Serene Sands

well equipped kitchen. Sea view. comfortable beds.

lounge furnishing sparse and a little short in comfort in our view but appreciate the positives.

Amazing Sea Views! Easy Access To Beach! Clean & Cosy Town House! Free Off Street Parking! Nice Clean Bathrooms! 3 Toilets! Very Comfy Beds & Furniture! Complimentary welcome basket. Lovely garden space with astro turf and no pets and no smoking! Clear instructions for everything from directions to wifi settings! Lots of space with games, books and movies to watch but we spent most time out of the property. Ideal place to get away for a few days as it has everything you need for that 'need a break' feeling!

The Host Was Very Good Dealing With My One Complaint - My Family Still Enjoyed The Time Away!

A lovely comfortable house, with super views of the sea. Excellent location for four friends to spend a few days together.

Nothing to dislike.

- Great location - nothing can beat those sea views! So close to everything too and that promenade walk was so lovely - Good bedrooms, comfy beds, plenty of storage and finally someplace that actually had enough hangers for us all! - Good decorative order throughout the inside of the property - Good wifi - Good selection of DVDs and indoor board games to keep kids entertained - Good kitchen appliances (toaster, kettle, oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine) - Good communication with host before and during trip - Easy parking - Good recommendations by host - Landguard fort was great, nature reserve was lovely, Ruby's cafe was yum, the sea front gardens were nice, the kids loved the arcade, the Orwell river boat trip was lovely and Colchester zoo was amazing - Nice little touches by the hosts/ managers which we noticed - little shampoo and shower gels, hand soap and toilet rolls, foil, salt, pepper, other basics including tea and lavazza coffee, the sea themed paintings everywhere were very apt - Nice things we discovered very nearby - the "kitchen" has lovely food, cakes and coffee, the Waffle Shack on beach street is amazing as is the vegan restaurant and the smoke house

- The dining table and chairs filled the kitchen area. With 5 of us sitting there was barely room for one to get things out of cupboards or oven without bumping into chairs at the back - We entered from the back after parking our car. The entrance was a bit disappointing, two very sad and dead dried up plant pots, artificial grass and balcony furniture that is very dated. Back entrance needs TLC - Cleanliness was good, but some attention to detail could have made it better (upstairs bathroom had some mould, the juliet balcony railing were very dusty and full of cobwebs) - The plates and mugs felt randomly put together. Not enough mugs for the 5 of us as we are big on tea and coffee drinking!
