Explore the CollectionA small, independent collection
Some places stay
with you.
Coastal Living is an independent collection of holiday homes gathered along a stretch of South Devon we know properly — Start Bay, Dartmouth, the estuaries and villages of the South Hams.
Every home is chosen for a reason, looked after personally, and recommended by someone who lives a short drive away.
The Collection
Beautiful places. Carefully chosen.
A collection of independently owned holiday homes in some of South Devon's most special coastal locations. Each one is visited, photographed and looked after by us.
Our South Devon
The coast we
call home.
From quiet mornings on Start Bay to long lunches in village pubs, this is the South Devon we know — the places we return to, recommend and never quite tire of.
Everything we suggest comes from living here, not from a visitor guide.

Three things we'd tell you about over the kitchen table.
A beach worth finding
Mattiscombe Sands
A field walk down from Start Point, and usually nobody else there.
Somewhere for lunch
A favourite South Devon pub
Crab sandwiches, a garden, and the sea somewhere below you.
Year-round South Devon
South Devon has more than one season.
Autumn walks, empty winter beaches, a fire in a village pub, spring light on the water. Some of the best weeks here are the quiet ones.
A local, independent business
Coastal Living started with a love of this coast.
Charlotte holidayed in South Devon long before moving here seventeen years ago — and still remembers the excitement of arriving and catching that first glimpse of the sea.
Coastal Living grew out of that, and out of years spent working in the holiday industry. It is still a small business, run by someone who knows the homes, the owners and the coastline personally.
Our story →We didn't just find somewhere beautiful to stay — we discovered a part of Devon we can't wait to return to.
