About this property

Seaview Beach Apartment, 11 Thurlestone Rock is a welcoming third-floor apartment resting within the South Devon National Landscape in Thurlestone, Devon. Presenting sweeping sea and beach views that create an uplifting setting for families and friends seeking a coastal break, boasting proximity to Exmoor National Park. Arriving at Sea View Beach Apartment, guests pull into their designated parking space and step out to the soft rush of the nearby shoreline. A short walk through the apartment complex leads you towards this inviting third-floor retreat, positioned with immediate access to the beach and sweeping dual aspect views that take in the sea, the sand and the surrounding countryside.

Opening the door, a gentle warmth rises underfoot as you follow the smooth, wood-toned flooring that flows throughout the apartment, drawing you towards the open-plan living space. The sitting area opens out before you, filled with coastal light and framed by striking floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that draw the outside in. These open directly onto the large front balcony, where comfortable seating invites you to sit back and take in uninterrupted views across the rocky shoreline, tidal pools and wide sweep of sea beyond. Shared between the living area and the master bedroom, this generous outdoor space presents far-reaching views across the shoreline and rolling headlands, creating an uplifting spot for relaxed breakfasts or evenings unwinding above the waterline.

Inside, the kitchen sits neatly to one side, perfectly placed for preparing holiday meals, with the dining area standing ready for sociable gatherings after days on the beach, all set against a backdrop of ever-changing coastal scenery. A compact utility space provides a practical corner for storing sandy shoes or refreshing beachwear, then the hallway guides you toward the bedrooms. The emperor-size bedroom offers a calm and inviting place to settle, with direct access to the balcony allowing you to step outside and take in the sea air from the moment you wake. The en suite adds a private place to refresh.

The twin room provides flexible sleeping arrangements, while the adult bunk room includes full-size bunks designed for adults, ideal for friends or families sharing the space. The family bathroom is well-presented, featuring a bath with shower over, offering a bright and neatly finished space to unwind after a day by the coast. Returning towards the living area, you discover a second smaller balcony set to the side of the apartment, catching the changing light and presenting a sheltered corner for reading, enjoying a drink or simply taking in glimpses of the sea and countryside. Just moments from the building, the beach invites you to enjoy sands, shoreline walks and revitalising sea dips.

A shop lies within a pleasant walk, while a welcoming pub sits a little farther on, perfect for relaxed meals and evenings out. The surrounding South Devon National Landscape stretches in every direction, with footpaths, coves and dramatic coastal scenery waiting to be explored. For days out, the vibrant harbour town of Salcombe lies within easy reach. Meander between independent shops, wander along the waterfront or take a scenic ferry crossing that reveals wooded trails and sheltered coves accessible only by boat. Bigbury-on-Sea offers a different coastal experience, with a wide curve of sand leading towards iconic Burgh Island where the famous tidal causeway appears and disappears with the rhythm of the water.

Further north, Exmoor National Park provides a dramatic change of scenery through deep valleys, sweeping moorland and welcoming villages filled with charm. Within an hour of Thurlestone, you can discover Dartmouth, where colourful riverside homes, a historic castle and waterside dining create a memorable day out. Totnes offers a lively market town atmosphere with independent shops, a hilltop castle and a riverside walk that follows quiet bends through the countryside. Burgh Island completes the trio, combining Art Deco heritage, cinematic landscapes and the timeless draw of the tidal causeway. End each day on the balcony, settled into the outdoor seating as the light fades over the water and the sound of the waves drifts in, rounding off your stay at Seaview Beach Apartment, 11 Thurlestone Rock in this scenic corner of Devon.
