"A lovely little apartment in a beautiful area We had a lovely stay"
-
"Excellent property with amazing sea and port views."
And the beach is good for sea swimming and the promenade is accessible and goes all the way round to Harwich one way and out onto salt marshes the other. Own parking spot and clear instructions for access. We really enjoyed our stay here.
-
"Perfect location for a wonderful holiday."
The views and balcony are a real bonus. Everything you need is in the apartment and beach 1 minute away and ideal for walking.

"A very pleasant stay at Flat 19 by the Beach ."
The views over to Felixstowe with the container vessels were great . The flat was so quiet and well equipped and a bonus to have a secure parking space . Great to have two bathrooms and everything was lovely and clean . Nice to have a welcome gift much appreciated .We was having works done at home and it made for a pleasant stay and we both slept so well . Thank you again we would have no qualms in booking or recommending flat 19 for future bookings .

"Excellent apartment with fine view across the water to Felixstowe."

"Pros: Number 19 is spacious, very clean, and comfortable, especially the bed."
Car parking is very good and secure, although the layout of allocated spaces is strange. Good view from the balcony across the water to Felixstowe. Cons: The toaster is hopeless!! It would be useful if the fused switches in the kitchen were labelled as it took us a while to work out that the dish washer was on the same circuit as the plinth lighting. Buttons on the washing machine had been pushed in, but we were able to release them slightly by carefully using a knife. This should be looked at. Also, the cabinet door is attached directly to the washing machine, so when the machine moves when spinning (adjust feet?), the cabinet door goes out of allignment with the cabinet. The drainage on the shower cubicle is poor and would probably benefit from some drain unblocker liquid. My partner found the towels rough, and she resorted to using her beach towel in the bathroom. The main photo in the listing is misleading since number 19 is actually in the block behind the one shown. We were only informed of this once we had booked, although careful scrutiny of the other photos give clues to the actual location. Overall number 19 is a good place to stay, with the sand & stone beach just across a quiet road, and a reasonable bar/restaurant next door. Redoubt Fort just up the road in Harwich is well worth a visit. We enjoyed our stay and would have given 5 stars were it not for the little maintenance issues.

"We loved this place."
It has great views out to sea and across to the port. Excellent location for exploring the coastline. Secure gated parking a bonus. Very easy key pick up. Would definitely stay there again.
-
"We found Flat 19 to be of a very high standard in regard to cleanliness and comfort and with safe parking."
Lovely views of the sea and good for walking. Perfect. H.

-
"Loved our stay at Flat 19, such a comfy and cosy place to come back to after a day of exploring."
Will stay again as we have family close by.
-
"Flat 19 was the best place to be during the second heatwave with a lovely cool breeze from the sea."
Great views, good for long walks and a quick swim in the sea. Unfortunately we did not get to enjoy the balcony because our first attempt to have lunch there was spoilt by bird droppings from the apartement above. Don't expect allot can be done about that. We will be back later in the year.

"Great apartment in a great location."
Views over to Felixstowe are lovely and the beach is just across the road. Only suggestion is that both showers need descaling - nozzles outlets were partially blocked with scale leading to water going in all directions.
-
"Loved watching the shipping coming and going and the flat walks along the seafront"
-
"Thank you for an amazing stay."
The apartment was perfect in every way (10 out of 10) & recommend to family/ friends. Thanks again.

"Perfect location for beach lovers and for exploring Harwich."
From the front door of our building I counted 150 steps before hitting the beach! Accomodation was clean, light, airy and relaxing. Would definitely return.

"Lovely position, clean and well kept, maybe a bit more crockery and pans, also ..."
Lovely position, clean and well kept, maybe a bit more crockery and pans, also broom and dustpan, but overall very enjoyable
-
"Holiday flat was lovely, felt very clean and comfortable, furnishings, bedding and towels of great quality."
Secure parking which is an added bonus when on holiday making loading and unloading the car easy. Fantastic location next to a dog friendly beach and great for walks. Enjoyed discovering the local Banksy and good food shopping locally. Plenty of lovely seaside towns to explore and great for student kids to hop on the train to Ipswich and Colchester to escape from mum, dad and dog who had the best time of all!! A vacuum cleaner would have been helpful, a potato peeler and a teapot! Apart from that the flat was very well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend. Very quiet location.

In the sitting area, you'll find a plush sofa to sink into and watch TV; in the morning, you can head out to the neighbouring balcony and enjoy views of the sunrise.
After days along the sandy coast, pack the washing machine with sandy towels and step into the family bathroom; the heated rail will keep your towel toasty, while you freshen up in the bath or shower over!
The master king-size is ideal for a couple, enjoying sunset views through the window and benefiting from access to it's own en-suite shower room, whilst the twin room can sleep two adults or two little ones.
With Harwich on your doorstep, take a break from the kitchen at dine at The Waterfront Harwich or The Pier Hotel, or stock up at the local convenience store, while local attractions include the Blue Flag award-winning Dovercourt Beach, Dovercourt Boating Lake for renting canoes and kayaks, and historic attractions such as Harwich Redoubt Fort and Ha'penny Pier.
