A quirky little place to kick off your shoes and get comfy, Shack Ahoy offers a unique stay in the beautiful seaside town of Bridport. This quaint and comfortable little abode is our place; it’s furnished with our things and decorated to our taste! This is where we come to escape the demands of daily life. To walk on the sand, to allow the briny sea air to enliven our senses, to splash in the waves, to connect with the natural world. Shack Ahoy offers a mix of new and old. The space Tastefully renovated with a brand new bathroom complete with rain head shower and handheld spout, a Scandinavian-made leather recliner and footstool, newly renovated kitchen with a stone sink and quality mixer, sumptuous bed linen (definitely not the standard hotel sheets), and quality appliances, Books, cutlery, crockery, throws, and an eclectic mix of vintage furniture are our own, collected over the years, finding their place here, in our own little seaside refuge. Grab the beach bag we keep at hand to enjoy a morning down on the beach; take a weatherproof coat from the hook for those drizzly days that are just perfect for a short stroll down to a local cafe for coffee and cake. Our little kitchen provides all you need to whip up simple meals at home; or else venture out to make the most of Bridport’s cafes, take-aways, or summer food vans. With views of the ocean from the main living space (combined kitchen, dining and lounge), you can sit down to breakfast and take in oceans mood of the day. From the bedroom, look out over the constantly moving Brid River; see the fishing boats coming and going, the tides washing in and receding back out to sea. Take a stroll around the large block. A shaded outdoor space with table and chairs provides a comfortable place for outdoor dining (complete with Weber bbq) and the opportunity to take in the panoramic views of sea and distant mountains. If you don’t mind snuggling up under an old woollen blanket, complete with a few little holes, sipping a GnT from Nans crystal glasses… if you like to thumb through the pages of books read a hundred times before… if you enjoy taking tea in pastel coloured china of years gone by… then this is the place for you. Unpretentious, relaxed, functional, intimate, romantic… Shack Ahoy! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Mixer - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Near the ocean - On a river - On the waterfront ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/78000000/77070000/77065400/77065369/af338e49.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Opposite Beaches - Short Walk to Shops & Eateries Bridport - Microwave 8.8 Excellent 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-19&endDate=2026-01-20&selected=77065369&PinnedHotelID=77065369&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108810000/108806100/108806047/2b82c8c0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious 4-Bed Coastal Retreat with Ocean Views Bridport - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-19&endDate=2026-01-20&selected=108806047&PinnedHotelID=108806047&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Living area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73730000/73729300/73729280/e83db58d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bridport Sunrise Escape Bridport - Outdoor space - Barbecue grill 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-19&endDate=2026-01-20&selected=73729280&PinnedHotelID=73729280&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32820000/32813500/32813469/w1920h1198x0y0-89f9625f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxurious Spectacular Holiday Living Bridport - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 47 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-19&endDate=2026-01-20&selected=32813469&PinnedHotelID=32813469&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70070000/70061600/70061564/ce8ece6e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Magic Views - Great for families with children Bridport - Kitchen - Outdoor space - Barbecue grill - Microwave 9.8 Exceptional 16 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-19&endDate=2026-01-20&selected=70061564&PinnedHotelID=70061564&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Cottage, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms | Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/24000000/23910000/23903000/23902942/98d41216.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Derby Digs Cottage Derby - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Parking included 7.0 Good 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-19&endDate=2026-01-20&selected=23902942&PinnedHotelID=23902942&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117780000/117777300/117777277/62cdb874.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beach Daze - more than a beach house!
