A delightful two bedroom apartment nestled on the outskirts of the bustling town of Ventnor, this apartment is ideally placed to not only explore the delights of this vibrant seaside town, with its local bars and restaurants and the island's southernmost holiday beach, but some of the other tourists destinations that are a little further afield from Shanklin to Freshwater Bay. If you're more of a chilled-out visitor, then the apartment is well equipped; from enjoying a game of chess to reading a book on the apartment's balcony.

On arrival, you instantly feel how charming this apartment is, from the footbridge style gravel path that leads you to the front door. Once inside you are welcomed into an inviting, peaceful and lovingly maintained property. Both bedrooms can be found leading off from the hallway. The master bedroom with super-king size bed is a bright and airy, stylish space, with en-suite shower room, with twin beds in the second bedroom boasting its own en-suite shower room. Wonderful sea views can be enjoyed along the front of the apartment from the kitchen window to the balcony off of the sitting room. The kitchen is well-equipped with electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher; the washing machine can also be found here along with the dining table which is large enough to seat your whole group. This apartment's sitting room is the most fantastic setting, complete with TV, DVD and Xbox; many a holiday gathering can be enjoyed here.

Head out onto the apartment's balcony through the patio doors to truly appreciate amazing sea views. Panoramic vistas of the water can be enjoyed from here - why not take the opportunity to sit out and enjoy a cup of coffee at the break of dawn, or take in the sunset with a chilled glass of wine; this aspect is ever changing, with no two day's sights being the same. Limited on street parking with a public car park 0.4 miles away.

Gorgeous and very comfortable apartment with everything you need and more. We were still finding things on the day we were leaving that we couldve used. The views are incredible and a lovely short walk away from the charming town of Ventnor. There were only a couple of times we couldnt find parking straight away ( waited a few minutes) and only oncRead moree did we have to park in the car park at Wheelers Bay which is free and a very short walk away from the apartment. We will definitely return! Hide

Accommodation is exceptionally comfortable with many stylish accessories, which fitted the interior design. Lovely large rooms. The view from the kitchen and living room is spectacular. The balcony is an added bonus. Easy to walk into Ventnor or to the Esplanade. Several lovely local restaurants too, which are dog friendly. Parking was okay and didRead morent present too much of a problem in the narrow roads. Hide

The cottage is well located and the rooms have been well positioned ensuring the best use of views. Lack of parking is a problems, and for us the lack of a garden with our small dog was an issue. The bed was lovely and really comfy. A welcoming note from owners with milk and biscuits would have been a nice touch.
