The lovely town house is one of a pair of properties very attractively situated in the delightful small seaside resort of Shanklin on the south east coast of the Isle of Wight. It enjoys lovely open sea views from its balconies and from the sitting room and second double bedroom. This is combined with open views from the front facing rooms across the coastal aspect of the town towards lovely downland and the Culver Cliffs. The lovely sandy beach of Shanklin is within a 10 minute walk. The sand gently slopes down into the water making it ideal for swimming and paddling. The seafront offers various places to eat plus traditional seaside entertainments and crazy golf. There is easy access via a zig zag path or a lift which descends to the Esplanade. The charming old village of Shanklin is less than a 5 minute walk away. Here there are a variety of pretty thatched cottages, tea shops, a public house and Shanklin Chine which provides another point of access to the sea. Also nearby is Shanklin Theatre and the shopping centre of the town.

Sandcastles has been built on three levels to take full advantage of the views.

Also on this floor is a spacious cloakroom with WC and basin. Stairs lead up to three delightful bedrooms - a lovely room with a double bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers, balcony and a window with an open sea view; a master bedroom with a double bed, wardrobe, Juliet balcony with views across the downs and an en-suite shower room with built in shower, basin and WC; a single bedroom which can accommodate two with the addition of the full size trundle bed; a lovely tiled family bathroom with a bath, overhead shower, basin and WC.

This property was lovely. We spent Christmas here with our young family and dog. It is located near the beach and the views from the house are amazing. The kitchen was well equipped plenty of plates to use. Also good to have off street parking in a very busy road.

Had an amazing week's holiday. The house was fantastic, very stylish, clean, modern and exceptionally well equipped. The Owners really had thought of everything a family on holiday might need including fresh milk in the fridge when we arrived. It was so good we immediately booked the same property again for next year.

The property was immaculately clean and well presented when we arrived and had all the essentials such as condiments and cleaning products that you would need for your stay.
