Property Details

The Space
Bellevue Apartment 1 has been refurbished to the highest standard so you’ll find beautiful interiors throughout.

LIVING AND DINING AREA
The open plan living and dining area has a flat screen TV and a plush velvet sofa so it’s the perfect spot to retreat to after a day at the beach. You can enjoy meals at the dining table which sits in the large bay window showcasing views of the beach below.

KITCHEN
With high shine, white cabinets, the kitchen is ultra sleek. You’ll have everything you could need to prepare meals as it is fully equipped with cookware and modern appliances including a Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine.

BEDROOM
The apartment has two comfortable double bedrooms. Both rooms have premium bed linens and flat screen TVs to create a truly comfortable space. From the master bedroom, you’ll have beautiful views of the coastline from the windows which arch around the space.

BATHROOM
Head to the bathroom and you’ll find a sophisticated look with brick style white tiles. The space is complete with a walk in shower, WC and basin.

Neighborhood
Bellevue Apartments is located in the coastal town of Redcar. Located right on the seafront, you’ll be able to start your day with a morning walk on the golden sands. Packed with nostalgic charm, the seafront has ice cream parlours, arcades and fish and chip shops. There are a number of rides which little ones will love too!

Along the seafront is the infamous vertical pier where you can enjoy views of the coastline. This is also home to a popular bar with outdoor seating looking out to the sea. Further independent cosy bars can be found on Station Road, just a short walk from the apartment.

Redcar is also home to Redcar Racecourse so if you’re visiting for a race day or Ladies’ Day, the apartment is a great base.

Located on the North Yorkshire coastline, you can walk to Marske-by-the-Sea along the beach and then further on to Saltburn-by-the-Sea. Here you’ll find the oldest functioning cliff lift in the UK and a 208-metre pier which stretches out into the sea.

Getting Around
Redcar Central Station is a short 5-minute walk from the apartment. Redcar has great train links with direct routes to Middlesbrough, Darlington and Manchester, as well as connecting routes to Leeds and York.

There are a number of bus stops throughout Redcar with Arriva routes to Middlesbrough, Marske, Saltburn, Sandsend and Whitby.

Las vistas y el equipamiento, no le faltaba detalle. Está de cinco estrellas.<br/><br/>La persona que te tiene que mandar el código de la entrada no habla español y habla un inglés que no hay quien entienda, y tampoco se esfuerza por que la entiendas.

The location is perfect everything is within walking distance from the apartment. The apartment is superbly equipped with everything you could possibly need and is eco-friendly which is terrific. Wonderful views from the living room and main bedroom. Felt super secure. Loved all the wonderful little touches that made it feel homely.<br/><br/>The stairs to get to apartment 2!. Quite steep for anyone with mobility issues. Would be helpful for this to be stated in the information on booking as this has been raised directly with the management.

The flat is excellent, the facilities are excellent and there’s everything you need to feel home away from home. The location is also great.<br/><br/>It was not very clean. At first sight, it looks clean but when you look better, you see the furniture surfaces haven’t been dusted, the floor was not properly hoovered and mopped. The chairs and sofa were not cleaned, there were still crumbs all over, as well as on the tables. Inside the bathroom cabinet hasn’t been cleaned either. The cutlery was clean but the tray they were in was not. Also, all cooking trays and tins looked greasy and not washed.

The apartment was absolutely spotless! <br/>The view was spectacular. Shame it was cloudy and rainy. <br/>Very comfy beds!<br/>Very well equipped!<br/>The binoculars were a hit!<br/>The guest book is a brilliant idea and a nice read!<br/><br/>A rug would be nice in a lounge as the floor gets quite cold. Especially when you travel with kids and you want to play on the floor with them.<br/><br/>The seal on the bottom of the shower door bends outwards of the door which causes water to leak onto the bathroom floor quite a lot.

We had a lovely stay at Bellevue Apartment 1. The apartment was beautifully furnished (the Christmas tree was a nice touch), well equipped, spotlessly clean and in an ideal location for visiting nearby family and friends. The hosts (Lynzi and Charlie) were very responsive to any questions and made our first AirBnB experience a breeze. We'll definitely stay again when we're next in the area.

Beautiful apartment overlooking the sea. We had great views of the sea with our morning coffee in bed, it was so therapeutic watching the waves break.<br/>Spotlessly clean everywhere, everything looked brand new. The bed was so comfortable, I had to check out what make the mattress was so I could get one for home, even the pillows too ?<br/>Great base for visiting the race course, only 20 mins walk, lots of pubs and restaurants close by. Lovely sandy beach, great for long walks. Saltburn-by-the- sea and Staithes also worth a visit.<br/>One up cafe was next door, so we didn't need to cook breakfast, highly recommended.<br/>Parking was included in our stay and managed to park right outside which was a bonus.<br/>Thanks for a lovely stay ? <br/>Mandy

This apartment is fantastic, and great value for money. It was comfortable, overlooked the beach, and everything I needed was provided (clothes horse, kitchen roll, coffee pods, and plenty of towels). During the stay I came home to find some extra coffee and toilet roll waiting at the door.<br/><br/>The stairwell leading to the two properties accessed from the entrance door smelled a bit, but I wasn't sure if it was just the other guests or a feature. The layout of the apartment took some getting used to!

The sea view and location is great.<br/>Interior and house setting was modern and so comfortable. Less then 5 mins walk to shops and stations.<br/>Would definitely book again if need be.

