The Beach Retreat
Awaken refreshed in the oversized master bedroom and wander into the spacious open plan living area to enjoy a freshly brewed ground coffee. Take a seat on the sumptuous sofas or open the full width doors to the patio to soak up the morning sun and to absorb the breath-taking views of the Solent, with Culver Down to the east and Dunose Point, Shanklin to the west.
Located on the ground floor with private patio and garden overlooking the sea – communal gardens secured by glass balustrade leads to your private access to the coastal path. A 5-minute stroll along the Coastal path and you land at one of the top-rated beaches in the UK.

LOCATION:
There are plenty of attractions to keep all ages entertained long Sandown seafront. The Pier and glorious Sandown Bay are just a short walk down-hill from the property. Voted one of the island’s best beaches, so why not stretch your legs along the miles of golden sand or swim in the cooling water of the English Channel. The nine-mile stretch between Yaverland and Shanklin, with Sandown nestled in the middle, demonstrates the wonders of geology, with red sandstone through to the white chalk of Culver Cliff. On a lucky day, the remains of fossils can also be found! If you crave an active holiday, the bay is hugely popular with water sports and you’ll be sure to see people paddle boarding, surfing, windsurfing and kite surfing or catamaran and dingy sailing; weather dependent.
A short walk towards Yaverland, you will also find the Wild Heart Animal Sanctuary, famous for its big cats. The sanctuary, formerly the Isle of Wight Zoo, gained further recognition due to the owner’s relationship with the naturalist and TV presenter Chris Packman. Additionally, a perfect distraction for the younger guests is Sandham Gardens, which is only minutes’ walk from the esplanade. With karting, sky nets, crazy golf and a dedicated play area on offer there should be plenty to ensure a good night’s sleep at the end of the day!
