Waterfront apartment accommodation

*Stunning Seacliff Apt* overlooking Ventnor Beach
Stunning! We had a fab few days here and itâs even better than the photos. Walking in and seeing the view takes your breath away. As well as the stunning view the location is great, v central for town, beach, bus, walks, amazing swims and great eateries. When we were there the road next to accom is blocked by rockfall. It meant the road was lovely and quiet(!) but does make it a longer /hilly walk into town. Wasnât a problem at all but worth knowing in advance. David was a great communicator, flexible and everything you need to know is in the handy welcome guide. Would love to stay again and wouldnât hesitate to recommend.

Beachfront Apartment With Panoramic Sea Views
Great location which is why I booked it ! Very clean and some nice touches with welcome drink and chocolate. Toiletries supplied as well as dishwasher and washing machine tablets. Very pleased with this accommodation.

Sea Break
It was a lovely tidy and clean apartment with a wonderful view. Robin was very forthcoming in communication.

Flat D, Cowes, an apartment with amazing views.
Stayed here for 3 nights with my family. Had a great stay the house is fabulous very clean and spacious really central close to shops restaurants etc. We felt right at home. Anna was very responsive to some questions we had. We will definitely be booking again as we regularly visit the island as my brother and his family live there. Would highly recommend đ

Luxury apartment with breathtaking sea views
Lovely apartment. Everything we needed. Comfortable. Loved the balcony as it gave an unhindered outlook to the bay, which we love and have visited for many years. Daughter and family in flat below so gave us a lovely family holiday. Lovely Sunday lunch at the Albion though need to make sure you have the Sunday roast menu which they forgot to give us!! All in all a great stay. Many thanks. Mike and Lecky Allwood.

Apartment by the beach
An absolute Gem if you want on the seafront right on the beach and pier this is your place. You can sit out on the balcony and watch the world go by on the beach. Itâs perfect family apartment. The apartment was immaculate

East Wittering Beach, Sea Views, Beach Access
Lovely apartment with everything we needed. Good size bedrooms and the kitchen was fully stocked with utensils etc. Two minute walk through the shared garden to the stone beach so super easy to pop down. East Wittering itself had lovely cafes and bakeries plus an amazing cheese shop. Karen was helpful and very responsive. I'd have no hesitation in staying again.

Coastal View Apartment
Incredible location, especially if you are a sailor. Constant parade of vessels heading out to the Solent all visible from the patio. Only a few minutes walk from all the restaurants and shops. A delightful small town. Not inexpensive but a very nice apartment with easy parking and entry. Would definitely stay here again.

Mulberry View: Superb beachfront property sleeps 8
Philip has been a great host, and we had an incredible stay. Not only was the house absolutely stunning, but the location couldnât be better. Despite the weather still being chilly - the house felt warm and inviting, my favourite was enjoying the sea views from the comfort of the house while sipping my morning coffee. Itâs clear that a lot of care has gone into making this place feel like a home. Weâve travelled with two young kids and everything we needed was already there. The welcome treats were a big bonus! Weâve enjoyed a bottle of Prosecco with our friends on arrival. I hope we can return soon.

3 Bed Flat Overlooking River Arun West Sussex
Kay's apartment was absolutely superb for us and she was such a great host. She was able to provide a travel cot and high chair at the last minute as silly grandparents had forgotten to pack them. It was no problem for Kay and she'd got it in position by the time we arrived, for which we were all extremely grateful. The apartment is located in a great spot with direct views over the estuary and Arun yacht club and a 5 minute walk from the beach and high st! We were greeted with a lovely basket containing sourdough bread, homemade biscuits, milk, jam, marmalade as well as plenty of tea bags, coffee & sugar! All the beds were comfortable as was the sofa and easy chairs in the lounge/diner. We all would recommend the local fish & chip shop Osca's as the food there was fantastic!

Canal view home in Chichester nr Goodwood
Thi communicated fantastically throughout the process. The home was very clean and within walking distance from Chichester station. The complimentary food and fresh flowers were a great touch.

