Frinton Beach Escape | Patio, BBQ & Garden

Frinton Beach Escape is a bright, modern coastal flat just 5 minutes from one of Essex's most characterful beaches - with both a front patio with BBQ and a larger rear relaxing space that make it feel more like a cottage than a flat. Two bedrooms sleep up to 6, with a fully equipped kitchen and fast WiFi throughout. Pet-friendly. One of the best-rated properties on the Essex coast. Managed by SIB Properties.

Frinton-on-Sea is one of Essex's most quietly distinctive seaside towns - a charming place that has retained its atmosphere of the 1920s and 30s, with tree-lined avenues sweeping down to the Esplanade and clifftop greensward, linked by a rainbow of Victorian-style beach huts. It's the kind of place that has resisted the arcade and fast food strip that changed everywhere else on this coast, and guests who find it tend to come back year after year.

Connaught Avenue is the main street for independent shops and cafés - Fred's Café is a local favourite for breakfast and lunch, and the avenue has enough to occupy a relaxed morning without ever feeling like a tourist trap. Frinton Summer Theatre has been entertaining visitors since 1934 with professional repertory theatre on the Essex coast - worth checking the programme if you're visiting in season. The golf course sits just back from the greensward for anyone who wants a round with a sea breeze.


Walton-on-the-Naze and its pier are a short drive for a more traditional seaside day out, Clacton is equally close, and Colchester is around 15 miles away for a day trip inland to Britain's oldest recorded town.

The whole place will be yours to enjoy a slice a seaside life or warm up after exploring the beach and nearby walks!

Frinton-on-Sea does things differently to most Essex coastal towns - no amusement arcades, no fast food strip, no pier crowds. Instead, a protected greensward running along the clifftop, a beach of fine sand backed by beach huts, and a town that has quietly resisted the kind of development that changed everywhere else. It's the kind of place guests come back to year after year, and Frinton Beach Escape puts you 200m from all of it.

The flat has been finished to a modern, beach-chic standard that suits its setting well - bright interiors, considered touches throughout, and a layout that feels generous for two bedrooms. A king in the main bedroom and a double in the second, with a sofa bed in the living space for up to 6 guests in total.

What makes this flat genuinely unusual is the outdoor space. A front patio with a BBQ gives you a spot for morning coffee or an evening cook, while a larger rear garden area provides a more relaxed, private space to unwind after a day on the beach. For a ground floor coastal flat, having outdoor space front and back is rare - and it's one of the things that elevates this well above a standard seaside rental.

Inside, the open-plan kitchen and living area is fully equipped for proper cooking and comfortable evenings in. Fast WiFi throughout and a well-appointed modern bathroom round out the practical side. The property is pet-friendly, which combined with Frinton's long, relatively quiet beach makes it particularly well suited to guests travelling with dogs - there is a dog friendly area year round too.

The beach is 200m away. The greensward, coastal path and Frinton's independent cafés and shops are equally close. Walton-on-the-Naze and its pier are a short drive, as is Clacton for a more traditional seaside day out. Colchester - Britain's oldest recorded town - is under 30 minutes for a day trip inland.
