About this property

Sea Front Luxury Beach House, Panoramic Views, Direct Beach access, West Sussex

Welcome to the perfect beach life vacation.

Seascape is in a Front-line Beach location, with an unspoilt beautiful beach on the property and large grassed garden leading to the beach. This stunning and authentic detached cedar wood constructed Beach House has upscale luxury with all modern amenities and direct beach access from the house, gardens, deck and overlooking the English South Coast towards the Isle of Wight and Brighton.
This unique Beach house is perfect for quality time, Special Celebrations and memories with family or friends. Situated on eclectic East Beach Selsey and close to Pagham nature reserve, Chichester, Goodwood Estate & Racing and the Witterings, the Beach House has an ideal location on the West Sussex coast for many an occasion, walking, local diving, boating and fishing as well as family fun by an un-spoilt beach.

This stunning property was designed on a typical New England East Coast USA upscale Beach house with open mezzanine gallery and has all the character and charm of one. It is carefully built from Cedar wood and Selsey red brick throughout, and also boasts an open log fire, along with a large wrap around garden with BBQ and raised sea facing wood deck with direct gate access leading straight to the beach via a private garden with walkway that touches the Beach path. The long deck has sun loungers and seating for enjoying the stunning ocean views, beautiful sunrises and striking sun sets. The ocean view never looks the same and has to be experienced. With the cedar timber structure, you’ll hear the waves crashing , smell the ocean air and listen to the sounds of the sea as you sleep.

Completely and sympathetically refurbished in 2018 with fully equipped new open plan kitchen including 6 hob gas range, twin electric oven/grill and overhead extractor, large integrated refrigerator/freezer, integrated dishwasher, Belfast sink, toaster, microwave, filter coffee machine, Nespresso machine and breakfast bar with large dining table that seats 10 comfortably overlooking the deck & Ocean.

The lounge sits adjacent to the kitchen and dining area making the Beach House perfect for relaxing vacations away with family or friends , and the windows extend the full length of the property allowing views of the ocean along the whole front of the Beach House , lounge, dining and kitchen level. There is an led smart TV , and a selection of board games , and dvd's for those night times when the stunning beach front location tires you out.

There are 4 bedrooms ( 1 super-king/twin with sofa bed, 1 super-king/twin with bunks and folding partition doors, bunks suitable for small children only, 1 large super-king/twin and 1 double ) two with sea views, two with garden views, 1 cloakroom, 3 contemporary new bathrooms, all 3 with walk in thermostatic controlled showers & 1 with a large corner bath, all have modern vanities, de-mist mirrors with shaver sockets and lights and are fully tiled. The cloakroom has toilet and sink vanity unit.

A separate utility room has washer, drier, iron and board plus hair dryer.

The Beach house has unique wall art and pottery collected in person from around the world and oozes character, there is nothing like this for true relaxing beach life with all the modern amenities. Seascape feels like a luxury home rather than beach rental.
It is situated on the characterful and eclectic East Beach side of Selsey Beach overlooking the Isle of Wight to the right and Brighton to the left, a quiet pebble beach famous for fishing, clean waters and just enjoying true beach life and Beachcombing with friends and family. It boasts a mile long level seafront that is populated with a mix of individual homes that range from million pound super contemporary houses and unique beach house cabins made up of vintage railway carriages, it is also close to RSPB Pagham Harbour and Medmerry nature reserves, The Witterings and the beautiful city of Chichester. There are beautiful walks close by, a Seafront pub, crab shacks and a parade of shops which includes Bakery, Grocery store ,Fish n Chips, Indian take away, Dive shop, Hairdressers and Fruit n Veg, whilst the centre of Selsey is a short drive and has all local amenities including individual merchants.

Favourite local dining venues include upscale dining at the Crab & Lobster in rookery lane Sidlesham, The Lamb at West Wittering, The rustic Crown & Anchor at Dell Quay and trendy Billy's on the Beach at Brackelsham Bay.

