Only moments from the ocean, this top-floor apartment is a dream come true for sun-chasers, surfers and everyone in between. Morning, noon or night, you'll be drawn to the balcony – how can you not be, with sensational views spanning up and down the Devon coast? As you sit back with a cup of coffee or a glass of bubbly come evening, you can watch the waves crash on Woolacombe Beach and breathe in the salty air. Even inside, the panoramas out of the Velux windows speak for themselves. Light floods the small but stylish living area, creating a cosy place to watch TV, snooze on the sofa or dine on fresh-caught mackerel straight from the ocean. And after a long walk along the South West Coast Path, a snuggle in the comfortable beds is just what’s needed. Speaking of location, Woolacombe Beach is a mere 100 metres away. Take advantage of the miles of golden sand at your doorstep and spend your afternoon building sandcastles, swimming in the waves and sunbathing on the shore. You're also walking distance from the restaurants, pubs and shops in Woolacombe – ideal for some fish and chips after a refreshing dip in the sea.

About Woolacombe
Undulating hills rise up behind Woolacombe, creating a verdant backdrop that makes Woolacombe Beach one of the prettiest in Devon. In fact, the bay, which lies at the bottom of a valley, is often described as the best beach in Britain, with visitors able to surf, kayak and stand-up paddle board in its waters. Follow the coastal path that runs along the beach to spot birdlife and seals bobbing in...
