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

The prospect of a rejuvenating coastal escape fills us with an instant sense of excitement. And this home, nestled in the charming village of East Wittering, provides the perfect spot to get cosy and embrace the refreshing spirit of the sea. 

Set across three floors, the owners have designed this home to bring warmth and fun to daily living. Enjoy slow mornings in the sun-dappled living room, get creative in the fully equipped kitchen and spend lazy afternoons with a book by the fire. And when the weather draws you outside, the garden is a wonderful spot for balmy evening drinks and barbecue meals. Kids will also love playing in the tree house. 

Beyond this private sanctuary, it’s just a short walk to East Wittering beach as well as the local pub and shops, while Chichester Marina is less than a fifteen-minute drive away. So whether you’re hiking, sightseeing or simply enjoying the bliss of doing nothing, this home has everything you could need to experience the natural charm of the West Sussex Coast. 

Waves of Happiness      

An outdoor swimming pool might not be the first thing you expect to see in the UK, but this coastal home is full of surprises. And perhaps the best surprise of all is it’s just a seven-minute walk away from West Wittering’s blue flag beach. Here, you can easily start your day with a morning walk along the sand, surfing the waves, or with a coffee at a seafront café. Perhaps an amble through the countryside is how you’d like to kick off your day – your private estate is nestled between fields, or you can head to the South Downs for a cycle through verdant valleys. 

There’s plenty to keep all the family entertained at home, too. Get on the Peloton, bounce around the trampoline, or have a game of table tennis. But it’s not all go-go-go here – sometimes all you want to do is read your book beside the pool, basking in the UK’s beautiful south coast. Whip up a pitcher of fruity Pimms to be enjoyed around the outdoor sofa, chatting away while the kids splash in the pool. Or better still – hop in the bubbling jacuzzi for total relaxation. 

If a jam-packed day has left you all tired, a quiet barbecue at home is the perfect way to round off the evening. If you fancy going out, it’s the ideal time to explore West Wittering’s pubs – there’s a great one nearby. Or you can take a twenty-five-minute walk to East Wittering for a change of scenery. 

Countryside Sunrise

This charming contemporary home is a five-minute walk from the sea and offers a tranquil, coastal retreat for your West Sussex escape. A home for all seasons, the living room boasts a wood burner, perfect for cosy nights in when it’s cold outside, watching a movie as the flames cast an amber glow around the room. In warmer months, light the barbecue and enjoy an alfresco meal with loved ones as the late afternoon sun warms your skin. And whatever the weather, the roll-top bath has to be indulged – add some bubbles and sink into its warm water after a busy day exploring the coast, and relaxation will wash over you. 

If you’re keen to show off your culinary skills, the sleek kitchen is ready and waiting to help you rustle up a delicious meal. Nearby you’ll find a whole host of eateries if you don’t fancy cooking – Bracklesham Bay has a great selection of restaurants and fish and chip shops, and both West and East Wittering have some fabulous pubs that offer up a tasty bite to eat. 

Captivated by the Coast

Unplug and reconnect with loved ones in this magnificent coastal home. This is a contemporary yet homely haven, set in just under one acre of mature gardens, filled with fruit trees and weeping willows. Natural light is ushered into the open-plan living, kitchen and dining area, the true heart of the home, and deep comfortable sofas, a natural palette and beautiful log burners welcome you in and wrap you up in a hug. Enjoy a movie night in front of the flat-screen TV – but only after you’ve indulged in a divine feast at the sprawling dining table, neatly tucked amongst a corner of windows. Sneak off for a relaxing bubble bath with a glass of Prosecco in hand, and it will be the most wonderful way to unwind. 
 
After a restful night’s sleep under the crisp white sheets, you’ll awake feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. Indulge in a morning coffee sat next to the lavender, listening to the hum of the bees for a peaceful morning treat. This home is a magical escape bringing together coast, town and country effortlessly. 

Wind in Your Sails

This is the kind of place we'd recommend for a longer stay, just because we feel that a one-week booking will barely let you scrape the surface of all it has to offer. The insides are designed for a large family to play, relax, and adventure together, especially as the house is well-equipped with cooking supplies, DVDs, and games. But of course, the real highlight of this house is its beautiful natural surroundings – the mudflats outside offer a unique opportunity for wildlife fanatics and birdwatchers to get their wellies on and reconnect with nature. We love how the whole house is designed with the awareness of the natural beauty just outside, and every room has a stunning view that keeps inviting you to go outdoors. The living space benefits from large picture windows, an intricate fireplace and nautical furnishings that make it as homely as it is bright. Speaking of, the luminous conservatory is a light and airy space to enjoy group meals together while keeping one eye out for the lesser spotted red-breasted merganser. Better still, start your day in the calm fresh air – there's a lovely patio and garden area to enjoy your morning coffee from, complete with an outdoor dining table and chairs. When you're ready to explore the nearby towns, we recommend that you start with Chichester's Cathedrals, then take a twenty-minute drive to West Wittering beach for a day trip. If there are Peppa Pig fans in your party, then a visit to Peppa Pig World at Paulton's Park is also a must. While others may enjoy mooching around the picturesque village of Bosham next door – a six-minute drive. There's so much to see and do here, although we wouldn't blame you for spending most of your time languorously birdwatching, playing games and enjoying the scenic waterfront surroundings at home.

