10 Ocean Point

Reached by 16 steps, this two-bedroom apartment on one floor sits directly above Saunton Sands, with a south-facing balcony spanning the full width of the living space. Floor-to-ceiling patio doors open onto the balcony, where a table and chairs let you eat outside with views across Braunton Burrows, the beach and the sea beyond. The king bedroom has its own doors to the same balcony, so the view is there from the moment you wake.

The apartment sleeps four across two bedrooms: a king-size room with an en-suite bathroom containing a bath, shower, WC and basin, plus direct balcony access, and a twin room served by the main bathroom, which is fully tiled with chrome fittings and a bath with shower over. The open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining area includes an electric oven with ceramic hob, microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge and freezer, and granite worktops. A four-seater dining table, L-shaped sofa and Smart TV with sound bar complete the living space, and underfloor heating from a ground source heat pump runs throughout.

Shared outdoor facilities are well suited to beach holidays: a communal garden has a path leading directly to the beach, along with an outdoor shower, wetsuit drying area and storage space for surfboards, bikes and beach equipment. One private parking space is included; no dogs or pets are permitted, and the property is no-smoking throughout. A highchair is available on request.

Saunton Golf Club's 36-hole championship course is approximately one mile away, and the village of Croyde, with pubs, cafes and shops, is around two miles from the apartment. Short breaks can be booked within two to eight weeks of the start date throughout the year.