"Selsey is one of those places that time forgot. It has some of the cleanest water running through the English Channel because so much tide washes through twice a day. It's the most southerly part of Sussex, and just lovely." Whilst we love doggies, we accept smallish ones and ask that they are not permitted on soft furnishings , or the carpeted bedrooms.

Inside, the house is beautiful with lots of interesting artwork - and a strategically placed mirror! It felt like home and had the comfiest beds and fluffy towels. I really cannot fault anything, we loved it and hope to return in the future!

Fantastic beach side escape

I would absolutely recommend this gorgeous beachfront house, it had everything we could have possibly needed for a family group ranging from 2 years to 82 years. We swam in the crystal clear sea every single day and had lovely walks along the sea front. Sitting in the lounge, dining area with direct views out over the sea was incredible. Kevin was extremely helpful, and answered all of my questions very promptly. We will be back im sure!

Birthday treat

A lovely cedar built home on three levels, the property had everything we needed and was perfect for our multi-generational stay. The East Beach area is quiet but characterful and small local shops and larger supermarket about 15 minutes walk/5 minutes drive in each direction were convenient. We visited Arundel, Chichester and smaller local villages and seaside towns and had a couple of wonderful meals locally. We have booked to return next year.

Awesome beach house.

The property was perfect for our family, 2 couples, 1 adult and 1 child. Everyone had their own space. 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 downstairs. We particularly enjoyed the view from the master suite and the main floor living area. We cooked in the unit 2 nights. Cookware and dishes were plentiful. One night we got fresh crabs from Julie’s and made crab cakes... The fireplace was a great bonus! Kevin was very responsive to all of our questions. I highly recommend this house!

Beautiful House, Beautiful Location, Proffessional Caring Hosts

A well designed property with all necessities catered for including an efficient heating system which was essential during winter. We were welcomed by a Christmas decorated and lit house and a delicious Chocolate Gift which set the tone for a really memorable reunion with our family from the States. Even when the weather was a tad dreary, the panoramic vista of the ocean and walks along the beach, were delightful and inspiring. We thoroughly enjoyed the local restaurants and excursions around Chichester and its magnificent Gothic Norman Cathedral and cobbled streets. The Five Stars we awarded were totally justified by our experience and we absolutely recommend Seascape without reservation. Thank you Kevin and Ash for helping us to make wonderful memories.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin & Subhash

Host profile image
Local to the South Coast, This is a dream beach house loved, maintained and used by the family throughout the year. We have an eye for detail and have created an US East Coast style experience after 10 years of living in California. The house has not been designed as a bland rental with no character, but a stylish home with all mod cons, and unique artwork collected from our world travels.

Why they chose this property

The unique cedar wood construction and American style layout was love at first sight. Walking up the stairs and being greeted by the ocean view just sold it. The fresh ambiance and smell of a cedar wood built structure adds to the benefits of healthy living. The Beach House front garden leads you directly onto the beaches of West Sussex and this particular beach is peaceful and natural. Being close to major Motorways, Airports and city's like Chichester, Brighton, Portsmouth and Southampton is an added bonus. Seascape is ideal for Corporate, Couples and Family retreats by the sea. To the North lies the South Downs National Park which is recognised as a dark sky park.

What makes this property unique

Healthy and relaxing Beach Life staying in a cedar wood upscale beach home, with direct access to scenic beaches, a seafront pub within walking distance along the beach, and beautiful countryside and nature reserve close by.
The Beachouse resembles an east coast Cape Cod style home filled with art and unique features from worldwide travels making this place much more than your normal beige holiday rental.
The layout of the house is American style on three levels , with the social areas mid level overlooking the sea add to the whole experience for families and close friends whilst giving privacy with none of the bedrooms next to others. Simply unique beach living whereby you can literally walk from the front garden to the stunning pebble beach and clean waters of the sea. This is a true Beach House experience
