OK, so before I continue......this is not at the Sands Development (I must remember to read the address properly!!!)
So after my initial disappointment of not being able to sit on a balcony whilst sipping a lovely glass of pinot grigio and being able to totter down to the pub below in my heels I saw this apartment for what it was......a lovely spacious 2 bedroom holiday rental which is very clean and has everything that you need......Egyptian cotton bedding, sea views, bath and shower, tv/video, fully fitted kitchen and 2 good sized bedrooms. The owner Sue is lovely and so welcoming and informative.
This apartment is 1st class and definitely worth a visit. It on the hillside just above the waterfront café so you are only a 5 minute walk to the beach and even with 2 chairs, bodyboards, windbreak, picnic, etc, etc it wasn't too strenuous a walk back up the hill (especially if you get your 12 year old son to carry the windbreak!). We travelled as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 boys) and it is perfectly situated to leave your car parked up for the duration as you are only a 10 minute walk into the town with all it's restaurants and shops.
We will definitely return and would definitely recommend this apartment. :-)

This is a nice apartment equally well placed for North and South bay as well as getting further afield to explore the coast or the Moors. We got s warm welcome from the owner who was good enough to meet us a lot later than expected due to travel delays. The secure off road parking is a great addition as it can get very busy, especially in high season. The apartment is very well appointed and everything works well. The owners left quality tea and coffee and also started us off with a pint of milk which was a nice touch. There is a lifet which is helpful with luggage but otherwise only a couple flights of stairs to negotiate in terms of accessibility. There is a large light an airy lounge / kitchen / diner with uninterrupted views of the bay and castle headland. In the living room a nice LCD TV and a selection of books and DVD's which we didn't get a chance to use but nice to have for rainy days or lazy days for longer stays. We would definitely return again and would recommend happily.

What a beautiful apartment in a great location 5mins from Peasholm park at the north shore of Scarborough but only 15mins walk into town, great views of the castle and beach,sea the binoculars were very helpful too......lol. The apartment is tastefully decorated to a very high standard it has everything you could possibly need, from lovely bed linen and fresh towels down to tea towels and dishclothes, even tea and coffee, it really was a home from home. The owners have another 2 apartments in Filey which we have used which are equally as good.....can't wait for our next weekend away, thanks again Sue.

In January we originally booked to stay at The Beacon in Filey for my birthday weekend. Due to a burst water pipe the apartment was so badly damaged that Sue (the owner) had to cancel our booking. Due to the short notice Sue did offer us a complimentary stay at The Beacon when it was back up and running though and true to her word she did, however the weekend we wanted was already booked. Sue did say that she had just started renting out her other property in Scarborough if we wished to stay there so we accepted and had the apartment from 24th - 27th May 2013.
What can I say, the apartment was fantastic, clean, easily accessible (lift access for people with disabilities) and came equipped with everyting we could have wished for and the views over the North Bay beaches and Scarborough Castle were amazing!!
Sue provided parking passes so we could park the car up with no hassle at all and did so for the full weekend, we walked everywhere as we were so close to everything. The Hollywood Plaza Cinema is literally next door and so is the local pub, there is also a small convenience store directly opposite which sold all the basics you might need for your stay.
All in all it was a perfect apartment in a perfect location and we will definately be going back to stay again.
Thank you to Sue, Lynne and Helen for making us feel so welcome x x
