Sunny Sands is a fabulous 5 bedroom holiday home in Croyde with direct access to the footpath leading to the beach, large garden, summer house, pet friendly (*charges apply) and hot tub (*charges apply).
Living
The spacious living room offers comfortable seating for 7 people and is equipped with a huge Smart TV. There is a lovely woodburning stove - perfect for cosy evenings after a long winter's walk! There are also two 'reading areas' one downstairs just off the hall with a cuddle chair and window overlooking the garden, the other at the top of the stairs where there is an armchair and bookcase.
Cooking/Dining
The beautiful kitchen/dining room has been given a recent revamp with new tiles, worktops and appliances. There is a 4-oven range cooker with gas hob, large American style fridge/freezer, Nespresso coffee machine, wine cooler and a dishwasher. New Denby crockery and Viners cutlery are provided and we are sure many nights around the large dining table (with seating for 10) will be enjoyed! Bi-fold doors open out on to the large composite decked area in the garden. There is a very useful utility area in the garage (which can be accessed from inside the property) where an extra fridge, sink, washing machine, tumble dryer and storage for bikes/beach equipment can be found. Also accessible from the utility/garage and with a door to the front drive, is a surfboard storage area which leads through to a wet room with access to the garden.

Exploring the garden at Sunny Sands will leave you 'wowed'! There is something here for every member of the family to enjoy - the hot tub (included in the price) which is well placed on the large composite decked terrace where there is also an outside corner sofa with table and extra stools - perfect for 'al-fresco' dining. A summer house with sofa and smart tv, purpose built charcoal Bushbeck BBQ (coal not provided), a good sized lawned area and secure gate which gives access to the footpath leading directly to the beach! The garden is fully enclosed for children and dogs and there is a wetsuit washing area with hanging rail for drying. To the front of the property there is ample driveway parking for at least 4 vehicles or more dependent upon the size of the vehicle and Sandy Way also has unrestricted roadside parking for residents and guests.
