The location is highly praised for its convenience, with a Tesco Extra across the street and close proximity to public transport, making it easy to visit local attractions. The sea view and quietness despite the central location are also appreciated.
Guests found the apartment to be very comfortable, with a nice bed and linen, and a pleasant outdoor area. The presence of a dressing room was an unexpected bonus. However, one review mentioned challenges with the bath shower for older guests.
The apartment is well-equipped with a jacuzzi, dishwasher, and coffee maker, among other amenities. However, some facilities like the jacuzzi bath and hallway lights were reported as not working, which affects the score.

Not able to fill bath except by using the shower head, tv sky option not set up. Called the owner who eventually cleared the bath problem and set up the sky connection. In addition demonstrated use of the coffee making machine which when we made a coffee leaked water over the worktop so was not usable. In addition locking the front door was extremely difficult as interlocking did not easily complete to allow key to lock. Will not be using this property again.

Definitely a home from home (without all the clutter!). It was immaculately presented, with a nice surprise on arrival! It's lovely to have a fully equipped kitchen to be able to use and having a Tesco Express right opposite was perfect (and as others have said, there was no 'added' noise from it being there). Great location for visiting the sights - thank you for all the leaflets etc. for us to look through. All in all I would highly recommend Sea View for anyone interested in visiting the area, it was perfect for our holiday.
