You'll find this stylish apartment right on the banks of Saunton Sands. If surfing, swimming and sunbathing are on your holiday to-do list, you can't do much better than this beachfront setting – and with the South West Coastal Path on your doorstep and Saunton Golf Club a short drive away, walkers and golfers will have plenty to keep them busy, too. The views alone are worth staying for. Morning, noon or night, the best place to soak up the scenery is on the shared balcony – the perfect spot to savour a coffee in the sunshine or cocktails as the sun goes down. Even inside, thanks to the dual aspect, you can feast your eyes on the ocean no matter what you get up to, be it lounging on the sofa, sharing a meal around the dining table or soaking in the main bedroom's sumptuous rolltop bath. Besides the panoramas, we love how incredibly bright and roomy this place is. The aesthetic is sleek and minimal, but it works – the big windows drench every room in light, while the open-plan layout is ideal for socialising. Home chefs can let their culinary skills run wild in the kitchen, while... surfers will love having wetsuit and board storage plus an outdoor shower on-site. And all the mod-cons are accounted for – including a rainfall shower, underfloor heating and a wine fridge – so you'll have everything you need for a coastal getaway.
