Holiday Rental Description

An idyllic escape for all the family, this waterfront home sits in the hamlet of North Sea, part of larger Southhampton, and within an easy drive of a wide selection of restaurants, boutique shops and beautiful beaches. Whether you're here for a weekend or a longer stay, you'll immediately feel relaxed in this quiet spot, surrounded by nature. There's a huge, private garden with direct access to the water and an illuminated dock, so lovers of the outdoors will be in their element. Hire a boat, or borrow the home's kayaks and paddleboard to make the most of its unique location. Inside, it's a bright and beautiful space with a truly loved and lived-in feel. Made up of two units, with a staircase joining them together, you'll find two kitchens, two living rooms, and a total of four bedrooms – plus a playroom which can act as a nursery. We loved the upper level's stunning dining area – large enough for you all to eat together, opening out to a large deck and offering panoramic views of the water (it's also where you'll find the piano if you're musically inclined). In the evenings, barbecue outdoors before lighting the fire pit and watching the stars come out one by one.
