Half-term break
Lovely 4 day stay in this wonderful apartment located in the North Bay. The apartment is ideally located for the beach and some great local cafes. We parked the car on check in and was great to have 4 days to just walk, enjoy the beach and the local attractions. The apartment is modern, really well maintained and Sue has provided lots of little extras to make your stay a home away from home. We would definitely book again.

Fantastic apartment
This extremely clean apartment has everything you need for a short break. It's in a wonderful location overlooking the sea in North Bay and about a 15 minute walk into Scarborough Town centre. Communication with Sue was effortless and her instructions for checking in were very clear. We had a great weekend and wouldn't hesitate to use this apartment again.

Great Accommodation in Scarborough
Stayed in this apartment for 3 nights, great location near to Peasholm Park. Host met with us on check in to show us around the apartment where to find things etc. Apartment had its own private parking space. Apartment was immaculate there was tea coffee and sugar and other bits and pieces for us to use. Great view of Scarborough Castle and Bay - would highly recommend.

A well equipped 2 bed 2 bath apartment.
We spent two weeks at Royal Sands and enjoyed our stay very much. The two bedroom/two bathroom apartment is very well equipped and very comfortable. While there were only two of us the apartment was large enough to entertain family members who came to visit.
Sue, the owner, is very accessible and responded to text messages very quickly. A small bottle of milk was in the fridge when we arrived and basics such as tea, coffee, sugar, salt & pepper lasted us for the two weeks. The apartment is equipped with an elevator and a secure designated parking space. A bonus in this area.
A gorgeous view of the North Sea and Scarborough Castle from the living room and eating area.
A small grocery shop is close by that carries a wide selection of goods. A pub and cafe are just steps away from the front door and last but not least North Bay Fisheries is a short walk away and sell excellent fish & Chips!
