A recently built contemporary house, Sea Shanty is a laidback treasure on a quiet private road only 100 metres from the beach.

A spiral staircase adds impact to the double-height ground floor open plan living area. This beautifully presented and sociable space includes a large and luxurious corner sofa, a wide screen TV and a wood burner stove. The kitchen area is an equally high standard of design and the owner leaves a well-stocked wine rack which we ask guests to replenish as used. Natural light floods in through the living area's bifold doors, the velux ceiling windows, and porthole-styled round windows.

The bifold doors concertina wide open onto a full width deck area with generous exterior table and chairs, and the enclosed garden beyond is laid to lawn.

Sea Shanty has three bedrooms. One twin bedroom, and one double bedroom with rainshower ensuite are on the ground floor, and a separate family bathroom with freestanding bath is downstairs too. The spiral staircase leads to the upstairs bedroom under the angled eave space which has its own washroom with WC.

We are sorry but no pets.
No smoking.

Excellent but some limitations

Lovely light spacious house in good location. Suspect would be too hot in heatwave as no blinds or shade. WIFI can barely cope with one computer and dipped in and out.

The only downside was the bed in the master bedroom. Sharp corners on frame and kept bruising legs. Very low and flimsy mattress. TV unnecessary - would rather have had extra space for a luggage stand ! Sadly the uncomfortable bed alone would stop us booking again.

Great location, easy access to the beach and local amenities. Cleanliness was disappointing - flies on the window ledges, years of dust on the kitchen cabinet which you look at every time you walk down the spiral staircase. The floors clearly hadn’t been swept or hoovered sufficiently. Baileys immediately sent an agent and offered to rectify cleanliness and took note of a few damaged items. Overall we had a great time and would return however unsure it offers value for money.

Positives:
Great location.
Good open plan layout.
Good size for 6 people.
Lovely garden.
Adequate facilities.

Areas of improvement:
Front door very awkward to open, sticking and needs adjusting.
All interior door handles loose.
Cleanliness.
Damaged Velux remote screen.
No BBQ area.
No garden sun loungers.
Replace downstairs mattress (feels like a waterbed)
Downstairs white wooden floor really scratched and scuffed.
A place to hang wetsuits outside.

The house is in a great location, less than 1 minute walk to the beach and 10 min walk to the shops and restaurants in East Wittering, and the same to Bracklesham Bay. The house is well equipped with everything we needed including a beach trolley. The cabin in the garden is great, as provides a separate space for the kids to play or adults to chill out. The only downside of the house is the restricted height in the upstairs bedroom, OK if you are 5ft but would be tricky if you were nearer 6ft.

We loved the feeling of space in Sea Shanty which was well equipped with top quality items and very comfortable. Each room had it's own T.V. (5 in all) and included a new outside Games Room ( not shown in current pictures) This had a large T.V. and fridge with a table football game and games console to keep every one happy. The beds were very comfortable with plenty of storage in the rooms. Parking in front of the cottage. It was an easy walk (10mins) into the village which had 2 fishmongers, 2 butchers and 2 great greengrocers apart from several coffee shops and fish and chip shops in the locality.
We visited Bosham and would recommend the Anchor Bleu pub and restaurant which served great food and was reasonably priced.
We had mixed weather during our week's stay but there was plenty to see in the area

In many years of renting holiday properties Sea Shanty has to be one of the best equiped , best maintained , light and airy , and well located close to the beach….which is sandy other that around hightide. The cabin in the garden with tv settee and football table is a great addition. The area is quiet with East Wittering shops etc within walking distance.

A very nice place in a brillant location. Very responsive agents in sorting out the only issue with the house alarm. Very spacious and high quality accommodation. Nice garden for eating and relaxing in. 100m from beach and close to East Wittering shops made Sea Shanty an ideal location. Would definitely stay there again.

Nice property in good location. However the cleanliness of the property was not great. Considering COVID-19 is still virulent we were disappointed with the standard of cleaning. The risk assessment sent to us was clearly not adhered to.
We found the dishwasher didn’t work properly and had to wash everything by hand as they were not being sterilised, the heater element did not heat up.
Food had been left in a cupboard by previous tenants and one freezer drawer was so iced up we could not open it. The bottom freezer drawer was full of frozen food so again unusable, that left us with one drawer only. All problems reported to agent, who offered re cleaning but we declined this as it would have caused further disruption and infection risk.
Not usually complainers but felt it necessary on this occasion given the current health situation.

Areas To Improve
The main front door locking mechanism : awkward routine to lock
The interior door handles : loose
The BBQ unit : teeny & thus not viable
The lack of any outdoor sun lounges / easy chairs
The information about rubbish collection timetable : black bin v red bin; and what & when the occupier is expect do

At £1700 for x1 week on the West Sussex coast, one expects near-perfection.
