Just a stone's throw from the beach, this East Wittering apartment is a cosy base for couples looking for a seaside escape. With a desk and fully-equipped kitchen, the home is great for remote working, while the living space is a comfortable substitute if your plan to hit the beach is rained off. You'll need to climb a flight of stairs to reach the first-floor entrance here, but the on-site parking means you won't need to carry your luggage far.

A Seabreeze Sanctuary

A short drive away from the Chichester Golf Club, the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the coast, this beautiful countryside home caters to anyone looking to explore South East England, but a rural location also makes it a retreat for relaxation. Once you’ve spent one morning out in the fresh air, dining al fresco in the garden, you’ll understand what we mean. Let the tranquillity seep into your bones as you nurse a cup of coffee on the sun lounger as you overlook the rolling green landscape.

Walk moments away to find an award-winning pub where you can spend afternoons in a quintessentially British way as you bask in the sunny beer garden. 

When not enjoying the outdoors, find your place inside, where countryside charm is the order of the day. Enjoy fresh fruit and Full English breakfasts in the farm-style kitchen, family movie night around the fireplace in the living room, and you’ll be guaranteed to find the bookworms in the small, private library. 

Quay House

Set near the water’s edge on Hayling Island, this contemporary home really makes the most of its picturesque position. The house has an upside-down layout, with the bedrooms on a lower floor and the living space upstairs, ensuring extra-special views from the sofa. We love the garden, which has plenty of room to relax in the fresh sea air, and the covered balcony, where you can enjoy the view even when it rains. The island itself is a true holiday haven, with unspoilt beaches, scenic cycle trails, and a kid-friendly amusement park. Little ones will also like this home’s hidden playroom and bunk bed slide – but guests of all ages will love this coastal gem. 

 Tides of Hayling

Looking for an easy breezy coastal retreat just moments from the beach? We've got you covered. This immaculately-presented family home is just a three-minute hop from the pebble shores of sleepy Wittering in West Sussex.

Newly renovated, light-filled and united by a sophisticated, neutral palette, you'll feel right at home here. Sunny days call for lazy alfresco brunches on the terrace while little ones and their four-legged friends burn off some energy on the vast manicured lawns. Then pack up your beach bags and head to the seafront for kite flying and paddling – or up the ante with kayaking and paddleboard hire in West Wittering. And when tummies start to rumble, you can easily pop back home to rustle up a picnic or swing by the local beachfront café.

Meanwhile, wintery days are all about bracing beach walks for a dose of sea air before hunkering down back home. Break out the home's board games around the dining table. Challenge your crew to a pool and air hockey game in the garden room or games console session. Then drop and flop for a cosy film night – there's stacks to keep you busy here. And if you need to slope away to catch up on work, the top-floor bedroom has a dedicated desk space – just try not to get too distracted by those sweeping sea views.

Beach Bunnies

This address might look effortlessly stylish on the surface, but look a little closer and you'll find that all the home comforts are present and correct. In the living room, for instance, there's a log-burner that you can get crackling while you loll about on the plush sofas facing the warmth. Up in the master bedroom — itself painted in a sultry tone of navy blue — there's an eye-catching copper bathtub that will have you scheduling a long uninterrupted soak into your itinerary. The rest of the house is dotted with house plants — especially in the light and airy kitchen-dining room — but if you want a bit more horticulture, head out into the private patio space, which is lined with flourishing beds and potted foliage. There's plenty of seating out here for taking full advantage of bursts of unseasonable weather, as well as a barbecue in case you're truly lucky. Even better is the fact that Chichester's main landmarks are within such easy walking distance. The Cathedral takes five minutes to reach, as does the town's castle.

Courtyard Breakfast

Only a short stroll from West Wittering Beach, this home provides the perfect base for exploring the West Sussex coast. We love the cosy, seaside-inspired design – think white-washed panelling, wicker furniture, and a cute window seat where you can curl up with a book. Family-style feasts can be rustled up with ease in the kitchen, while the patio is a great place to enjoy an alfresco digestif. As the bunk bed is only suitable for little ones, it's a better fit for families. Factor in the quick drive to Chichester and the proximity to the sea, and it's no wonder it caught our eye.

Coastal Cotton

Set at the end of a quiet residential street, a short stroll from Bracklesham Bay beach, this home is ideal for a family break by the sea. There’s only one bathroom and a WC for six guests to share here, but if you find yourself in a queue to get ready in the mornings, the garden is the perfect spot to relax with a coffee and a book. After a day exploring the coast, evenings will be well spent back in the outdoor space as food sizzles on the barbecue.

