Just a short walk from the beach and Paignton's Victorian pier, this charming flat has seaside escape written all over it. You're perfectly positioned to explore Torbay's vast array of beaches, coastal villages and waterfront eateries. The South West Coast Path is just a quick stroll from your front door – excellent for morning treks as the sun rises above the ocean – or, if water sports tickle your fancy, you can't go wrong with an afternoon spent paddle boarding or jet skiing. Location-wise, it ticks all our boxes for a Devon getaway. Back at home, the flat itself is a cosy place to rest your head. We love how the deep blue shades and bright pops of yellow mimic the waves and sunshine outside. Even better are the eclectic pieces of art on the walls handmade by the owner, a local landscape artist. After a day at the beach, nothing beats sprawling out on the velvet sofa with a glass of fizz and toasting your holiday – your friendly host even leaves a complimentary bottle of Prosecco for you to enjoy. For dinner, rustle up a dish using fresh seafood and dig into your meal around the table in the bay window. Later on, after a Netflix movie or two, crawl into the sumptuous bed for a good night's sleep – you’ll need all the energy you can get between the sand, sun and surf on your doorstep. Home truths: *Two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area *This is a ground-floor apartment so it may be suitable for those with limited mobility *This building has a shared entrance and a communal hallway *There's one free parking spot on-site – you'll need to park close to the wall to allow enough room for other cars, but with the South West Coast Path and the amenities in the village within walking distance, you'll do a lot of exploring on foot *Your host provides a complimentary bottle of Prosecco on arrival *Your host can also provide a travel cot and high chair for little ones, but you'll need to bring your own cot linen *If needed, the dining table can double as a laptop-friendly workspace
