Home by the sea

Welcome to a home by the sea. Located just minutes from the coast, our lovely little flat offers an idyllic escape with beautiful panoramic views of the ever-changing Thames Estuary. The historic Leigh-on-Sea Old Town and beach are just minutes away and the vibrant New town with shops, bars and restaurants, just a short walk up the hill. It’s our family home so whilst it isn’t a five star hotel room or luxury boutique cottage you will find it is a clean, tidy and functional place to stay.

Cottage in West Mersea

Cottage on the beach

With its own beachside garden and breathtaking uninterrupted views of the wildest of Essex creeks and marshes, the cottage is only to be reached on foot atop a sea wall. The perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The last in a row of westerly facing cottages, perfect to watch the evening sun go down . From the front garden or even laying in bed, watch the tide slip in and out, the fishing boats come and go and live, for a while, in a world moving at a slower pace.

Flat in Leigh-on-Sea

Billet Wharf House

My place is at the heart of Leigh-on-Sea Old Town, with its cockle boats, waterside pubs and restaurants, sea birds and beach. You’ll love my place because of the location, the views, and being at the cosy centre of a lively seaside village. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, and families (with kids).
