Each bedroom has a Smart TV, and many offer balcony access or stunning views over the sea or Brading Downs. The top floor king-size suite includes its own private balcony and en-suite, while another king-size bedroom opens to a large rear balcony with sun loungers and an L-shaped sofa – perfect for soaking up the afternoon sun.Whether you're cooking a family meal, catching up on work at the built-in desk, or simply relaxing on one of the many balconies, this home is thoughtfully equipped for comfort and connection.

(Disclaimer recorded: 21st September 2023)THE ISLAND HOLIDAY COMPANY ARE ABLE TO OFFER DISCOUNTED FERRY TRAVEL TO THE ISLE OF WIGHT WHEN YOU BOOK YOUR HOLIDAY THROUGH US.LOCATION:Glorious Sandown Bay is on your doorstep, and voted one of the Island’s best beaches, providing a long stretch of sand and great swimming waters. Along this stretch you can see the red sandstone through to the white chalk of Culver cliff, and it is around here that fossil remains can be found. Sandham Garden’s play area is just across the road from the apartment with go karting sky nets and crazy golf and children’s play area. A short flat walk further along towards Yaverland, and you will also find the Wild Heart Animal Sanctuary formerly the isle of Wight Zoo, famous for its big cats. The town of Sandown is brimming with attractions to entertain visitors, most of them right on the beach front itself, so you never have to stray too far from the golden sands. Should you enjoy a coastal walk, you can walk the length of Sandown Bay from Yaverland past the Pier along the seaside revetment all the way to the popular neighbouring town of Shanklin. If you are keen on an active holiday, the bay is hugely popular with water-sports, and you’ll certainly see people paddle boarding, surfing, catamaran and dingy sailing, windsurfing and kite surfing, depending on the weather.ACCOMMODATION:LOWER GROUND FLOOREntrance: door to property, from the parking space at the rear of the propertyGarage: table footballGROUND FLOORBedroom 1: zip and link super king bed (can be made as a twin on request), Smart TV and en-suiteEn-suite: shower cubicle, wash basin and toiletBedroom 2: zip and link super king bed (can be made as a twin on request) and Smart TVBedroom 3: zip and link super king bed (can be made as a twin on request) and Smart TVBathroom: bath, shower cubicle, toilet and wash basinFIRST FLOOROpen plan kitchen/ diner & lounge: American-style fridge/freezer, dishwasher, gas hob, electric oven, coffee machine, kettle, toaster, breakfast bar, dining table with chairs and bench seating, 3 sofas, Smart TV and patio doors leading to a balcony, with sea views and exterior furnitureUtility room: washing machine, tumble dryer, vacuum cleaner, iron and boardSECOND FLOORBedroom 4: king size bed, Smart TV, balcony and en-suiteEn-suite: shower cubicle, toilet, wash basin and heated towel railBedroom 5: king size bed, balcony and en-suiteEn-suite: shower cubicle, toilet, wash basin and heated towel railOUTSIDEBalconies with outdoor furniturePrivate parking for 2 cars at the rear of the property.
