The Details

Escape to the Devon coast in unforgettable style at Coastguards, a luxurious beach house perched just above the sands of Bigbury-on-Sea. With breathtaking panoramic views across the sea to Burgh Island and direct access to the beach just steps away, this is a place where the rhythm of the tides sets the pace for your stay and every day begins with salty air and endless horizons.

Designed for relaxed coastal living, the house sleeps up to eight guests across four beautifully styled double bedrooms, making it ideal for family holidays, group getaways or celebratory stays by the sea. The master bedroom is a true retreat, complete with a sleek ensuite shower room and doors opening onto a private courtyard where a hot tub awaits. Here, you can sink into warm bubbles after a beach day and watch the light shift across the water.

At the heart of the house, the open-plan kitchen and dining space is made for gathering. Bi-folding doors open seamlessly onto the enclosed front garden and sundeck, blurring the line between inside and out. Fire up the gas BBQ for alfresco suppers, linger over long lunches or simply sit back with a coffee as the waves roll in below.

Interiors strike the perfect balance between modern elegance and laid-back beach house charm. Natural light floods through expansive windows, soft neutral tones echo the surrounding sands and sea, and thoughtful details throughout make it easy to truly unwind. This is a house designed to be lived in slowly, whether you’re sharing stories around the table or curling up after a blustery coastal walk.

Beyond the front door, Bigbury-on-Sea is one of South Devon’s most iconic settings. Stroll along the beach to Burgh Island, explore its historic hotel once favoured by Agatha Christie, or spend your days surfing, paddle boarding or kite surfing with lifeguarded waters during peak season. Bantham and Challaborough are close by, while Modbury, Kingsbridge, Salcombe and Dartmouth make tempting day trips. With coastal walks, a stunning golf course and golden sands on tap, Coastguards promises a restorative seaside escape at any time of year.
