This was our second stay at Lifeboat View with three generations of our family, ranging in age from 13-86 years. The house is in a great location with easy access to the town of Selsey, the beach, some local shops and a good pub.
With the eldest of our group having reduced mobility the ground floor bedrooms and bathroom and stair lift to the middle floor was a great help.
The house could benefit from a few upgrades/updates to make it first rate. These things have not been addressed in two years and were sadly an issue last time we stayed. Firstly, the internet constantly drops out, when you have a teenager with you this causes much consternation but equally if you need to work whilst away this would be near on impossible. Although some might be looking to get away from technology, in this day and age good internet availability is generally a must. The rotary washing line, which the guest information book encourages you to use to save energy, is unusable. It does not click and remain in the open position so as soon as anything is hung on it, it closes. We managed a make shift solution as we had a bungee cord in our car but otherwise it would have been useless - we reported this last time we stayed so were disappointed to find nothing had been done about it. We do appreciate at lot of people won’t do washing whilst on holiday but those with young children probably do and we like not to take everything home dirty. The shower door, in the top floor bathroom, has obviously dropped as it needed to be lifted and pulled/pushed quite hard to ensure it closed properly without a gap. The guest information needs updating as the description of how to work the televisions and location of board games, amongst other things, is not correct. This has probably changed over the years since the property was first rented out but should be updated to make it accurate.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and found the bed linen and towels to be beautifully fresh and clean and the beds comfy. The house is well equipped with everything you need whilst away from home. If the issues noted previously were addressed it would be a superb house.

Even better than photos
This was just what we needed. 6 adults, 4 children, 2 dogs and not once did we feel crowded. It's closer to the beach than it looks and there's a park with a kiosk there too. The area is very quiet and friendly. Indian takeaway was lovely and the tapas bar in town was fantastic. The property is very comfortable and homely, there have been some changes for the better since the photos. New balcony and sofa downstairs in the flat. All in all exactly the holiday we needed at a really good price. The communication from Henry Adams was also timely appropriate and helpful. Deposit returned as promised.

Superb view of the sea from the lounge & front bedrooms. Everyone had everything they could need from the youngest (3) to the oldest (70) and including the dog. Such a relaxing holiday stay with accommodation for the whole family to stay together. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a seaside retreat.
