About this property

Midrock is a truly exceptional architecturally designed eco beach house. It has won awards for its design and functionality. Located right on Ruby Bay beach it is only a few minutes walk from The Ship Inn, Elie Beach and the water sports center. The house has amazing views and is consequently very bright and airy. Its extremely comfortable winter or summer and gives you loads of space to relax in. The Bothy is attached to the house but separated by the hallway so a great place for teenagers

Perfect

What a fantastic place! Amazing views, wonderful sunsets, easy living. This house is just superb and it's one of those places that makes you want to keep coming back time and time again, which we will. Great facilities for a family holiday or a trip with friends alike. Tucked away in your own private world but only minutes away from the pub! Booking, arrival and departure (those annoying holiday things) are all effortless - leaving you with the view and the time to sit back and relax. Go there, now. Just perfect.

Heaven

I want to live here all the year round. Wild grasses are waving and wild waves are crashing just below the house and we, inside the glass walls are as warm as toast. Next day, the tide is out, the beach is golden, the Forth is calm and the sun is streaming in....and every night the lighthouse flashes from the point. "Chust sublime" Great kitchen too.

A Wonderful House

We have just spent a week in this totally amazing house perched as it is above the beach of Ruby Bay at Elie. The design of the house is fascinating. Nothing can quite beat a huge expanse of glass overlooking an even more immense expanse of sea and sky. Whatever the weather we were warm and cosy and comfortable. There are many clever and original features such as “the snug” with its own television and “the Bothy” which is linked to the main house and which would be ideal for children and teenagers. We found there were so many places nearby to visit, with the Fife Coastal Path right on the doorstep. As it was winter we did not try the outdoor shower or the huge drying room for wetsuits but they will be great in the summertime. There must be few holiday houses by the sea anywhere in the UK to equal this one.

The most amazing house

If this house does not make you love contemporary design, then nothing will. It is just a little raised above the beach giving the most amazing and ever changing panorama, yet with complete privacy. You could spend all day and evening on the deck. The house has masses of internal space and is so easy to live in In seconds you could be on the beach, or the pier, or heading towards one of the excellent local hostelries. This is a really lovely house and so safe for children.
