This fantastic sea-view apartment sits in the coastal village of Bonchurch just 1 mile from the resort town of Ventnor, offering the perfect base from which to explore the Isle of Wight as a couple or small family. Bonchurch boasts a wealth of literary associations and is one of the island’s oldest settlements; the village is popular for its ancient church, golden beach and intriguing rock pools. Wheelers Bay is 1 mile away – the best way to discover this small cove is by striding out along the scenic Wheelers Bay to Bonchurch esplanade. Just beyond, bustling Ventnor is one of the island’s most popular destinations due to its pretty seafront setting, wide choice of restaurants and pubs, and splendid botanic gardens. Other nearby spots include the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary (4.5 miles), Blackgang Chine family theme park (7 miles), and the resorts of Shanklin (4.5 miles) and Sandown (7 miles).
Part of an exclusive cluster of coastal retreats amid cliffside greenery, this scenic apartment welcomes you with ample on-site parking, making unpacking and checking in a breeze. Step through the communal entrance and head up to the first floor to find your sea-view sanctuary. Kick off shoes in the hallway and spot the two restful bedrooms: a master king-size room with an en-suite shower room, and a family room with a king-size bed and bunk beds perfect for little ones. Both king-size beds convert to twins for flexible sleeping arrangements, and a well-appointed family bathroom with a shower over the bath ensures convenience for all. The light and airy, open-plan living space combines a modern kitchen with a scenic dining space and lounge area, forming the social heart of the property. On sunny days, slide open the glass doors to the balcony to let the fresh sea air flow through. Sink into the inviting sofa after days on the beach, then flick on the Smart TV for some easy entertainment or simply marvel at the ocean views. When stomachs rumble, the whitewashed kitchen offers everything needed for cooking up holiday feasts. Enjoy the chosen chef’s work at the dining table beside the window, at the breakfast bar if numbers are low, or alfresco-style out on the balcony.
From the living space, step out to your private balcony to soak up the views of rolling fields that eventually meet the ocean. Outdoor furniture here offers the perfect spot for scenic morning coffees and unforgettable al fresco meals as the sun sets. Guests will also benefit from a shared lawned garden with benches and picnic benches facing the sea, as well as ample on-site parking.
