A vibrant coastal apartment boasting glistening harbour views and nestled in the bustling centre of Brixham, this stylish oasis is the perfect retreat for family and friends holidaying on the Devon Coast. Load up on Tudor maritime history as you bound aboard the Golden Hind galleon museum, then tuck into a balmy al fresco spread on your private terrace.

This sunny property features a colourful nautical interior with rich tones and bright social spaces. Step inside the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner and kick off sandy shoes by the door then flop down on the armchair and kick up your feet to unwind after a day by the sea. Potter through to the shaker-style kitchen flooded with natural light then get to work prepping a simple supper for the gang. Fire on a crowd-pleasing playlist on the Smart TV, set the glass table, pop a bottle, and then dive in for a celebratory feast with your nearest and dearest. After dinner, retire to the lounge area with a sweet treat and sink onto the sofa for an evening of board game-fuelled fun or plan out the next day's adventures. For a moment of peace, hide away in the snug and watch the comings and goings of the harbour below. Head upstairs to the well-presented bedrooms, consisting of an en-suite double, a cosy bunk room, and a further double. Grab a book and enjoy a leisurely breakfast on the outdoor terrace.

Brixham is an ideal coastal destination for all the family. Whether you are sipping fragrant cocktails and exotic teas at the eclectic waterfront tearoom, within 100 metres, gliding alongside the marine life with a scuba session at Breakwater Beach, 500 metres, or soaking in the rugged coastline in vintage style aboard the Dartmouth Steam Railway, 7 miles, there is something to keep everyone entertained.

Perfect location and comfortable apartment except for the outdoor area that failed to match the photo and was unusable. The outdoor table had a broken umbrella and the area was dirty and unkempt.

We came for the pirate festival and had an amazing time. I dress up as ursula so staying above the mermaid was really apt. Wish I'd been quicker and rebooked for next year xx

This is a stunning 2 floor apartment with every window having wonderful views over Brixham harbour, we even saw Sammy the seal swimming around. The place is beautifully decorated and it has everything you need for your holiday. You can hear the music from the bars on a Friday and Saturday night but the best thing to do is go down and join the fun.

Lovely apartment overlooking the harbour, great place to stay, local to everything you need, fab restaurants and takeaways, really enjoyed our stay, would highly recommend. Car park 10 min walk away, but not a problem, recommend getting a parking permit for carpark, saved lots in parking fees. Brixham Marina is lovely.
