ABOUT SEA-GLIMPSE For ten years, our guests have chosen Sea-Glimpse for its laidback, easy, home-from-home comfort and superb, peaceful location on a private road in the heart of Old Hunstanton village, just moments from the beach. Designed for easy living, which complements its flowing, open-plan style, Sea-Glimpse’s high ceilings contribute to its airy, spacious feel; cool and calm in summer, cosy and warm in winter. The ground floor, single storey accommodation makes the apartment particularly suitable for young legs, as well as the less mobile, and its solid floors throughout are ideal for sandy feet and paws.
Whether staying for a short break or fortnight’s holiday, we have thoughtfully equipped Sea-Glimpse with everything you might need, with the emphasis on quality and comfort. The eclectic furnishings (restored vintage and contemporary classics) and original coastal artworks are set against a colour pallet inspired by hues from the local area. There are essential luxuries too, from the super-comfy beds, fine bed linen, soft, fluffy towels, plentiful cushions, blankets and rugs to the Neals Yard shower gel and a fabulous Nespresso coffee machine with milk frother.
ON THE DOORSTEP Sea-Glimpse is the ideal base for a wonderful coastal break for all the family, far enough away from the coast road to be peaceful, yet just a three minute walk to the village shop/deli (local produce, freshly-baked bread and morning croissants), and a choice of pubs and restaurants; traditional Caley Hall, Michelin-starred The Neptune, The Lodge gastropub, and the real ales and classic bar meals of The Ancient Mariner. A particular highlight on Friday evenings is the visit of the Bordoli mobile wood-fired pizza kitchen.
The stunning sands, beach huts (including gorgeous Sandy Bottom, available solely to Sea-Glimpse’s guests), rock pools and marram grass-tufted dunes of Old Hunstanton beach are just 500-yards away. It has the shortest walk-in of any beach along this stretch of coast, is dog-friendly all-year-round. Perfect for paddling, picnics, building sandcastles, kite flying, beach cricket, or just a barefoot stroll, sand between your toes and lungfuls of sea air. It is also a popular playground for wind and kite surfers and occasional horse riders. However, it never feels busy and you can always find your own secluded spot. The RNLI Lifeboat Station is at the entrance to Old Hunstanton beach. You can watch the crew training on most Sunday mornings, and visitors are welcome. Opposite you'll find another gastronomic treat, the award-winning Old Town Beach Café. A must for a delicious breakfast, lunch, or tea and homemade cake. It also has an extensive, delicious vegan menu. Close by are The Le Strange Old Barns, Antique, Arts and Craft Centre and Strandline, a wonderful local, handmade gift shop, both essential for a spot of treasure hunting. A five-minute walk away from Sea-Glimpse is the renowned Hunstanton 18-hole championship links golf course. Golfers have the choice of another excellent links course, The Royal West Norfolk, just 15 minutes along the coast at Brancaster.
HOUNDS ON HOLIDAY We are very fortunate, as we are situated in a very dog-friendly area. Most of the beaches allow dogs, although some have summer restrictions. The majority of pubs and cafés welcome pooches, some even have a specific doggie menu! We welcome two well-behaved pets, but please note Sea-Glimpse’s grounds are not enclosed if you have wanderers.

Lovely flat. Close to beach. Strange name when there was no sight of sea from any window!! Garden not enclosed for dog. No heating available for drying clothes after use of washing machine. Received email too late about how to put on towel rail. Couldn't always get a signal to ring anyone. Very comfortable and well equipped.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 August 2024
We pride ourselves on excellent communication and rapport with our guests and always welcome feedback.
When Elizabeth emailed to ask about line dancing classes near Old Hunstanton prior to her stay, I was only too happy to provide Google’s search results. Subsequently, I was pleased receive an email asking to extend her stay, as she was having such a lovely time with great weather.
I always endeavour to reply as soon as possible and in particular mid-stay (within 25 minutes on this occasion).
We email all our guests before their break with an apartment guide, which details what’s provided to assist with packing.
In addition the apartment file contains step-by-step instructions of how to use the appliances and where to find its equipment and amenities.
Sea-Glimpse has both a washer/dryer and fold-out clothes driers for air drying in the sun.
The apartment also benefits from full gas central heating, which is set to off in high summer, unless specifically requested pre-stay.
However, clear instructions are provided to enable guests to use it, if required.
We do state in the VRBO listing, under ‘Hounds On Holiday’ the apartment’s grounds are not enclosed.
The Norfolk coast’s mobile signal is unfortunately patchy, although O2 is pretty good now. Sea-Glimpse has full fibre high speed broadband making internet/Whatsapp/ Messenger calls possible, as well as messaging.
Finally, I’m pleased to confirm the glimpse of the sea from one of the living room windows is still very much there!
About the host
Hosted by Gail Parker
As the owner and manager of Sea-Glimpse and Sandy-Nook holiday apartments, I deal with everything from corresponding with you and managing the booking process, to preparing the apartment for you, as well as the cleaning and laundry. I prefer to take a hands-on, personal approach to ensure you receive the best experience. My aim is to help you have the holiday you want, and to hopefully exceed your expectations.
Why they chose this property
The Norfolk coast played an integral part in my childhood, providing the setting for wonderful memories of fantastic times with family and friends, particularly at Old Hunstanton beach. At the risk of sounding cheesey, one of our primary motives in letting Sea-Glimpse is to enable others to have a super holiday and leave with similarly precious memories to last a lifetime. The pace of life here is slower, easy and relaxed, and Sea-Glimpse is the perfect setting to help you unwind. We first fell in love with its fantastic location, and the feel of the place – calm, spacious, light and airy. The glimpse of the sea sealed it!
What makes this property unique
Sea-Glimpse is part of a 1930s Art Deco house conversion. Situated on a quiet, private road, only approx. 500 yards from the beach and yet within an easy 3-minute walk to restaurants, pubs, shops etc.
