Overview
Property code: OC-HH202

Proudly poised in the heart of Swansea, this contemporary third-floor apartment within the gated Marina Villas development is the ultimate bolthole for a romantic city getaway to explore the delights of the city by the sea and the surrounding Gower Peninsula.

After exploring the hidden corners of the Gower Peninsula, retreat to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room of this third-floor apartment to leave the hustle and bustle of the city by the sea behind you and relax for the evening among the soothing neutral colour palette. Rustle up a delicious locally sourced meal in the contemporary kitchen to be enjoyed around the romantic dining table. As the evening draws in, hunker down on the comfy leather sofa and catch your favourite programme on the TV. When you can’t resist the call of bedtime any longer, retire to the spacious double bedroom and enjoy one last unspoilt view over the river from the large picture window. Soak up your idyllic surroundings by dining alfresco on the beautiful balcony terrace with a glass balustrade to admire far-reaching riverside views, sights of boats bobbing along the water and the sounds of the working marina.

Lying on the sandy 5-mile stretch of Swansea Bay beach, the bustling city of Swansea is steeped in waterfront history and breathtaking views of the Gower Peninsula, offering wonderful walks along the coast to fabulous water sports opportunities such as windsurfing and sailing. For a spot of retail therapy, the town centre just under 2 miles away is packed full of independent boutiques, high street shops and restaurants to discover. Lace up your hiking boots and join the walking trail from the seafront promenade to reach the picturesque village of Mumbles 5 miles away and explore its bustling seafront, quintessentially seaside Victorian Pier and historic lighthouse.

It was a beautiful apartment overlooking the sea lock on the river. Upstairs from a cafe and 50m from a brewery (the beer was not to my taste). Exceptionally well appointed and very warm. Probably the best we have stayed at.

The property was lovely and in an interesting location. However, be aware that you have to travel 5 miles extra to pick up the keys. Also the property is next to a busy lock out to sea which made warning noises when it opened and closed.

The property was great but no mention when booking of key collection. It took 1hr 40 minutes round trip on Friday to pick up the key from Mumbles because of the Friday afternoon traffic. Not good when already been driving for 3 and half hours. It took over an hour to drop the key off. It is a ridiculous arrangement. Most properties have a key safe Read moreor somewhere near by to collect the key from. This is not nearby and Home from Home were completely inflexible. Because of this I will not be booking any of your properties again. Hide

Perfect location. Only drawback was the key collection and return arrangements - a central Swansea location would have saved the busy journey into Mumbles to the office.

I love this property as I have stayed here a few times. I cook a lot and unfortunately there is hardly any cooking equipment there at all any more. A baking tray would have been nice. Not a huge problem as next time I will bring my own. Its lovely and warm there too, dont even need to put the heating on. Lovely feeling in the property. The sofa isRead more becoming a little uncomfortable to sit on now, apart from sliding off it all the time its started to sink. Still love it there tho. Location is great for me, loads of walks on your doorstep and a great coffee shop next door. Hide

Well equipped apartment with secure parking, great location and reliable WiFi - I worked a few days during my stay so this was important for me. Apartment was on third floor with lovely views over the marina and the lock just outside so it was nice to watch the boats going in and out. I'd definitely stay again.
