It's a small world

flat all ready and stocked with the food and drink we needed. She contacted me before the trip just to check what kind of essentials (milk, bread etc) we would need and had those already in the house when we arrived which was a lovely touch. Ally The location of the flat is perfect for walking down to the coast and experiencing the lovely sandy beach and Sandown Pier which are only a few minutes walk away. There is always a good buzz around the beach area, we found there was lots to do there to enjoy a fun day with kids. The local shops are also just a couple of minutes walk away, a mix of small businesses and larger supermarkets. There is something for everyone around there.

A piece of paradise

This little apartment is a jewel in the crown of self-catering properties! Spotlessly clean, comfortable, exceptionally well-equipped (Ally really has thought of everything) and an easy few minutes’ walk from Sandown town shops and the beach. Ally is the perfect hostess: on hand if needed, yet not intrusive. We had a fabulous holiday, thank you, and would love to return.

Perfect short stay!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property. The flat was well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing short break. The property was spotless and well-maintained. The kitchen was fully stocked and we welcomed the added extras. The living area was compact yet efficiently designed. The beds were also very comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and had plenty of towels. The location was ideal, close to the beach with easy access to local restaurants and shops. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The small touches such as beach gear, games, takeaway containers was a nice touch. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a base to explore the Isle of Wight!
