About this property

Best location in Ventnor, stunning sea views

In the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the stunning views over the beach at Ventnor Bay. The apartment faces south on a quiet private road, with its own parking, overlooking the beach and 5 mins walk to town.

The apartment is situated in the victorian coastal town of Ventnor on the Isle of Wight. Famous for its mild Mediterranean style microclimate it has the highest number of sunshine hours in the UK.

With family friendly beach, lined with pretty victorian beach huts and fantastic coastal scenery, it is perfect for families or couples and often attracts walkers, writers and artists who come in search of unspoilt views. Its quirky mix of small vintage shops and many popular restaurants offer something for everyone. Some of our apartments are also dog friendly.

The 2nd floor apartment has its own parking and independent access and has 1 family bedroom (double & bunks), bathroom, separate lounge (with pull down double bed) and a fully equipped kitchen. The apartment has fantastic sea views from both the lounge and bedroom, perfect for lying in bed and listening to the waves!

The apartment is decorated with a coastal theme and has broadband wi-fi, smart television, a dvd player and a fully equipped kitchen including dishwasher. Crisp white bed linen and towels are also provided.

We have a laundry room, offer a selection of games, books and DVDs and there is also a small garden for guests to use.

Please note Ventnor is hilly and there are steps to all apartments so it is not suitable for those with mobility problems.

An oasis of calm.

Going to sleep and waking up to the sound of the sea was nostalgic and calming. The property was welcoming, clean and tastefully furnished. We felt safe, and had all we needed. Tea and Cadbury’s chocolate fingers were so lovely on arrival. Would love to return one day.
Perfect seaside stay.

What a lovely retreat by the sea. Apartment was very clean and had all the kitchen equipment (pots, pans, potholders, utensils, etc) needed to prepare basic meals. We found the apartment to be very restful and enjoyed waking to the sound of waves on the shore. The laundry room with washer and tumbler was much appreciated. Lots of great restaurants in area and bus service was stellar.

Great stay

Lovely apartment with panoramic views of the sea. Location was fantastic, just a few steps from the beach. Lots of nice restaurants and tea shops in Shanklin nearby. The apartment had everything we needed an was clean and bright. As there were quite a few steps leading up to the apartment it would be unsuitable for someone with mobility issues.

A really lovely flat . Spotlessly clean . Both double beds really comfortable. Ingenious pull down double bed in lounge. Very large rooms with stunning views . You do need to be able to walk well as a lot of steps and a steep hill but would definitely come back if Dawn would have us !!

Weekend trip to Ventnor

First time at Saltys on a trip to Ventnor. Fist impressions were the amount of steps but then the property is on a hillside. You couldn't get better views of the sea once you've climbed to the flat. If you can handle the steps there is no better place to stay. Only gripes would be the dirty oven we had to wash before being able to use and the cheap bedding/linen and lack of loo roll. Would have no hesitation to return.

Hi Alan, glad you enjoyed your weekend and would love to come back! Yes we try to make it clear to everyone that our hillside position means there are lots of steps everywhere so definitely not suitable for anypne with mobility problems, but most guests think the views are worth the climb! So sorry about the oven, our housekeeper is usually so thorough with making everyone sparkle so not sure how that got missed. Dawn

Many thanks

We had a lovely weeks break. Its always like stepping into another world when we visit the Island. The flat was just perfect for the two of us. Everything we needed for comfort was there to be found. Just loved the windows looking out on to the sea front, after the storm we were even treated to viewing surfers from them. Many thanks Dawn.

Good location, great views

Lovely little apartment which is well equipped. Ideal for what we needed. Listing should make it clear on the amount of steps as anyone less mobile would struggle to carry luggage to the top floor apartments. I did contact the owner to look to change my ferry time for my return and have yet to receive a response.

Full refurb needed

On our arrival it was obvious that the whole apartments decor carpets and furnishings were tired and this included the bedding. The bunk beds were not even made up so we couldnt stay in the same room and chat about our day. The pull down bed in the lounge was made up but you have to move the sofa to be able to pull the bed down...not ideal every day. The beds were like sleeping on concrete and in my book everyone deserves a good night sleep when on holiday. This is not what we had on these beds. The tv pixlated due to being so old and was unwatchable...im only glad that the weather was beautiful so that we didnt need the tv. We spoke to the host who admitted is was the oldest tv she had but wasn't on the island so couldnt do anything about it.The man that looks after the apartments was very helpful and asked the host if he could take a tv from one of the other apartments but was told no because they had guests coming in at the weekend. This was on the Tuesday and we were already there. Not impressed with the customer care ethic.The host agreed to take a fire stick from one of the apartments but the tv kept pixlating so was useless. There was only 3 towels that were left out for our use and this was not sufficient so permission was given to the apartment manager to give us some more. Three towels between two is not enough. So although the view is outstanding the apartment was not..We do not recommend and will not be returning to th acco............................agaismall it

Our team feel very sad to receive this kind of damaging review, as we strive to ensure our guests have a great holiday. We usually receive such positive feedback about all the facilities supplied, but we appreciate that not all decor and mattresses suit everyones personal tastes. We are also sorry our TV played up during your stay and that despite our attempts to immediately respond to all your issues and provide solutions, we clearly fell short in all your expectations.

Fab location

This property is located in road that has an incline, and maneuvering with a car around the permanently parked car was a bit tricky. Add the walk up the stairs with bags got your heart rate up, BUT it was all worth it for the view that you wake up to and the sounds of the ocean at night. My one moan was the bed wasn't comfy, but then we didn't go to Ventnor to sleep.

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Giles

Host profile image
We are so proud of the space we have created at Salty Holidays and love seeing happy guests on holiday here - especially when so many familiar faces return year after year.

We are blessed with amazing sea views and have given the apartments a lovely coastal feel with whitewashed walls and lots of personal touches, and we have left lots of books, games and beach toys for all to enjoy. We hope you will love it too!

Why they chose this property

We think Salty Holidays in the best location in Ventnor with our fantastic beach so close, but it's also walking distance to some fantastic restaurants, cafes and all the lovely little independent shops in Ventnor.

What makes this property unique

My best bits are:
- Lying in bed listening to the waves
- Watching the wall lizards basking in the sun on the garden wall
- Walking along the coastal path on a windy day
- Playing cricket or rounders on the beach at the end of the day
- Finding treasures in rockpools and building sandcastles
- Not needing to go out anywhere, because you already have the best view in town!
