Overview
Property code: 82959

The perfect family home for a holiday in Torquay, situated in a brilliant spot to explore South Devon’s superb walks and Torbay's wonderful beaches.

A holiday by the seaside wouldn’t be right without little ones and four-pawed family members by your side. Embark on a beach-filled holiday to Torquay and settle in at this charming abode where there are plenty of handy spaces including a utility room and garage – great for sandy adventurers. Walk the South West Coast Path and visit family-friendly attractions close to home before making yourself comfortable in the inviting living space.

The open-plan-living style is great for families and for keeping an eye on the antics of cheeky younger guests. Perfectly positioned around the electric fire, sofas and chairs welcome you to melt down in this light space whilst those with tufty ears curl up on the rug. Little ones will be kept entertained on the games console and you can all enjoy al fresco meals and titbits on the wraparound, raised, decked terrace reached by steps. Get cooking in the brilliantly bright kitchen where there are spaces to chop, slice and lay out tasty treats. Make the most of the garage and handy utility room to towel down soggy fur and store beach gear, and enjoy peaceful nights resting up in one of three bedrooms. One of the bedrooms has two bunk beds and is great for younger ones whilst the king-size has a private balcony.

Leave the car behind, grab the lead and head out for waterside walkies from your door. Wander a stretch of the South West Coast Path for spectacular views and some of the most scenic stick-chasing spots your pups have ever sniffed out. The beach at Oddicombe (1 mile) welcomes dogs during winter months whilst at Babbacombe (0.5 miles), they are welcomed all year round so all the family can enjoy a day by the sea.

Lovely property, felt homely and comfortable. Was very clean. Kitchen well equipped. Large enough so that we weren't on top of each other. Great situation - backs onto a field leading to a coastal path. Bus stop just around the corner. Had everything you might need for a great holiday.

Lovely location but property really needs bringing up to date. Upstairs is beautiful, nice views and airy bedrooms. Downstairs was rather dirty which unfortunately lets the property down.

Stayed in Waves End Feb half term 2023. Location was great, house was a bit dated and could do with some decoration but comfortable. However we had hot water issues when we tried to shower, water going from boiling hot to freezing cold. A huge burn risk for small kids like ours. Called the caretaker in the morning, but no one attended till 6.30pm bRead morey which time no plumber could be found. The caretaker then ignored our calls and was generally very unhelpful. Ruined the trip. Hide
