SURROUNDINGS
Osea Island, situated in the Blackwater Estuary in Essex, England, is a pristine and secluded destination known for its natural beauty, historical significance, and exclusive retreats. This island spans approximately 400 acres, offering unspoiled landscapes of salt marshes, woodlands, and sandy shores. The island's rich history is reflected in the Victorian-era Manor House and the peaceful ambience that pervades the entire area. Visitors can indulge in various activities, from leisurely beach strolls to water sports, making Osea Island a perfect escape for those seeking serenity, seclusion, and a glimpse into the past. Please note that Osea Island is entirely self-catered, with no access to shops or restaurants, so visitors should bring their own provisions.
TRANSPORT
● There is free parking available.
Accessing Osea Island:
Travelling by Car: Since Osea Island is accessible via a tidal causeway, we recommend contacting us for precise directions and guidance regarding the best times for your journey. When crossing, use the Osea Island leisure park's address (CM9 4SA) for your satellite navigation system.
Using the Train: Commence your journey at Liverpool Street Station and go to Witham Station, which is less than 50 minutes from the city. A pre-booked taxi service can transport you to Osea Island from there. Please contact us at enquiries@oseaisland.co.uk (during Monday to Friday office hours) for assistance.
Arriving by Helicopter: The closest airfield is Battersea, just a 20-minute flight from the island.
Opting for a Water Taxi: To ensure a smooth arrival, you can arrange for a water taxi in advance to transport you to Osea Island. There is a parking lot where you can leave your car.
✈ Nearest airports:
London Stansted Airport: a 1-hour and 4-minute drive
London City Airport: a 1-hour and 21-minute drive
NOTES
∗Osea Island is accessible via a mile-long tidal road for 4 hours every 12 hours when the tide is low. At high tide, access is possible by water taxi. During daylight hours, access is possible by helicopter. A Tide Time chart and specific driving instructions will be provided once your booking has been confirmed.
∗Osea Island is self-catering, and there are fully-equipped kitchens in each cottage to support this. We recommend purchasing as much of your required groceries as possible before you arrive. However, Ocado will cross the causeway and deliver to the island if you select a one-hour delivery window within the low tide.
∗Pets are welcome on this property, but please bring food and any essentials for your furry friend, as the island has no stores.
∗WiFi is available in most properties on the island and is powered by mobile 4G routers. Due to our remote location, the WiFi can occasionally prove temperamental. We ask guests to please refrain from using the WiFi for streaming purposes.
∗Osea Island supplies firewood/logs for any property, including a working fireplace or wood burner.
∗The heated outdoor swimming pool is open from April to October.
∗Outside barbecues are permitted, and guests may bring their own.
∗Please note that the beds are in standard UK size.
∗Please note that JOIVY is not responsible or liable for any lost, misplaced or stolen items during guest stays.
⚡ In light of the current situation, we kindly ask our guests to consume electricity and gas mindfully. Please note we will add an additional charge for excessive energy usage.
HOUSE RULES
JOIVY wants you to have a fantastic stay, and we encourage you to see this property as a home away from home. There are, however, a few points we politely ask guests to note before their arrival and throughout their stay:
– Strictly no smoking within the properties.
– Dispose of rubbish appropriately.
– Keep the property clean and tidy.
– Whilst washing up and stripping the beds at check-out would be appreciated, it is by no means expected.
– Quiet hours are between 10 PM and 9 AM. So please keep the noise down and respect the neighbours.
– Please remember to close all windows and doors when leaving.
– Careful attention to the keys is extremely important. Guests are responsible for any additional costs resulting from misplaced keys or locksmith call-outs.
– To ensure the safety of our current and future guests, we ask all guests to complete our online check-in form and to provide a valid form of identification.
