About this property
Portland Pebble is a marvellous semi-detached, three-storey holiday home resting in Wyke Regis, Dorset. With stunning coastal sea views and beautiful beaches just a stone's throw away, Portland Pebble is a fantastic, coastal getaway for a family of six! You'll be happy to find an off-road parking space in front of the garage, before soaking up the sea breeze. Make your way inside to be welcomed by a sumptuous sitting room, where ample leather seating awaits in front of an electric fire and flatscreen TV. Continue to the fabulous open-plan living space, where Velux windows bathe the room in natural light, highlighting the contemporary fixtures and furnishings. Settle down on the sofa and enjoy some more TV, or head over to the kitchen, an area boasting minimalistic cabi-netry with an array on integrated appliances. Once the designated chef has created a delicious meal in the kitchen, enjoy it together at the six-seater dining table over a glass of wine. After dinner, head back to the sitting areas, or if you'd prefer a little more privacy, why not settle down in the study with a captivating book in hand? As day turns to dusk, head upstairs to come across two of the three superb bedrooms, resting on the first floor, the first of these being a double which enjoys its own TV and access to a balcony, and the other comprises a twin room that is great for the youngsters! Climb the stairs again to find the gorgeous, second-floor double; here you can set-tle down on the armchairs in front of the huge skylights and admire those sea views, before fresh-ening up in the en-suite shower room! Completing the property's interior is a well-presented fami-ly bathroom, a space which enjoys tiling throughout and a bath where soothing soaks can be en-joyed. Outside, you will be pleased to come across a charming courtyard, where many afternoons can be spent lounging in the sun on the deck chairs. A stone's throw away from the house is the picturesque sands of Smallmouth Bay, where you can spend the day unwinding before heading to Wyke Smugglers for a refreshing pint! Head further along the South West Coastal Path to Wey-mouth, stopping at the remains of Sandsfoot Castle along the way, to find a fantastic selection of attractions, including Nothe Fort, SEA LIFE and Sandworld; additionally, the town hosts a stunning beach and RSPB areas, making it an idyllic outing for all! Travel the opposite direction to find the renowned sands of Chesil Beach, as well as access to the Isle of Portland, an isle which not only boasts a range of stunning sights and walks, but is steeped in history, which can be explored at Portland Museum and Portland Castle. Head further inland to find the Dorset AONB, where plenty of unspoilt rural and coastal scenery await. Whisk those who mean most away for a special break at Portland Pebble.

Perfect location, spotlessly clean and beautifully presented. The house had everything needed for a happy stay and was so prettily decorated for Christmas. The hamper of festive goodies was much appreciated as was the owner kindly popping by with a bottle to welcome us. Just Perfect!

Storm Bert arrived just after we did so we spent a couple of very comfy days snuggling in. The owner was really concerned that we were OK and made sure we were safe and all was well, a lovely chap. Property close enough to Weymouth And Portland and the South West Coast path. Would recommend.

The accomodation was excellent and the owners were very helpful in dealing with any queries. It was a joy to be so close to the sea! There was a lot of activity taking place in the bay, with windsurfers and the brave cold water swimmers! It was an ideal base to visit other nearby places and a pleasant route for walkers and cyclists from our door along the coast towards Weymouth.
