About this property
Number Nine New Esplanade is a quiet coastal snug with a flat walk to the shore
(Prices displayed include your booking agent's commission charge so there will be no extras. Stays for 7 night bookings carry a discount.)
"This homely, south facing, ground floor holiday apartment within a complex of 62 dwellings near the pier, is conveniently located for quick level walking access to the coast, harbour and town. It comprises a spacious bedroom with blackout curtains, double bed and single bunks, a lounge/kitchenette with dining furniture, a 3-seater sofabed, oven, hob, microwave, fridge with ice box, toaster, shopping trolley, beach chairs, iron and ironing board. Whilst furnished with a home-from-home feel, it has gentle reminders of being at the seaside so relax and enjoy.
"Heating is by way of portable electric units, an immersion for hot water and a powerful electric shower operates over the bath. All of this, together with bedding, linen, bath/hand/tea towels, lighting, and basic essentials are included in the cost of your stay. So too is free access to the beautiful heated pool open May to end September. Checking in and out is unobtrusive in that you have your own access and departure responsibility.
"The private patio/lawned garden, with shrubs and outdoor furniture, as well as buckets and spades, is idyllic for your own al-fresco catering or a haven for soaking up the sun. Also suitable for storing bicycles. Car parking for one vehicle, just meters away, is secure with ease for a mobility chair to the patio door.
"A splendid heated outdoor pool, set in tropical landscaped gardens and shared by all guests, is so welcoming on either hot or cooler days and is open throughout the summer.
"The apartment has two entrances, and is tastefully furnished to accommodate families of 5, maximum 4 adults. We cannot accept party bookings for hen or stag entertainment. Wheelchair users, please note that there are two steps into the apartment and a narrow entrance into the bathroom might not allow for wheelchair access. However, the front entrance via the main gate is on the flat to the interior door with no steps.
"Because of the splendid coastal location of this lovely holiday home, you are in close proximity to the town shopping centre, supermarkets, restaurants, parks, bus depot, railway and steam train station, rugby/cricket ground, theatre, cinema, and launderette. WIFE IS NOT AVAILABLE. There are two car charging points adjacent to the site.
"Cleaning is thorough and carried out with professionalism.
"Added to all of that, you've got flat access to the clean sandy beach. Have fun!"
A warm welcome awaits you - we're sure you'll enjoy your stay.

Property was very clean and comfortable. Easy access to the beach and town.
Absolutely amazing location to explore Paignton and the pool is the star of the show. The apartment was comfortable and had lots of extras such as games, etc, but it could do with a good wipe down and the drawers being cleaned out (lots of crumbs in the cutlery drawer, etc). The host was excellent at communicating with us for check-in instructions and replied quickly to any messages
If you book this you’ll understand, wasn’t unpleasant stay but you’ll need to make the most of it once you get over the smell.

Very cosy stay
We had lovely stay. The apartment has everything you need and it is very cosy and clean. Owners made sure that we didn't have any problem. Communal swimming pool is fantastic!!!
Excellent facilities, extreamly helpfull n prompt communication. Fantastic location, super car parking spot. It really was lovely, can't thank them enough for such a lovely stay. Will be booking again 😃
Lovely clean accomodation, all amenities needed for a fantastic holiday right by the sea front. Easy checkin/out, plus clean swimming pool.
Only negative is hearing a lot of noise from the apartment upstairs, kids running about causing the light fitting in lounge to rattle!
Property is very Central, one of our group had a mobility scooter so access through the garden was spot on.
We explored further west an area we had not done before property was central to the resort bur close to the areas top attractions Excellent
Great location for exploring Paignton town and travelling around Devon. Accommodation was great with the benefit of a patio. Kitchen could have done with more utensils and upgrades on pans but managed to cook on a wet day in. Disappointed that there was no cafeteria as one in the photos. Also only 1 toilet roll as was there for 7 days. Host was quick to respond. Thank you.
Stayed in this property for a week over all it was good, a few minor things need updating ie: toaster needs replacing, hair dryer needs replacing, toilet brush was very dirty and brown, frying pan needs to be nonstick, handle missing on bedroom cabinet, sink in kitchen area dirty and stained last but not least TOO MANY SEAGULLS TOO MANY FEATHERS

Nice location noisy upstairs !!!
The place looked clean and tidy but I did have to clean the fridge before using it.
The real problem are people with boots on upstairs I assume it’s a wood floor rather than carpet and no we wouldn’t return
Big enough for 2, well equipped, sun trap & private little garden..

Lovely location but with noisy neighbours
Lovely location within a couple of minutes walk of the seafront and easy driving distance to attractions in Paignton and along the south Devon coast. Apartment was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Only downside is that noise really carries from the flat upstairs and could constantly hear thudding doorsteps, voices and the television at all hours. Wouldn’t recommend if you want to enjoy quiet evenings in or are a light sleeper.

Top notch appartment
Couldn't fault anything on our stay at no.9 esplanade court .Fantastic location just behind the seafront.The apartment was spotlessly clean and had everything you could possibly need from a home from home staycation .Communication from host was also excellent and we much appreciated the tea,coffee and milk left for us.We will definitely be back.
