Perched on the shores of Saunton Sands, this luxurious apartment is an absolute winner if seaside adventures are on your holiday to-do list. Here, days start and end on the balcony, watching the ebb and flow of the tide and breathing in the refreshing salty air. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee or sharing a bottle of wine at sundown, it'll be hard to find a better spot to recharge and relax – or better views. Even inside, the expansive windows allow you to take in the scenery, and the breezy layout makes socialising a dream. We love the kitchen, in particular – glossy and sleek, it comes stocked with culinary gear home chefs will need, be it a wine fridge or Nespresso machine. Plus, this apartment has all the bells and whistles you could ask for – including a sleek rainfall shower, toasty underfloor heating and a lavish rolltop bath in the main suite. Add in the on-site surfboard and wetsuit storage, communal outdoor shower and private parking, and it's no wonder we're head over heels. And the location? Pretty hard to beat. Saunton Sands beach is mere steps from your door, as is the South West Coastal Path for morning treks along the seaside. Golfers can practice their swing at Saunton Golf Club, while the pubs and shops in Braunton are just a five-minute drive away.
