Out of respect for Scarborough and our neighbours no loud noise or music is allowed at any time. In addition there is a lack of large scale parking so we do not allow the villa to be used as a party or wedding venue.

About the host

Hosted by John Carne

Host profile image
I am married to Annike and have 2 grown daughters at University. We have always loved Scarborough and now own several properties in the area, two of which, Atlantic Dream and Gone to the Beach, we rent out as holiday accommodation .

Why they chose this property

I always wanted a beachfront property in Scarborough and when this one came onto the market we had to buy it. Even then it was perfect for a self catering rental. Quiet, big enough for a couple of families, child and pet friendly and right across from the beach.
