About this cottage rental
Beautiful Grade 2 listed cottage 200 metres from the sheltered tidal Snowhill Creek at the entrance of Chichester Harbour. With the Sailing Club opposite, and a short walk to the to the famous West Wittering beach, Windsurfing Club, bird reserves and the National Trust sand dunes of East Head.
The cottage is part of a row of former Coastguard Cottages, built around 1833, with small garden to the front and a small yard to the rear. Three bedrooms comprised of double bed, two singles and smaller ground floor bedroom with bunk bed. Cottage is small and compact and perfectly formed! It is cozier than the photos indicate!
Temporary sailing club membership might be available and would require contacting the Sailing Club secretary via their web site. In addition, we have contacts with many of the local sailing instructors. Sailing is possible two to three hours either side of high tide.

We had a wonderful stay at the Coastguards. We’re regular visitors of west wittering and the location is perfect for exploring the beach and local area. A very comfortable and functional place for the family. We would have loved a bbq! The kitchen was a little dated but we spent little time in the cottage as we were out and about enjoying crabbing, beach walks, the local pub and Chichester. Thank you!

Four nights arranged around a wedding. Lovely location with great coastal walks. Dog heaven.
Great little cottage well equipped and comfortable beds.
Internet is v slow but probably inevitable being at “end of the line”. TV kept needing to buffer so take books!

Very cosy and welcoming cottage in a very quiet location. A small but well equipped kitchen. We slept like logs in the comfy beds after a lovely hot shower and fluffy towels. Definitely a home from home.

We love West Wittering beach and have been trying to find a holiday accommodation to which we can keep going back for ages and I think we finally found it! As we never leave our dog behind when we travel it needed to be a dog friendly and with good walks/beach close by. Our stay delivered on all the fronts. The cottage was beautiful and clean, bedroom had a comfortable bed, kitchen was compact but very well equipped. Perfect little front garden where we sat and soaked all the sunshine. Plenty of walks right on your doorstep, beautiful beach sunsets every evening (we were very lucky with the weather). We already booked our next stay and can't wait to be back!

Super rental, pure and simple. Freshly painted throughout and with really comfy beds and spotless bedding (how are the duvet covers so creaseless?), it's a complete getaway and on the doorstep some incredibly beautiful walks. A lot of care and attention has been given to supplying a warm welcome for a self sufficient stay. Games, books, Netflix, DVD player etc. I don't think it needs selling but the photos on the site don't really do it justice. It was a lot more roomy and solid than we had imagined and although the kitchen is well used and compact, I've never seen so much provision made for catering ... it was an absolute treasure trove and kitted out by an enthusiastic cook. Nice little secure garden for the dog but we had to heave him out the door for that bedtime visit as the daily walks were varied and so enjoyable despite pretty ghastly weather and we wore him out! We loved it thank you.

The property is so comfortable and situated in one of the most beautiful locations- a recipe for a perfect Christmas.
The kitchen is very well equipped and cooking up a roast beef Christmas dinner was no problem. There are gorgeous walks straight from the door so we hardly needed to use the cars, making this a very relaxing break.
Midnight Mass at the church four minutes away was a wonderful experience. We could hear waves crashing onto the beach from the cottage and when we were inside the church!
Overall the cottage is so comfortable, warm and cosy with decor that was so pleasing to the eye. All in all 10 out of 10 !!

Such a lovely cottage in a wonderful spot right on the coast. Everything was as described, if not better, and the whole family enjoyed our time with daily trips to the beach. Thank you. We hope to be back!

Coastguard cottage is a little gem in West Wittering!
Second year we’ve stayed here. We love it for the location. So close to the beach and shops- all within walking distance. Great for dog walks. It ticked the box for all the family and we didn’t use the car for a week!

One of our best family holidays
Coastguard cottage was an excellent find for our family of 4 and dog. We parked the car on Friday and didn’t get back into it till Thursday. The kids surfed, we walked or cycled everywhere and the surrounding countryside was idyllic. The house had everything we needed and it just felt very home away from home. We hope to come back again very soon! Thank you.

Great little cottage for a sunny summer break.
Cottage is wonderfully clean and has been repainted outside since our last visit so looks really nice. Lovely to sit outside in the morning for breakfast and a lazy early evening drink in the evening sun. Inside the kitchen is functional and the upstairs bedrooms cool and cosy. Lots of books to read and games in the cupboard and the beach is a 10min walk. On raining days there is netflicks and heaps of place nearby to explore (chitchester etc). Co-op nearby for all essentials and just eat deliver if needed. Mobile reception is poor or non existent - but the WiFi works for iPads etc. Owner is lovely and always super helpful.

Great and quiet location to get away from it all
Great way to recharge batteries after a traumatic time.
Walks along the beaches and great food nearby. Easy access to Chichester and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard/Mary Rose.
It's a shame we couldn't stay longer
