Fabulous Beach Front Holiday Home. 4 Bedrooms for 8 Guests. 100+ 5* Reviews....
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 is right on the beach with lovely sea views and 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.

The property is excellently located for the local beach which our dogs loved. Local amenities were as you’d expect for a seaside area. The kitchen was well equipped, and the bathrooms and bedrooms were tidy.
Super house for a family gathering with easy parking for 4 cars in driveway. So close to the beach you can hear the waves. Lovely and clean and very comfortable. Secure for the dogs to run around the garden and minutes to the beach with sand at low tide. Walk to Lobster Pot for delicious coffee. Communication with Judith and Nick was excellent. The balcony space at first floor was something special.
Short stay bang on the beach. Great house with ensuites for all 4 bedrooms. Location perfect, everything you need at your finger tips.hosts were amazing and had thought of everything from cling film to dog bowls, dishwasher tablets and shower gel. Definitely recommend.
A lovely property in a perfect location.
We stayed for 3 nights while visiting friends who moved down to Sussex a few years ago.
The property is spacious and well layed out.
The view from the master bedroom is outstanding
Lovely property in a fabulous location. Sat watching the waves from the balcony for so long! Great hosts with lots of communication and recommendations before the stay and the little helpful notes throughout the house. Brilliant for large families with plenty of space and amenities.
Would definitely recommend and stay again.
The whole family had a fabulous stay. The house was fantastic and the location was second to none. We will definitely return sometime in the future. It was a very happy and smiley summer holiday for us. Thanks for the memories made :-) x
Well situated for the beach and well appointed for a family holiday.Kite flying and rock pooling, paddle boarding. Some of the window latches need servicing. We had an amazing time.
Return visit to Sea Vale as a lovely house you feel immediately at home in with everything you need.
All you have to do is arrive and enjoy!
Wine left to welcome us a much appreciated gesture and already thinking about planning our visit next year.
Great location right on the beach with plenty to keep everyone happy by the beach and exploring the surrounding area.
Beautiful, well equipped and comfortable house. Helpful, clear and friendly communication with the owner at all stages. Lovely walks on the beach. A perfect house for a weekend away with a group of friends.
A stunning house and a wonderful family weekend away. The house had everything we could possibly need and our dog absolutely loved the beach. We will definitely be returning.
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.
It was our third year in a row and we loved it. The house has a wonderful feel to it and is very well equipped. Great location with stunning views. Our two Labradors did not want to leave the dog friendly beach!
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.
We had a wonderful relaxing stay with our Scottie dog who loved the enclosed garden. The property had an amazing space upstairs where you could be inside or outside and have the views of the sea, and we loved the decor.
A lovely property close to the beach. Kitchen was well appointed, comfortable sitting room and bathrooms all nicely fitted out.
Upstairs was amazing with such lovely views even through the rain!
Great info book and contact with owner about a couple of queries was appreciated.
Wish it had been longer! So close to the sea, being able to hear and see the sea was so relaxing. Lovely house for three generations and a small dog. Just wish we could have stayed longer....
An idyllic property for the young, old and pets too with beach access for the active yet retaining a private location for those who prefer a more relaxed experience.
Excellent communication when changes in dates were required
Good amenities nearby.
Can’t wait for next year !
We had such a great time at this property. Nick was great in letting us know information and coming straight back when we asked anything. House is located on a private beach with such lovely water we spent each day at the beach. Will definitely be back
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!

About the host
Hosted by Nick & Judith Lahey-Bean
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.
