Holiday Homes and Cottages with Sea Views in Cornwall and Devon

Many of our properties located in Cornwall and Devon benefit from being close to the sea. Waking up to the sound of the ocean in the morning is a calming way to start each day when you’re on holiday. 

Whether you choose a holiday home that’s a few paces from the sand or a clifftop property that overlooks the waves below, a mesmerising sea view adds the extra “wow” factor to any luxury staycation. 

Choose from cosy coastal cottages and sensational beachfront villas to enjoy sunny ocean views on warm days, and watch the sun disappear behind the horizon each evening. In the cooler months, a sea-view home can be great for storm-watching or enjoying the rejuvenating sea breeze.

Our sea-view holiday homes are either overlooking the beach from the clifftop or are a short stroll from the sand. Take a look at the details on the property listing to see whether the holiday home benefits from level access to the beach, or whether the beach is accessed via a coast path.

Beachfront properties are ideal for those who want to reach the shoreline within a few paces, whereas properties on the clifftop might benefit from far-reaching sea views. Depending on the style of property and its features, you could be enjoying sea-view suppers from a private balcony or listening to the waves below from a heated pool.

Our luxury holiday homes with a sea view range from properties for a family staycation on the coast, to larger ocean-view villas for bigger parties or multi-generational stays. 

With sea-view holiday homes in both Cornwall and Devon, there are plenty of options to choose from for your next family escape.

A staycation on the north coast of Cornwall or Devon is ideal for surfing, dramatic scenery and oceanfront dining. For a more relaxed pace of life in idyllic surroundings, plan a holiday on the south coast of Cornwall or Devon and enjoy pretty harbour villages, unspoilt beaches and rolling hills.

Our Concierge team can advise which family attractions are located nearby, to make the most of your stay. Families with younger children would benefit from staying at a beachfront property, with easy access to the coast, whereas larger groups might prefer a luxury villa overlooking the beach, with its own swimming pool or hot tub.

 

Many of our luxury sea-view holiday homes in Cornwall and Devon are also pet-friendly. If you’re planning a coastal getaway, with your four-legged friend in tow, a sea-view holiday home could be a great option.

Staying near the sea is perfect for a dog-friendly holiday, with miles of coastal path to explore and long stretches of sand to run around on. Our Concierge team can recommend which beaches are dog-friendly at different times of the year, or suggest restaurants, pubs and attractions that welcome dogs. 

Relax on your private outdoor balcony or in the sea-view living space each evening, with your canine companion by your side. Our pet-friendly holiday homes with sea views provide the perfect setting for a coastal break. 

A coastal getaway is wonderful at any time of year. Our properties with sea views are available year-round, so you can embrace Cornwall and Devon during any of the beautiful seasons.

Stay in the summer for warm, balmy days at the beach and embrace lighter evenings for barbequing and outdoor dining. Visiting in March or April is perfect for enjoying spring flowers: woodland paths lit up with bluebells, sub-tropical gardens and colourful hedgerows. Spring can also be a great time for beach days without the crowds. 

In autumn, the sea temperature is at its warmest, making it the perfect time for surfing and other watersports. Autumn sunsets can be the most spectacular of the year, and, as the evenings are drawing in, it’s a great time for stargazing. The winter months are ideal for bracing beach walks and harbourside hot chocolates. Christmas breaks are perfect for embracing the enchanting festive lights in pretty harbour villages, whilst our luxury holiday homes for New Year are great for enjoying fireworks, fancy dress and celebrations on the coast. 

Many of our sea-view holiday homes also have a hot tub, creating the ultimate setting for a luxury break. Spend your days surfing, sunbathing or walking the coast path, then return to your holiday home and sink into your private hot tub.

Some of our coastal properties have sea views from the hot tub itself, whereas others are best enjoyed from a balcony or sociable living space.

Whether you’re enjoying the beautiful surroundings from a sea-view hot tub or estuary-view terrace, the calming shades of turquoise and blue are perfect for a restful break. 
 

Unwind in complete luxury during your next multi-generational stay or group celebration. Many of our larger properties have fabulous coastal views of ocean waves, calming harbourfronts or pretty estuaries. 

Get everyone together for a celebratory meal with a sea view and savour drinks on the balcony as the evening sun disappears. Our large group properties are perfect for taking holiday photographs with a stunning ocean backdrop. 
Choose from large beachfront villas, eco-minded homes that are a stone’s throw from the sand, and magnificent clifftop abodes for your next large group staycation. 

Each property is unique in terms of its layout and outlook. Many holiday homes have large open-plan living spaces on the first floor to take advantage of the views; therefore, the bedrooms may be tucked away on the ground floor.

Often, the master bedroom takes full advantage of the property’s location, with sea views from a private balcony or large window. Some properties have sea views from most rooms, but this varies between each individual property. 

Whether enjoying breakfast al fresco on the ocean-view balcony, admiring the waves from your private pool or hot tub, or watching the sun go down over the sea from the beachside dining space, our sea-view holiday homes offer plenty of opportunities to take in breath-taking views.

The beachfront properties and sea-view holiday homes in our collection are all within close proximity to the sea. The properties vary in distance from the beach, for example, a beachfront home may not have a view of the sea but could still be a few paces from the sand.

Meanwhile, a sea-view property could be tucked away on a clifftop, overlooking the beach or ocean, but could be a slightly longer jaunt from the shore.

Some of the properties in our portfolio are just a stone’s throw from the beach, and also benefit from sea views, whereas others are a very short stroll from the sand, but are enveloped in greenery, offering seclusion without the sea view.

When choosing your perfect holiday home in Cornwall or Devon, there are a multitude of options, depending on requirements and preferences. Parties with young children or those who require accessibility might prefer to choose a property that’s just a few paces from the beach, whereas those wanting more privacy might opt for a more secluded clifftop location.

We also recommend considering which area of Cornwall or Devon you’d like to stay in. For example, those wanting to surf might choose to browse properties on the north coast, whereas those wanting peace and tranquillity might be more suited to the south coast. It’s worth researching the area before you book and asking our Concierge team about restaurants and attractions in the local area.

In our extensive property portfolio, there are many different types of properties with different features, depending on your requirements. Dog owners can browse our pet-friendly holiday homes and bigger groups can take a look at our properties for large groups. Many of our properties also have stand-out features, such as swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas or wood burners, as well as a stunning sea view, so there’s plenty of inspiration for your next staycation.
