Boasting captivating views of the coast and within striking distance of the resort town of Salcombe is this immaculate property, Courtenay Villa.

This impressive accommodation is the perfect base for those seeking a relaxing getaway with all of their loved ones, with both North and South Sands beaches situated close by, ensuring a traditional Devon coastal getaway.

Be spoilt for choice by the sleeping accommodation that awaits you as the evening draws to a close, each designed to ensure a flexible sleeping arrangement to suit the needs of your group.

Here, you will find a super-king-size bedroom with glass doors offering views of the sea can be enjoyed as you wake up each morning.

On this floor you will also find a bunk bedroom and a double bedroom which also boasts pretty views of the coastline, whilst downstairs you will find a further double bedroom with a Juliette balcony and a twin bedroom with sea views.

Gather your loved ones of an evening within kitchen/diner, where you will find everything you could possibly need to cater your own evening meals before settling down at the dining table or dine alfresco on the balcony area to admire the views as you tuck into your home-cooked meal or BBQ.

Beyond here is the spacious sitting room, where you can look forward to sinking into the comfortable sofas and tuning into the TV to truly unwind before heading to bed.

During the summer months, be sure to make the most of the garden areas, perfect for stretching your legs whilst soaking up the coastal air, or rustle up a treat on the barbecue one balmy afternoon.

If you don’t feel like cooking one evening however, a short journey will bring you into the centre of Salcombe where a superb selection of bars and restaurants await you.

To keep you busy whilst here, head to one of the local beaches to soak up the sun or brush up on the local history by discovering the National Trust property of Overbecks.

Courtenay Villa is a wonderful retreat for a family gathering to this part of South Devon.

Thank you.

Our 10th stay and, as previously, we enjoyed every minute. Very impressed by the speedy attention to minor issues by your caretaker. However the noise from the adjacent building site was intrusive and it would have been helpful to have had advance notice of such a distraction. The Heath Family

Large construction site next door spoiled the holiday.

Inside the property it was very dusty in the kitchen and lounge, which we assumed was blowing in from the construction. The drive and bin area was blocked regularly by trademen's vans attending the site. Firstly, we should have been informed of the construction and the rate should have been amended. But for the construction work, it was a really lovely property.

Hi Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback and for your kind comments about the property itself. We are pleased to hear that, aside from the neighbouring works, you found it to be a lovely place to stay. We are genuinely sorry that the construction activity next door detracted from your holiday. Prior to your arrival, we had been advised by the developers that the works were expected to be completed by May 2026, and we had also reached an agreement with them that contractors would not park outside the property or obstruct access. We were therefore disappointed to learn that this was not your experience. We completely understand your concerns regarding the dust and the disruption caused by vehicles associated with the site. Although the works are beyond our control, we take feedback such as this very seriously and will be raising these issues with the developers on both your behalf and ours. Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention. We value your feedback and appreciate your understanding of a situation that was unfortunately outside our direct control. We hope that despite this inconvenience, you were still able to enjoy your stay and make some happy holiday memories. The Cannon Family

The property is of course stunning two minor issues.

The main bedroom door rattles in the wind and had to be wedged with loo paper to ensure a nights sleep and there needs to be a shower mat provided to avoid the elderly( us) slipping two reasons why we will not book this property again are Friday change over which resulted in our 6 hour drive becoming 8 hours start stop all the way from Essex and secondly asking the tenant to find the re cycling centre miles away is not acceptable Martin Henry

Dear Martin, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your thoughts. I’m so pleased to hear you found the property stunning, though I’m sorry that a couple of points detracted from your overall experience. We haven’t previously received any comments about the bedroom door rattling in windy conditions, but I’m grateful you mentioned it. We will certainly take a look and make any necessary adjustments to ensure it’s completely secure and quiet. Thank you as well for highlighting the shower mat. Your point about safety is entirely understood, and we will review this straight away to make sure guests feel comfortable and confident using the shower. I do appreciate that travelling on a Friday can make for a longer journey, particularly coming from Essex, and I’m sorry that this affected the start of your break. Our changeover days are fixed, but we understand that traffic at busy times can be frustrating. Regarding recycling, our intention is to support the local arrangements in place, though I’m sorry if this felt inconvenient during your stay. We will reflect on your comments to see whether we can make this clearer or easier for guests in future. Thank you again for your feedback — it is genuinely appreciated. Warm regards, The Cannon Family

I took my dad away to Courtenay Villa for his 50th birthday and wow, what a place!

Sadly, we were broken into by someone who claimed to be the owner during our stay. We felt threatened by the intruder and Sykes didn't take responsibility and action against that horrible, arrogant person. All in all, sadly it was a fearful experience and ruined my dad's 50th birthday celebration.

Thank you for your feedback which is really disappointing but we want to assure you that there really was no intruder or break in and give a full explanation. Firstly we do value all our guests and privacy is of the up most importance. An important package had been delivered to our house Courtenay Villa and we asked our caretaker Chris to ask if he could pop in and see if the current guests minded if he collected it and put it in the garage. He knocked and politely asked if he could come and get the package and also checked you were all ok and were enjoying our family holiday home. Chris fed back to me that you were all lovely people and seemed very happy and enjoying the house. One of the owners then came to collect the parcel from the garage which is accessed separately to the house – he had left something in one of the landlords cupboards that he needed so rang the bell but there was no answer. He decided to quickly pop In through the garage to collect the item which was in a cupboard just next to the garage. In hindsight this was the wrong thing to do and he should have come back later and asked permission to come in so we do apologise for this. You were in fact in and he had a nice chat with you and you all seemed to be having a lovely time which he was really pleased by. All I can do is apologise but I want to make any future guests reading this understand that going forwards we have made sure that there won’t be any need for us to come into the main property unless there is a maintenance issue or emergency. Thank you for your understanding. James – Joint Owner Courtenay Villa.
