Great holiday, benefits from free parking . Could not ask for a better location just yards from the beach. Plenty of places to eat and drink locally. Will definitely book again 💯

Absolutely stunning seafront accommodation with a fantastic view of Shanklin. The apartment was really comfortable with 2 good bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a large open plan kitchen / lounge. Furnishings were stylish and comfortable and all kitchen equipment etc. was supplied (although there were no champagne flutes, so I bought a couple and left them there as that balcony deserves a special drink). The parking space was a bonus and made everything so convenient. This is the best accommodation I have stayed in and would 100% return.
