About this property
Sea Scene's , Hayling Island - a flat that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms
Sea Scenes is a homely two bedroom groundfloor apartment located on Hayling's beautiful stretch of beach and perfectly situated for stunning views across the Solent.
Hayling Island is ideal for holiday makers and families as it retains all the attractions of a traditional seaside resort. One of the biggest attractions is the Funland Amusement Park at Beachlands, which has everything from roller coasters to a games arcade and a soft play area. The Hayling Seaside Railway that runs from Beachlands to Eastoke Corner is equally popular.
The island is also well known for its watersports – in fact windsurfing was invented here – and miles of glorious seafront. The local water is perfect for sailing, windsurfing, power boating, jet skiing and more.
There are various great places to eat if you don't feel like cooking, from nice restaurants to pubs and of course a wide range of takeaways. Hayling is also well served by shops, so anything you need during your stay is right on hand!
However, if you feel like venturing out and exploring nearby areas, the attractions of Portsmouth, Southsea, Emsworth and Staunton Country Park are all close by.
The property itself is well furnished and feels comfortable and welcoming.
The living/kitchen area is open and spacious with amazing views overlooking the sea. The living area consists of comfortable sofas and a smart TV. The kitchen area is well equipped with a kettle, Nespresso maker, cafetiere, cooker, fridge, freezer, microwave, toaster, washing machine and dryer, along with a wooden dining table that seats four. The newly replaced double doors look directly out to the sea.
The master bedroom has a queen size bed, a stylish dressing table and a smart TV. The second bedroom has a single bed which can be pulled out to make a comfortable king size bed, please note: once the bed has been pulled out there is limited room in the bedroom.
There is a stylish walk in shower and a separate WC.
There is no BBQ provided for the garden, however, you are more than welcome to bring your own and enjoy the amazing scenery.
WIFI is included with this property and there is enough parking for 2 cars.

Perfect location. Comfortable. Would stay again
Me and my mum loved our week away. The flat was in a perfect location with a gorgeous view. Very comfortable seating and beds and well equipped kitchen. Great and quick communication with owner. Didn't want to leave and would definitely recommend and choose again if we are back in the area.

Excellent apartment with great amenities and fabulous location
Second time staying here. Excellent location, great facilities, perfect for a family holiday. The dog loved it too!
We stayed here during the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Fantastic view, nice accommodation with well appointed kitchen. Would not hesitate to stay again in this flat.
Everything was very good, booking and information about arrival and stay.
We had an issue with cleanliness in the kitchen,but was resolved by the owners.

Apartment needs TLC
Fantastic location but apartment needs attention cleaning not up to standard garden full of weeds entrance has leaking drain
Wonderful sea view from the apartment. Beds were comfortable and kitchen had all modern appliances. A couple of basic things were missing, no toilet rolls supplied or dish cloth. The only issue was the towels, they were not the best, so suggest bringing your own.
The property was execellent with everything catered for and clean linen and towels were first class.really enjoy our stay just a shame that the patio doors couldn't be opened.
The apartment was in an excellent location and was well equipped, although a frying pan would have been useful. It was clean and tidy, although we had to wash the crockery before use as some plates were greasy.
Everything worked, it was lovely and warm for a November stay. The main bedroom was very roomy with plenty of storage space and the bed was lovely and firm. Pity the TV reception in the bedroom was poor on BBC.
The view from the lounge was excellent with beautiful sunsets and the shipping going too and fro, our dog loved the beach too. Unfortunately the patio doors could not be unlocked, which was a pity on the couple of sunny days we had.
Overall a lovely well equipped apartment in a great position, with a comfy bed (we only used the one bedroom), spacious shower and a beach outside the front door, if you could open it....

A beautifully presented GF apartment on the sea front.
The apartment is equipped with everything you need for your stay. The master bedroom is huge with lots of wardrobes although I would take a few more hangers next time. The second bedroom has limited floor space if using the pull out double but it is still a very usable space. The lounge and dining room are bright and spacious overlooking a pretty garden. I would comment that the back garden needs a side gate to prevent dogs and kids disappearing up the side of the house so you have to make sure the front gate is shut. The shower room has a large walk in shower and is well laid out and clean but a non slip shower mat or a grab rail is definitely needed as it gets very slippy in the cubicle. I took my elderly parents here and they managed very well around the place but a central handrail into the garden would be very helpful so that people can be more independent. All in all it was a super break and I would definitely go back again. They even had a Nespresso machine with Pods, which I loved so much I bought one when I got home. Parking is great and you can get right next to the entrance. The owners have provided a fab place to stay and I would definitely recommend. Thanks.

Beach Escape
The apartment is very clean, well equipped, and in a quiet street. The best part is the sea view from the living area, and the location--steps to the beach. Short walk to shops and cafes and the Hayling Island Railway. Enjoyed our stay (our second) and would come back!

Perfect location by the sea
Lovely, very clean and comfortable place, perfect location! The owners very attentive when needed. Was my 2nd visit here.
We enjoyed our stay at Sea Scenes, a bright and clean apartment, with patio doors that opened onto the outside seating area. Lovely to be so close to the sea with great views. Helen was great with some help we needed. 🙂

Contented visitor.
This was our third stay at Sea Scenes, using it as a base when visiting family.
The apartment itself is modern, well equipped and very well maintained, the location especially in summer is ideal for a seaside holiday. I'm sure we will look to stay again.

Right on the beach
Great little bolt-hole, which we used as a day-time base (the bed was too firm for me, so we didn't actually sleep there and drove home each night, only 30 mins away).
The apartment was spotless and well equipped.
The apartment would be even better if it had some comfortable outdoor seating and perhaps a bbq. Also, blackout blinds /curtains in the bedrooms.

Fantastic Beachside Location
This apartment is in a small building (only a couple of other apartments), lovely and quiet location, and with gorgeous sea views. From the (open-plan) living area you can see the Isle of Wight, big cruise ships in the distance, and close up, little sailing boats, windsurfers and kitesurfers. Go through the back garden and you're onto the coastal path and the beach. A 10-minute walk away there's Hayling Railway, cafes, ice cream parlor, mini supermarket, pubs, etc. Apartment was super clean, the internet was super fast, and the place was nice and comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay, just wished it was a bit longer!

Lovely property.
Excellent property. Very clean, comfortable and convenient. Would highly recommend but surprised to see the advice to use the side door rather than the patio windows for access to the garden. The weather being good and having a dog to keep an eye on we chose to ignore this "suggestion " and everything worked O.K. The location and outlook make the sliding doors into the garden a crucial part of the properties charm, so don't be put off. We had a lovely weekend. Many thanks.
Great little gem on the beach. Spacious enough and well equipped for a family of 4. Highly Recommend.

Great style
Accurate online portrayal. Lovely location alongside the beach, especially in summer. Property lacks kerb appeal, but once inside accommodation delivers. Hope to stay again when visiting family.
This place has everything you need for your stay but no direct access to garden from living room
Great little property right on the beach. Clean and everything essential and non essential is supplied. It was only after booking and not being able to cancel I was made aware that the back door that leads out on to the garden/beach front is advised not to use. The front door lock was also badly worn and had to be replaced during my stay. The back garden is not secure, this was disappointing to discover as not only was i unable to use the patio doors I had to leave the property and lock up in order to access the garden as the garden leads on to the driveway and main road. This was frustrating as it meant every time the dog was taken out everything had to be locked up.
Great views across to Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight
The apartment was very comfortable with lots of amenities. Great views across to Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. Very peaceful and relaxing place to stay.
