Spacious Island beach house. w/Hot Tub

Set In the heart of Mersea Island's waterside Anchorage area.

This coastal gem is great for beach walks, the sea is just 2 minutes away.

Close to local pubs, our famous Oyster restaurants and the village.

A spacious, beach house owned by a family of watersports' lovers with off street parking for 2 cars.

Extended families can congregate in the generous kitchen, the large south facing lounge. Or better yet in the hot tub overlooking the garden.

It's all there.

Family Get Together

I couldn't fault this beautiful spacious home. It had everything we needed for the perfect family get away, and the playroom and trampoline in the garden got a big thumbs up from my grandchildren. The location was great for exploring everything that West Mersea has to offer, especially the seafood! Everyone went away feeling totally relaxed! One big thumbs up for me, was that John the owner greeted me at the property in person to show me how everything worked!
