About this property
This apartment sits 150 metres from the shoreline at Watergate Bay on the North Cornwall coast, with panoramic sea views from its full-width balcony. A strong fit for couples and small families looking for an active coastal holiday, the apartment is across the road and down the slipway from the beach. Watergate Bay's 2 miles of sand are popular with families, surfers, and thrill seekers. Facing the open Atlantic, incoming swell makes it an excellent spot for surfing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and kite surfing – a surf school on the beach offers lessons in all four. The coast path runs in both directions, with routes north to Mawgan Porth and south towards Newquay's seven bays, tracing dramatic clifftop scenery along the way. Surf competitions and vibrant music festivals run throughout the year, and a choice of beachfront restaurants and bars lines the bay.
Patio doors in the open-plan living area open onto the full-width balcony with its sea views, flooding the space with natural light. A leather armchair and double sofa bed sit around the TV with SkyTV, and a DVD player. Between the living area and the well-equipped kitchen, a dining table with four chairs creates a sociable spot for mealtimes. The double bedroom has a zip-and-link bed that can be configured as a king-size or arranged as twin beds, giving flexibility depending on the group. The bathroom has a shower over the bath, a WC, and a heated towel rail. Back in the living area, the double sofa bed folds out to provide sleeping space for two additional guests, making the apartment work well for up to four. An iron, ironing board, and hairdryer are all provided.
The full-width balcony runs across the front of the apartment, with a table and chairs for al fresco dining and views out across the bay. A surf shower, shared with other guests in the development, is available for rinsing off after the beach, and a secure storage cage in the basement provides space for surfboards, wetsuits, and beach toys. Designated parking is provided for one car.
