A really rare retreat offering spectacular views of Brighton & Hove seafront, beach and cityscape from the long private sun terrace, bedroom, living room and kitchen. Centrally located on the desirable seafront road and in the middle of the main stretch of Brighton beach (although Google maps seems not to show this), it's ideal for escaping it all, beach life, restaurants, shopping and nightlife. Don't waste your money on taxi's, stay central, it really does add up. Perfect for a romantic or celebratory break for two. All this and yet a quiet oasis of calm. Why come to Brighton and not see the sea. ** We also have a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom property should you require an additional bedroom and bathroom which also has stunning sea views and roof terraces - please check out the property on this website by searching for Property ID 8787786.

The perfect getaway for two adults with or without children. We unfortunately are not permitted to rent out to more than 2 adults (plus with up to two children).

This beautiful apartment on the top floor of this English Heritage grade 2 listed, rare Modernist / Art Deco building, was one of the first specifically designed penthouses ever in the UK.

Offering a comfortable feel throughout, the apartment boasts a large private sun terrace in which you can enjoy extensive direct sea views and the beach front of Brighton from every room. It's so chilled sitting and chatting enjoying the view. Whether the sun is out or not I love to start the day sitting on the sun terrace/balcony with a coffee or tea in hand and watch the sea crash against the beach, the sky ever changing and the people of Brighton going about their morning plans. At the other end of the day, a favourite is drinking a few cocktails just as the sun goes down and the lights of Brighton begin to illuminate.

Annual gas safety certificates checked and awarded and copies available. Fully built in fire alarm system throughout the building, inspected and tested weekly. All furniture with the highest standard fire safety marks. This, all in a building that has been around since the art deco / modernist period!! Well maybe, that's why it's still showing itself off on the seafront of Brighton and protected by English Heritage!

Onsite parking, at very reasonable rates, maybe available. Please let me know and I can check with the parking space owner and book for you. Otherwise on street parking is directly outside on the seafront and also being near both a further bookable parking company and an underground secure gated car park within 2 minutes walk at reasonable rates, your car won't be an issue if you aren't able to arrive by train.

The bandstand on the sea front, close to the apartment is always entertaining, whether it be a wedding, a theatre production rehearsal, bands playing, dance practice, or just visitors checking it out. Hours of people watching fun!

Perfectly and centrally located on the sea front, in the middle of the Brighton and Hove beach. On the doorstep to all that Brighton & Hove has to offer, fantastic restaurants, bars, shopping, theatres. Therefore no need for longs walks or taxis to get around town!The station is only 20 mins walk or 5 mins in a taxi.

Entering Embassy Court you will use the electronic key fob to access the building, providing complete security. You will take the lift to the top floor. Entering the apartment you will see the long corridor leading down to the sitting room. On your left is the compact shower room, with a double sized rain shower. Just what you need to get you ready for the excitement ahead. On your right is the spacious bedroom, with a wall of windows, affording panoramic views, not only of the seafront but also over the city, with its sparkling lights at night. I hope you get the wow effect as we do, it really is a great view especially when the sun is out to play. Luxurious bedding tops a luxury, top end, handmade mattress to give you a great nights sleep. A dressing area with wardrobes, giving plenty of space, for whatever you may bring. For those having to combine some work with their pleasure, this area is suitable to work from, with a desk and SuperFast Wi-Fi internet, although the view down the seafront can be a little distracting. Continuing down the hall, the next room on your left, is the stylish kitchen, yes it's not palatial but perfectly suited to create a feast for four, with wood surfaces, white high gloss cabinets and amazing views west over Hove seafront. All the equipment you need is provided and for coffee lovers the Nespresso coffee machine is a delight! Finally you reach the sitting room, giving ample space for dining, relaxing, having fun! The sofa converts to a comfortable king size bed, even when out, it leaves plenty of room to move around. Doors open out onto the long sun terrace, and the views. It spans the full length of the apartment, it really is special - but don't let this stop you from exploring Brighton and Hove.

The apartment is directly on the seafront, cross the road and you are on the beach, 2 minutes walk will take you to outdoor table tennis, excellent restaurants of different price bands, seafront children's play area with its sizeable splash pool, where they can play safely, 24hr convenience shops, cafes and several pubs, yes within 2 minutes, many within 1 minute. A full sized Waitrose and smaller Co-op supermarkets are within 3 mins walk.

