“We had such a wonderful stay at Baywatch Sands.”

It is in the absolute perfect location for the beach on a quiet track and was clean and just what we needed for our holiday. I could have done with a dishwasher but it wasn't a big problem at all and it is obviously a very loved home by its owners. Thanks so so much. Flossy

“Really enjoyed staying in this quirky home.”

So close to the beach and we were blessed with glorious weather. We will definitely book again. (The kitchen tap does need fixing though)

Claire April 2025

“A brilliant base to Polzeath.”

We've stayed in many places over the years and this has to be one of our favourites! LOVE the quirky decor. Comfortable, clean, perfect location and the weather was amazing all week. We left feeling refreshed and recharged. Sadly very close to Bouncezone though which at easter was not bust but can imagine in the Summer this could get very noisy.

- Claire, April 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's great to hear that you had such a fabulous stay and had the perfect base to explore the local area from. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Helen September 2024

“Wonderful stay at Baywatch Sands, a lovely, quirky house, with everything you need.”

Already booked for next year, can’t wait to go back. Thank you ☺️

- Helen, September 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to having you back again. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Tracey September 2024

“Beware as listing is out of date and inaccurate.”

The house is a few feet from the Bounce Zone and crazy golf. Not the relaxing break promised. Customer Services completely unhelpful. Have booked through John Bray for years, never again after this.

- Tracey, September 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by these issues. With Baywatch Sands being in a prime location just a short distance from the beach. There have been some small attractions that have popped up near it for tourists to take advantage of. This is beyond our control and sadly we cannot control the noise levels of the public or children who use them... - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Alex July 2024

“Be aware that photos do not show that the adjacent tennis court is occupied by "The Bounce Zone" which consists of three bouncy castles and trampolines.”

This is about five metres from the front door. Music from this is audible throughout the day. Otherwise this is a great place to stay mainly for the proximity to the beach. There is parking outside the property. Back yard is pretty scruffy. As others have said there is no dishwasher which is a shame on holiday.

- Alex, July 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back anytime in the future. We appreciate The Bounce Zone's noise disturbance but there is nothing we can do with external businesses such as these. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
C.r. July 2024

“Mini golf and bouncy castles within yards of house with resultant noise etc no mention of this as last year all was empty.”

front door entrance not easy for older people. stair lights not working. internet tv was on/off due i assume overload in area or house and no normal channels.

- C.r., July 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by these issues. Your comments have been passed on to the team here at John Bray Cornish Holidays and to the owner. We are sadly not able to control what the public do but appreciate the frustration. Being located so close to the beach will have this impact! We hope you still managed to enjoy your visit despite these issues and would love to welcome you back to North Cornwall in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner.

Guy June 2024

“The only thing that would have made the stay better would have been the addition of a dishwasher, but we appreciate there is probably not enough space to install one.”

Other than that we had a very enjoyable stay. Thank you.

Jamie June 2024

“We had a lovely holiday in a lovely location with walking distance to the beach ...”

We had a lovely holiday in a lovely location with walking distance to the beach and amenities,clean but this is our 3rd visit but there is a awful smell when you walk into the property and it was there all week if this could be sorted it would be perfect otherwise enjoyed our stay and will be back next year

- Jamie, June 2024

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are very happy that you enjoyed yet another stay at Baywatch Sands. However, we are sorry to hear that you encountered this maintenance issue during your time at the property. Your comments have been raised to our maintenance team and we look forward to welcoming you back again next year - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Samantha April 2024

“Superb location - just a stone’s throw from Polzeath beach.”

Comfortable bed and lots of space. Little balcony is a great bonus. Would definitely rent this place again when we next visit Polzeath.

Denis November 2023

“I was very dissatisfied when we arrived to find no heating on , it is not expecting to much to make arrangements for some one to switch the heating on 24hr in advance.”

The supplementary heating was not easy to find, placed in a more prominent position would be helpful. The hob was reported broken on Monday ,no response, after another phone call the engineer replaced the unit on Wednesday the day before we finished our holiday. The engineer was helpful and efficient.

Kyla August 2023

“We have just had the most amazing holiday at Baywatch.”

We were a little worried as some of the previous reviews mentioned the property being a bit tired but this was NOT the case at all. It was spacious for our family, comfortable, clean, lovely kitchen facilities (the only improvement here would be a dishwasher!) and it was great to have a washer and dryer after long days on the beach! Great bathroom and wonderful shower. Really cute little garden and we woke up with the property surrounded by rabbits each morning. Such a great location - 1 minute walk to the beach! We already booked for next year whilst we were there. Thank you.

- Kyla, August 2023

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Baywatch Sands. We do hope that we get the opportunity to welcome you back to Cornwall in the future. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Kenny August 2023

“We had a lovely time and location of the property is perfect avoiding any steep slopes and hills on your way to the beach.”

Had everything we needed within a stones throw, beds were comfy, kitchen perfect and was lovely to have options to sit out at the property to relax. Only things we did notice were the drains seem to fire up from the sink/toilet/etc leaving a bit of a constant whiff and questions being asked!! Also the stairs are incredibly noisy, if sleeping on the top floor and you need the loo in the night or are first up, you’re guaranteed to stir/wake others. That said I would definitely recommend as positives easily outweigh the negatives! Thank you!

