Riva Eardley
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.

Perfectly situated right there on the esplanade with gorgeous sunny sea and beach views from the living room and balcony. Good off street parking space and lift to 2nd floor. The beach, plenty of eating places, amusements and ice cream available just a stones throw away.
