About this property

Beach Front. Last Minute Availability Summer '24. 100+ 5* Reviews. Dogs Welcome!

Sea Vale has been in our family since my wife was a child. Initially it was only for our own use but since deciding to make it available for others to use we have totally renovated the house, bringing it flying into the 21st Century.

The house has a beautiful open plan living style on the ground floor flowing onto a wooden deck with the garden beyond which faces South. Every modern convenience has been thought of including under-floor heating throughout the ground floor. The decor is strictly "seaside" with plenty of little touches that leave you in no doubt that you are living on the beach.

Walk out of the garden gate onto Elmer Beach which has to be one of the quietest & most private beaches on the South coast. Elmer Beach Estate is privately owned with no public access to the beach. During peak seasons and bank holidays there is a gate at the end of the road to limit vehicle access to residents!

Fantastic house
Second stay in this wonderful beach house. Lovely and clean, comfy sofas and well equipped kitchen. Thank you for the wine to welcome us. Great information pack. A really enjoyable birthday weekend for my mother and sisters. Crosswords on the sun balcony, lunch in the garden, an early morning swim - lovely weekend.

Beautiful Beach Break
We spent the first week of the New Year at this amazing house. The house itself was perfect for our family of six. Plenty of space, fully equipped kitchen, two TVs, and loads of games/jigsaws etc. The beach was less than a minute away, and can be seen from the amazing terrace. We all walked it, and I went for a run one morning. Very dog friendly. There’s a shop and a pub within five minutes walking distance, and bigger shops about five minutes in the car. We went to eat in the Oystercatcher, ten minutes drive away (in Climping?), and also to La Cucina in Rustington. Both excellent. Overall a fantastic stay. We will be back! Thanks!

Jamie & family
Celebrating my wife’s forthcoming 60th birthday which is in January, she didn’t want a party but just wanted to be away for a few days with the family. Accommodation catered for all of us, from us oldies & our grandson who is nearly 2, even great for Tilly the dog. Such great views to the beach from the upstairs seating area off of the main bedroom, then there is the downstairs open plan kitchen/living room where everyone can interact. What more could we need, a few paces to the beach and at the end of the drive a pub & local shop. Just so comfortable for all of us, thank you Nick & Judith for sharing your holiday home and allowing us to have little piece of your heaven. Hope in the future we can return & experience it in the summer.

Sister's reunion
The property was excellent for us, as fully equipped as anyone could wish. We ran out of time to add to the visitors book. The only fly in the ointment had nothing to do with the property but access to the sea which for us was too difficult given the steep incline on the stony surface but clearly those with young children and more limber mobility were making marvellous memories, a joy to see, so for those fit enough, a perfect home and location

Absolutely lovely property by the sea
Our family of 8 and the dogs, had a delightful stay at this lovely seaside home. The property was clean throughout and has a very well stocked kitchen. The sun room with views of the sea was amazing. Plenty of room for everyone to relax and unwind. Having the beach just a few steps away from the garden was fantastic. The garden was beautiful and very secure for the dogs. Even my tiny dog couldnt escape! Would highly recommend and I hope we can stay again sometime. Thanks

Idyllic Beach Location
Immediately on arrival felt at home in a beautiful house that more than lived up to expectations, with a bottle of a bottle of wine on the table a nice touch. Great base for day trips and enjoyed The Cabin pub with a great landlord and daily fresh baked bread from the PO/local store but get there when they open.

Return stay at Sea Vale
Our second visit 6 months after our first. With a great location and views of the sea, it's a fantastic property to celebrate a special event with family of all ages, and wonderful that dogs are allowed. This time we were able to enjoy the garden as well. Cleanliness of the property was not up to scratch this time but this can easily be resolved. Looking forward to our next visit.

Great weekend away
Communication with the owner was great from the initial enquiry. The house is great and suited us as 6 adults and 1 teenager plus dog. The view from the balcony is lovely . The location is perfect. We walked to the lobster pot about 2 miles along the beach towards Bognor Regis. That’s def worth a visit. Definitely recommend!

