The property

Close to Shore is a charming first-floor apartment in the heart of Ilfracombe, Devon, perfect for families or friends seeking a coastal escape.

This pet-friendly retreat boasts stunning sea views from its private balcony, an airy open-plan living space, and easy access to the beach and Exmoor National Park. Step inside your seaside sanctuary to discover a bright, welcoming layout featuring a well-equipped kitchen, a dining area, and a cosy sitting space.

The designated chef can make themselves at home, storing treats in the fridge and preparing delicious meals using the electric oven and hob.

When it’s time to dine, gather around the table and set the mood with your favourite playlist.

Afterward, let the dishwasher handle the cleanup while you relax on a sofa or armchair and choose a film for the evening. Nautical touches and patio doors leading to the balcony enhance the coastal vibe.

Pour a chilled drink and unwind outdoors as the sun dips below the horizon, planning tomorrow’s adventures.

When night falls, freshen up in the shower room before retiring to one of two inviting bedrooms: a twin room adorned with coastal artwork, ideal for children or friends, and a king-size room offering direct balcony access and uninterrupted sea views. Start your morning with a fresh coffee and gaze out at the waves before heading out.

The apartment is just a short stroll from local amenities, including a welcoming pub and sandy beach.

Explore Ilfracombe Harbour, snap a photo of the striking coastal statue, savour fish and chips, indulge in ice cream or award-winning fudge, and watch the boats bobbing in the water. For family fun, visit Watermouth Castle, a Victorian gem with rides, play areas, and landscaped gardens.

Outdoor enthusiasts can lace up their boots for an adventure in Exmoor National Park, where moorland, woodland, and valleys await, along with wildlife like ponies and charming pubs for a well-earned break. Close to Shore is a delightful base overlooking the sea, offering the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure in beautiful Devon.
