I highly recommend this property, it is beautiful property. It is really clean, big enough so you have your own space but not too big either. Sun trapped back garden with sitting area and the front of the property gives you a lovely sea view. Property is in walking distance from the shopping street and old Shanklin. If you struggle walk up or down Read morehills, there is a lift that takes you to promenade. I would 100% be booking this property again. Hide
