About this property

RENT THE BEACH HOUSE OF TOP INTERIORS STYLIST - No 22 in Sunday Times Top 100

'Beach break' is a contemporary interior designed house in a 'shabby chic' style with mature secluded quarter acre garden a short way down a lovely quiet lane in Widemouth Bay village and just 300m walk from a stunning sandy surf beach. Mum is one of London's leading interior stylists at Elle Decoration magazine.

Dad's a bit of a geek, runs an arts education charity and is a wannabe surfer. The boys can't decide which bit they love the most, exploring the walled garden, playing in the rock pools, looking at the lobsters at the village fish shop. If you want a quirky, stylish, yet high tech holiday home from home with a contemporary beach house vibe then read on.

From the Farrow and Ball on the walls and White Company Linen on the massive beds to the well equipped kitchen, you won't be disappointed. This website is full of bland, soulless rentals with B&Q/Ikea interiors.

The wood fired pizza oven is a unique feature and a hit with everyone. Pizza really never tasted so good. Be sure to check out the photos on the external website at the link below.

PLEASE NOTE: IN Peak Season/School Holidays our preferred changeover day/letting period due to claner availability is Friday to Friday but we may be able to offer flexibility so do ask.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: #COVID19

We are really sorry that we cannot offer any refunds if guests are unable to travel for what ever reason, Covid 19 or otherwise.

We also reserve the right to cut stays short by a day or so to meet government guidelines wrt fallow periods between lettings and will not be able to offer any refund for this.

We strongly advise that you seek insurance to cover the possibility of such a loss or self insure.

These are extraordinary times and we all have to look after our own interests with health being everyone's top priority. Everything else is just money and we need our and every penny we can get to pay our mortgage to make sure we don't lose our house.

We thank you for your understanding.

About the host

Hosted by Beach Break

Host profile image
Nick has a career in internet marketing and computer stuff behind him which he put on a back burner to start a charitable initiative to get creativity into primary schools (www.steamco.org.uk) which benefits local Cornish and Devon Schools as much as it does those in Liverpool, Wigan, Sunderland and Scotland.

A maker at heart, he's pretty handy and is forever pottering around Beach Break when he's down there - whether it's building a compost heap out of left over bits of decking or laying a bit more track for the garden railway with the boys.

Unlike many second homers, Nick is keen to give back and play a part in his community ion London and Cornwall, where the family support the Bude Community Sea Pool, Beach Clean, RNLI, Life Guards, Church and local businesses and arts projects where we can and values the friendships and relationships he has made in Widemouth Bay, Bude and way beyond now down to Penzance.

Amanda is a top interiors stylist and worked at Elle Decoration for ten years overseeing the style of the magazine and various shoots on location.

If anything gets painted for Beach Break she buys a dozen tester pots, paints pieces of A4 with them and sticks them up to see what works best in the lovely light we have down there. Yes, detail is everything, unlike many rentals she doesn't leave design choices to the builders (bless 'em) or a hasty dash to a DIY warehouse!

(She'd happily help you with your project if you need any tips)

Why they chose this property

Cornwall has always been a big part of our life. As kids our respective families took us on the seemingly endless drive down the A30 on family holidays before everywhere was bypassed.

When we first met we spent many weekends camping down in Polzeath - surfing or trying to get people to play volley ball with us.

Then some friends bought a place in Bude and moved down there. We stayed with them a few times and camped locally and realised what a lovely spot it is - quick and easy to get to, great local beaches, lakes, attractions and pubs.

When we were faced with the need to move in London, with two young boys growing up, we couldn't face the stamp duty bill so invested it in our life dream - a place in Cornwall that we use as much as we can and rent to help with the monster mortgage, especially now we're running an educational charity.

What makes this property unique

We love it for the same reason we're sure you will:

Families - we have loads of stuff for children to do- sandpit, trampoline and a slide.

Foodies - we have a great range of local food and veg suppliers, a great kitchen to cook it on, a wood fired pizza oven coming soon, a local cook who can come in, local gastro pubs or Rick Stein and Jamie just down the road.

Friends - with 4 bedrooms, sleep up to 9, Beach Break is a great place for friends whether it's other families or lads weekends!

Surfers - we have a great beach a short walk away for beginners and intermediate surfers alike. On bigger days there are some pretty hard core breaks like the reef break at Millook for those that really do think they are hard enough.
