We had a brilliant week, the appartment is very comfortable and exceeded expectations. It is much more spacious than it appears online. The location is brilliant too and we enjoyed a fab walk from Freshwater Bay to the Needles and back. We were a family of 6 and we felt very relaxed and happy in the appartment.

First impressions, wow! Lovely spacious property, amazing view (that isn't photoshopped!), ideal location for us, and really good appliciances! We really liked that the property had its own parking as this gave us reassurance that our car would be safe and off the road. Nice garden available for use if we wanted to use it. Absolute bonus that the pRead moreroperty had a washing machine and tumble dryer for use. Location was ideal for us, as we used it for a base to get out and about. Hide

Ocean view is an exceptionally nice apartment, very comfortably furnished and equipped to a high standard. It has lovely views across to the sea and a private garden. The hosts were very welcoming and it was a perfect home from home. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would happily stay there again.

The apartment is so spacious that it is easily big enough for six adults to stay together. Its well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The beds are very comfortable and the sea views are amazing. The stairs up to the apartment are easy for little ones and older people. Altogether a wonderful place to stay!