Amazing house/location. Highly recommend
What a house! We absolutely loved our stay. The house is stunning and so clean and the decor is gorgeous. It has everything you need too - kids cutlery, plates, cot and high chair. The beach is right outside the back gate as well and so quiet. Was perfect for our dog and kids. There’s amazing places to go nearby too. The owners were also so lovely and answered any questions immediately and were always available to help!! Will definitely want to stay again.

Great place
The property was just as described, the main bedroom has a great sunroom and balcony overlooking the sea. Open plan living, dining and kitchen. The kitchen is well stocked with all you need to cook your own meal. There is a second large fridge in the utility room. Nice sized garden with decking to the rear. The beach is pebbles and areas where it is steep due to the breakers but we still had lovely walks with the dogs. Just along the coast at Bognor there are sandy beaches. Walking along the coast, there is Littlehampton in one direction and Bognor in the other, approx 3 miles from the property. In the village are 2 pubs, both good, we personally preferred the Elmer which is also the closest. The chinese in the village is fabulous. Overall the house is great, we had 3 couples and there was plenty of space to all be together but also apart. Clean and tidy. The master bedroom has the sunroom and balcony which is just lovely, as we went in December the afternoon sun in the room was really pleasant. The area is a great base to explore. Would I recommend this property - yes.

Flawless “ apart from the weather “
Property was 100% as described. Extremely well equipped. Ideal location. Welcoming neighbours which is always a plus when staying in a holiday let. The whole family ( 6 + 2 dogs ) had a wonderful three nights celebrating a 60th birthday.. the rain didn’t keep us from long walks along the beach. Good communication from the owners. 5 stars . We will book again.

Quiet, secluded beachside retreat
An excellent experience. Just what we needed for a quiet get get-together with friends. Shop 200 yds away for provisions, great chinese takeaway (ended up opting for that two nights running!), and plenty of lovely options for visits nearby (Arundel, Chihcester, Worthing....and even Bognor!). Thoroughly recommended and we will be back. One small suggestion - some all-year round patio furniture would be great (there was a table but no chairs) to enjoy the south facing garden (we were blessed with wonderful weather for October)....perhaps there was some, but we couldn't find it. However, that's no grumble, just a suggestion - a great stay, all round.

About the host

Hosted by Nick & Judith Lahey-Bean

Host profile image
My wife and I live near Guildford (our children have flown the nest and are producing grandchildren). I am a Chartered Surveyor so my professional background has always been in property and between us we manage a varied property portfolio but this is our own holiday house.

Why they chose this property

Sea Vale has been in my wife's family since she was a child. She has happy memories of childhood holidays in Elmer and we, in turn, have holidayed for many years at Sea Vale with our own children.

The beach is unbelievably quiet and unspoiled because access is through a private estate. This is a friendly community and Elmer is close to almost every facility that you could think of.

In 2012 we bit the bullet and carried out massive renovations and alterations to transform the house into a 21st Century holiday home that we are proud of. In 2015/2016 we carried out another very exciting project which added a dramatically attractive sun room and balcony at first floor level with full central heating and views out to the beach, the main bedroom has a new ensuite shower room and there's a small study facing out to the garden off the sitting room with high speed broadband. The two upstairs bedrooms have double beds and the two ground floor bedrooms have twin beds which can be put together to make doubles if you want. Our children and grandchildren now use the house often but there are plenty of times when it would be empty if we didn't make it available for others to use as well.

What makes this property unique

There are lovely walks along the beach heading either East or West. Try walking East to Climping for a pub lunch or walk West to the Lobster Pot on the beach in Felpham for brunch etc.

From the first floor sun room you can while away the hours gazing at the horizon - time evaporates up here (as does the wine in your glass!). You can enjoy the sunshine through open bi-fold doors up here even in the winter.

East Beach Cafe at Littlehampton is a very popular restaurant serving great beachside food and we have one of the best Indian restaurants in the next village who will deliver to the house.

The village post office includes a small supermarket where you'll find almost everything you could want but there is also a One Stop supermarket slightly further down the road or a full scale Sainsbury's Superstore near Littlehampton.
