You’d be forgiven for mistaking this bright apartment in the heart of Whitby for a Malibu beach bungalow. With its laid-back minimalist aesthetic, rattan ornaments, neutral palette, light wood floors and white panelling, there’s an unmistakable coastal vibe to this comfortable, modern home. The living room’s large sectional sofa is perfectly placed to gaze out over Whitby’s rooftops from the trio of windows, while the bedrooms upstairs – tucked beneath the building’s eaves – boast vistas of hilltop St Mary’s Church from their charming skylights. When you’re not soaking up the beach vibes at home, go out and sink your toes in the sand at Whitby Beach, a seven-minute walk away. You’re also just a five-minute walk from the town’s famous 199 Steps, while countless shops and fish and chips restaurants wait to be discovered right outside your door.

About Whitby
Famously the setting of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, there’s something hauntingly beautiful about Whitby. The ruins of Whitby Abbey, set atop a windy hill overlooking the town, are just like a scene from a gothic novel. When the sun sets, ghost tours amble through the cobbled streets, revealing the town’s dramatic history. By day it’s all idyllic fishing village vibes, with a hint of Victorian holidays.
