  Apartment felt clean, bright and fresh.

  Everything neat and tidy for our family stay. Well appointed kitchen with good quality fittings, utensils, cutlery/crockery - all looks new, even the board games still had their cellophane wrappers on. The apartment occupies the top floor but you lose a lot of effective floor space due to the eaves - not a problem for us as we were using it as a base so didn't spend huge amounts of time there but even our kids bumped their heads until we all got used to it. I'm 6ft but couldn't stand up straight in front of the toilet. The bathroom is mostly the shower - but this is a good thing, as with the kitchen, the bathroom has quality fittings and was clean and new. There's no parking on site but there's a couple of long stay car parks only a short walk and Sykes added us on to the parking permits so we didn't need to pay. Both bedrooms had good fans in, but we stayed during the hottest spell of the year so far, and it was uncomfortably hot at night. Nice apartment, only 5 mins from the beach - sadly the top end of Fore Street in Seaton is feeling tired which doesn't match the quality of the apartment once you're in it. Would stay in the building again, but with hindsight Apt 1 or 2 on the first floor may suit us better so you get floor-to-ceiling height round the whole accommodation. Not too much of an issue as we were out all day, but wouldn't want to live in it for too long. There's no garden - the description on the Vrbo listing saying "property grounds" isn't correct - this is a picture of the small public park round the corner that the back of the property overlooks.

  A beautiful, well-equipped apartment with fantastic view of the sea.

  We had a wonderful relaxed week's stay at Breakwater, as it felt a lot of thought had gone into the choice of furnishing and decor. The property was exceptionally clean on arrival and offered everything a family could possibly need for their stay, including Netflix and good wifi connection. The corridor sofa with extra TV and PS3 was a welcomed surprise for our 12 year old son too. The 1-hour parking bay outside the house meant it was easy to load and unload on arrival and departure. We enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking on Seaton Beach and loved the Hideaway cafe at the end of Seaton Esplanade. Seafield Gardens next to the apartment has a well maintained crazy golf course, tennis courts and children's play area. We found that Seaton is a great base to explore other towns in Devon/Dorset too. We spent a day on the beach in Sidmouth and Hive Beach, near Burton Bradstock, with lots of evenings in Lyme Regis where so many restaurants offer exceptional food. Our favourites were Lilac, offering exquisite tapas style sharing dishes, and The Oyster and Fish House, where you can sit outside in the warm weather and watch the sun go down over the bay. We had a fantastic time and would happily stay here again.

  This is a lovely apartment well decorated with a black and white theme and retention of some period features.

  Car parking is in a public car park some 2 mins walk away. There are close to the property short stay bays of 30 minutes and we used these to load and unload the car. The apartment is one of three in a building which has commercial premises at ground level. Under apartment 2 was a Taste of Devon butcher. We had little noise from this establishment and what we did have was after 09.00am. I can recommend the sausages and kebabs. The other side was a Thai restaurant which while busy (we did not use this restaurant) again did not bother us. There is an outside seating area looking out onto a green. However at the rear of the Thai restaurant is an air conditioning cooling unit. This is quite noisy. This did not bother us unduly getting to sleep as we had the windows and doors closed. If it was hot in the bedroom and while there was a fan unit in there if you needed a window or door open it could an issue. The unit turned off at 1.00am. The apartment is very close to the seafront, an Aldi and two pubs and eatery's. Would recommend Pisani pizza and Frydays fish and chips.

  The apartment represented everything for which we always wish.

  It was a delight to have no "hand-me-downs" and have the use of thoughtfully chosen, matching fittings, equipment, crockery, cutlery, bed linen and furniture etc. It was unfortunate that the washing machine was not working. This probably was a glitch on a newly installed appliance and I would not mark down my review as a notice had been attached to the machine. And these things happen anyway. I was conscious of being on the second floor and trust that when Apartments 1 & 2 are in use, the owners will include instructions to users of all Apartments that the self-closing fire doors (which I assume will be fitted), giving on to the stairwell are not wedged open. I had occasion to call Lyme Bay Properties about my Parking Permit. My enquiry was dealt with sympathetically by a very pleasant courteous lady to whom I spoke at a later date to compliment the owners on the excellence of Apartment 3.

  Property in excellent location , there is no parking at the property you can unload your car and then move it to the car park which is a couple of minutes walk away and a permit is given for the length of your stay , we didn’t find it a problem. Beer is a lovey quaint place with plenty of places to eat and drink , it’s has a lovely deli and bakery a small store , a couple of dress shops and lovely gift shops .The beach is pebbles with beach huts you could rent for around £20 a day or £85 a week or just hire deck chairs for £2 . Also a fish shed at the beach selling the catch of the day you couldn’t get fish any fresher it was lovely . Beer is definitely a lovey place and would definitely recommend a visit . Seabreeze cottage is a lovely place to stay our only issue was working the tv we got there in the end but never did manage to get rid of the subtitles !!
