Sunset View, a splendid fifth-floor apartment is situated on the fringes of Castletown in Portland, Dorset.

Boasting direct sea views and overlooking Portland Castle which situated on the edge of the water, this fantastic position is close to a wide range of services, the beach, and the marina.

As well as a contemporary interior, a private balcony and reserved parking, Sunset View makes for the perfect home base for a seaside getaway.

Prepare meals in the well-equipped kitchen, dine in as a four-person party, and unwind on the stylish sofa while looking out at the coastal vistas; alternatively, take advantage of the private balcony to fully appreciate your surroundings, enjoy alfresco dining, unwinding for the evening with a cold glass of wine in your hand whilst admiring the amazing sunsets.

When sleep calls, choose between two double bedrooms, both with direct access to the balcony, with the master enjoying its own en-suite shower room, ideal for winding down at the end of a long day.

Completing the property is a sleek family bathroom, where you can soak your tired legs with a soak in the tub or enjoy a revitalising shower.

Visit the D-Day Museum which is a popular attraction in Castletown, just a 5 minute walk away or continue walking to enjoy the 18-mile stretch of Chesil Beach, which is also a haven for water sports and wildlife viewing.

The Cove House Inn on Chesil Beach is a 15 minute walk away where you can sit outside and revel in the spectacular views whilst enjoying an evening meal.

If you'd rather spend the day having fun, head to Weymouth and its shoreline of attractions, which include the Weymouth Museum, Alexandra Gardens amusement park, Nothe Fort, RSPB Radipole Lake, and SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth.

The county seat of Dorchester, which is also home to other attractions, can be reached by travelling via the Dorset AONB.
