An enticing seaside retreat set right on the esplanade in Ventnor, this impressive apartment is the perfect place for an Isle of Wight stay. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom abode captures magnificent views out across Ventnor Bay. Step straight out to stroll along the promenade or spend time on the lovely, sandy beach. Amble just 0.5 miles into the centre of the former Victorian resort to potter in its independent shops and galleries or dine out in its choice of eateries. Head 1 mile along the coast to the Ventnor Botanic Garden, where the unique microclimate of the area means a spectacular display of plants can be cultivated. Charming Steephill Cove, about the same distance from the apartment, is an idyllic spot for swimming, paddling and rockpooling, while the National Trust’s Ventnor Downs, 2 miles away, offers verdant surroundings and scenic footpaths to those who enjoy long walks.
Make your way into this lovely apartment at ground floor level via your private terrace and French doors. Pause to appreciate the panoramic views before stepping inside to find an immaculate, professionally designed interior with a tasteful, understated finish. Natural materials, such as linen and timber, have been married here with vintage furniture and gorgeous coastal colours to ensure you indulge in a calm and restful stay. There are also carefully chosen paintings and other pieces by local artists for you to admire. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner features the glass terrace doors that can be thrown open on fine, sunny days to enable you to savour the sea air from inside and out. Sit back on the comfortable seating, which includes a sofa with a gentle striped pattern that takes inspiration from the quintessentially British seaside setting, after your excursions. Socialise together in comfort, find a film on the Smart TV or simply lose yourselves in the views. Prepare delicious dishes with Isle of Wight produce in the kitchen, then gather round the dining table to enjoy your meals together. As night falls, head off to your beautifully decorated bedrooms, one super king size and one twin zip and link (can be made as a super king size on request). The sumptuous king size bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while guests in the twin bedroom will have exclusive use of the modern family shower room.
Step out into the sunshine to enjoy a glass of chilled fizz or a cup of coffee in the sea air. Dine out here too as the sun goes down and the lights of Ventnor start to twinkle on. Parking for this apartment is on the street, subject to availability. There is also a pay and display car park within 150 metres.
