Lovely apartment with the extra added delight of a balcony overlooking Shanklin beach. Loved that we could view the sea from the sofas’ too. Just one thing I would suggest is changing the Shower heads to something bigger

I have returned from my holiday relaxed and refreshed. Bay View had absolutely everything I needed for an amazing autumn break. The location is perfect, with Shanklin Chine a few steps away and that incredible view to wake up to every morning.The apartment is extremely well equipped, the beds are super comfy, and accessibility is really good. There was nothing more I could have wanted.
