Introduction:Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish space.Elmer is a secret gem of the South Coast, boasting a sandy beach, crystal clear water and 8 sea pools perfect for swimming and paddle boarding.The flat is a 30 second walk to the beach! There are also many wonderful country walks. Elmer is also incredibly quiet, I fell in love with the village on my first visit. The flat has been recently refurbished. Supermarkets are 10 min drive away for all amenities. Come experience the magic of Elmer!***I have only recently added my property to Vrbo, hence only a couple reviews as yet, however, my property is also listed on one of the other popular holiday let platforms, where I have lots of reviews***The Space:Welcome to the wonderfully peaceful and picturesque coastal village of Elmer! An English seaside paradise, complete with its eight salt water pools and sandy beach. Whether as a romantic getaway...or special occasion...maybe a chance to relax and unwind...a business trip...or simply a change of scenery to working from home, Elmer is absolutely perfect! Whilst Elmer, along with the neighbouring villages of Middleton-on-Sea, Clymping and Felpham feel wonderfully quiet and remote. In reality, you are in fact only around a ten minute drive from the four diverse and substantially sized towns of Arundel, Chichester, Bognor Regis and Littlehampton. Chichester is in fact the county's capital and Arundel is beautifully quaint town brimming with history, including a cathedral, river and quite possibly one of the country's best-kept castles, definitely worth a visit. The apartment has recently been fully refurbished and has a spacious, modern, stylish yet beachy feel, whilst still feeling homely. I have called the property Goldeneye, named after Ian Fleming's beach side house in Jamaica, the author of the James Bond books.Maybe start the day with a quick sea swim, followed by short walk back to the apartment for a nice hearty breakfast and freshly brewed coffee. Then out for a long ramble in the countryside or along the beach taking in the sunshine and fresh sea air, stopping by one of the lovely local pubs for lunch. Then, after a relaxing shower, either snuggling in on the sofa for a movie, or maybe an evening drink out on the patio or perhaps a visit to The Cabin for some live music, or maybe even to the local chippy for some fish and chips on the beach, could it get any more British! There is "superfast fibre" WiFi, so whether catching up on your emails or streaming movies, the Internet should be plenty fast enough. Dogs are welcome, in fact the area is great for dog walking. The apartment incudes two dog bowls, a dog towel and jar of treats to make sure your pooches also feel welcome too! There are also several dog friendly pubs located nearby. Bedroom - comes equipped with a double wardrobe, desk, hair dryer and Bluetooth speaker for unwinding to your favourite playlist of tunes.Bathroom - features a huge shower, perfect for after those long country walks or day at the beach!Kitchen - includes a washing machine, iron / ironing board, fridge / freezer, blender, oven, microwave, hob, kettle, toaster and all cooking utensils, pots and pans.Lounge - includes a 42" smart TV and very comfortable sofa, perfect for a movie night or Netflix binge!The apartment has central heating, so keeps nice and cosy during those cold winter months. There is a communal patio area where you can enjoy relaxing in the warmer months, in the morning with your freshly brewed coffee and in the evening with a cheeky glass of wine (or two!).
