The Sandy Feet Retreat: seaside escape on Anderby Creek beach

www.thesandyfeetretreat.com
Behind tufts of marram grass and rolling dunes, just metres from the beach and overlooking the sea, sits The Sandy Feet Retreat. One of only a few genuine beach houses available to rent on the English coast.
Forget your shoes, forget the news! We're an off-the-grid retreat. Surrounded by nature, a place to disconnect. Feel the sand between your toes and salt in your hair. Enjoy the ultimate experience in sustainable luxury seaside living, from watching the sun rise over the ocean from the comfort of your bed, to strolling along one of the most beautiful, unspoilt beaches in England.
A Luxury Retreat
The Sandy Feet Retreat is a striking and contemporary build in an incredible location, offering a sophisticated beach retreat in summer and a cosy bolthole with roaring wood buners in winter. Based on the concept of a retreat, where serenity, contemplation and restoration are foremost, the house will accommodate up to 7 guests with all the creature comforts of a luxury hotel.
Garden & Sun Deck
Guests enter the house at ground level via the dining kitchen, through 2 large sliding windows, which open to create an indoor/outdoor space. These give access to a terrace with bespoke outdoor furniture, a masonry barbecue grill, enclosed private garden and raised sun deck with fabulous sea views.
Loungers & Hammock
The outdoor areas are ideal for alfresco cooking and dining, reclining on a sun lounger with a glass of something chilled, or just snoozing in the hammock under the sun deck.
The Boat House
For those looking for a more active holiday we provide complimentary kayaks, stand up paddle boards (SUPs), bodyboards, surfboards and life vests.
Open Fire Pit
The 'crackling' open fire pit is a magical place to gather around at the end of each day to socialise, toast marshmallows or simply gaze at the stars. Outdoor blankets and a guitar are also provided.
Dining Kitchen
The kitchen is completely bespoke, designed by our architect and built-by-hand locally. It is equipped with all the latest mod-cons, a large oak dining table with views overlooking the sea and a wood burner to light on cool winter mornings or evenings.
Wet Room
Beyond the dining kitchen there is a downstairs changing area inc. a walk-in wet room with double showers (perfect for sandy kids after the beach!), plus a cloakroom/WC, washing machine and tumble dryer.
The Snug
To the rear of the ground floor there is a small but beautifully proportioned plywood-lined snug. Here you can retreat indoors, relax on the squishy sofa or floor mattresses, light the second wood burner, watch Netflix or Amazon Prime, listen to Spotify on the Sonos system, play board games, or simply enjoy lazy afternoon naps on the day bed.
Upper Deck Layout
When in need of sleep or privacy guests can head upstairs via the blackened steel-clad steps to the first-floor, which has 3 bedrooms (1 with en-suite) and a house bathroom.
House Bathroom
The house bathroom has double walk-in showers, enclosed by frosted glass walls on 3 sides, which illuminate at night to create a stunning light feature.
Rear Bedroom
This bedroom is particularly quiet, located at the rear of the property. It has a king size bed with views of the nature reserve and bird hide. The silence here is broken only by waves breaking on the shore and faint murmurings of the surrounding wildlife and fauna.
Little Bunk Room
Designed specifically with children in mind, this small bedroom has a bunk bed with 2 single mattresses, plus a pull-out/trundle bed that fits neatly underneath for a 3rd child.
Master Suite
The magnificent sea views are best enjoyed from the master suite, where you are perfectly positioned to watch the sun rise over the ocean from the comfort of your king size bed.
Bath With Sea Views
The master bedroom also benefits from an en-suite bathroom featuring a bathtub with ocean views, the perfect place to soak for hours while taking in the incredible scenery.
Hanging Bubble Chair
Designed by Eero Aarnio in 1968 and featured in many movies, music videos, and celebrity photo shoots, the bubble chair which hangs from the ceiling in the master bedroom is the perfect place to sit and enjoy views across the sea, or watch the sun set over the fields behind the house.
