About this property

Ideally positioned on the California Sands Holiday Park, California Summers is a well-presented chalet providing the perfect opportunity to enjoy a fabulous escape to the Norfolk coast. Within easy touring distance of both sugary sands of Great Yarmouth and the magnificent Broads National Park, this attractive ground-floor dwelling is suited to families and groups of six alike, whether seeking a relaxing retreat by the seaside or an action-packed adventure exploring this wonderful part of the country. Make yourself feel right at home as you step inside the airy open-plan living space, kicking off your sandy shoes as you relax and unwind on the plush sofa bed and watch your favourite shows on the contemporary TV. Wander across to the well-equipped kitchen, complete with a good selection of appliances that will help you to prepare many mouth-watering meals throughout your stay. Serve up at the dining table where you can devour you a tasty feast whilst chatting over a bottle of wine and mapping out the exciting expeditions that lie ahead. Take the evening out onto the terrace for a spot of stargazing, before returning indoors to one of the two warm and welcoming bedrooms that await you; a charming double boasting an abundance of storage, and a spacious triple bunk room where you can tuck in the children as you send them off to sleep with their favourite lullaby. Kick start your days with a rejuvenating rinse in the shower, or soak up the suds with a tranquil afternoon bath. Be sure to take a swim in the fantastic heated indoor swimming pool available to guests of the holiday park, and delight in an evening of wining and dining at the on-site pub and restaurant before taking the kids along to the amusement centre or Club Oasis. When ready to see the best what Norfolk has to offer, take a stroll down to the sandy shores of Haven and Caister-on-Sea beach where you can bask in the sunshine and admire views out so sea, before continuing along to Scratby and Newport to find Hirsty's Family Fun Park. Take in 360-views from the top of Caister Castle Tower and spot the Ashtree Farm Drainage Mill, or spend the day down in Great Yarmouth as you ride thrilling rollercoasters at Pleasure Beach, see exotic sea creatures at SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth, or step back in time at Jurassic Journey. Admire grand furniture and décor at the National Trust owned Elizabethan House Museum, or wander the enchanting Merrivale Model Village. Visit the quaint zoo at Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens or venture into the great outdoors with an afternoon at BeWILDerwood Norfolk. Explore St. Benet's Abbey, Thurne Mill and the Bure Marshes National Nature Reserve, all making the Broads a superb location for any type of holiday! On return to the chalet, stop off at the on-site fish and chip shop for a delicious bite to eat, or pick up ingredients from the well-stocked supermarket, just a short stroll away. Live many happy moments with your loved ones on an unforgettable escape to California Summers.

Set on the shores of the Norfolk Coast, California is a thriving village offering a picture-perfect backdrop for any escape to the seaside. Home to a soft sandy beach and a handful of pubs, bars and shops, visitors will find all the essentials right on their doorstep. Great Yarmouth and Winterton-on-Sea sit just a pleasant drive away, whilst further inland Brundall and Acle are well-worth a visit.

    If I have to pay a top up then there shoud be some in the meter to start with. If I over use that amount then I have to top up. This was NOT a top up it was a full charge. We were very disappointed by this. Otherwise it would have been fine. The chalet was clean and the shower great. It was obviously popular with families and seemed quite well positioned.
