This charming beachfront home is composed of two restored 1880s train carriages, with the former smoking car transformed into a private bar. The quirky home, with its Hamptons-inspired design, often hosted Pink Floyd in the 60s and 70s – it’s a hidden gem with a rich history. Spend your days on the beach, making use of the paddleboards, surfboard, boogie boards, and kayak provided, before cosying up around the firepit. The garden is an oasis, with a sauna and hot tub that make relaxing a breeze. You’ll have everything you need here for a break that’s memorable for all the right reasons.
