Retraite élégante à Elie Beach avec vue sur mer et terrasse ensoleillée

SOUTH SANDS is a much-loved three-bed beach house in Elie, just moments from the golden sandy beach perfect for morning swims, beach walks, and relaxed days by the sea. Set along South Street in the heart of the East Neuk, it’s perfectly placed for easy strolls to the deli, bakery, the popular Ship Inn, and the village golf course.
Wake up to sea views and the sound of the waves in this beautifully styled coastal home, just moments from the beach. Designed in soft, calming tones that reflect the surrounding coastline, the house blends relaxed seaside charm with contemporary comfort creating the perfect retreat for families, couples, and friends looking for a peaceful escape by the sea.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

Upstairs you’ll find two spacious king bedrooms, both light-filled and restful. One enjoys sweeping views across the sea and sandy beach, while the second overlooks the peaceful back garden and features its own ensuite shower room. Plush carpets add comfort underfoot, and a chic family bathroom with a lovely sea view completes the upper floor.

On the ground floor, a bright garden-facing bedroom with two single beds is perfect for children or friends sharing. There’s also a handy cloakroom by the front door.

Cosy Living Spaces

The welcoming sitting room is a relaxing place to unwind after a day at the beach, with comfortable seating and a cosy log burner for cooler evenings.

Families are well catered for, with a hidden selection of toys for younger guests and a charming little reading nook beside the kitchen stocked with book favourites and a perfect spot for quiet moments or bedtime stories.

Kitchen & Dining

At the heart of the home is a bright, spacious dining kitchen overlooking the herb garden. The traditional AGA brings warmth and character, ideal for slow holiday breakfasts, pancake mornings, or drying socks after a windswept beach walk.

A large dining table with bench seating makes this a sociable hub of the house perfect for family meals, games, and long conversations after a day exploring the coast.

Garden & Outdoor Living

Step through the back door and you’ll discover a lovely hidden garden. The herb garden invites you to pick fresh botanicals for a gin and tonic, while steps lead up to a sunny, sheltered garden that becomes a wonderful sun trap even on breezy coastal days.

The two-tier deck is designed for relaxed outdoor living. The lower level features a long dining table, benches, and a kettle barbecue — perfect for alfresco meals. Above, the sun deck offers an inviting L-shaped sofa, sun loungers, and a bench, creating the perfect space to relax with a book, enjoy evening drinks, or soak up the sunshine after a day at the beach.
