We had an absolutely lovely post Christmas stay at The Beach House. Christine could not have been more attentive, in fact the most responsive and friendly rental home host that I have ever had! We loved the house particularly in winter with the log burner, Aga warming the kitchen and the rooms above. We loved the beach walks with the dogs. I know that the house is due to get a refurb but we loved the existing cosy beach house feel but we’d still love to book again if all our young adult children would join us! I think they would if we came back to Selsey! Thank you Christine and family x

Great house for a family celebration

The location of the house, right on the seafront, the outdoor space with a wonderful pool and hot tub, and the games room, really made this a perfect venue for the whole family - aged from 3 to 89. At first the rules appeared a little excessive, but in the event the host was flexible and accommodating. This really was the perfectly place for a big and memorable family gathering.

Seafood from Julie’s went down a treat! Great place for adults, teens and children. Communication from hosts was very thorough too. Highly recommend.

Plenty of spaces to park including electric car charger. Host was incredibly helpful, and accommodating.

Lovely sized house, plenty of space for 11 adults to either sit quietly, play games, catch up with each other & sit together for meals. Lovely garden area with plenty of seating for everyone to enjoy. We were so lucky with the weather and the sunset every night was stunning. The games room was great & brought out the competitive side of us all! Beds were very clean & so comfy & the house was lovely & warm all the time. I must also mention we had a roast at The Seal pub on the Sunday & we all said it was the best roast we’ve had in ages! We all want to rebook the house for another family gathering it was perfect.

The property is dated and requires updating. One of outside picnic tables was very unstable needs replacing. The chairs around the table need attention as the spindles kept coming apart which was quite dangerous. The electric cooker also needs replacing, the rings kept switching off, the fan oven kept going off and would come back on after about 20mins and the oven door doesn’t shut properly. Apart from that we managed with annex oven and had a fantastic weekend.

Hi Florence thank you for sharing the lovely photos - it was good to see everyone enjoying themselves. As mentioned to the last guest we do have some exciting plans for refurbishment for July 2026 but in the meantime we would not expect future plans to impact the current stay - thank you as well for highlighting the problems but I would like everyone to feel that they can contact us anytime about anything - our caretaker is close by and can respond quickly to see how issues can be resolved. I will be contacting all previous guests with a special offer once we have confirmation that our exciting plans including adding an indoor spa are ready to go ahead.

Beach House, Selsey

Stunning location. Bedrooms & Living room light & airy. Heating broken in master bedroom & en suite. No heating in downstairs bathroom. Some photographs & descriptions need updating. Swimming pool was a hazard as there were no safety features whatsoever. No pool cover, cover for filter was missing so it was a trip hazard, no lifebelt, net or pole. One 5yr old fell in but as children were not allowed outside unattended, he was quickly pulled out of the deep water.
Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 27 Mar 2023
We were all shocked to hear about the child falling into the pool; although we have summer and winter pool covers, we would say that not allowing children into the garden unattended should also include not allowing ones that cannot swim to climb the steps to the decking leading to the pool on their own (shown in photo 1 and photo 42) In the summer guests have full control over whether to have the pool open or closed, using an automated Coverseal pool cover (which takes a considerable weight) whereas the winter cover is usually kept on permanently. On this occasion the winter cover was removed before the summer cover was refitted as it had been damaged by the storm and we felt it safer for guests to see that the pool was open rather than have a false sense of security. There is a stronger cover coming for the winter, but caution is always advised as the waves which come crashing into the garden during a storm can cause considerable damage.

Ideal Situation

A lovely house that perfectly suited our multi-generational family. We stayed for a long weekend in early May and despite the mixed weather we made good use of the outside space, particularly the pool, hot tub and beach. In times when the weather was less pleasant, the house itself was very comfortable. The garden was mostly paved with plenty of outdoor furniture. It reminded us a bit of a pub garden – not a bad thing. It could do with a bit better outdoor lighting. We really appreciated the EV charger, especially after travelling a long distance to an unknown area. However, we found the rules and regulations excessive. Maybe put a bit more trust in your guests to act responsibly. On the other hand, the manager, Christine and housekeeper, Sue were very helpful and responded promptly when contacted. We hope to return.

A lovely Easter weekend

We as a family of 13, ranging from ages 84 - 10 months, chose this house as it met everyone’s needs. My elderly grandad was able to have a beautiful bedroom on the ground floor near a shower room and the kitchen, where he could then sit and watch the hustle and bustle. We have a 12 yo autistic child so we stayed in the studio apartment above the garage to allow them their space which worked perfectly with its own kitchen and bathroom. The rest of the family then had beautifully spacious bedrooms with stunning views of the sea. It met everyone’s expectations and more. The games room was very popular for the teens and adults, as was the hot tub. The lounge offered enough space for children to play and the switch was an added bonus. Plenty of secure parking, well equipped kitchen, we couldn’t think of a sign thing missing throughout. Our only downside was the weather the first few days and the pool not heating up as it’s heated by the air outside but that was Mother Nature who no one can control. We are hoping to return next year for another family getaway. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Christine

Host profile image
Our family have had homes or holiday homes on the West Sussex Coast for most of the past 80 years. We enjoyed many holidays at our grandfather's spending long days on the beach there

When our grandfather sold his holiday home there to help us buy our first home we resolved to one day buy a holiday home on the coast ourselves so we could all spend time together there again.

We started looking in about 2016 but realised we needed to invest in our business first. He was the first to say it was the right thing to do but in 2017 our grandfather died.

He loved the sea and we know he would have loved having family time at the beach house. We wish we could have even just one memory of spending time there with him.

Why they chose this property

Right on the beach with glorious views and a ramp to the beach. On a good day, the sunsets are stunning. There are beautiful walks and great access to lots of activities and places to visit.
