Guests say
Guests generally enjoy the modern, comfortable apartment with its proximity to the beach and scenic views. The pool and spacious layout are appreciated, though some maintenance issues are noted. The challenging access roads are a consideration for visitors.
The property is often described as clean and well-presented, though there are isolated reports of insufficient cleaning on arrival and minor issues like a rusty towel rail. The mid-week clean service, when requested, is praised for its thoroughness.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views, beach proximity, and access to local amenities. However, the narrow access roads are a consistent concern, affecting the ease of travel to and from the property.
Guests find the beds and furnishings very comfortable, contributing to a restful stay. Some minor discomforts are mentioned, such as the lack of fans during hot weather and issues with a shower head not staying in place.
The facilities, including a well-maintained pool and well-equipped kitchen, are generally appreciated. However, several reviews mention maintenance issues such as broken appliances, a problematic pool cover, and the need for more cutlery and kitchenware.
While some guests mention the provision of biscuits, tea, and coffee capsules, there is not enough consistent information about thoughtful gestures or gifts to accurately assess this category.
About this property
Ocean's Edge is a stunning development of luxury ocean front apartments, right on the water's edge and with shared use of a delightful heated swimming pool. The apartments are just a short walk from the beach at Thurlestone Sands and sit adjacent to the South West Coast Path, whilst the historic villages of Thurlestone and Hope Cove are both nearby.
2 Ocean’s Edge is a delightful ground floor apartment, enjoying views over the shared swimming pool, neighbouring countryside and out to sea towards Burgh Island and Bigbury Bay. There is an open plan living, dining and kitchen area, made light and bright space by large French doors out to a furnished terrace, with a table and chairs to seat six guests. The comfortably furnished lounge space includes two large sofas, which leads to a well equipped kitchen and dining area with an oak table and chairs. A separate utility cupboard houses a washer/dryer.
Three bedrooms include an en suite master with a King-size divan bed, with a fully tiled en suite shower room. The second bedroom is a twin with two single beds, also with an en suite shower room, and the third has a double bed.
From the apartment there is level access to the shared swimming pool and gardens. There is allocated parking for one car, plus visitors bays.
The coastal village of Thurlestone is popular with both beach-goers and watersports enthusiasts, with the popular sandy beaches of Thurlestone and South Milton Sands within walking distance.

The owners have provided everything needed for a very comfortable holiday. As experienced holiday home users, we found it more than met our expectations. The apartment is very well designed and with exellent soundprrofing (we never heard any noise from the neighbours to the side or above). The beds, a crucial element to a restful holiday, are sumptous and very comfortable. Since it is a self-catering holiday, we would not expect to find things like dishwasher tablets, fairy liquid etc. - we always take those. One thing the owners might like to consider at some point is replacing the crockery as there a two mugs with chips and cracks, and a place with a sharp chip. This was our second visit. We would happily recommend it to anyone.

Well equipped with everything we needed for 5 people. Great to be able to use the pool, straight from the apartment. 5 minute walk to the beach was perfect. Minor point was we had to drive to shops to buy more dishwasher tablets, in order to be able to use the dishwasher once each day. We felt that providing one per day would be reasonable, or state that this is something that isn't provided.
