Over 24,000 coastal cottages, beach retreats and sea view holiday homes

Welcome to Simply Sea Views, the largest collection of coastal cottages, beach retreats and sea view holiday homes in the UK and Ireland, carefully handpicked from independent owners and well-established letting agents.

Being by the sea is good for you! Not only are fresh fish, clifftop trundles and clean air great for your body but now scientific study is revealing a clear correlation between living by the coast and reduced stress levels, as well as generally heightened feelings of well-being. There's no surprise there really. If you live in Britain, you're never more than 72 miles from the coast, so pack your bags and prepare for the salty seaside!
