Photos and Description of this Tendring holiday house
Three bedroom house right across the creek from a beautiful beach.

The Beach House is situated on the Essex Sunshine Coast next to a Nature Reserve right on the bank of a tidal creek with stunning views of the sea in front and the river behind. The huge, usually empty, beach is just over the creek so you can wade over (bring wellies!) at low tide or walk down to the end of Beach Road to the nature reserve and through to the beach. Or you can stroll through the reserve, along the beach and back along the sea wall or stop and bird-watch from the hides or the sun deck. A booklet is in the house along with binoculars and bird books if you don’t know a plover from a pigeon. We have a list of birds spotted (34 in one weekend including Marsh harrier, linnets, Reed buntings, oystercatchers and kestrel) and can email it to you if you ask. Jaywick is about 20 minutes walk along the sea wall (about 30 minutes along the beach) where you will find pubs, shops and amusements.

Location: Tendring in Essex

Nearest Barpub : The Sailor Boy at 2 Miles
Nearest Ski : Water ski-ing! at 5 Miles
Nearest Golf : Miller's Barn Golf Park at 3 Miles
Nearest Restaurant : The Red Lion at 2 Miles
Car: recommended

We think the main attraction is the walking, beach-combing, bird-watching or simply enjoying the peace and quiet. It's a pleasant 30 minute stroll along the grassed sea wall or beach to Jaywick (with its famous sands) and the same again to the typically English seaside resort of Clacton-on-Sea, or you can drive in about twenty minutes. St Osyth is a charming village with unpretentious local pubs and restaurants or you can go further afield to Beth Chatto Gardens or the ancient city of Colchester with all its sights and facilities. Nearer you have the traditional seaside resort of Clacton with its pier, shops, restaurants and amusements.

Bird-watching is excellent. We know nothing yet about our feathered friends but regularly see quail, partridges (who scamper up to the house) and pheasants as well as a beautiful barn owl who comes out during the late afternoon sometimes.

Additional information about rental rates

  • Arrival time is strictly AFTER 4pm and departure BY 10.30am. We can be flexible by prior arrangement ONLY if your booking doesn't coincide with another. Otherwise it's just not fair on our housekeeper.

    We require a telephone number and a non-refundable deposit of £200 to block out your booking with the balance due by fourteen days before your arrival date.

    The rentals stated cover up to four people. For each additional person there is a charge of £25 for up to three nights, £50 for up to a week, £75 for up to a fortnight. We find this the fairest pricing model to avoid a couple paying the same rate as an extended family. We take a fully refundable deposit of £200 to cover any breakage or excessive cleaning costs. We ask for the house to be left clean and tidy. Any extra cleaning required will be charged at cost and deducted from the deposit.
  • Please note that our weekend daily rate refers to Fri, Sat, Sun and Bank Hols.
  • Our rates include everything except linens which are available at the rate of £10 per room. This includes all linen for the bed/s in the room as well as highest quality bath sheets and hand towels and two tea towels per week. Beach towels are £5 extra each. We regret that we have to impose this extra charge but we have to pay for a service to collect, launder, iron and return all linens. If you wish to bring your own there are duvets on all beds; two doubles and two singles.

Notes: Due to insurance stipulations, and the fact that the house is made of wood!, smoking in or anywhere near the property is banned. The house is thoroughly cleaned between stays and there is also an Essa air cleaner and dehumidifier in the house to improve the air quality (indoors - outdoors is pure sea air!). Heating is via plug-in electric radiators which are efficient at heating the house, especially with the shutters closed. The house warms up quickly as it is well-insulated but the floor is the last thing to warm up so we recommend slippers.

Further details for this holiday house rental in Tendring, United Kingdom

The Beach House is in the tiny hamlet of Lee-Over-Sands which is about three miles from St Osyth and about five miles from Clacton-on-Sea in Essex. There are three bedrooms (two doubles with washbasins and one with single size bunk beds), a large living room with integral kitchen and an upper sun room and deck with wrap-around views of the sea and river. The house is clean and comfortable and the Seventies-style shower won’t be winning any design awards but is actually very efficient. There's parking for two or three cars along the side of the house and a slipway into the creek for the nautically-minded.

The real joy is the sheer tranquility, waking up in the morning to flocks of geese and sitting in the sun room or on the deck gaping at the views over the creek, sea, river and marsh. At night sit in the nautically-themed sun room and watch the ships’ twinkling lights or gaze at the spectacular night sky including the occasional shooting star.

We are very flexible (except on the check-in and out times!), depending on prior bookings, extremely friendly and we genuinely want others to share this unique spot so just ask. Most things are possible!

What a memorable holiday!

Review Submitted: January 23, 2012 Date of Stay: July 2011
What a memorable holiday! We were greeted by calming classical music and cosy interior. It was lovely to wake up in the morning to the flocks of birds. It’s quite a stunning view. We have enjoyed the walk along the deserted beach – only us! We have enjoyed every second of our stay, We would recommend this place to anyone who appreciate the spectacular beauty of the sea in all its natural glory. Aster, Lulia and Nathane , Switzerland

A beautiful house in a beautiful location for a wonderful break. On our first visit to this end of the country we’ve been enchanted by this shipshape little house and by the vastness fo sky and land. A fascinating place where land and water keep changing places. David Thomas. Wales
