About this house rental
Sea View Cottage is a charming, cosy former fisherman’s home, perfectly positioned in the heart of Scarborough between the two bays. Dating back to the 1850s, it’s full of character and traditional charm. From the cottage, it’s just a ten-minute stroll to the award-winning sandy beaches and promenade, or to the lively town centre. The upstairs bedroom boasts spectacular sea views, reminding you just how close you are to the beautiful seafront.
Recently refurbished, the cottage blends its original features with modern comforts, stylish décor, and thoughtful touches throughout. It’s an ideal base for couples and families exploring this stunning stretch of the Yorkshire Coast, and a wonderful haven for walkers and cyclists, with scenic cliff-top paths and cycle routes nearby.
Inside, the accommodation includes an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with an electric fire, HD/Freeview TV with built-in DVD player, electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, slimline dishwasher, and a washing machine located in the outhouse. The bathroom offers both a walk-in electric shower and a bath with a mixer tap. The second-floor bedroom can be set up as either a super-king or twin beds to suit your needs. WiFi is also available.
Scarborough has everything you need for a memorable holiday. Enjoy a family day out at the Sea Life Centre, hop aboard a pleasure cruise, speedboat, or fishing trip, or explore the historic Scarborough Castle just a few hundred yards away. The renowned open-air theatre — the largest in Europe — hosts fantastic events throughout the year. There’s plenty for all ages, from Alpamare’s indoor/outdoor waterpark to golf, fishing, indoor go-karting, bowling, cinemas, and more.
A short drive brings you to the historic town of Whitby, where you can catch the North Yorkshire Moors steam train for a spectacular journey through the Esk Valley to Goathland and Pickering. Other nearby coastal gems such as Robin Hood’s Bay, Sandsend, Staithes, and Runswick Bay are also well worth visiting.
You can even enjoy a day trip to York — a beautiful city filled with history, museums, excellent restaurants, and wonderful shopping opportunities

10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The property was spotless, cosy and had everything needed for our mini break. We enjoyed staying at the quieter side of Scarborough and seeing things we never have before. The only criticism, was the mattresses were very uncomfortable, something easily rectified.

6 / 10Average·Jun 2025
Basic accommodation, ie. one roll f toilet paper. Everything we needed, but “tired” and could do with new mattress, slip covers on old furniture, lighter paint, brighter light bulbs. Renters should be prepared for a challenging walk. Very friendly, helpful neighbour. Put out maps of town and suggestions for food, transportation, places to see. Wanted to communicate with owner, requested through VRBO early, but she only replied within hours of checkin. Felt she didn’t really care about our stay. I would never treat a guest with such little care.
