The space
Soft sunlight pours through tall Victorian windows as you start your day just steps from the sea. The sound of gulls and the scent of salt air drift in, inviting you to stroll to the beach or linger over coffee in the open-plan living space. Every detail in this award-winning apartment reflects a careful balance of history and comfort, from its ornate fireplaces to its underfloor heating that keeps the rooms cozy year-round.
Living & dining
Gather in the bright, open-plan living and dining area where high ceilings and period details frame a welcoming space for connection. A 55" 4K Smart TV with a Bluetooth sound system sets the scene for relaxed evenings, while tall windows fill the room with natural light. Two desk spaces offer the flexibility to work, read, or create at your own pace.
Sleeping arrangements
With space for up to six guests, the apartment includes two serene bedrooms and a double sofa bed in the living area. The master bedroom offers a calm retreat, while the second double bedroom provides comfort for additional guests. Crisp linens, extra pillows, and generous storage make each room a restful place to unwind after a day by the sea.
Kitchen & dining
The fully equipped kitchen blends style with practicality. Cook your favorite meals with a stainless steel oven, gas hob, dishwasher, and microwave, or enjoy a drink from the wine cooler before dining at the table. A refrigerator, freezer, toaster, blender, and French press coffee maker ensure you have everything you need for a leisurely stay.

The Beach Haus Vision
Beach Haus is a high-concept creative consultancy and cultural brand operating within art, technology, and expression.
Originally founded as a disruptive gallery concept within curated, design-led residences, Beach Haus began as a force for good — using contemporary art, craft, and subculture to transform everyday spaces into living cultural experiences.
Today, we are a visionary consultancy working exclusively with a list of clients who share our commitment to radical creativity, innovation, and meaningful impact. We incubate a diverse artistic network — from grassroots talent to internationally represented artists — and bring this melting-pot culture into projects that span creative strategy, AI-powered storytelling, and socially conscious design.
Our model is grounded in unity consciousness and spiritual truth, blending aesthetics with purpose. We operate with social enterprise values, demonstrating how creative industries and corporations alike can uplift local economies while delivering rich, authentic cultural value.
Beach Haus has been awarded multiple honors, including a fellowship from the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) and awards for disruptive innovation in the gallery space. We’re gaining rapid traction across verticals — from art and fashion to advertising and tech — as a brand reshaping how culture, commerce, and creativity.
Beach Haus is an independent vision — a work in progress — always evolving, always ahead.
