Seacote is a new property in the Wellies & Windbreaks portfolio, available from Easter 2022. This fabulous sea-fronted holiday home in Selsey is ideal for a family coastal break. Sleeping up to seven guests in three bedrooms it is perfectly suited to two families with young children or one larger family.
Seacote is an ideal escape at anytime of the year. In summer, the proximity to the beach and large garden with garden room and hot tub will come into its own. However, the house is equally well suited to winter breaks as the cosy sitting room enjoys a wood burning stove and the hot tub is available all year round.
Comprising of:
Bedroom 1: King size bed with en-suite shower (first floor)
Bedroom 2: Bunk room with double bed at the bottom and single bed on top (first floor)
Bedroom 3: Double bed (ground floor)
Downstairs the property has a sizeable sitting room with dining table for six, plus an extra extendable table which can seat another two to four guests. The sitting room has comfortable seating in the TV area with log burning stove. There is a separate, well-equipped kitchen with small kitchen table, ideal for kids tea and access to the private and secure rear garden. There is a double bedroom and separate bathroom with over bath shower downstairs too.
Upstairs are two further bedrooms. The master with en-suite shower and fabulous sea views, plus a balcony with seating area, is a real highlight. Upstairs is also the bunk room with a bunk (double bed at the bottom and single on top) plus an additional single bed with pull out truckle bed if required.
The garden at Seacote is a real bonus. The sizeable lawn area is ideal for children to play on plus there is a garden room at the end with seating and also a hot tub (optional extra at £295 per stay). The garden room is secure so ideal for pets too. (Maximum of two dogs). Please note that whilst this is a pet friendly property, we ask that you abide by our pet friendly rules and clear up after your animals in the garden. We also ask that pets are not allowed upstairs, or in the downstairs bedroom and pets are not allowed on the soft furnishings. Thank you.
Seacote has a small utility area with washing machine and tumble dryer, plus parking on the drive for up to three cars end to end.
Seacote is located in the seaside village of Selsey. East Beach Road is a residential area with direct access to the beach just over the green. It is a 20 minute walk to the town centre with all of its shops and restaurants and if you choose, you can walk all along the beach front to get to the village centre. Near the house there is a butcher, baker, green grocer, convenience store and fish and chip shop just a 5 minute walk away. There is also a kiosk, skate park and playground at the beach front making it an ideal holiday property for families.
Selsey is one of the sunniest places in the UK, with a record number of sunshine hours and the beach in front of the house is a popular spot for swimming, paddle-boarding, diving and many other water sports. Given that the beach is east facing and the prevailing wind is south westerly it is often one of the most sheltered beaches on the West Sussex coastline. It is also famous for its delicious crab! This is available, along with a variety of locally caught seafood, from the renowned Julie's fish shop. Julie's is situated at the seafront just a few moments walk from the house.
East and West Wittering, with access to more amenities and the famous white sandy beach are just a 15 minute drive away and Chichester is also just 15 minutes away.
** Please note that the hot tub is an optional extra as it gets refilled for each guest that requests it. The charge is £295 for the stay. If you would like it, please tick the hot tub option in the booking form which you will be sent upon enquiry.

Lovely Cosy Seaside Christmas Getaway
We’ve booked with Wellies & Windbreaks before, staying at their property ‘The Courtyard’ in West Wittering for Christmas 2021, which was absolutely wonderful so we decided to book again for Christmas 2023. When it wasn’t available we went for Seacote.
A really lovely little house, just a very short stone’s throw from the beach.
Just as shown in the photos.
Lovely clean rooms throughout with simple decor and nice little bits of art.
Well stocked kitchen - everything we needed to prepare a full Christmas lunch.
Wonderful view of the sea from the master bedroom and you could also see the sea from the living room.
Hot tub was a real plus - fabulously hot - and we made the most of it!
And the enclosed garden for the dog was great.
We were told there’d be some wood to get us started with the log burner however there wasn’t any which was a little annoying, and the log burner itself was a somewhat tricky to operate. Allso there was a loose kick board under the kitchen counter which kept falling down, but those are the only small criticisms.
If we had to choose again we’d probably go for The Courtyard as it was more spacious, had an open fire, and we preferred the beach (further away but much bigger and more open) and the general locale along the coast in West Wittering.
That being said, Seacote is a very lovely holiday home, and in fact, I imagine it would really come into its own in the summer with the sea being so close and the great summer house in the garden.
Many thanks, Wellies & Windbreaks once again.

Great home by the sea
Thank you for a lovely stay in Seacote- beautifully and thoughtfully kitted out with every comfort you could need. Lovely to be so close to the sea; great view from balcony. Ideal for a small family, but a bit tight in the sitting room if more than 4 really. Fantastic hot tub and garden room.

