We loved it, what a beautiful house, very clean and well equipped. Great location central to everything.We were a party of 4 couples and by the description we were led to believe there was 4 bathrooms with showers but there was only 3 showers and we had to share with another couple which was very awkward.
Our third visit to Sea Vale, four friends who get together from different parts of south England once a year.We love staying here in such a beautiful 'seaside home' and all that the surrounding area offers.Nick is excellent even with return guests when we contact him with any questions including silly ones!Our many thanks to Nick and Judith for such a lovely place to stay.
A well-equipped spacious house with a wonderful first floor sun room and balcony looking out to sea, located in a very peaceful road. Probably the best property we have ever stayed at.
House were very communicative and approachable. Property came with everything you could possibly need right down to a bottle of wine welcomers as we arrived and coffee and tea in the cup cupboard.All the immunities you might need plus more. Friendly neighbourhood.
Location excellent just on the beach where everybody went and found shells, stones even an ammonite. So we went home with a small memento.House was amazing with everything catered for, the communication was faultless so there was no delay in getting in or knowing where things were.Overall a very successful four nights for everybody and I think the owners have got it right.
A beautiful home in a beautiful location. A literal stones throw from the sea with stunning views from the first floor balcony. Communication with the owner was great and the property is clearly well looked after. Would 100% recommend! Thank you!
Lovely location with great beach access. House provided all we needed. Enough space for us all to dine and relax together as well as providing rooms for private space. Everyone in our party would be happy to return. Thank you for good weekend.
Sea Vale is a lovely welcoming house right on the beach. Well equipped for even the most discerning of houseguests. We were a three generation family and we all agreed that it's one of the best holiday houses we have stayed in. Thank you Nick for a great stay.
Lovely house with absolutely everything we needed. Amazing beach access and the garden was devine. Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful home to celebrate a family birthday.
Super house for a family gathering with easy parking for 4 cars in driveway. So close to the beach you can hear the waves. Lovely and clean and very comfortable. Secure for the dogs to run around the garden and minutes to the beach with sand at low tide. Walk to Lobster Pot for delicious coffee. Communication with Judith and Nick was excellent. The balcony space at first floor was something special.
The property is excellently located for the local beach which our dogs loved. Local amenities were as youâd expect for a seaside area. The kitchen was well equipped, and the bathrooms and bedrooms were tidy.
We had a family Christmas stay at Sea Vale and everyone was very happy with the property and the location. The house is very homely and well equipped with modern appliances. The owners have clearly gone to a lot of effort (and cost) to make the place feel special. We have stayed in numerous properties in the UK and Europe and Sea Vale is among the best.There is ample parking at the property and good internet too.The beach is just a couple of minutes walk from the house, a mix of shingle, sand and thousands of sea shells. We found the area very quiet and tranquil and nice and dark at night so good for star gazing. There's a couple of pubs not far from the house within walking distance and a very well equipped shop so we did not need to use our cars at all. We would thoroughly recommend a visit to Sea Vale as a very nice place to unwind and take in the sea air located in a friendly community. Whilst it's not that far to drive from the house to Brighton or Bognor one did have the pleasant feeling that we were far from the madding crowd in a little haven off the beaten track, quite hard to find these days!
Short stay bang on the beach. Great house with ensuites for all 4 bedrooms. Location perfect, everything you need at your finger tips.hosts were amazing and had thought of everything from cling film to dog bowls, dishwasher tablets and shower gel. Definitely recommend.
A lovely property in a perfect location.
We stayed for 3 nights while visiting friends who moved down to Sussex a few years ago.
The property is spacious and well layed out.
The view from the master bedroom is outstanding
Lovely property in a fabulous location. Sat watching the waves from the balcony for so long! Great hosts with lots of communication and recommendations before the stay and the little helpful notes throughout the house. Brilliant for large families with plenty of space and amenities.
Would definitely recommend and stay again.
Return visit to Sea Vale as a lovely house you feel immediately at home in with everything you need.
All you have to do is arrive and enjoy!
Wine left to welcome us a much appreciated gesture and already thinking about planning our visit next year.
Great location right on the beach with plenty to keep everyone happy by the beach and exploring the surrounding area.
The whole family had a fabulous stay. The house was fantastic and the location was second to none. We will definitely return sometime in the future. It was a very happy and smiley summer holiday for us. Thanks for the memories made :-) x
My wife and I live near Guildford (our children have flown the nest and are producing grandchildren). I am a Chartered Surveyor so my professional background has always been in property and between us we manage a varied property portfolio but this is our own holiday house.
Sea Vale has been in my wife's family since she was a child. She has happy memories of childhood holidays in Elmer and we, in turn, have holidayed for many years at Sea Vale with our own children.
The beach is unbelievably quiet and unspoiled because access is through a private estate. This is a friendly community and Elmer is close to almost every facility that you could think of.
In 2012 we bit the bullet and carried out massive renovations and alterations to transform the house into a 21st Century holiday home that we are proud of. In 2015/2016 we carried out another very exciting project which added a dramatically attractive sun room and balcony at first floor level with full central heating and views out to the beach, the main bedroom has a new ensuite shower room and there's a small study facing out to the garden off the sitting room with high speed broadband. The two upstairs bedrooms have double beds and the two ground floor bedrooms have twin beds which can be put together to make doubles if you want. Our children and grandchildren now use the house often but there are plenty of times when it would be empty if we didn't make it available for others to use as well.
There are lovely walks along the beach heading either East or West. Try walking East to Climping for a pub lunch or walk West to the Lobster Pot on the beach in Felpham for brunch etc.
From the first floor sun room you can while away the hours gazing at the horizon - time evaporates up here (as does the wine in your glass!). You can enjoy the sunshine through open bi-fold doors up here even in the winter.
East Beach Cafe at Littlehampton is a very popular restaurant serving great beachside food and we have one of the best Indian restaurants in the next village who will deliver to the house.
The village post office includes a small supermarket where you'll find almost everything you could want but there is also a One Stop supermarket slightly further down the road or a full scale Sainsbury's Superstore near Littlehampton.
