About this house rental

The Beach House sits at the furthest point on West Beach, Selsey in West Sussex and looks directly out to the sea and the Isle of Wight.

Its unique position, with uninterrupted sea views, gives the most amazing sunsets, and for those up early enough the most amazing sunrises too. With West Sussex officially the sunniest spot in the UK according to the Met Office, with 1,902 hours of sunshine every year you will have many opportunities to enjoy them as you soak in the hot tub, swim in the pool, or just relax on the terrace.

Selsey is easily accessible and a great meeting place for people coming for many locations. It is only between 90 to 120 minutes drive from London.

The Beach house consists of the main house and separate annex making it a wonderful venue for any sort of gathering; a perfect getaway for both winter and summer holidays and celebrations. It has a total of six double bedrooms and one single bedroom along with two bathrooms and three shower rooms, two kitchens, a games room, and a utility room. One double and one single bedroom and shower room are located on the ground floor of the main house. The bedroom in the annex has a double bed, a double sofa bed and a single sofa bed. Two large cots with mattresses, kept in the main house master bedroom, are available free of charge but there is a small charge for bedding and linen.

The hot tub and swimming pool are in the large patio styled garden which is secured on three sides by a six-foot wall with a side door that leads directly to the beach via steps or a slipway. The pool is approx 1.4m depth and the width and length at the widest and longest points are 5m and 8m.

The hot tub can be heated up to 40 degrees year-round whilst the pool which looks over the sea is heated via an air source pump. As the heat is drawn from the surroundings the temperature will vary according to the ambient temperature. It will continue heating to about 26°C to 28°C but when it is cold it takes longer to heat up and cools down faster so in cooler months this temperature may never be achieved. As a general rule the pump will heat the pool to about 10°C higher than the surrounding temperature in the Spring, when the ground is cold and 12°C higher by the Autumn when the surrounding ground has been warmed over the summer months. It is available for use anytime but is only heated from mid - April to mid - October.

By mid-April the weather will be between about 8-12 °C so should heat the pool to about 18 - 22 °C. Apparently, the minimum for comfort of lap swimmers is about 22 °C and David Lloyd clubs heat their pools to this temperature.

There is also plenty to do in the house; it has a games room with a pool table, darts and football table. We also have Netflix, Sky Cinema , Sky Sport, BT Sport, Kids and all other sky channels and of course wifi.

There are two kitchens one in the main house and one in the annex. In the main house there is an Aga and a large american style fridge freezers and an under counter fridge in the annex kitchen. Additionally in the annex games room there is another large American style fridge and an undercounter freezer meaning there is ample space to cater for a large group.

The front door is wide enough for a wheel chair and just has a shallow step of about 10cm. The driveway is pebbled so not particularly easy to manoeuvre a wheelchair and although their is a downstairs shower in the mainhouse it would not accommodate a wheelchair. In the annex there is a downstairs bathroom; slightly larger but it would still be difficult to accommodate a wheelchair.

There is a double bedroom on the ground floor and the double bed in that room could be taken out and put in the single bedroom, and the single bed in the single room could be put in the double room; this way there would be space for the wheelchair in the bedroom. It would mean though that the single room could not be used.

We realise this is far from ideal and we are planning to renovate the property in the next couple of years and will make sure it is designed so that a wheelchair user can move around independently on the ground floor, with self access to either a shower room or a bath and able to easily bring a wheelchair into the bedroom

The number of cars that can be parked rather depends on their size, but you see from the aeriel view on Photo 37 that there is plenty of space to park on the driveway area and there is also plenty of space outside the house. The driveway also benefits from a Tesla electric car charging point.

Well trained and well-groomed pets are also accepted in the uncarpeted areas of the house. In consideration of future guests, we request that dogs be kept on a leash at all times whilst in the gardens to ensure that they do not mark territory.

The fee shown is for one pet only. If you would like to bring more that one please contact us when booking..

Over a weekend the minimum is usually three nights and an additional night's booking is required for each bank holiday day. Check-in and check-out can be any weekday except when it is a bank holiday or during the summer holidays (from late July until early September) when check in and check outs can be either a Monday or a Friday.. Winter holidays are usually a minimum of five days unless pre-arranged for a shorter period.

Book three weekend nights from January to March and up to one night is free of charge (only an amount up to the lowest priced nights will be discounted if there is a difference in the prices of the available nights). Please note the free night is not available for school or bank holidays and is in addition to the minimum requirement, not as part of the requirement and is subject to availability at the time of booking (ie that there is an unbooked day available). Email at the time of booking to arrange.

The house itself which sits on West Beach Selsey, West Sussex has direct views to the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth. It was built on the footprint of an old fisherman’s Cottage using locally sourced and reclaimed materials so retains a quaint and characterful charm.

It is in the thriving village of Selsey with a population of about 12,000 residents and is home to one of the last remaining fishing fleets on the south coast. It is widely accepted that Selsey has some of the best seafood in the world and local pubs and restaurants are happy to promote their local suppliers. Being rich in wildlife makes it a popular place for photographers looking to take snaps of rare birds and sea life such as seals.

Selsey offers many activities for all the family from a private cinema, leisure centre, mountain biking, as well as fishing trips; only 9 miles away in Chichester there is the famous cathedral, shopping, theatres, and Roman remains, Goodwood house with racing and Weald and Downland living museum.

Great place to stay with a group of adults or a large family gathering. Plenty of room to sleep 13 comfortably, with great spaces to relax, eat and swim. Plenty of spaces to park including electric car charger. Host was incredibly helpful, and accommodating. Even managed to help us out with an early check in and late check out which was really helpful. Couldn’t recommend a better place to stay

We as a family of 13, ranging from ages 84 - 10 months, chose this house as it met everyone’s needs. My elderly grandad was able to have a beautiful bedroom on the ground floor near a shower room and the kitchen, where he could then sit and watch the hustle and bustle. We have a 12 yo autistic child so we stayed in the studio apartment above the garage to allow them their space which worked perfectly with its own kitchen and bathroom. The rest of the family then had beautifully spacious bedrooms with stunning views of the sea. It met everyone’s expectations and more. The games room was very popular for the teens and adults, as was the hot tub. The lounge offered enough space for children to play and the switch was an added bonus. Plenty of secure parking, well equipped kitchen, we couldn’t think of a sign thing missing throughout. Our only downside was the weather the first few days and the pool not heating up as it’s heated by the air outside but that was Mother Nature who no one can control. We are hoping to return next year for another family getaway. Thank you!

This house was perfect for hosting a hen party. Great size for our party of 13. We set up karoke, used the lovely big dining table for dinners and craft activities and were lucky with the weather to use the hot tub and very briefly the pool. Would love to stay here again.

Great property for family gathering. Had issue with Garage/games room door. Fob stopped working and we had to get housekeeper to come and get it . Only access to games room was through garage door , so when inside the only way out was to open electric garage door . Felt anxious about family being inside especially after the door failure. The kitchen could be a bit better equipped. Shortage of roasting/ baking tins. The can opener did not work so we bought a new one. Only one wooden spoon and no serving spoon without drain holes. Could do with a few more dish cloths. Annex - kitchen was not equipped at all. So had to take cups spoons etc from main house to make tea/coffee. There was no cover on pool? No firefighters or matches to light wood burner. So we had to buy. Little things but thought you might like to know. Beds and bed linen very comfortable. Family really enjoyed hot tub once it had reached temperature . Great location for walks 9.30 very early to vacate as I had to strip all the beds and Follow departure instructions. No time for breakfast!
