Introduction:

Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish space.

Elmer is a secret gem of the South Coast, boasting a sandy beach, crystal clear water and 8 sea pools perfect for swimming and paddle boarding.

The flat is a 30 second walk to the beach! There are also many wonderful country walks.

Elmer is also incredibly quiet, I fell in love with the village on my first visit. The flat has been recently refurbished. Supermarkets are 10 min drive away for all amenities.

Come experience the magic of Elmer!

The Space:

Welcome to the wonderfully peaceful and picturesque coastal village of Elmer! An English seaside paradise, complete with its eight salt water pools and sandy beach.

Whether as a romantic getaway...or special occasion...maybe a chance to relax and unwind...a business trip...or simply a change of scenery to working from home, Elmer is absolutely perfect!

Whilst Elmer, along with the neighbouring villages of Middleton-on-Sea, Clymping and Felpham feel wonderfully quiet and remote. In reality, you are in fact only around a ten minute drive from the four diverse and substantially sized towns of Arundel, Chichester, Bognor Regis and Littlehampton. Chichester is in fact the county's capital and Arundel is beautifully quaint town brimming with history, including a cathedral, river and quite possibly one of the country's best-kept castles, definitely worth a visit.

The apartment has recently been fully refurbished and has a spacious, modern, stylish yet beachy feel, whilst still feeling homely. I have called the property Goldeneye, named after Ian Fleming's beach side house in Jamaica, the author of the James Bond books.

Maybe start the day with a quick sea swim, followed by short walk back to the apartment for a nice hearty breakfast and freshly brewed coffee. Then out for a long ramble in the countryside or along the beach taking in the sunshine and fresh sea air, stopping by one of the lovely local pubs for lunch. Then, after a relaxing shower, either snuggling in on the sofa for a movie, or maybe an evening drink out on the patio or perhaps a visit to The Cabin for some live music, or maybe even to the local chippy for some fish and chips on the beach, could it get any more British!

There is "superfast fibre" WiFi, so whether catching up on your emails or streaming movies, the Internet should be plenty fast enough.

Dogs are welcome, in fact the area is great for dog walking. The apartment incudes two dog bowls, a dog towel and jar of treats to make sure your pooches also feel welcome too! There are also several dog friendly pubs located nearby.

Bedroom - comes equipped with a double wardrobe, desk, hair dryer and Bluetooth speaker for unwinding to your favourite playlist of tunes.

Bathroom - features a huge shower, perfect for after those long country walks or day at the beach!

Kitchen - includes a washing machine, iron / ironing board, fridge / freezer, blender, oven, microwave, hob, kettle, toaster and all cooking utensils, pots and pans.

Lounge - includes a 42" smart TV and very comfortable sofa, perfect for a movie night or Netflix binge!

The apartment has central heating, so keeps nice and cosy during those cold winter months.

There is a communal patio area where you can enjoy relaxing in the warmer months, in the morning with your freshly brewed coffee and in the evening with a cheeky glass of wine (or two!). The flat includes its own patio table and chairs.

The beach is accessed simply by crossing the road to enjoy the quiet sandy paradise that is Elmer, whether it be a quick dip in one of the salt water bays or a gentle stroll.

There is a dedicated parking space for the flat within the apartment car park. Parking is free at all times.

Guest Access:

There is parking space clearly marked with the flat number located in the second car park entrance on the left. The flat is located round the back of the car park.

There is a pub a two minute walk from the flat, along with a local convenience store around a five minute walk away.

There is also a bus stop nearby.

You're spoilt for choice when it comes to walks or bike rides, from a stroll along the beach, to a ramble in the countryside.

Whilst Elmer has a lovely remote feel due to it being so quiet, you're still within a short drive 10-30 mins from many local towns such as Chichester, Arundel, Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, if you fancy the hustle and bustle or simply need a supermarket to grab some groceries.

There is also a leisure centre including a gym and tennis courts located around a two minute drive from the flat.

Guest Interaction:

Whilst you'll have the property to yourself, I live locally and wish to make sure your stay is perfect. I'm simply a phone call away if there is anything you need, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Other Notes:

Bathroom towels and shower gel, shampoo and conditioner included, along with a spare towel for dogs. Also include spare pack of sanitory products and make up wipes.

Fresh coffee beans and tea bags included.

Dogs are welcome, there are two dog bowls and a jar of treats for them :-)

There's also spare beach equipment including yoga mats and sun brolly. Don't forget your swimwear though! Also, definitely worth bringing a paddleboard if you have one.

There's a large throw for snuggling up on the sofa in the evening!

A hamper of goodies upon arrival.

The Neighbourhood Overview:

The flat is situated on a private beach estate, so it is generally very quiet, but the locals are absolutely lovely and happy to chat.

The Cabin is a wonderful local dog friendly pub, featuring regular live music. So if you do wish to interact with some of the locals, this is a great place!

On my first visit to Elmer, I fell in love with its beautiful beach and tranquil feel. I'm a big fan of Cornwall, which Elmer reminds me of. The flat has been a very personal project as I also holiday there myself.

Getting Around:

By car, there is the A259 which is the West to East Coast road, giving easy access to Littlehampton, Bognor Regis, Chichester and Arundel.

By train, the nearest train station is Ford which is about ten min drive away

By bus, the bus stop is a two min walk from the flat (outside The Cabin pub), which has a regular service.

By foot, there are many wonderful local walks, both beach and countryside. I have recommended routes in the manual.

By bike, there are some wonderful bike rides along the coast and over the South Downs which are located nearby.
