  • Third-floor apartment within Eastbourne's marina complex
  • Relax on the wraparound balcony with views out to sea
  • Just a few minutes’ walk to the beach, and a short drive to Eastbourne town centre
Property code: EHC14

Discover this coastal gem within the town’s Sovereign Harbour development, just moments from one of Eastbourne’s wide shingle beaches. With a leisure complex literally on the doorstep, families and small groups could not be better placed to enjoy the town’s most popular amenities, while nature lovers will love exploring the nearby South Downs National Park.

Spectacular sea views can be enjoyed from almost every angle in the comfortable, light-filled living space, thanks to large windows and patio doors letting the outside in. A lift brings guests up to this third-floor apartment and after a day of excitement and adventure - or simply a relaxing few hours on the beach - unwind with a chilled glass of wine (or squash for the kids!) as you watch the glorious sunset from your private wraparound balcony. If you can tear your eyes from the view, the lounge area offers a bright and homely place to put your feet up, where you can snuggle on the sofa in front of the TV/DVD.

Make the most of Sovereign Harbour’s extensive facilities, with a number of restaurants and bars alleviating the need for a debate on who should do the dishes while you’re away. With your night-time activities covered, spend your days on the water enjoying the many water sports available here, from stand-up paddleboarding to kayaking and sailing. For those that prefer staying on dry land, walk the 2-mile route along the esplanade to Eastbourne’s main beach where you will also find the Victorian pier. There are also ample walking trails in the South Downs, including the walk up to Beachy Head’s dramatic vantage point (5.5 miles).

Apartment was well situated with a lovely view from the balcony. Unfortunately it is need of some improvements as there was no welcome pack, no blind in the second bedroom, and a number of kitchen utensils had the remains of the previous tenants meals.

I have stayed in a number of cottages but this was the first one with no welcome pack - some milk would have been appreciated especially arriving after 4 on a Sunday and on a bank holiday weekend. Or, if that is too much to ask, then at least a map of the local area showing where the shops are located - the Coop seemed to have the better opening hoRead moreurs. Access to free view television channels also seemed very restricted. Hide

This cottage has lots of potential. While the view is fabulous, the carpets are dirty, the beds & sofas very uncomfortable, the YouView not working and lights are out in every room bar the ensuite. With just a bit more care this could be an excellent holiday apartment. The apartment is near the harbour which is lovely for walks in the evening.

Lovely flat, nice flat walk along the seafront to Eastbourne town (about 2 miles) but restaurants also nearby. Such a quiet location to stay in. Perfect sea view from the balcony.

Property not cleaned on arrival. Beds very uncomfortable. Blind in bedroom broken and fell off when I touched it. Repaired, but unable to use it as no winding mechanism plus stuck up with filler so didn't trust it not to fall off again. Chair on balcony broken. Not removed/repaired despite me reading a review from ages ago that mentioned it. InformRead moreation folder out of date (badly). Agents very good, sorted problems but they shouldn't have arisen. Lovely location/ view, needs owner's attention Hide
