About this property

Lovely Beach Front Holiday Home on Private Estate + Sea Views - 140x 5* Reviews!

Sea Vale has been in our family since my wife was a child. Initially it was only for our own use but since deciding to make it available for others to use we have totally renovated the house, bringing it flying into the 21st Century.

The house is right on the beach with lovely sea views and has a beautiful open plan living style on the ground floor flowing onto a wooden deck with the garden beyond which faces South. There are four double bedrooms. Every modern convenience has been thought of including under-floor heating throughout the ground floor and radiators upstairs. The decor is strictly "seaside" with plenty of little touches that leave you in no doubt that you are living on the beach.

Walk out of the garden gate onto Elmer Beach which has to be one of the quietest & most private beaches on the South coast. Elmer Beach Estate is privately owned with no public access to the beach (although some local people do walk through the estate). During peak seasons and bank holidays there is a gate at the end of the road to limit vehicle access to residents.

Lots of pubs and restaurants within walking distance and further afield too.

What a privilege it is to be able to stay in this beautiful home! It's very homely and the 30 second walk to the beach is such a luxury! The beach itself is such a beautiful natural expanse at low tide and a wonderful spot for swimming and waterfun at high tide. A 30 second potter back to a super warm shower was very appreciated! The main bedroom with the extra balcony area is wonderful to wake up to and the en suite shower is so spacious. The stairs up to the main bedroom are steep though so it's great there are two downstairs bedrooms too. Our dogs and ourselves really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back again. Big thanks to the hosts!

The house was beautiful and well located, being a minute's walk from the beach.The house was well stocked with food condiments etcHowever we were here on the heatwave Bank Holiday weekend and the windows didn't open in two of the bedrooms nor the other ground floor bathroom and there were no fans. If these issues are rectified, then this house is a perfect summer stay.

Strangely, on this heatwave weekend, this guest called on arrival to say that the house was cold and could we turn the central heating on remotely - which we did! Yes, sorry, the top windows in two bedrooms were stuck after the winter and these have been serviced so they open properly now.

A well-equipped spacious house with a wonderful first floor sun room and balcony looking out to sea, located in a very peaceful road. Probably the best property we have ever stayed at.

We had a lovely time at this property; we were a group of 6 adults and 3 children with an age range of under 1 to 83 years. The accommodation was fantastic, with all mod cons, and the location was amazing, with immediate access to the beach! There were good local shops and restaurants, and a play park just up the road for when the young ones were beached-out! The one thing that I would advise is that a non- slip mat would be a good idea for in the showers, as several of our party had near- accidents while bathing. But this was a minor detail in what was a marvellous, relaxing time away. Thank you!

The host was very clear with how to get to the house. The house was amazing! All 4 bedrooms have either a bathroom or an en suite. It was so close to the beach less then 100 yards away. Our dog loved the beach.

Great location central to everything.We were a party of 4 couples and by the description we were led to believe there was 4 bathrooms with showers but there was only 3 showers and we had to share with another couple which was very awkward.

About the host

Hosted by Nick & Judith Lahey-Bean

Host profile image

My wife and I live near Guildford (our children have flown the nest and are producing grandchildren). I am a Chartered Surveyor so my professional background has always been in property and between us we manage a varied property portfolio but this is our own holiday house.

Why they chose this property

Sea Vale has been in my wife's family since she was a child. She has happy memories of childhood holidays in Elmer and we, in turn, have holidayed for many years at Sea Vale with our own children.

The beach is unbelievably quiet and unspoiled because access is through a private estate. This is a friendly community and Elmer is close to almost every facility that you could think of.

In 2012 we bit the bullet and carried out massive renovations and alterations to transform the house into a 21st Century holiday home that we are proud of. In 2015/2016 we carried out another very exciting project which added a dramatically attractive sun room and balcony at first floor level with full central heating and views out to the beach, the main bedroom has a new ensuite shower room and there's a small study facing out to the garden off the sitting room with high speed broadband. The two upstairs bedrooms have double beds and the two ground floor bedrooms have twin beds which can be put together to make doubles if you want. Our children and grandchildren now use the house often but there are plenty of times when it would be empty if we didn't make it available for others to use as well.

What makes this property unique

There are lovely walks along the beach heading either East or West. Try walking East to Climping for a pub lunch or walk West to the Lobster Pot on the beach in Felpham for brunch etc.

From the first floor sun room you can while away the hours gazing at the horizon - time evaporates up here (as does the wine in your glass!). You can enjoy the sunshine through open bi-fold doors up here even in the winter.

East Beach Cafe at Littlehampton is a very popular restaurant serving great beachside food and we have one of the best Indian restaurants in the next village who will deliver to the house.

The village post office includes a small supermarket where you'll find almost everything you could want but there is also a One Stop supermarket slightly further down the road or a full scale Sainsbury's Superstore near Littlehampton.
