About this property
Sea Urchins beach house - a beach house that sleeps 5 guests in 2 bedrooms
Living area
Enter through the side door into the hallway with coat and shoe storage and open plan living space. There's a well-equipped kitchen with tall fridge-freezer, electric convection oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher and washer-dryer, and a dining table with seating for 5. In the front living area, you'll find a new smart TV, sofa-chaise, and tub armchair. There are bifold doors onto the front deck.
Bedrooms and bathrooms
The main bedroom at the rear of the house has a kingsize bed with quality medium/firm mattress and new ensuite shower room. It is also fitted with a new smart TV. The second bedroom has new zip and link beds (twin, or king on request) with medium/firm mattresses. This too has a smart TV. This room has an ensuite shower room with jack-and-jill doors from the hallway too. If there are 5 guests, we also have a sofa-bed in the living room (optional extra).
Outside
The front deck has a cube table and chairs, and gets the morning sun, ideal for alfresco breakfast or morning coffee. The children can also play on the communal lawns at the rear of the neighbouring houses. We leave lots of toys and equipment in the store box near the side door.
Parking
The house has a driveway with space for 2 cars.
Heating
The house has gas central heating, electric towel rails in the bathrooms, and a log burner too. We do not supply logs.
Accessibility
The driveway/path sleepers can be uneven and slippery when wet and therefore this property may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues.
Other things to note
Free BT fibre wifi. The Property has lots of extras like a tassimo coffee machine, children's cutlery, clothes rack, iron and ironing board, hairdryer, first aid kit, lots of games (adults, families & kids) and beach equipment. Table tennis equipment and boules are also provided for use at the on site facilities. A travel cot and high chair are also available.

About the host
Hosted by Paula Foster
We are Paula and Tim Foster. We live in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. We bought this holiday home in spring 2014 for both our personal use for regular holidays with our 3 school age children and as an investment property.
We stayed in an apartment on The Bay development in summer 2013 after hearing good things about it from friends who had stayed there previously. On our last day, we visited the sales office, and had a tour of their beach house show home, and the rest, they say, is history!
We bought our beach house off plan, and chose the location as it was really convenient to the resort centre (1-2 mins walk) but on a quiet cul-de-sac with lots of communal green space for the children to play out on.

Why they chose this property
We were introduced to the resort of Filey around 7 years ago and we have holidayed there nearly every year since.
The beach is excellent - clean, sandy and not too crowded. We have spent many happy days building sandcastles, paddling in the sea and playing beach cricket. The town of Filey has a variety of small shops and cafés, and glen gardens park is excellent for children. We like the fact you can walk easily from one end of Filey to the other, down to the harbour to watch the fishing boats and play in the arcades, or up into the country park to get some great views.
We have our favourite places to visit - Sewerby Hall (with a small zoo), Bempton cliffs RSPB, Flamborough, Scarborough and Whitby (including the steam railway to Pickering). All within a short drive.

What makes this property unique
"Sea Urchins" beach house is really close to the resort centre, so it's really easy to go for a quick dip in the pool, pick up a pizza from the cafe or go for a drink in the pub, all 2 mins walk.
There are only a few beach houses on the site, and they really are special. The bifold doors open up fully to let that sea breeze in. The pitch of the roof gives a lot of ceiling height in all the rooms, which are all decorated and furnished in the New England style.
The kitchen contains a large fridgefreezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer, so everything you could need.
We have left a selection of beach toys, toys, jigsaws, books and DVDs for our guests to use.
The house has the additional benefit of a large outside store, which means more space for you inside the house, and lots you can borrow from us whilst you are staying.
