Property code: OC-1795

Built in the 1960s but paying homage to the white-washed architectural Art Deco buildings in coastal California, this unique holiday cottage boasts spectacular views across the seascape. Located in the sleepy seaside village of Overstand, still a relatively undiscovered part of the Norfolk coast, it is perfectly placed for those looking to enjoy a more sedate pace, whilst enjoying the benefits of having busier resorts on your doorstep. Cromer and its bustling activities sits just 2 miles north, while Mundesley is 5 miles south.

Inside the property is bright and airy, having been lovingly renovated by its owners in a contemporary seaside style. The sitting room is warm and inviting, with a large L-shaped sofa and additional cosy seating arranged around the wood burner. With large picture windows and a fully glazed door leading onto the patio, this room offers fantastic views. The kitchen, modern and bright, is an inviting space and with the spacious dining area adjacent to this, it’s a thoughtfully designed social area to spend time in. A snug also sits off the dining room and is a great spot for reading. On the first floor there are three good-sized bedrooms. Bedroom one has a super-king-size bed, boasts sea views and has an en-suite. Bedroom two, also roomy, has a king-size bed and the third bedroom includes a single bed with an optional trundle (please request on booking). This floor also houses a large bathroom with a corner bath, monsoon shower cubicle and WC.

Outside, the view from the garden is beautiful. An enclosed lawned area looks across the vast seascape. Enjoy the BBQ, patio table and chairs and additional outdoor seating peppered around the outside of the property.

  • 3 bedrooms – 1 super-king bed, 1 king, 1 single bed with optional trundle bed (please request on booking - additional cost of £15)
  • 2 bathrooms – 1 en-suite shower room, 1 bathroom on the first floor with corner bath, monsoon shower and WC, 1 separate ground-floor WC
  • Kitchen with built-in electric oven and hob, dishwasher, microwave, American-style free-standing fridge/freezer and drinks fridge

  • Wood burner
  • TV and Nintendo Wii in sitting room and TV in snug

Great property. We had a brilliant weather week, and this place is probably unbeatable in this situation. Village is a great quiet getaway location and house provides everything you need so as not to need to find many other things to do. Would recommend.

We had a lovely week here and the property exceeded our expectations and was just as described. Masses of room for two couples in our case, or a family.

Exceptional location, with stunning sea view from house and garden. Parking outside property is also no problem - as it is a wide infrequently trafficked cul de sac.

Sea Salt is a fantastic house in an incredible location. It's amazing waking up and looking out to sea every day, watching the sunrise and just minutes walk to the beach for our daily surfing.

A beautiful, quiet property with the most wonderful sea views. Clean, well-equipped and comfortable, it was pretty much as described on the property listing. The Overstrand village store is just a short walk away, as is the seafront, and Norfolk coastal path. We loved the Cliff Top Cafe in the village.

The only negative feedback we could give would be a few areas that could have been a bit cleaner. We found a sock under the table with the lamps on behind the sofa. A few dead bugs on windowsills. Pulled the blinds up in the main bedroom to find a clump of hair, hadn't been swept in a while! Also found someone's medication leaflet under the kitchenRead more table. Nothing major and on the whole a lovely stay! Just for the premium price felt these things should have been noticed. Many thanks, Emma Hide

The cottage was tastefully set out, with many interesting and quirky features. Second bedroom lacked facilities and was small for two people. Overall decor, furnishings were very in keeping and the dining room/snug was more than generous. Kitchen was well equipped and crockery/cutlery in abundance. Some areas would benefit from a deep clean.

The property was pleasant with an excellent location, however the property is not maintained or cleaned to the standard expected of a 5 star gold property. I feel that the rating and pricing needs to be reviewed. On arrival various kitchen equipment was dirty, the property was generally dusty, the blinds did not function well (we were unable to Read morelower some), the kettle needed descaling, we didnt use the Nespresso machine as it was unclean, the drink dispenser/ice machine in the fridge freezer was also dirty and the rugs were dirty and stained. All in all this property did not meet our expectations of a 5 star gold property. From reading the visitors book in the property the issues have clearly been ongoing for some time and have not been addressed. Hide