Flow Theory

Elevate your seaside getaway in this gorgeous home, mere steps from the glittering West Sussex coastline. Here, you can unwind in the quintessential coastal town, making the holiday of your dreams come to life with morning swims, lunchtime beach picnics, afternoon surfs, and evening barbecues at home. 

The contemporary, bright white façade is a fitting first impression of this home. The interior is sleek and modern, while maintaining a warmth that makes for lovely family stays. The kitchen is the heart of the home, where you can gather around the breakfast bar for your morning debrief of the day’s plans, prepare lunches of pasta salads together, or tuck into a home-cooked dinner around the dining table.

While the interior is wonderfully welcoming, we imagine you’ll want to spend most of your time in the sunny garden. A high fence promises complete privacy, with the only resemblance of your ideal location being the scent of sea mist hanging in the air. From invigorating coffees on the outdoor sofa to cocktails at dusk, you’ll love spending your days here.

If you’re not in your garden, you’ll be making the most of your coastal location. Try out surfing, kite surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and more, before enjoying lunch at the seaside café. There are some dining options here in Bracklesham Bay, but you’ll find a wider selection in the nearby village of East Wittering – including a couple of great traditional pubs. 

Cockleshells

A stone’s throw away from East Wittering Beach, this beautiful home will capture beach lovers’ hearts, but with the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty minutes away, naturalists will fall in love too. Explore your surroundings on days out, stopping off in town for lunch. 

Golf enthusiasts can find Chichester Golf Course on the other end of a short drive. Practice your handicap on a stunning course whilst the rest of the family take themselves a little less seriously at Jungle Paradise Adventure Gold right next door.

Spend days at home in a leisurely fashion – we recommend a lot of lounging. Do a crossword puzzle in your own time as you nurse a cup of coffee at the breakfast counter. Dine alfresco out back and spend your days here with drinks and nibbles as the kids tire themselves out on the lawn. Stargaze at night before treating yourself to a luxurious bubble bath and retiring to one of the ultra-comfortable bedrooms.

The Cherry

If it’s a relaxing, seaside getaway that you seek, you’ve hit the jackpot here. Simply step outside of your home and find yourself in front of the glittering south coast, breathing in the fresh sea air. It doesn’t get much more coastal than this. Here, you can start your days with invigorating walks along the beach, take early swims, or simply spend time by yourself on the pebbles.

Inside, you’ll find a warm and homely interior that’s been thoughtfully designed for you to feel at ease. There are subtle nods to the seaside surroundings, taking inspiration from the natural beauty, with earthy tones, blue hues, and atmospheric artwork. Not that you need reminding – the sparkly blue sea is in full view. 

If you’re not admiring the view with a cup of coffee or curled up in the conservatory with a good book, you’ll love spending your mornings in the sunny garden. Gather around the outdoor table for a hearty breakfast, letting the morning drift into the afternoon while you unwind on the sun loungers. 

If you get itchy feet, there are plenty of ways to fill your days. When you’re not relaxing on the beach, you can find a spot for surfing, paragliding, kite surfing, and more. West Sussex is full of fun watersport activities, or you can explore Selsey and the nearby towns on land. After a fun-filled day, be sure not to miss the sun dip into the English Channel at dusk. 

Channelling the Sea

Enjoy a spectacular British beachside break at this gorgeous holiday home, based just a three-minute walk from the stunning sandy beaches of East Wittering. It’s set on a peaceful residential road, making this the ideal home for families looking for a stay by the sea. We love the open design that provides everyone with lots of space to stretch out and relax, with an extendable dining table for fish and chip feasts at lunchtime, as well as a dreamy lounge with large bi-fold doors out into the garden.

As soon as you step foot outside, you’ll be impressed by the pristine lawn that’s great for letting the kids run wild when it gets warm, and the rattan sun loungers that let you relax in the sunshine in the summer months. The hot tub is very inviting for spending serene evenings watching the stars come out while you relax in absolute bliss. 

Sand Dune Symphony

For the group that likes to spread out on the country getaways, this converted stable near the South Downs is the perfect choice. There’s two of everything: lounges with wood-burning stoves, country-style kitchens and even two separate backyards each with its own hot tub. The full outdoor kitchen under the pergola can accommodate the most elaborate of barbecues in the summer months and when the weather gets cooler you can get a fire going in the outdoor brick fireplace and huddle on the sofa. Inside, striking equestrian-themed artworks are a nod to the building’s former life as a stable and two dining tables (one in each cottage) with long benches are pure rustic country vibes. As the sun sets, it’s a choice between the circular or square hot tub, both bubbling away beneath stringed lights. Here, you’re on the edge of the South Downs National Park, and bedroom windows overlook the estate’s hay meadow for a bit of tranquillity. Yet, the shops, pubs and coffee shops of Bosham village are a fifteen-minute stroll away where you’ll find wildlife-filled walks in the Chichester Harbour Area of Natural Beauty.  

The Equestrian

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.
