Founded in 2024, Abode Retreats was born from a clear and straightforward mission: to become the greatest holiday let management company in the East of England. The journey began when Lyster Romero, the founder, took on two properties with the aim of transforming them into successful short-term lets. Naturally, he began searching for a management company to handle the day-to-day operations. What he found was disappointing—poor communication, a lack of attention to detail, and struggles to even secure basic essentials. If this was the standard for property owners, it raised a serious question: What kind of experience were guests receiving? It was clear that something had to change. With that, Abode Retreats was established. From day one, the mission has been simple but ambitious: to set a new standard for property management, one where homeowners are valued and guests are truly welcomed. Why Choose Abode Retreats? We’re a young company, driven by ambition and grounded by strong principles. Our commitment is twofold: For Homeowners: We provide transparent communication, meticulous property care, and seamless management that allows you to maximise your investment without the headaches. For Guests: We create memorable stays with exceptional service, beautiful properties, and attention to every detail. We believe that great service isn’t just a promise—it’s our practice. Abode Retreats isn’t just about managing properties; it’s about redefining what it means to feel at home, even when you’re away. With our growing portfolio across East Anglia, we’re setting the benchmark for what exceptional property management should look like.

The property has recently undergone a full refurbishment, and with the large number of contractors we've had on site, one thing they've all agreed on is that the location is fantastic and the size of the property is truly impressive. Couple that with the stylish makeover, and you’ve got a home that is not only spacious but beautifully appointed. The house is fully equipped with a state-of-the-art kitchen featuring a coffee machine, washer-dryer, and dishwasher, making it perfect for both short stays and longer getaways. Two Living Rooms – Space to Socialise and Unwind This home boasts two distinct living spaces to suit your mood. The main living room is bright, airy, and perfect for social gatherings, with plenty of seating for the whole family to relax and enjoy each other’s company. In contrast, the snug is deliberately designed to be warm and cosy, with soft ambient lighting that makes it ideal for curling up with a good book or enjoying a quiet moment with a blanket. Whether you want a bright space for socialising or a cosy corner to unwind, this property offers the best of both worlds. Beautifully Themed Bedrooms Each of the three bedrooms has been thoughtfully designed with its own unique theme: The Master Bedroom – Inspired by the coast, this room features a king-size bed and a modern en-suite bathroom, creating the perfect sanctuary after a day of exploring. The Ember Red Room – Bold yet sophisticated, this stunning room includes a king-size bed dressed in crisp white linen, adding a touch of luxury to your stay. The Sage Green Room – Decorated in calming tones, this spacious room features two double beds, ideal for families or larger groups looking for both comfort and style. This property isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a home designed for relaxation, socialising, and making lasting memories. Whether you're curled up in the snug with a good book or enjoying family time in the bright living room, you’ll feel right at home from the moment you arrive.

One of the most charming aspects of staying in this Southwold cottage is the neighbourhood itself. Many of the locals have called Southwold home for decades, with some even having lived in this very property before! There’s a genuine sense of community here—your immediate neighbours have a deep-rooted connection to the area and a passion for its well-being, almost as if it’s part of their own family. The Best of Both Worlds Southwold has a unique rhythm to it. By day, it’s a bustling seaside town, alive with the energy of families heading to the beach, couples exploring the High Street, and locals enjoying a catch-up at the cafés. The pier buzzes with activity, and the shops are full of life. But as the sun sets, the pace shifts entirely. Southwold transforms into a peaceful retreat, with quiet streets and a serene atmosphere that almost feels like stepping back in time. It’s the perfect balance—lively and vibrant during the day, calm and tranquil at night. For those seeking a mix of coastal charm and restful evenings, you’ll find it right here in the heart of Southwold.