A good family house
Selsey is not very nice but the house was comfortable and well set up for a family with small children. Great garden with dining table and if you join the seafront and turn left there’s a nice walk. Fine as a base to get out to nice areas like Chichester harbour and to sandy beaches at the Witterings. We’d use Wellies and Windbreaks again but would be more careful to check the location next time.

Extra special stay in Selsey
A wonderful week in Selsey. The house was perfect for my parents, me and my husband, and our children. The house has absolutely everything you'd need for the week in terms of furnishings and kitchen ware. The location directly opposite the beach is incredible. The beaches are uncrowded, the sea is calm, and you can easily walk to the lifeboat station, an amazing bakery, green grocer, and small shop. In the warm months when the weather is nice there is a fish and chips shop and ice cream shop open next to the seaside playground and skatepark. This is a more residential area of Selsey so away from the resorts which we liked. We were very comfortable in Seacote and hope to return!

R&R in Selsey
Ideal dog friendly property for a 'rest & relaxation' holiday, plenty of places to walk to for lunch. West Wittering near by for beach walks & Pagham Nature Reserve worth a visit

Coronation Weekend with the Girls
We had the best weekend. Chosen because it is not too far from home but far enough to know you are going on holiday. Great location and we were lucky with the weather. A Coronation celebration and we had everything we needed. Only gave it a 3 for comfort but this purely relates to the furniture in the lounge. We were 6 ladies and whilst there is enough seating it was simply not comfortable, sorry. Got locked in the upstairs bathroom because the lock was broken but could easily be sorted. The Garden room was great and we had a fab games afternoon in there. Did not use the Hot Tub as we felt it was an expense we did not need and we didn’t miss it. Lovely walk on the coast and to the pub for a roast. Was a great weekend.

Great stay in a seafront location
Our second stay with Wellies and Windbreaks and wasn’t disappointed with this great property. In a lovely seafront location. Seacote feels like a home from home makes you feel comfortable. Although we missed not having a microwave. Everything else taken care of. Heating/hot water not working on arrival but contacted agency and up and running later in the evening. Great communication. Enjoyed the veranda and the spacious bedroom upstairs. Dogs loved playing in the garden and it was nice and secure for our 2 very small dogs. Summer house was a bonus as we were fortunate to have mostly sunny weather. You have plenty of options for eating in shops close by within 5 mins walk or Asda just a bit further. Overall a great stay.

Amazing Weekend at the end of Nov with dogs.
We had an amazing weekend stay here at the end of Nov. 6 adults and 2 dogs. The house set up was fabulous for us and a fantastic location. The garden was perfectly secure for our 2 labs, who adored all the new smells.
Fish & chip shop 3 min walk away. Very friendly pub 10 mins walk away. Premier shop 3 mins walk away and a big Asda a short drive.
I would certainly recommend this and once we have sorted out dates, I hope to book this again next summer.

Thank you Amanda for your clear and helpful communication – we hope to holiday with Windbreaks and Wellies in the future
Guest at Sherkin
What a lovely big house. We loved our stay at Sherkin. Lovely position, very central to everything which made everything so simple. Beautiful wittering Beaches 100m. Pet friendly which was a bonus. We are going to miss our daily dog walks so most definitely going to book again. Amanda and Angela were brilliant looking after us. Thank you.
Guest at Beachcomber
This is the second time we have stayed in Beachcomber. It is a very specious and well equipped house and the location is excellent. The response to any queries or help is swift. It’s everything you need for a great family holiday.
Gillian Morrison, Property Owner
Amanda is such a pleasure to deal with. She is super efficient and nothing is too much bother. Whether its taking bookings, dealing with cleaners or other management aspects, Amanda is incredibly quick to get onto things and never lets anything drop. Always on. And always with a smile!
Guest at Pebbles West Wittering
We stayed at Pebbles in West Wittering with our 18-month-old and it might be the best staycation we’ve ever done. We will 100% be returning. We’ve never stayed anywhere this well equipped - it has everything you need and definitely feels like a home from home. The house is beautifully furnished and decorated, super clean and the kitchen has anything you could need from a dishwasher to cling film to coffee machine. Our son was entertained the whole time with the toys provided inside and outside, which made our stay that bit easier for us and more special for him. The location is brilliant, with an easy flat walk to the beach and close to the little shops. We can’t believe we’ve never actually visited West Wittering before - the beach is amazing! Now we have somewhere we love to stay, we’ll certainly be back here!
Guest at Sunny View
Perfect place for our holiday. Absolutely loved the decor, location, facilities and all the small touches. Would definitely book again.
