Property code: OC-T32758

Just 300 metres from the golden curve of Freshwater Bay, this bright and airy ground-floor apartment is a dream base for lazy days by the sea, clifftop walks, and cosy evenings in. Perfect for a solo traveller, a couple, and a well-behaved dog, it has everything you need for a coastal break, including a private garden.

Enter through your patio, where French doors open into a light-filled open-plan living area. Thoughtfully decorated with coastal-inspired artwork and books, it feels instantly welcoming. The sleek kitchen comes fully equipped, making self-catering a breeze. Dine at the table set in the bay window or perch at the breakfast bar for your morning coffee. The lounge area, with reclining seating and a Smart TV, is a lovely place to unwind after a day exploring. A double bedroom with an en-suite shower room offers a peaceful night's sleep, while a separate bathroom with a shower over the bath gives you the choice between a long soak or a quick rinse. Natural tones and stylish touches throughout create a calming coastal atmosphere. Your enclosed outdoor space is a little haven - enjoy al fresco dining on the furnished patio, sip a glass of wine in the evening, or simply listen to the gentle sea breeze. The grassy area adds an extra spot to relax, and with private parking for one car, exploring the island is easy.

Freshwater Bay is a favourite for swimming and paddleboarding, with a friendly beach cafe, a hotel bar with panoramic sea views, and even its own independent lifeboat station. Across the road, discover the Dimbola Museum and tearooms, or start your adventure on the famous Tennyson Trail - a breathtaking clifftop walk to The Needles and Alum Bay. Golf lovers can head to the local club half a mile away, while a scenic drive along the Military Road brings you to Compton Beach (2.5 miles).

I would recommend it. Very clean: the Size, the way it is set up, proximity to the field, the beach and the Downs. Location is great. Lots of nice small things to welcome you; milk, coffee, biscuits (human and Dog). With Parking. Our first holiday with our elderly dog and the flat and garden worked really well. Some glasses are in the high cupboRead moreard to the left of the sink. We took a door-mat and a pile of Dog Towels and used the double doors as our entrance. Neighbours were friendly. The Red Lion was great. Hide

Great place to stay! Secure garden for the dog, the flat was spotless, cosy and comfortable and was perfect. We would definitely stay again and would recommend to friends. Brilliant walk opposite plus the sea is a few minutes walk. Host left a brilliant guide too

Wonderful property in a great location. Very modern and spotlessly clean and warm with everything you need provided. We had a great week. This is our 3rd time on the island and our favourite property by far and we will definitely be back. Thank you

An absolute gem! There is everything you need in the many drawers and cupboards, and the owners have made the flat a home-from-home: I only discovered the beer glasses after a couple of days! I liked the ability to book arrival on a Saturday since the holiday can start with a visit to the market in Lymington. We really loved the apartment, the decoRead morer, the facilities and location. It also came with a "Welcome Pack" that we appreciated. The outside seating area was enjoyable in the autumn sunshine. The key question anyone would want to know is: would you return? And the answer is yes. Definitely. And look forward to doing so. Hide
