About this house rental
The Palm House is a luxury three bedroom detached house on a quiet residential private estate in the delightful seaside village of East Preston, 400m from the beach – first available for holiday rentals in 2017. Perfect for families wishing to find a ‘home-from-home’ on the Sussex coast. It is a lovely place for adults and children to relax either outside in the ample garden (with a large dining area, BBQ, grassed and patio areas for children to safely play), or in the comfortable living room which opens out to a large front patio, via sliding doors, allowing enjoyment of the sun throughout the day . The property has a gated front drive which means the whole outdoor area, surrounding the house is secure for children and dogs (although very small dogs could get under the gate!). The lounge includes a 42” flatscreen with BT TV (with BT Sport) and fast Wi-fi broadband. A log burner provides additional warmth and a cosy feel during the winter.
The house comfortably sleeps a family of up to six, with two large double rooms(one king, one super king) and a triple bunk room. It boasts a luxuriously appointed Porcelanosa bathroom with full length bath, separate power-jet shower cubicle and Bosch appliance kitchen. The kitchen has a breakfast bar area, and open plan living/dining area with convenient access to both front and rear garden /patio areas via bi-fold doors to front and patio doors to rear. The house has a comfortable ‘beach’ style feel, perfect for English summer holidays as well as being a cosy retreat in the cooler winter months. There is off-street parking for 2 cars.
The small village of East Preston is well appointed with two convenience stores, 3 pubs and excellent Chinese and Indian restaurants, as well as Fish & Chips takeaways all a short 5 minute walk away. Within a short drive are large supermarkets including Waitrose (Rustington), Asda, and Sainsbury’s.
In addition to the local village restaurants, there are highly rated traditional English pub/restaurants in Patching (World’s End), Arundel (The Rabbit), Littlehampton (East Beach Cafe), The Crabshack (Worthing), Royal Oak (Fulking) – all within 10-20 minutes drive.
East Preston is superbly located for very easy access (by car – all within 20-30 minutes drive) to many well known towns and family-friendly amenities on the beautiful Sussex coast, including neighbouring historic Arundel (castle), Littlehampton (2 miles ), Brighton , Chichester , Goodwood, Petworth, Storrington, Steyning and Upper Beeding. Bognor Regis and its family-friendly Butlins holiday complex is 20 mins away. There is a good train service offering access to London within 90 minutes.
Staying closer to ‘home’, the local beach is quiet and clean and makes a lovely place for a relaxing family day out. The walk along the beach in either direction is delightful and The Bluebird Cafe situated along the coast at Kingston Gorse is around 30 minutes walk away and is worth a visit.
We do accept bookings for less than a week, typically at 75% of the weekly cost.
Dogs - this is a lovely part of the world to walk dogs - we do accept well behaved, clean, house-trained dogs but please check with us beforehand for the 'house rules'! Note: We do also require an additional deposit for pets.

Great house, with a chilled beach vibe about 5 mins walk from nearest beach and not far from Kingston Gorse beach and the Bluebird cafe. The beach is fabulous and sandy for miles, when the tides out. Rented the house whilst we were renovating our own house and it was perfect for getting away from it all, and long walks down by the sea with the dogs. Nearby there’s a a nice local Sardinian restaurant in walking distance, plus we found the Andalusian tapas bar and restaurant in Ferring and Enzos in Worthing which would recommend! All amenities close by with good maim shopping in Rustington and local shops nearby. Thanks Sarah !

Amazing area and a nice property in a fantastic location. The trip was to celebrate my wifes 50th who was born and grew up in Worthing. Easy checkin process and a lovely property that is well maintained. Nothing disappointed us and we left the property cleaner than we found it, would recommend to anyone.

Great staycation
We have just had a lovely 2 weeks in this beautiful house close to the beach. Tastefully decorated and well laid out for families - it suited us perfectly. Only 2 minutes walk from the beach which is dog friendly. It’s a shingle beach but at low tide has fab rock pools and at mid tide is sandy enough for beach cricket and sandcastles. The sea was very warm and great fun for swimming and paddling. Sarah was lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful or quick to respond. We have had a great holiday and will be back - thank you Sarah!

A secret paradise?
This is a lovely property in an amazing, quiet and secluded position in a private estate. Even on a glorious sunny bank holiday when we stayed there were no more than 100 people on the beach and with the combination of sand, shingle and pebbles, it made for a great day at the beach in what is I believe unique coastline. All in all a privilige to be able to stay in this little oasis of calm and quiet. Loved it

Beautiful quiet location very close to private beach
The Palm House is a light airy and well equipped house in a private sea estate close to the beach. The beds and towels are sumptuously soft and comfy. It is only a few minutes walk to the private well kept sand and shingle beach. Even on one of the hottest weekends of the year it was still relatively quiet. There are several small shops in walking distance and local supermarkets will deliver.
There is a wide grassy path along most of the top of the beach which is perfect for walking. There are a couple of cafes, one in each direction which stock local ice cream and drinks.
Brighton is approx 40 minuets drive and well worth a visit. We booked parking on line through just park which was £10 for the whole day and very easy. The pavilion is amazing, don’t be fooled by the exterior! The interior is stunning. If you book tickets on line via the Brighton and Hove museum site you can skip the cues. If you book with other sites make sure you print off tickets as the won’t accept anything on your phone- the nearby library can help with this for 20p.
Littlehampton is a a pretty seaside town with a few shops and amenities.
The George at Burpham serves excellent food but you must book well in advance, local fish and chips are also good.
We had a great week with some excellent weather and loved it.

