The Beach Boathouse - Sea Views & Golf Courses
Beach Boathouse is a distinctive former lifeboat house located directly on the shoreline in the coastal hamlet of Westhaven, beside Carnoustie. Set at the end of a row of traditional fishermen’s cottages, the property sits right on the sand with uninterrupted views across the bay.
With the beach just steps from the door, it is an ideal place to relax by the sea. Guests can watch the water from the large picture window in the lounge or enjoy the coastal views from the balcony, where dolphins are occasionally spotted passing along the shoreline.
The property is also within walking distance of Carnoustie town centre, where you will find local shops, cafés and pubs, as well as the well known Carnoustie Golf Links.
Living Space
The heart of the home is the bright open plan lounge and dining area overlooking the beach. A large picture window fills the room with natural light and frames the view across the bay.
Comfortable seating and a log burner create a relaxed setting for evenings indoors, while the handmade dining table provides seating for up to eight guests.
Kitchen and Dining
The modern kitchen is fully equipped for self catering during your stay. Whether preparing simple meals or cooking together as a group, the kitchen and dining space provides everything needed for practical and comfortable living.
Doors from the living area open onto a private balcony where guests can sit with a morning coffee or enjoy the sea air in the evening.

Magical Location
Wonderful property in a perfect location. If you want to be hyper critical you might want to complain about the furniture and kitchen facilities being in need of an upgrade, but if you want to enjoy your vacation, these are such minor issues that shouldn’t bother you at all.Our USA and U.K. children and grandchildren had a “whale of a time” and we would not hesitate to return.

Boathouse Review
Fantastic setting and great house. Only drawback was that “laundry facilities” did not include a dryer so we had to find an open laundromat to get our clothes dry.

Carnoustie and beyond
My family come from Carnoustie area so know it well. We came up from Manchester for a break and a special family gathering . Friends came too who never visited before and they were over the moon with the house and surrounding areas .
The Beach BoatHouse made the trip just that little bit more special. Highly recommended.

Wonderful Seaside Beach House
We absolutely loved our stay. The house was clean, comfortable, and inviting. There were all of the amenities that we could ever need and the view we woke up to each morning was priceless. And the location afforded both convenience and walkability to town. It was wonderful fornour grouo of 4 adults and two kids.
