  • Fabulous seaside apartment with an outstanding view of the English coast
  • Perfect location to explore the South Devon Coastal Path

  • Conveniently located less than half a mile from shops and eateries
Property code: OC-W28110

A sun-drenched seaside retreat perched in an elevated position above Torquay and boasting glistening ocean vistas. This inviting coastal gem is ideal for a family escape or intimate group gathering in an iconic Devonshire location. Make like the locals and tackle the gentle swells lapping ashore Torquay Beach (300 metres) during a guided water sports session, then refuel with an al fresco evening spread on the balcony with an unbeatable sea backdrop.

Why not attend one of the many annual events and festivals in the area, Torbay Air Show, Electric Bay festival, Paignton Festival, The Torbay Royal Regatta, Agatha Christie Festival, England's Seafood Feast, Devon County Show and the Bay of Lights

This chic top-floor apartment features a tastefully designed interior with crips white and sea blue hues, nautical striped soft furnishings, and seascape artwork. Drop beach bags at the door then step into the spacious lounge/diner. Sink onto the plump corner sofa to admire the tranquil coastal views or snuggle in on the armchair to thumb through a guidebook. In the evening, fold out the dining table and portion out some local seafood takeaway to be scoffed while overlooking the view. In summer months, prop open the balcony door to bask in the salty ocean air drifting inside. Rustle up dessert in the glossy kitchen or nominate a resident bartender to shake up some post-dinner drinks. Retire to the comfort of two tranquil bedrooms. Slip into the sheets of the double with private balcony access or scope out the elegant triple room with a double bottom bunk. Outdoors, while away hours on the suntrap balcony or blether into the early hours with a warm drink in hand.

Embark on an early morning saunter along the Torquay Harbour (500 metres) and swing by the independent stores to stock up on goodies. Feel the wind in your hair as you glide along the English Riverea on a sightseeing cruise from the Marina (500 metres) or amble along the South West Coast Path towards Anstey’s Cove (2 miles).

Great spot with panoramic views , easy (free) parking nearby, but expect it may be more troublesome in peak season. Easy access to facilities, bus stops at the bottom of the hill and train station 15-20 mins walk away so if moderately fit , once parked, you wouldn't need to use again. Enjoyed our time there !

The apartment was in a great central location, with super views over the marina and sea front areas, and all the rooms were well specified and equipped.

The apartment had everything you needed, comfortable, clean, balcony in a nice size.. Garden is beautiful.. And the most important thing was the VIEW absolutely stunning, you can not take your eyes off it my only negative is as you are high up for the stunning view, its lots of steps and hills to get to the Harbour but that is not the owner fault, Read morejust Bear that in mind..There is taxi rank at harbour only 6. One way you dont feel like the walk.. Hide

We loved our stay thank you. Fantastic views and a stylish, very comfortable and extremely well fitted out top floor flat. We had a wet day and were able to stay in and make Easter buns and sourdough bread and its not every place where you can pull that off. Guests should make sure they check out the garden and the private access through to theRead more pretty steps down to the water front. Hide

Beautiful apartment, with a fantastic view! Everything you could need for a home from home stay. I would say you need to be able bodied, due to the stairs to the apartment and the walk back up the hill from the sea front.you are rewarded with the fantastic view for your efforts however!

Amazing view- that in itself, makes the place worth booking. Tastefully decorated, compact little flat, with everything you might need for a short holiday. The shower is amazing, btw.