Wunderbarer Urlaub am Meer
Wir haben eine tolle Woche in dem liebevoll eingerichteten Haus verbracht. Es war alles vorhanden, eine super ausgestattete Küche und gemütliche Zimmer. Das Haus befindet sich in sehr ruhiger Lage in einer Anliegerstrasse. In der Nähe sind einige Fish& Chips Läden, Pubs und kleine Supermärkte, so dass das Auto auch mal stehen bleiben konnte. Wir haben Ausflüge nach Stonehenge, Arundel und Brighton gemacht und natürlich sind wir auch nach London gefahren (sehr gut erreichbar mit dem Zug). Es war eine ganz tolle Zeit und wir wären gern noch länger geblieben.

Beautiful house, well maintained and very clean.
Only a few minutes walk from the beach, this is a quiet property with everything you could need for a weekend away. Tasteful interiors with all the mod cons, we really recommend to anyone wanting to get away for a few days by the sea! Try the Crab Shack in Worthing.. but make sure you book a table it gets busy!

Only a few minutes from a quiet beach, this is a beautiful house, with a stylish interior and all the mod cons. We had everything we needed during our stay. This is a great spot to get away from it all only a few minutes from the seaside, and not far from Arundel and its castle and the cathedral city of Chichester. Try the Crab Shack in Worthing but make sure you book a table!

Amazing weekend!
Beautiful house in a quiet, private estate just minutes walk from the beach. Great communication from the owner beforehand. The house is of a very high standard with everything you could possibly need - stylish, clean, light, modern, spacious (very comfy beds) and it has a lovely garden with garden furniture. The kids loved the beach and there are some great local restaurants/pubs and plenty to do in the area. We will definitely go back!

A wonderful family holiday home
We had a wonderful time at the Palm House. It's spacious and tastefully decorated. The kitchen has all the appliances you need and more. The kids loved the Thomas toys and playing football in the garden. It's a very comfortable home away from home!

traumhaftes Haus (fast) direkt am Strand
The Palm ist ein wunderschönes zweistöckiges Haus, 3 Geh-Minuten vom Strand entfernt; gelegen in einem ruhigen und überwachten EFH-Quartier. Es ist mit allem ausgestattet, was eine Familie braucht (inkl. Netflix Account, NespressoMaschine und Grill). Vor dem Haus ein grosser Platz mit Steinplatten, hinter dem Haus ein Garten mit Kunstrasen, damit die Kinder "bienenfrei" spielen können. In 5 min. Autofahrt ist der Golfplatz Rustington oder der grosse Supermarkt Sainsburys zu erreichen. In dem Umgebung ist das Märchenschloss Arundel in 15 min. mit dem Auto zu erreichen, sowie Brighton, Chichester oder South Hampton sind in der Nähe. Ein perfektes Haus für den Sommerurlaub in Südengland! Wir kommen gerne wieder...

The most relaxing place I have ever stayed
If you have never been to East Preston then you really are missing out. This is a residential village close to the sea, with an unspoilt beach, property to literally die for, easy walking for miles and all the day to day shops you need close by.
The Palm House is everything you could hope for, modern quality fittings, the best bed I have ever slept in & a private garden you can always find a spot where the sun shines.
If you want a quiet, relaxing holiday this is the location for you, a short car or train journey will take you to the more cosmopolitan towns of Worthing or Brighton.
I will be staying again without doubt

Had a great week staying at The Palm House. It is very conveniently situated within a 5 minute walk of the beach and of the shops and restaurants of East Preston. The house is very comfortable with plenty of space and very nicely furnished. Great beds. Very good wifi and signal. Great having the garden space too.
A fabulous StayCation! 😀

Located in a peaceful private estate The Palm House has recently been renovated to a very high standard both inside and out. The garden and large patio were perfect for the children and for relaxing in very nice weather. The bedrooms are comfortable and the modern kitchen is of a high standard. Not that the kitchen needs to be used much for there are excellent restaurants both within walking distance or a short drive away. Information regarding these was supplied by the owners. The local Chinese and Indian restaurants are well worth a visit.
The house is less than a five minute walk to the sea down a quiet road. There is safe swimming and an excellent beach cafe can be found at the end of a pleasant stroll along the beach.
East Preston proved to be a very good base for visiting the many nearby attractions with something to keep all of us happy. We enjoyed Worthing, Arundel with its lovely castle and the old buildings at The Weald and Downlands Open Air Museum. We also enjoyed relaxing at the Palm House.
I would certainly recommend The Palm House to friends and family and indeed hope to rent it again later this year
