Luxury Seafront Family Home | Hot Tub | Dog Friendly | Causeway Coast Road

Stunning Seafront Holiday Home on the Causeway Coast

Set directly on the shoreline along the iconic Causeway Coast Road, this newly renovated four-bedroom detached holiday home offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and uninterrupted sea views.

Surrounded by two acres of private grounds, the property is ideal for families and groups looking to relax, explore, and spend quality time together. There is ample space for outdoor games, exercising the dog, or simply enjoying the fresh coastal air. From the garden, gated access leads directly onto a pebble beach, creating a truly special seaside setting. Due to open access to the beach and sea, children and pets should be supervised at all times.

Overlooking the Irish Sea, the house enjoys breathtaking views across to Scotland, with Ailsa Craig visible on clear days. Wildlife sightings are frequent and memorable — seals, dolphins, porpoises, and a wide variety of birdlife are often spotted directly in front of the property, sometimes from the comfort of the lounge armchair. You’ll be hard pressed to pull yourself away from the picture window.

Perfectly positioned for exploring the Causeway Coast, the property sits on one of the most scenic driving routes in the world, with easy access to beaches, castles, walking trails, golf courses, and famous filming locations.

The room features a widescreen Smart TV with a full Sky Q package, including Sports, Movies and HD, alongside a feature fireplace housing a double-aspect multi-fuel burner — perfect for cosy evenings in.

Off the living room is a newly renovated games room, ideal for fun-filled evenings with friends and family. This space includes a pool table, dart board, arcade machine, bar seating area, and a Smart TV with a full Sky Q package, including Sports, Movies and HD, so you won’t miss a thing while still enjoying stunning sea views.

To the right of the entrance hall is the spacious, well-equipped kitchen, complete with underfloor heating and modern appliances, including an American fridge freezer with ice and filtered water supply, range cooker with gas hob and electric ovens, dishwasher, washing machine, and a breakfast bar with seating.

Leading through from the kitchen is a large dining room with ample space for eight guests. At the far end is a relaxed seating area that enjoys sun, garden, and sea views. A door leads out onto a second patio with seating and onward to the garden and beach beyond. Here you’ll find an Arctic hut with central BBQ, furnished with throws and reindeer hides — a fantastic space for gathering on cooler evenings or enjoying time together.

This is the second time that we have stayed in this house and it hasn't disappointed on either visit!The proximity to the sea was the initial attraction but the field for the dogs sold it for us! The interior finishing was mostly OK and the layout is perfect for families as you can all be together or, if required, its easy to get a bit of privacy Our family (all adults) loved it - as did the dog!

Absolutely, positively the most dreamiest property for our sweet family of five. A huge lawn lent way to a baseball game and the ocean was a beautiful way to wake up every morning. A short drive to Belfast or higher up the coast made it a perfect spot to unwind

Fantastic coastal break

We had an amazing stay at Portree to celebrate my 60th birthday. The house is fantastic - so comfortable, cozy and spacious. The added bonus of the hot tub, Nordic BBQ hut and games room makes this the perfect place for a get together with family and friends. Thanks so much - I can’t wait to come back sometime!

Idyllic Portree

Portree is simply beautiful, ideally situated on the beach in stunning, well maintained grounds. The house has simply everything needed for guests large or small, including four legged friends. Never have we come across a doggy welcome pack and purpose built dog shower!Daniel, our host communicated with us pre, during and post visit and was very responsive.We would not hesitate to recommend Portree to anyone wishing to relax in a stunning location in a luxury home. We would love to return one day. Thank you Daniel.

About the host

Hosted by Daniel Taylor

Host profile image
We are Taylor Holiday Lets, a local family run holiday let business, and we personally manage and care for every property we host. Being hands on means we know each home inside out and can make sure it is always well prepared for your stay.

We live locally and love the Peak District and surrounding areas. We enjoy helping guests make the most of their time here, whether that is recommending great walks, places to eat or family friendly days out. Our focus is on creating relaxed, comfortable stays where guests feel well looked after, without anything feeling over managed or impersonal.

We take pride in offering well maintained homes, clear communication and a friendly, responsive approach from booking through to check out.

Why they chose this property

We chose this area after stumbling across the property while travelling the Causeway Coastal Route as tourists ourselves. We instantly fell in love with the setting, the sea views and the feeling of being right on the coast. When we discovered the property was for sale, it felt like one of those moments that was meant to be, and the rest is history.

After buying the house, we undertook a full renovation to create a comfortable and welcoming place that makes the most of its incredible location. We spend a lot of time at the property ourselves and know it inside out. We also have a local team on hand to help with any guest requests or assistance during your stay. What we enjoy most is how special the area feels every time we return, with dramatic coastal scenery, changing light and a real sense of escape that makes it easy to relax and enjoy being by the sea.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property unique is its seafront setting combined with the care and attention that has gone into creating it. We discovered the house while travelling the Causeway Coastal Route and later carried out a full renovation to make the most of its incredible position by the sea.

The house offers uninterrupted sea views and a constantly changing outlook. Seals, dolphins and even whales are regularly seen offshore, along with a wide variety of bird life. Fishing trawlers, cruise ships and occasional military vessels passing by all add to the character and charm of the location, making every day feel different. We spend a lot of time at the property ourselves and have a local team on hand for any guest requests or assistance, helping to ensure every stay feels well looked after.

Rather than feeling like a standard holiday let, it feels like a well loved coastal home, offering space, comfort and a genuinely special setting that guests tend to remember long after they leave.
