Spoil your loved ones with a beachy break at this bright and welcoming seaside apartment overlooking Shanklin’s Esplanade. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, it’s perfect for small families or groups who are searching for a tranquil beachfront hideaway to call home while they explore the Isle of Wight together. Wake up and set off for your morning stroll on Shanklin Beach, which is right on your doorstep. Afterwards, grab a photo-op by the colourful beach huts and treat yourself to some traditional seaside fun at the amusement arcades. In the evening, come home to your apartment’s balcony to sip a chilled glass of wine while the world goes by on the Esplanade below.

Park in your private parking spot and enter via the shared rear entrance. Follow the steps up to the first floor and you’ll find your beach retreat. A hallway leads you to a light-filled open-plan living space with chilled-out coastal-themed decor. Take a moment to appreciate the sea views through the wide French doors, before you head to the chic kitchen area to whip up some dinner. Get everyone together to eat at the elegant dining table, or head out onto the balcony to dine alfresco while you soak up the stunning sea views. Afterwards, head back to the lounge area to catch up on your favourite TV shows. When the day is done, there are two stylish bedrooms waiting for you – a generous double and a sweet twin. A smart family bathroom with a walk-in shower completes the layout.

Take a short stroll to Shanklin Chine (0.5 miles) and follow its winding pathways past cascading waterfalls. Or head to Ventnor Botanic Garden (5.5 miles) to check out its themed subtropical and Mediterranean gardens.

We had a fantastic stay at this apartment! We spent most of our time outside on the patio, which is so inviting and has the best view. The apartment is so well equipped, it had everything we needed and some wonderful welcome gifts too. They had though of everything, and it was clean and comfortable. We would love to stay here again!

We were honestly blown away by the apartment. The apartment was clean, deceptively spacious (the pictures don't do it justice) with a new feel. The beds were comfy, shower powerful, and it came with all amenities incl extras like a fan and TV in the master bedroom. We had an issue with the toilet that was resolved quickly and communication was goodRead more, with the agent checking back in the next day to ensure we were happy. We found one dirty utensils that the cleaner missed (an easy fix with the dishwasher) but the rest of the property was spotless. We appreciated the lovely welcome pack with wine, biscuits and homemade jam Hide