Brighton is commonly known as London-by-the-Sea. Situated on the South coast of England, this bohemian resort town is so diverse. It came into fashion around 1780 when a local doctor, Richard Russell, prescribed sea bathing as a health tonic. With the Prince of Wales as his patron, London society quickly headed to the coast. Architect John Nash designed the Royal Pavilion for the Prince who later became King George IV. This fabulously ornate building has a wonderful Oriental influence with its onion-shaped towers. Later in the early 30's, Wells Coat designed and built Embassy Court, check it out on Wikipedia because this is where you will be staying.

Brighton has a long wonderful promenade, which this apartment is in the middle of and pier with a crazy mix of fun fair and bars. The antique shops along The Lanes of Brighton, when it was little more than a village over 800 years ago. The pubs and restaurants in this area are full of character as they are throughout Brighton. The North Laine is another wonderful area of the town and when the village started to expand, this is where it expanded first over 750 years ago. It now has delightful boutiques and cafés, and occasionally some street entertainment. The well known Komedia Club is situated here, which is famous for its comedy, live music and cabaret acts. Brighton and Hove is filled with stunning Victorian buildings with exceptional buildings along the seafront of Hove. Turn right out of the apartment building and all along the front here the buildings can only impress from a time gone by.

There is a plethora of museums, theatres, and of course the famous Brighton Festival throughout May each year showcasing some of Brighton's best! Brighton's buzz is on full show throughout. Check out the Brighton Festival website describing it as an annual celebration of music, theatre, dance, circus, art, film, literature, debate, outdoor and family events - taking place in venues both familiar and unusual across Brighton & Hove for four weeks every May. There are also some museums in Brighton including the Booth Museum of Natural History and, appropriately, the National Museum of Penny Slot Machines if you are so inclined.

Last but certainly not least is the UK's largest LGBT+ event, Brighton Pride which seems to bring the entire city out onto the streets, gay, straight and everyone in between, with events, street parties, The Parade, culminating in a massive outdoor party in the park. This is an event that should not be missed. Brighton and Hove gay pride is usually held over the first weekend of August but it's really a week long event.

This was a lovely apartment. Nice layout and nicely appointed. The outdoor terrace was lovely—though we were only able to use it a little due to windy conditions. Good location in Brighton and easy to get to local sites (like the Seven Sisters). Host was very responsive and helpful.

In LOVE with Brighton
My daughter and I spent a week in this beautiful flat while visiting from the US to look at the universities in the area. James met us at the property and showed us around and stayed to share his thoughts about dining, sightseeing, his experiences in Brighton and most importantly going to school here! The view is amazing and the flat is very nice and accessible to all of the things to do and see in the area. We will be back and plan to stay here every time!

My wife, daughter and I loved our stay here. James was the perfect host, with everything explained carefully and in detail in advance of our stay, and invaluable local knowledge shared with us upon arrival. The apartment was stunning and spotless. The balcony was ideal for watching the sun come up over coffee, and watching sea swimmers and dog walkers over cocktails in the evening. We will be back!

Great Views and location
First impression of the building was that it could do with some TLC but after seeing all the information around the building of its history we realised that it is an iconic building that work has started on to smarten up the appearance of the facade. The apartment itself is light and airy with amazing views. The one downside we found was the sofa was not very comfortable. When renting an apartment we like a home from home to relax in the evenings or if the weather isn’t good and did not find it met our needs for this. Overall we had a great stay and the hosts were very accommodating, offering early check in and late check out when available, which was a bonus. The apartment is centrally located within a short walk of the centre of Brighton and the quieter area of Hove in the other direction. Highly recommended.

Brighton break
We had a superb break in Brighton at this beautiful property with a gorgeous view of the sea and the old pier. The location is fantastic, close enough to be part of everything but just enough distance away for peace and quiet and to feel like a local. James could not have been a nicer or more attentive host, and his recommendations for places to go or eat were amazing. We would not hesitate to recommend this lovely flat or its fabulous host to anyone. Five minutes sat on the balcony with a glass of wine and the world will melt away. Thank you, James. We'll be back!

Our 3rd visit to Brighton and this time the weather was certainly in our favour allowing us to take full advantage of the spacious Terrance and lovely beach just over the road. The property was spacious, well furnished and very clean. The owner, James, welcomed us and gave us confidence that he was just a phone call away if we had any problems- which we didn’t .
