Self-Contained Ground-Floor Coastguard Cottage with Sea Views, Two Minutes from Elie's Harbour Beach | Sleeps 4



Set just a couple of minutes' walk from the harbour beach and the famous Ship Inn, this self-contained lower cottage forms the ground floor of one of the original detached coastguard houses — a charming coastal base with lovely sea views from the front windows. Newly repainted outside with fresh double-glazed windows (2023), it's a relaxed, no-fuss hideaway that puts you right by the water.



Two bedrooms make the cottage a great choice for families or friends, sleeping up to 4 guests.



The Space



Inside, there's plenty of space to drop bags and kick off sandy shoes in the sizeable porch, which is also ideal for storing wet-weather gear, golf clubs and beach kit. The bright living room has comfy modern sofas (new covers in 2023), a 32" Smart TV and a gas coal fire for cosy evenings in, along with a neat pull-out dining table for shared meals.



While there's no private garden, you do have an exterior bench at the front — perfect for watching the light change over the water — and with the beach just moments away, the shoreline effectively becomes your extended back garden.
