About this property
A tastefully presented first floor apartment, situated on a beautiful quiet unspoiled sandy beach, in the heart of Marske-by-the-Sea. With breath-taking views from the sitting room through floor to ceiling period windows, you can sit and watch the local fisherman launch their boats and return at the end of the day to watch the sun set. Fully modernised, the rooms are themed in a very calm and tranquil beach hut style, with light and airy decor, a wonderful L shaped sofa, and a central effective fireplace. The country cottage kitchen is surrounded by oak units, and even features a fold-out dining table, whilst the bathroom is uplifted by a mosaic backdrop, with a shower sitting above.
When the night draws in, two bedrooms will leave you spoilt for choice, continuing the ocean feel, with soft furnishings, and low lighting. Just across the private driveway/road is a terraced area with patio furniture where you can sit and take in the stunning views, and enjoy an evening meal. If you can steal yourself away from this idyllic scene, the pubs, tea rooms and shops in the village centre are just a few minutes stroll. You can leave your door and minutes later be on the tranquil sandy beach and perhaps walk two miles to the bohemian and vibrant spa town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea with its historic pier and cliff railway.
It would be easy to think you are in a remote location, but it is a very convenient base to explore the true delights of the North York Moors villages and seaside resorts such as Whitby. Something here for every age group whatever the season.
Marske-by-the-Sea is a small, coastal village with long, wide, sandy beaches. Originally an old fishing village, it now has a selection of local shops and pubs, which cater for all the family, plus the safe, sandy beaches, sand dunes and fishing boats. Places of interest nearby include Captain Cook's birthplace, the mining museum, and the Zetland Lifeboat Museum. The old Victorian spa town of Saltburn is just three miles away and it's an easy drive to other seaside resorts such as Whitby.

This was our third time and we've already booked for 2025! We arrived this time just in time for Storm Darragh. It was lovely to be warm and cosy inside and to be able to watch the waves from the bay window. It's only a short stroll into town for shopping and a coffee or beer. Plenty of eateries and takeaways in Marske too. Nearby Saltburn and Redcar provide more shopping and tourist activities. Looking forward to our next visit.

However , the furniture and carpets were tired and the not the most comfortable. The kitchen crockery and table ware was in poor condition. Lack of Pots to cook with and most unusual cutlery ! TV very small and sound was inconsistent. Having said that the Bathroom and Bedrooms were good .

There were shops close by and walks directly from the apartment onto the beach or along the cliff tops. The only downside as far as we were concerned is that the TV is very small especially given the size of the room. It certainly wouldn't stop us though from recommending and we will most certainly go back