New Forest, Seaview
Wonderful house in a terrific, peaceful location. The house and gardens are idyllic, and we loved spending time in the hedged gardens in the evening sun after playing tennis. The house is within easy access of all the best landmarks of the New Forest and also bang on the coast. The interior of the house has great style and charm and is a great place to spend time in.

Solent View Hill Head dog friendly holiday let
Carey is always responsive and happy to help as much as she can, this is our second stay here and it doesnât disappoint, clean and everything is thought of, will definitely stay there again đ

Abbey Water Rooms
When people say "hidden jem" this is what they mean. Photos really don't do this beautiful annex justice. And Sue is a fantastic host. Very picturesque and peaceful too, though be mindful of the Abbey bells which can start early morning (Sunday).

Waterfront, character cottage
We couldnât have asked for a better cottage in a breathtaking location. Lindyâs place was truly exceptional and far exceeded our expectations. Lindy was so friendly and helpful, it was a pleasure to meet her. Unfortunately, we were only able to stay for two days on this occasion, but what an amazing two days they were. Thank you for sharing your home with us, Lindy.

Whole seaside apt, stones throw to the new forest.
Our international friends who were visiting from Sweden were very happy here. Everything they needed was supplied and the place was nice and tidy and clean. Peaceful quiet area only a short walk from the beach. Everything was disability friendly too.

âWhen all else fails take a holidayâ~Book Trinnyâs
Really good, clean, well equipped apartment. Very well located for access to the town and beyond, although obviously that does mean there is a bit of traffic noise but not too intrusive. Had we been travelling in peak summertime, personally we would have sought outdoor space but the apartment was described accurately and suited our needs perfectly. Host is very responsive, helpful and genuinely polite and welcoming.

Luxury Beachfront Apartment with Sea View+Parking
Finn has chosen stylish furniture and decor for this very well equipped holiday home. The photos show all the rooms accurately but the balcony actually has far more comfortable furniture than the photos show., making it a super place to sit and view the coastline. Due to the bay windows , this flat has more far reaching views than other seafront properties we have stayed in. Also, Finn is an attentive host, on hand to solve any issues that may arise. We thoroughly recommend.

New Upscale Contemporary Apartment - River Views
Great view over the river, apartment was very clean, modern and secure with keypad entry. Easy walk to restaurants and Spar supermarket nearby. Secure car park, parking space numbers are on the ground with slightly weird numbering system. Excellent entry instructions from the host, just read them properly. It does make the apartment very secure. Definitely a great choice to stay in Southampton.

Goldeneye beach apartment, nearby forest
We agreed with all the previous reviews, and would like to add, Elmer is a great place to visit, and the proximity to the beach is fabulous. Robs information was second to none!! The walks were breath taking. Our special visit was Arundel, the castle, gardens, and town were amazing. Ok, now for our one grump, the fridge is a bit small!!! i know, ridiculous but we didn't know whether to put the wine or the milk in the door, so had to drink the wine, and put the milk in the fridge....sorted. By the way, the welcome basket was very much appreciated.

Historic Quay | 2 The Old Alarm with free parking
Julie was a fantastic host, she was very responsive and helpful. The flat was lovely, it was in a great central location and was well equipped, homely and pristine. There were thoughtful touches such as the welcome hamper and a useful parking permit. We wouldnât hesitate to recommend or to return again.

Rockpools-steps from the beach. *Ferry Discounts
Rockpools is a lovely comfortable downstairs apartment in a great location. Itâs a building with a characterful history and weâve now stayed here three times, which tells you something about both the accommodation and the area. Hard to beat! Thank you Katie, Iâm sure weâll be back again!

'Beachside' Seafront apartment - garage & garden
Nice and clean, easy access from the back if you want to avoid the steps, roomy, modern and well catered.

Modern Beach Side apartment with easy access.
Great apartment in a perfect location! The apartment is exactly as in the photos and the view from the living room on a sunny morning is perfect. Chris was responsive on messages upon booking and checked a few times before checking in we had everything we needed. There was no issues at all so no need for us to reach out for any further help. First time visiting the Isle of Wight and already canât wait to come back. Thanks for a great stay âşď¸
