Have stayed here a few times, and always find it relaxing and comfortable, one of our favourite places, we live in shanklin, and just like to stop somewhere to put our feet up and relax, with a different view

This was a lovely 2 bed flat. Although there was no parking with the flat, we bought a weekly pas from the council and managed to find a space on the seafront opposite the flat every day. There are larger car parks a short walk away. Good range of kitchen equipment which made cooking easy. Undercounter fridge and separate freezer. Beds were comfy with good storage. Had a few games for the kids. Beach was shingle. A few restaurants and small shops on the seafront. It was a great base to explore the island. There was a smell in the kitchen from a previous guest and the host made every effort posible to sort it and communicated well. Would stay here again.

An amazing apartment with a fantastic location. The home felt really cosy and comfortable. Every amenity needed was available. The bedrooms were spotlesly clean and beds really comfortable. We had a brilliant stay and will definitely be back.
