’re free to harvest whatever’s growing. You can easily slip inside to the open-plan living area through the French doors, and if the weather isn't great then don't worry – there are two wood-burners and underfloor heating to keep your toasty. Hove's beach is only ten minutes away on foot, where you can stroll along the promenade, paddle in the waves or simply watch the world go by from a spot on the pebbles. You'll find a range of pubs, restaurants and cafés, while nearby Hove Museum and Art Gallery is a great place to spend an afternoon. If you fancy an adventure then it takes about an hour to walk into buzzing Brighton – or you can take a twelve-minute taxi ride.

About Hove
Brighton's more laid-back sibling, upmarket Hove, is known more for its Regency architecture, stylish mews and stunning mansions than its close neighbour's hedonism. Colourful beach huts line its stretch of pebble beach, and the seafront is backed by Western Lawns with its skatepark and small lagoon. Enjoy a craft beer at one of the area’s stylish pubs or do some people-watching in the array of cafes. The family-friendly Hove Museum...

Host
This home is managed by Olly
This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Olly and his lovely family swapped London for Brighton to take advantage of the great outdoors that latter has to offer. Living so close to the beach is hard to turn down, and they're excited to share their little part of the south coast with their guests.