Kirsty July 2023

“We loved our stay at Baywatch Sands, despite not having great weather !”

! I think we were lucky to be one of the first to benefit from the recent upgrading/ refurbishment, the decor is now really fun and fresh and the new kitchen and bathroom are good quality and well equipped. The location is superb and it’s very handy to be able to park directly outside. We have been coming to Rock and Polzeath for 30 years but this was definitely one of the nicest places and locations we’ve stayed, we will definitely look at rebooking. Just a couple of things we thought would make it perfect…. firstly, gates on either side of the top terrace so you can leave the door open and have a secured outside space for children or dogs. And secondly, if possible to fit either 2 singles or a king size bed into the top bedroom as a double bed feels just too small to get a decent night sleep in !

- Kirsty, July 2023

Thank you for your very kind words about your stay in Baywatch Sands. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Your comments have been noted and very much appreciated. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Emma June 2023

“Great location but the property needs some attention as very dated.”

The outdoor space could use some table/chairs as currently there is none. Great for a short break and although dated, had everything we needed.

- Emma, June 2023

The property is being renovated as we speak so please return to see the finished project! As for garden furniture it is all under the stairs, it’s stored there until the weather is warm enough for it to go outside. Property Owner
Andrea April 2023

“Property is in a great location very close to the beach and amenitiies and you don't need to walk up or down a hill which you do with most other properties in the area!”

There's no doubt that the property needs modernising however I could see that from the photo's before I booked it so I was aware. The property was really clean with new bedding (I decided to strip the bed when I left and duvets, pillows, mattresses etc were spotless). Would have been nice to have a dishwasher but appreciate not the space but it did have a washing machine which is needed being near the beach! I would stay again..

- Andrea, April 2023

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback, it is really appreciated. We are pleased you found the property to be so clean and that you would stay here again - we would love to welcome you back! John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Sara August 2022

“This property is very well located but unfortunately very tired and needs a lot of attention.”

Little effort made to make the exterior patio look attractive or welcoming (just a concrete back yard really with loose pavings). A picnic table rather than an exterior dining table with beach chairs too low to sit on to eat at the table. No washing line (John Bray employee did drop one off a couple of days after requesting it). The bathroom towel heater old and rusty. Tiles coming off the wall at the end of the bath. A "barrier" made out of mastic on the bathroom shelf to divert the shower water from going on the floor. Curtains not lined and no shutters so tricky to sleep beyond 5am. Would rather have had a coffee machine than a microwave. No freezer just a small under counter fridge. All cupboards smelt musty. We had a great holiday in wonderful Polzeath but would not return to this property.

- Sara, August 2022

We have been reviewing all of our feedback over this years season, we just wanted to say a massive thank you for taking the time to feedback on your stay. Your comments were noted by us here at John Bray Cornish Holidays and were raised to rectify. We hope you still managed to enjoy your visit despite these issues and would love to welcome you back to North Cornwall in the future. John Bray on behalf of the owners. Property Owner
James July 2022

“Amazing Location so close to the beach, its a great family base for a week to explore Polzeath.”

we loved its quirky layout and has lots of room, for our family of 4, 2x kids aged 9 and 12. The parking space is a huge benefit, with out door space and a veranda to watch the sun go down from. Could do with a dishwasher (no one likes to wash-up on holiday) and drying racks for wetsuits and clothes. Its so good we are booking again.

- James, July 2022

James we are delighted you enjoyed your break at Baywatch Sands and loved it’s quirky nature as much as we do! Unfortunately there’s no room for a dishwasher but we will look at providing a drying area for wetsuits. We look forward to you staying again x Property Owner

The property

The property has recently had renovation works to the kitchen and bathroom therefore, the current pictures do not reflect this.

Baywatch Sands is located in Polzeath, Cornwall, and is only a few steps from the beach.

This holiday home is ideal for a family of five, with a balcony to enjoy the sea views, a country-style décor, and off-road parking for three cars.

Enter the well-equipped kitchen, which includes an electric oven, induction burner, microwave, and a washing machine which means you can pack lighter for your stay.

To celebrate the occasion, gather in the dining area to munch on exquisite foods and uncork a bottle of wine.

Upstairs, you'll find the sitting area, where you may relax on the sofa with a cup of tea while watching TV or taking in the sea breeze from the balcony.

The ground-floor features a bathroom with a peaceful soak and an above shower to wash away the salt from the sea after your day of fun.

When it's time to sleep, there's a family room on the first floor with plenty of storage which means a child can sleep in a room next to parents and a double on the second floor with great views of the surrounding greenery.

Families will love the close proximity to the beach and amenities in the village of Polzeath.

From needing a new wetsuit to picking up daily groceries for a picnic, there are convenient small shops which can provide for your days out.

After a stroll along the coastal path which stretches in both directions from Polzeath beach, why not sit back at the Oyster Catcher Pub or Waterfront Restaurant to try the local fare and a well deserved drink? Book a stay at Baywatch Sands for a relaxing break on the Cornish coast and plenty to do for all the family. Note: For larger groups and families who wish to stay close to each other, this property conveniently can be booked with Ref. 1103493 which sits back on the hillside just above this house, together sleeping up to 12 guests.
