About this property

Contemporary Beach Lodge With Sand Dunes And River Views

River behind, sea to the front and adjoining a nature paradise. Beachside is superbly located for all nature and seaside pursuits. A large secure shed is provided for additional storage for bicycles and any other equipment that you might decide to bring.

Bright and airy in the summer months, warm and toasty in the winter. Superbly located as a get-away in the winter months and an ideal jumping-off point to explore the North Norfolk Coast.

Beachside is ideal for families or couples that want to get away to the coast. The beach is about 40 paces away directly accessible over the private beach road opposite.

The front patio gets the sun most of the day and is great for watching the sun set over the dunes. Walk 40 paces and watch it set over the sea. Stunning.

Heacham has much to offer including pubs, restaurants, indoor play activities for children to name but a few. There is a handy cafe at the top of South Beach Road too, great if you don't fancy cooking a Full English yourself!

The Farmer Fred's Play Barn is a great indoor play adventure for children, which is extremely handy when the weather isn't playing ball! The food here is also surprisingly good.

The pick of the pubs in Heacham is probably The West Norfolk. You will need to book your Sunday lunch if you don't want to be disappointed.

There are local shops for groceries including a Tesco Express and superstores within 4 miles at Hunstanton. By foot the Jennings shop, up the road, has most of the essentials and many non-essentials well covered.

Get your groceries delivered direct from Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Ocado and save room on packing.

Get takeaway curries, fish and chips, kebabs, pizzas etc delivered when you fancy too!

Whilst Beachside is located in a very peaceful location, it is still very well served with local facilities.

Excellent parking at the front for a couple of cars too.

ELECTRIC CARS:
Due to insurance purposes, guests must never charge their car using a standard outdoor plug or an extension cable linking to a domestic plug. This is not permitted because of fire regulations regarding wiring, earthing rods and voltage restrictions; it poses a serious fire risk to standard 13 amp sockets and there is a real danger that the body of the vehicle could become live. There is no EV Charging point at the property and if you have an EV, you will need to charge it elsewhere. Use of electricity to charge cars is not included in the rental price.

A magical holiday!

My sister travelled 5,000 miles from Canada and brought various members of the family, to share a holiday together. In total we had a party of 10, and having the two properties together was ideal.Our age range was 2-70,and it was ideal. A very peaceful location, lots of lovely walks

What a gem!

A fabulous stay in a lovely property. The owners were helpful and communication was swift and easy. The property is exactly as described. I was lucky with the weather so maximised on my opportunity to walk the stunning coastal paths in North Norfolk. The property is a perfect base to return to. It was very quiet (other than the glorious birdsong!) and felt like a home from home. I will return.

Beautiful escape

The hosts were great with contact from start to finish. We arrived to find a cake and some milk, which was a thoughtful touch, and they checked in with us to make sure we had found the place too. The location is perfect; really close to the beach but also there's a river at the back of the lodge where you can sit on a swing and watch the birds for hours. My daughter loved it and loved feeding the birds too. The place was spotless. Beds were so comfy too. We will hopefully be back!

A wonderful return visit to Beachside

We spent a few days at Beachside over new year 2021/2, and loved it so much that we decided to do the same in 2022/3! The cabin is beautifully presented, immaculately clean - and very cosy for a winter break. It's wonderful having the beach right on your doorstep, with Snettisham nature reserve one way, and Hunstanton the other. David was very helpful and welcoming in communications as before. We can't recommend this property highly enough!

Break away for my mum.

Splendid little lodge. Good heater’s, perfect for the terrible weather we unfortunately had. We could turn them up when the gale was blowing and the hail came, then down again when the sun did decide to show. We still had a lovely time and managed some bird watching by the river and talking to the ducks! The beach was great, we even got a good sunset one evening. The lodge had everything we needed and felt spacious in the main room. David was very helpful with the booking as we are not good with computers.

A break away by the sea, North Norfolk

The property was perfect! Just as described but sort of better, everything was great quality and worked without issue. As with every new place you stay it may take a couple of moments to work something out and at those moments, David, the owner was always really quick to answer any queries. The chalet was perfectly located with just one large sand dune between you and the sea. When the sun shone in the afternoons you could have the double French doors open (sea facing), the sun would reach you on the sofa and you could hear the waves lapping. Heacham beach is currently marked as being a polluted beach ~ one of only 2 across the eastern region coast. It was a bit sad to have to avoid swimming there but beaches just around the corner have the blue flag. And, it’s important that people widely put pressure on peers that be to stop polluting the waterways ~ so it made me feel ironically more attached to Heacham beach. And despite the rating of water quality the wildlife here is immense, birdwatchers paradise as the long beach when the tide is out is filled with a huge array of sea birds. Overall brilliant. The sea is glorious here, with dramatic tides, phenomenal sunrises and sunsets. The beach is a beach combers heaven too with pools and shells and stones and sand. David, the host, couldn’t have been more helpful and the chalet was beautiful. I will certainly book again if they’ll have me :)

An absolutely wonderful location. The beach was about 30 seconds away from the door which we visited every evening to watch the sunset.. It was peaceful and so relaxing.The beach lodge was clean and the decore was modern and not over the top. The beds were comfortable and the pillows clean and fresh. Great sized shower too.The little welcome touches were much appreciated, such as some sachets of tea, coffee, sugar and fresh milk in the fridge. Not forgetting the delicious cookies. Great comunication with the host who was very accommodating. My family and I couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. We wanted to stay longer. We will definitely be booking another stay there.

Extremely well located

Beachside is extremely well located in a lovely part of Norfolk. Bus service is extremely good, frequent departures to most areas. Abundant wildlife, saw a seal the on edge of the sea at South Beach. Great walk to Hunstanton along beach. The road servicing Beachside is in a poor condition, difficult access unless driving an SUV or four wheel drive. This was our fifth stay at Beachside over a four year period. .

Beachside Heacham

I stayed for a week with my 12 year old twins and my 11 year old son. The weather for the first part of the week was amazing and we enjoyed the easy and close location to the beach. The beach house itself was well appointed and had everything we needed for a mini break. David the owner was very helpful and I’d recommend the house to anyone wanting a cozy family house near the beach.

About the host

Hosted by David Johnson

Host profile image
We are a young family and purchased the The Old Barn, Holme, in 2006. We carried out a completed refurbishment and modernisation and continue to make little changes here and there every year. We live near Stamford and travel regularly to The Old Barn to escape work and immerse ourselves in the sheer beauty of all that the North Norfolk coast has to offer.

In 2007 we also bought two properties next to the beach at South Beach, Heacham. We thought these would be perfect for our children to grow up around and play by the beach in the traditional way.

Why they chose this property

Beachside is a perfect base from which to enjoy beach activities. A fabulous vantage point to watch the sun rise over the grazing fields and snettisham woods, through to setting over the sand dunes. Surrounded by nature and an amazingly tranquil location.

Great for families or couples all year round.
