Location



The property sits just steps from Sandown Bay, one of the Isle of Wight’s most popular sandy beaches. The sweeping bay stretches from Culver Down’s dramatic chalk cliffs to the traditional seaside town of Shanklin, creating miles of golden sand perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and coastal walks.



Across the road you’ll find Sandham Gardens, a fantastic family attraction featuring crazy golf, go-karts, climbing nets, and a children’s play area.



A short stroll along the seafront leads to Yaverland Beach and the Wildheart Animal Sanctuary, home to rescued lions and tigers.



Sandown’s lively seafront offers traditional seaside fun, including cafés, restaurants, amusements, and the pier, while the surrounding bay is a popular destination for paddleboarding, sailing, windsurfing, surfing, and kite surfing.



The coastal path continues along the revetment to nearby Shanklin, where you can explore the charming Old Village and picturesque Shanklin Chine.

BRILLIANT PROPERTY

We stayed for 5 nights and had a brilliant time. The house is so well equipped, is in a perfect position for the beach, playground, amusements and Island attractions. The whole family really loved the house. It is across 4 floors so we are all a little bit fitter now having climbed more stairs than usual. There is also some building works next door but we barely heard anything at all.

Lovely comfortable accommodation

Thought I’d booked through Vrbo but had to liaise with another agent. Confusing to start with.
