Superb Carnoustie Rental

This striking bespoke-designed’ cabin offers a rare chance to stay right on the sand in the seaside town of Carnoustie. Built on the site of a former boathouse, it makes the most of its spectacular position with panoramic views along the Angus coastline, making it a dream for sea-loving couples or solo travellers. Carnoustie is internationally renowned for its Championship golf course, which has hosted The Open eight times – but there's plenty more to enjoy beyond the fairways. Sandy beaches stretch in both directions, with scenic coastal walks leading to Easthaven (1.5 miles). History lovers can visit Barry Mill (3 miles), a beautifully preserved water-powered mill. For a change of pace, Broughty Ferry (10 miles) tempts with stylish cafes, restaurants and independent shops, while Dundee (13 miles) is home to the V&A Museum alongside excellent shopping and dining.

You'll enter this timber-clad hideaway via the side entrance. Inside, everything is designed around light, simplicity and those unforgettable views. The open-plan living space is furnished in a minimalist style, meaning the sea and sky take centre stage thanks to the huge windows. A comfortable sofa, dining table and Smart TV are all ready for you to sit and relax or eat as you watch the tide roll in and out. The compact kitchenette has everything you need for easy holiday meals. A door from the living area opens directly onto the beach, so you can take spontaneous shoreline strolls whenever it takes your fancy. When it's time for a good night's sleep, head up the gorgeous wooden staircase to reach the king-size bedroom. This has a stunning picture window framing the coastline – so you'll have to-die-for views to wake up to – and a Juliet balcony so you can let in the fresh sea air. The modern shower room completes the space.

Private parking is available for one car. While there's no garden at this property, direct access onto the sandy beach means pretty fresh-air spots abound just by stepping outside.
