Summary

The property is clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, ideal for multi-generational stays and exploring nearby attractions. However, there are concerns about the weak shower pressure and lack of privacy from roadside doors. Overall, it is loved for its cozy atmosphere and convenient location.

The property

Sea Gem is an elegant, three-storey house resting in Castletown, Portland, Dorset. With easy access to Chesil Beach, Dorset AONB, and the Jurassic Coast, this contemporary abode provides private parking, ground-floor living, and an enclosed garden for a family or group of seven to explore a spectacular region. The ground floor hosts a spacious kitchen/diner where you'll have no problem cooking at home in the fully-fitted kitchen, with a breakfast bar and an extendable table for seven for everyone to dine together. Ideal for grandparents or those with limited mobility, you'll also find a ground-floor bedroom with a small double bed, storage space, and a wall-mounted Smart TV, as well as access to a Jack-and-Jill shower room. Unwind after busy days in the bright and airy, first-floor sitting room with a sumptuous sofa, Smart TV, Xbox, and selection of books and games to choose from. Alternatively, open the French doors to find the enclosed, private courtyard to dine al fresco, sunbathe on the sun loungers, or play games on the AstroTurf. After busy beach days, you'll also find an outdoor tap and space to hang wetsuits at Sea Gem. Completing the first floor is a double bedroom with Smart TV and the family bathroom, a sleek space to relax with a bubble bath or hot shower. The second-floor hosts two more bedrooms, a king-size and a double, both with Smart TVs and en-suite shower rooms. Start your holiday by exploring the Isle of Portland, with Sea Gem set on a quiet, residential street in Castletown close to Portland Castle, Osprey Leisure Centre, and Portland Marina. There is direct access to the sea via a jetty next to the castle, and the coast path can be accessed just around the corner from the property. If you fancy a break from cooking, you'll find Chesil Chippie, The Cove House Inn, and a selection of cafes to choose from, with lovely walks or cycling along the coast and Rodwell Trail. For more family-friendly adventures, be sure to visit Fancys Farm, Tout Quarry sculpture museum, Portland Bill, and Portland Museum set in 17th-century stone cottages. You'll find something for everyone in the seaside town of Weymouth with its bustling harbour, such as swimming and sunbathing at Weymouth Beach, SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth, and RSPB Radipole Lake. Alternatively, explore Chesil Beach and book a boat tour at Wild Chesil Centre, but if you prefer staying on land, the Jurassic Coast offers spectacular coastal walks as well as Dorset’s' countryside. For a change of pace, the county town of Dorchester is a short drive away with plenty of history to uncover at the National Trust's Max Gate, the former home of Thomas Hardy, a selection of museums, and Kingston Maurward Animal Park and Gardens. For an unforgettable holiday along Dorset's sparkling coast, choose Sea Gem.
