Share an unforgettable getaway at this chic home in a complex of properties in Shanklin. Sleeping six people across three bedrooms, it’s perfect for families or groups of friends who are seeking a stylish base to call home while they discover the Isle of Wight together. During the day, browse Shanklin’s vibrant mix of cafes, boutiques and traditional seaside arcades, and in the evening, come home to dine alfresco in your cottage’s pretty garden. From the private parking area (there’s room for two cars), step inside your coastal retreat and stroll down the corridor to the elegant open-plan living area. Light floods in through bi-fold doors, highlighting the elegant parquet floors and sleek, modern decor. Soak up the cosy vibe before you head to the smart kitchen that sits neatly to one side to rustle up some dinner. Gather everyone together to eat at the elegant dining table, or head out into the garden to dine al fresco. After dinner, luxuriate in a soak in the hot tub or enjoy a little fun in the shared cinema and games room. At the end of the day, there are three double bedrooms to choose from, two of which can be converted into twins on request. The master bedroom features an en-suite shower room, while the others share a sleek family bathroom with a shower over the bath. In the morning, start the perfect day in the complex’s shared gym, sauna and heated outdoor pool.
Set off on a hike along the tranquil, 400-metre-long, wooded coastal ravine at Shanklin Chine (0.5 miles), which features stunning waterfalls and a heritage centre detailing its use during a secret WWII operation. Alternatively, take a gentle stroll along the seafront in Ventnor (4.5 miles), a charming Victorian health resort renowned for its 'English Mediterranean' microclimate. Please note, the holiday home is reached via an unmade road.
