Sea Whisper stands close to the centre of the seaside resort of Shanklin, on the South East Coast of the Isle of Wight. The property enjoys open views across the town towards the downs and from some rooms and the balconies, the sea and Culver Cliffs can be seen. Sea Whisper is within a seven-minute walk of the sandy beach of Shanklin where swimming, paddling and boating can be enjoyed. From Sea Whisper there is also easy access to the Old Village of Shanklin (within five minutes walk) with its pretty thatched cottages, theatre, tea shops and public houses, as well as the various shops and restaurants of the town and the traditional seaside entertainments of boating and crazy golf.

Sea Whisper is a newly built semi-detached cottage. It is three storeys high with the main living accommodation on the top two floors . The property has a light and spacious feel with its large windows, balconies and deep cream carpets which extend throughout most of the property. It has been furnished and equipped with great care to provide attractive and comfortable accommodation of a high standard. Stairs ascend from the ground floor hallway to a landing with large double doors giving access to a spacious open-plan living area with a fitted kitchen beautifully equipped with stylish work tops, integrated cooker and hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge freezer and washing machine; a sitting room with a leather corner sofa, arm chair, flat screen television with Freeview/Blu-ray DVD/YouView and French doors opening on to a small balcony with a table and chairs for two from where there are views across the town towards the downs, and also sea views across to Culver Cliffs can be enjoyed. There is an attractive dining area beside a large window with a Juliet balcony and views across the town to the downs beyond. On this floor there is also a spacious tiled cloakroom with a WC and basin.

A further flight of stairs ascend to three beautiful bedrooms - a master bedroom with a double bed, large windows with a Juliet balcony and an en-suite tiled shower room with built in shower, basin and WC; a twin bedroom with 2 x 3ft wide (standard adult) single beds and a balcony providing down land and sea views; and a spacious bunk bedroom. There is also a family bathroom which is fully tiled with bath, overhead shower, basin and WC. A travel cot, high chair and a door gate can be provided if required. Wifi internet connection, central heating and electricity are all available without extra charge.

Sea Whisper has an attractive terrace at the rear of the property with garden furniture so that meals can be enjoyed in the sunshine. The terrace can be accessed via the kitchen and extends to the side of the house. There is a garage where a car can be parked or bicycles/small boats stored. A further parking space is in front of this garage. The cottage is ideally situated for anyone wishing to holiday without a car as there is a good bus service which links Shanklin with most parts of the Isle of Wight, and also a train service providing a link with Ryde and a boat service to Portsmouth.

Such a warm & welcoming house, very clean and had everything we needed for our family. Super spacious kitchen, games for the kids, comfy beds, easy parking. Great location to explore the whole of the Island and added bonus of being a couple of minutes walk to the Shanklin Theatre and an easy stroll to the seafront!
