Fabulous Beach Front Holiday Home. 4 Bedrooms for 8 Guests. 100+ 5* Reviews....
Sea Vale has been in our family since my wife was a child. Initially it was only for our own use but since deciding to make it available for others to use we have totally renovated the house, bringing it flying into the 21st Century.
The house is right on the beach with lovely sea views and has a beautiful open plan living style on the ground floor flowing onto a wooden deck with the garden beyond which faces South. Every modern convenience has been thought of including under-floor heating throughout the ground floor. The decor is strictly "seaside" with plenty of little touches that leave you in no doubt that you are living on the beach.
Walk out of the garden gate onto Elmer Beach which has to be one of the quietest & most private beaches on the South coast. Elmer Beach Estate is privately owned with no public access to the beach. During peak seasons and bank holidays there is a gate at the end of the road to limit vehicle access to residents.

Perfect for family gatherings
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.

Lovely modern home by the sea
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!

Beautiful Beach Break
We spent the first week of the New Year at this amazing house. The house itself was perfect for our family of six. Plenty of space, fully equipped kitchen, two TVs, and loads of games/jigsaws etc.
The beach was less than a minute away, and can be seen from the amazing terrace. We all walked it, and I went for a run one morning. Very dog friendly.
There’s a shop and a pub within five minutes walking distance, and bigger shops about five minutes in the car.
We went to eat in the Oystercatcher, ten minutes drive away (in Climping?), and also to La Cucina in Rustington. Both excellent.
Overall a fantastic stay. We will be back!
Thanks!

Jamie & family
Celebrating my wife’s forthcoming 60th birthday which is in January, she didn’t want a party but just wanted to be away for a few days with the family. Accommodation catered for all of us, from us oldies & our grandson who is nearly 2, even great for Tilly the dog. Such great views to the beach from the upstairs seating area off of the main bedroom, then there is the downstairs open plan kitchen/living room where everyone can interact. What more could we need, a few paces to the beach and at the end of the drive a pub & local shop. Just so comfortable for all of us, thank you Nick & Judith for sharing your holiday home and allowing us to have little piece of your heaven. Hope in the future we can return & experience it in the summer.

Sister's reunion
The property was excellent for us, as fully equipped as anyone could wish. We ran out of time to add to the visitors book. The only fly in the ointment had nothing to do with the property but access to the sea which for us was too difficult given the steep incline on the stony surface but clearly those with young children and more limber mobility were making marvellous memories, a joy to see, so for those fit enough, a perfect home and location

Our family of 8 and the dogs, had a delightful stay at this lovely seaside home. The property was clean throughout and has a very well stocked kitchen. The sun room with views of the sea was amazing. Plenty of room for everyone to relax and unwind.
Having the beach just a few steps away from the garden was fantastic. The garden was beautiful and very secure for the dogs. Even my tiny dog couldnt escape!
Would highly recommend and I hope we can stay again sometime. Thanks

Idyllic Beach Location
Immediately on arrival felt at home in a beautiful house that more than lived up to expectations, with a bottle of a bottle of wine on the table a nice touch.
Great base for day trips and enjoyed The Cabin pub with a great landlord and daily fresh baked bread from the PO/local store but get there when they open.
