Property code: OC-HECTOR

Take a break from everyday life at this chic, contemporary-style villa in the heart of the surfing resort of Croyde. Sleeping five people across three bedrooms, this is a great accommodation option for small families or groups of friends who want to experience a perfect beachside getaway on the North Devon coast. Spend happy days discovering the hidden coves at the Baggy Point or catching a wave in Croyde; and in the evening, come home to the villa’s lovely garden and take a relaxing dip in the outdoor hot tub.

Step inside and you’ll find a smart open-plan kitchen/dining room that’s perfect for sociable evenings with your loved ones. Make yourself at home in the living room – it’s bathed in a beautiful palette of coastal hues and boasts lovely garden views - before venturing to the chic kitchen area to cook dinner. Gather the gang for a sociable dinner in the stylish dining area, which is bathed in natural light from the bi-fold doors that lead out into the courtyard garden. Or, if you prefer dining alfresco, simply step out onto the patio and take a seat at the table. After dinner, grab a drink and make your way to the private tub to relax under the stars. When the day is done, you’ll find three lovely bedrooms to choose from on the first floor.

Grab your binoculars and go birdwatching at Braunton Burrows Nature Reserve (4.5 miles), which is home to an impressive array of larks, skylarks and warblers. Or pack up a picnic and get the gang together for a day of traditional seaside fun at Putsborough Beach (1.5 miles). Or take a surfing lesson at Croyde Beach (0.5 miles), which boasts one of the UK’s premier surfing breaks.

Great property in a great location to Croyde and Saunton Sands. The property was well equipped and ideal for a family to stay with the enclosed garden which is completely safe. Wouldn't hesitate to return. We had an exceptionally hot spell of weather and the property was hot (but cant be helped), but being able to open up all the biofold doors inRead more the property was a lifesaver. Only one small draw back the third bedroom was small but for a child is fine. As an adult in that room it would have been a squeeze. Other than that cannot fault it. Hide

A tale of two holidays The 1st in 2025 was amazing so we rebooked The 2nd was far from the experience we paid for A dead rotting bird which we had to clean up The outside black bin was full upon arrival which by the end of the holiday had insect coming over it The lawn was not mowed we were told it is done every two weeks but not on our weRead moreek We had to deal with ants that were everywhere they this was rectified but the next day The upstairs was cleaned but down stairs had a wipe over hardly what you expect Examples would be the job had food left dust had not been done the hot tub needs attention parts coming away It appears that other renters have not taken care of the rental but this should be inspected and rectified before our arrival Hide

Awesome location. We walked everywhere - beaches, pubs, small shops all very close by. Quite a lot of noise from the road at the bottom of the garden and the rooks in the trees but we got used to it. Would definitely book again.

In general we found the accommodation to be appointed and in a perfect location for the beach and the village amenities. The accommodation had all the modern appliances with all the operating instructions readily available. There was lots of information on the surrounding area which was also useful. It would have been nice to have hand towels in thRead moree bathrooms but not an issue as next time we will bring our own, and yes there will be a next time as we are going to book the property again for next year. That is the best recommendation we can give. Hide

Perhaps a few washing machine tablets to be left same as dishwasher. There seems to be a constant buzz throughout the night. I think from solar panels. As always too many bin Lorries arriving early and on too many days. Overall a lovely stay. For us as just a family of three using only two bedrooms maybe over our budget moving forward. I guess moreRead more expensive because of hot tub. Honestly a wonderful stay and some great memories. Thank you Hide

Absolutely lovely house in very easy reach of the village and the beach. Everything we needed for a great stay was in the property and the decor just made it feel instantly that we were on a beach break.
