As before, the accommodation was top notch, super comfy bed, lovely private garden and about 100 steps to the beach! One tiny problem with a light bulb was fixed the same day as mentioned to Carol. Weather was great, locals all very friendly and the beaches were virtually empty! I cannot recommend this delightful holiday accommodation and area so I will absolutely return again and again (until I can persuade my other half to move to Selsey Bill!!). Thank you thank you.

A beautiful Floridian beach vibe decor with the waves practically on the doorstep. The courtyard garden is secure and perfect for your fur babies and a sun trap for the adults. The green opposite makes the perfect playground, beautiful walks on the beach front, especially at low tide. The owners were so friendly and welcoming and the wine in the fridge on arrival was awesome! They also told us some local places to visit which were lovely. Thank you for making our stay a great experience.

Couldnât fault the Hideout. It had everything you need plus lots of additional extras which were a lovely touch. The property owner couldnât do enough to help if we needed anything. Would highly recommend the Hideout!
