The flat overlooks the sea - the view is beautiful. There is ample parking for a fair price. The flat is bright and the large windows in the lounge and master bedroom allow unfettered views of the ocean. The flat has everything needed to have a thoroughly enjoyable stay. We recommend this property highly.

Short Break in Whiby

The Sand & Surf Apartment was perfect for a two night stay in Whiby. Clean and spacious and really well placed for a walk up to Sandsend and down into Whiby town.

Wonderful location with wondrous views

We loved Whitby and that was in large part due to staying at a lovely apartment in such a super location. In spite of stairs with two young children it was a really well kept apartment and can’t speak highly enough of it’s location. Children were happy for almost 100% of the stay and that’s a huge endorsement from us . Thanks for hosting us

Lovely place, fantastic view

Nice flat, with some lovely design ideas. Beautiful view and close to the sea and the harbour, both sides of Whitby. Few niggles - bathroom fan not working, wrong WiFi code sent and the one in the flat impossible to read; hard to use dining table as not enough room round it and benches very unstable. Blind cords so short that once they were closed you couldn’t possibly reach the cord to open them again. But honestly, these are all small issues compared to the flat itself which was gorgeous and I would recommend it

Overall, there is much to like about this apartment. The views are stunning, the bathrooms are modern, and the location is perfect to enjoy Whitby. However, there are a few incidents about the host support that prevent a fully positive rating. Most significantly, we had a very negative check in experience, whereby we were given instructions to access the key to the apartment. The problem was the key would not open the door. It turns out the wrong key was placed in the lock box. This is an honest mistake, however, the support to address this was non existent. We were unable to get anyone to help resolve this simple issue for about 2 hours. This impacted our first evening in Whitby significantly and added much unnecessary stress. We were also not provided any compensation for this very bad service. Second issue is the carpet upon entering the apartment was stained in two places. This is a very elegant apartment so this is a very unfortunate first impression when walking in the door.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the apartment's stunning views, modern bathrooms, and its fantastic location in Whitby. We sincerely apologise for the issues you encountered during check-in. It's clear that the incorrect key caused considerable inconvenience, and we regret that our response at the time did not meet the level of support you rightly expected. Your feedback highlights an area where we must do better, and we are actively reviewing our processes to ensure this kind of delay does not happen again. We also appreciate you pointing out the stained carpet. While this certainly doesn’t reflect the high standards we aim to maintain, we will be addressing this with our cleaning and maintenance team to ensure it’s resolved promptly. Thank you again for your constructive comments — they help us improve. We hope that, despite these issues, you were still able to enjoy your time in Whitby, and we’d love the opportunity to welcome you back for a more seamless experience.