Orchard & Sea

Located just steps from the beautiful East Wittering beach, this contemporary home is the ultimate seaside staycation. Boasting a private balcony with sea views, start the day with a cup of coffee while you breathe in the fresh sea air. When you're ready to head out and explore, you'll find golden shores mere minutes away, where you can stroll, sunbathe and surf the waves. If you fancy beach hopping, West Wittering is only a 10-minute drive away and has Blue Flag status.

After a day on the sand, travel home to jump in the shower and enjoy a family dinner in the garden. The lush green lawn offers plenty of space to stretch out and is perfect for little ones wanting to blow off some steam while the adults prepare food on the barbecue. When dinner's ready, gather everyone around the dining table on the patio and tuck in.


Sussex Surf

Nestled in the Sussex countryside, this 16th-century farmhouse boasts a sunny conservatory, a hot tub, and a private outdoor pool – a rare find for homes in this area. While it’s well set up for a family getaway, groups are not allowed here. The home comprises a main house and a separate annexe – with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living area – rented as one. The main kitchen has everything you’ll need to whip up a family feast, or if you want a night off catering duties, your host can arrange for a private chef to cook for you in the home. Location-wise, you’ll find historic Chichester and the nearest beach both a five-minute drive away.

Golden Dwelling

Once a stable, this place has been converted into a luxury home fit for the finest filly. It’s not often that a home in England has a backyard to rival a Tuscan retreat or Californian hideaway, but the hot tub here sets the lavish tone, and the full outdoor kitchen keeps it going. Under a wooden pergola, you’ll find an outdoor lounge under the stars where a brick fireplace keeps things warm when the sun goes down. Inside, tufted leather sofas invite you to sit back as a family amidst the striking equine artworks as a fire crackles in the wood-burning stove. We particularly love the barn-style sliding doors that offer a reminder of the building’s former life as a stable. The indoor kitchen is a delight to cook in, designed country-style with a big range cooker, yet modern feeling in slate grey. If you want to get out and explore the area you’ll find a pleasing mix of rural walking routes in the surrounding hills, and the quaint coffee shops, local pubs and shops of Bosham village a fifteen-minute walk away. The centre of Chichester is just a ten-minute drive away too.   

Horsemen Pass By

A timber cabin surrounded by meadows and woodland might sound like a back-to-basics retreat, but at this home in rural Sussex, guests will have a wealth of luxuries at their disposal.

This is before you've even entered the home, as well. Out on the decked terrace, there's a hot tub from which you can enjoy the tranquillity of the local area, as well as a sofa and swing seat. When the sun goes down, there are festoon lights to turn on, plus a charcoal barbecue and fire pit to keep you fed and warm.

If the temperature dips a little too low, there's a wood-burning fireplace inside the home, as well as plenty of cosy blankets and board games. Inside, the design is rustic in places, as with the weathered wood dining table, but the sleek black kitchen and stylish bedrooms are nothing but modern.

When it comes to filling up your itinerary, there's so much to see and do nearby. The sprawling South Downs National Park starts a minute's drive to the north, while the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty sits a similar amount of time in the opposite direction. The town of Bognor Regis and its beach can be reached in twenty-five minutes.




Teddy Bear's Picnic

They say that first impressions are everything and we defy anybody not to be wowed upon laying eyes upon this Georgian property close to the West Sussex – the handsome brickwork, large sash windows and manicured front garden give off a real air of grandeur.

We're happy to report that this attention to appearance continues inside. The design treads the fine balance between heritage and modernity rather adroitly, with antique furnishings and decorative items sitting quite happily alongside more contemporary artworks and a smart kitchen. As well as looking the part, you won't struggle to get cosy in the pair of living rooms, complete with shelves packed full of books, a fireplace and a grand piano next to the bay window.

Nor will there be any difficulty in finding somewhere to unwind in the large garden during bursts of warm weather. Little ones will love bouncing about on the trampoline, while there's a large alfresco table that is the perfect setting for an alfresco dinner party – as well as a barbecue to help make that a reality.

If you're ever in need of ingredients, there's a farm shop just next door to the home. You don't have to go far to find distractions, either. The seaside village of Selsey is just over five minutes' drive away and there's a great choice of beaches in the local area, including West Wittering about twenty minutes away in the car. The cathedral city of Chichester takes a similar amount of time northwards, too.