Duncan

05/08/2023

The location was outstanding, and I loved being able to watch the tide going in and out from the window. It was close to and convenient for all the shops, restaurants, and pubs too.<br/><br/>The main thing was having to climb up the four flights of steps with our large suitcases. We are staying in England for a whole month, and so have a fair amount of luggage. We probably wouldn’t have booked here if we had realized there were so many steps, and would definitely advise against doing so to anyone with mobility issues. <br/><br/>The other thing worth noting is that whilst the coffee produced by the Nespresso Vertuo machine ?is absolutely delicious, it is not possible to purchase the pods in any stores (they have to be ordered directly online), and the supply of just six pods for a family of four, for a four night stay was disappointing. Had we known beforehand, we would have ordered and brought some more.

Great location. Clean, newly refurbished. Lovely views.<br/><br/>Finding the apartment was a little confusing because the entrance was round the corner from where no one should be and not visible. Also name not on the door. <br/>Double bed in master bedroom bit small <br/>Constantly being emailed by the team the booking team. I must have received at least 10 emails. Had to book damage insurance for an extra £25 which wasn't great.

Marion

Location brilliant, close to everything. Beautiful Apartment,very well equipped with beautiful views of the sea. Very comfortable. All amenities close by.Had a very pleasant stay in this lovely apartment.<br/><br/>Would have liked a personal greeting,but it was fine. Just missed the personal touch. Not really used to picking up key’s from a key box but it wasn’t a problem, probably because I am of an older generation ?

It was lovely to see that there is some one ho cares about their clients who stay in there property and provide everything that you would or should need to stay comfortable away from your home to have the the views of the sea and a convenience of things that are around to make your holiday worth the while<br/><br/>The place being clean tidy all the immediences available including tea coffee and biscuits was just an added touch as well as the views that were amazing

The apartment is superb! <br/>Amazing sea views from every window in the main living and bedroom areas. The lounge is open plan, twinned with a fully stocked kitchen, with all the equipment you need.<br/>The beds are extremely comfortable and there are fans in each room.<br/><br/>The stairs. it wasn’t clear that this was a top floor apartment, which was a struggle as I have spinal injuries and struggle with my mobility - however, the views were worth it and I would definitely book again!

The apartment is beautiful, everything you need and more to make your stay perfect. <br/>Added extras , such as Alexa , wifi and parking permit … made for a really enjoyable stay. All fixtures and fittings were high end and tasteful , the apartment felt very luxurious. They even had a Christmas Tree up which was beautifully decorated and sparkly upon entry. The views from the apartment are absolutely stunning. I can’t rate this apartment highly enough. Book it! You won’t regret it.<br/><br/>My only gripes (and they’d be small) would be with letting agents security deposit/waiver. You get two choices £250 refundable deposit , which you’d lose £10 of anyway (admin charge) or you have an option to pay £25 waiver which covers some accidental damage etc. The deposit shouldn’t include an admin charge and should be clear at point of booking not after. However we did have a minor issue on first night and the booking agent was reached with ease, and the owner was straight out to help. Fantastic service so can sort of forgive the admin charge. <br/> <br/>10am check out felt a touch early and rushed, we didn’t get out till 10:15 … oops! 11am would have been a lot better.

It's definitely got the wow factor as soon as you walk in. The views from the windows (not so much the kitchen one though) are amazing! Overlooking the beach and sea. The place was spotless, very clean and tidy. Good size rooms with comfortable beds. We had to put pressure back in the boiler but there are simple instructions on the boiler itself. The shower took some figuring out. <br>Very close to all the shops and amusements... little 2-5 minutes walk for whatever you need. The perfect location. Good base for exploring the coast. Thank you for a superb stay!

Location was excellent as were the views! Clean and tidy plus had everything we would require. Even a bedroom fan!<br/>The parking permit was so handy. <br/>Details of WiFi and places to go helped but we only read those on the last day.<br/><br/>We ran out of toilet roll and would just expect more than 2 small rolls for 2 couples over 2 days.<br/>The check out time could have been a little later. Maybe 11am in line with industry standards.<br/>I couldn't get the television to work in the main bedroom.

The location was perfect, just across the road from the beach and great views of the sea and wind turbines! The flat was a good size, minimalist and good quality appliances and utensils in the kitchen. Communication about access was very clear and easy to follow. Parking permit was ideal for car parking which would have been difficult on such a busy beach.<br/><br/>Just the noise from the street but to be expected so close to the beach, windows did a good job blocking it out.

Rachel

the flat is beautiful - bright and airy with modern furniture and lots of nice touches like Alexa in the main room, a parking permit to use for on-street parking and a Nespresso machine in the kitchen. The view from the huge front window right across Redcar bay is amazing - sitting drinking coffee and gazing out at the sea each morning was a real pleasure.<br/>The beds were comfortable, the shower was good and there were plenty of towels supplied. I would definitely recommend this property.<br/><br/>just a couple of wee niggles - there was some street noise on Friday and Saturday night from nearby restaurants and clubs. Take earplugs just in case …<br/>And the beds are doubles not king sized - they are very comfortable but something to be aware of if you are used to sleeping in a larger bed.

I can honestly say that this place is by far the best AirBnB we've ever stayed at and we've stayed at quite a few. Location was perfect, decor unreal, cleanliness 1st class, very spacious and the view is unreal. We WILL be going back here for sure. We had a slight problem with the key fob on arrival (probably us being techno phobes) but within maximum 5 minutes Lori was here and sorted it out within seconds. Spot on service and many thanks to Lori ?? thanks for an amazing Bank Holiday weekend away with the kids ? happy travellers, even our 16yr said he had an amazing time and that's rare ??

Very comfy beds … we had a lovely stay and a great time exploring whitby, saltburn and Scarborough. Would definitely recommend.
