In a perfect location behind Croyde sand dunes and on the beach footpath, you can see the ocean between the dunes and hear the waves in the garden. Through the garden gate, away from roads and traffic, it’s a level traffic-free few minutes walk to the beach or to the village centre with its surf shops, pubs and restaurants. Endless Summer Beach House was built in 2016 on a quiet private road of beach chalets and was designed with surf and beach-loving groups in mind. A haven where family and friends can meet to enjoy the beach and surf, and make lasting memories. The layout comfortably accommodates self-catering groups of up to 10 people. Large or extended families will enjoy being so near the beach within beautiful surroundings behind the sand dunes in Croyde. MAIN LIVING ROOM The focal living space is a large, bright open plan space with large glass picture windows to make the most of the afternoon sun and sea view. A large triple-aspect living room fitted with large sofas and footstools, with two sets of French doors leading out onto the garden with views to the dunes and sea. For entertainment there is a large flat screen TV with satellite channels, DVD player with a selection of films and Bluetooth HiFi system.
