Escape with your loved ones to this bright, charming seaside apartment sitting opposite the sandy shore on Shanklin’s Esplanade. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, it’s an excellent choice for small families or groups of friends who are looking for a beachside hideaway to call home while they explore the Isle of Wight together. Spend a lovely day strolling along the sandy shores of Shanklin Beach (on your doorstep), head off to hike the gorge at Shanklin Chine (0.5 miles), or wander into Shanklin Old Village (0.5 miles) to admire its charming thatched cottages, quaint tea rooms and traditional pubs. Alternatively, discover the stunning subtropical plants that thrive in the island’s unique microclimate at Ventnor Botanic Garden (5.5 miles). Browse Mediterranean, South African and Australian plant collections while you soak up the views over the English Channel.

Enter through the shared rear entrance and follow the steps up to your stylish first-floor apartment. Inside, a welcoming hallway leads you into a bright, beautiful open-plan living space with calming, coastal-themed decor. Take a moment to appreciate the natural light streaming through the French doors that open out onto the balcony. Head to the chic kitchen area and whip up some dinner to share at the elegant dining table. Afterwards, catch up on your favourite TV shows in the lounge area. Two beautifully-styled bedrooms await along the hallway – a charming twin and a spacious double. A smart family bathroom with a walk-in shower completes the layout.

Treat yourself to a chilled drink on your private balcony while you admire the endless sea views. Step outside the building and you’ll find yourself on the Esplanade – and just moments from the beach.

We had a fantastic stay at this apartment! We spent most of our time outside on the patio, which is so inviting and has the best view. The apartment is so well equipped, it had everything we needed and some wonderful welcome gifts too. They had though of everything, and it was clean and comfortable. We would love to stay here again!

We were honestly blown away by the apartment. The apartment was clean, deceptively spacious (the pictures don't do it justice) with a new feel. The beds were comfy, shower powerful, and it came with all amenities incl extras like a fan and TV in the master bedroom. We had an issue with the toilet that was resolved quickly and communication was goodRead more, with the agent checking back in the next day to ensure we were happy. We found one dirty utensils that the cleaner missed (an easy fix with the dishwasher) but the rest of the property was spotless. We appreciated the lovely welcome pack with wine, biscuits and homemade jam Hide
