About this property

In the heart of the Old Village, 5 minutes to the beach

Please note there is some restrictive head room for people over 6' tall. The main ceilings are 6'5" and door frames 6'2".
Discounted ferries can be arranged.

Bedroom 1 (4.6x 4.22m) with king size bed has an en suite bathroom, whilst bedrooms 1 and 2 share a separate shower room.
Bedroom 2 (4.21 x 2.55m) has a king size bed, double wardrobe and bedside drawers.
Bedroom 3 (5.18 x 2.42m) has 2 single beds, built in wardrobes, chest of drawers and bedside drawers.
Towels and linen are provided. We just ask that you bring your own beach towels.
The garden is decked with BBQ and seating area.
The apartment is just yards from the famous Old Village, which has numerous thatched pubs, restaurants, bars, shops, tea rooms etc. The beach can be reached within 5 minutes walk.
Shanklin is the ideal base for exploring the rest of the Island by car, bus or bicycle. Bikes can be rented locally and delivered to your door by Route Fifty7.
The apartment is built into the lower ground floor of a Victorian building and does need ventilation. There is a dehumidifier, which we ask our cleaners to empty, but we ask that if it fills up during your stay that it is emptied. It would also be very beneficial to have windows open just a crack while you are in for air flow.

Weekend in Shanklin
Unfortunately I didn’t get the details about the key and access to the property. Luckily when we arrived there was someone at home to assist. Lovely long weekend in a great location.

Apartment in Great Location
Couldn't fault the location of this Apartment. We stayed here with friends 4 Adults 2 teenagers and loved the proximity, close to all the Shops Pubs and lovely easy walk to the Beach. The Apartment itself could have been cleaner ..lots of Dust and cobwebs and wardrobes in kids room smelt awful so we didnt use them. The shower room flooded on one occasion but no mop and bucket so had to use the towels to clean up and the Towel rail in there needs replacing as all the coating is coming off and wouldnt want to put anything on it. We couldn't all eat together as table only seats 4 but we managed and the outside area needs lighting...couldn't see very well when coming home late and was worried of slipping on decking when wet. The accommodation wasn't the best we have stayed in but for what we paid the proximity made up for it and we've had a fab time and loved Shanklin.

September holiday
Good points: Excellent location, restaurants, pubs, bus stops, shops and beach all near by. A very quiet road. Three good sized bedrooms. Good quality linen and towels. Two good showers with copious amounts of hot water. Plenty of off road parking. Not so good: The apartment suffers a major damp problem, as mentioned in the information. Luckily, we had warm weather with just one wet day. The flat smells musty, even when windows and door left open for fresh air, plus the continual use of a dehumidifier, which we emptied twice. We were out all day and did no cooking. The outside space has been left to deteriorate and looks in a really poor state. It’s a shame because obviously when this apartment was renovated and redesigned a lot of thought and care was involved. We wouldn’t choose to stay again.

Disappointing
This accommodation was very disappointing. The damp is a major issue, the place smells really bad, even though there is a de humidifier we had to empty this every day, sometimes twice, it is that damp. The bedding felt damp when we got into bed the first couple of nights. Cleanliness needs addressing, there were dust and cobwebs around the flat and the windows were dirty. The bathroom towel rails were rusty and the main bathroom one was actually flaking. The main bathroom tap was wobbly. The damp has affected the decor which makes it look unappealing with damp patches on the walls and ceiling. Such a shame as the location is great and the fact it has off street parking is a big bonus. We wouldn't stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah & Gareth

Host profile image
After having run the house as a guest house for 10 years we opened a deli in Shanklin in 2019 and found that we couldn't do both, so in 2021 we converted the garden floor of our house into a separate apartment.

Why they chose this property

With the central location you can get to anywhere on the Island in no more than 30 minutes. Shanklin is a lovely bustling little village and town. It has everything! It's a village, a town, a seafront, all with a lovely friendly atmosphere. It has a Chine, a Pipeline Under The Ocean, a rock shop, an amazing beach, walks galore for all abilities, cycle tracks, water sports. And if you're staying for a bit Shanklin is a fantastically functional town, where you can buy just about everything.

What makes this property unique

The apartment is very private and quiet with a lovely big decked garden with BBQ area. Hampers and platters with IOW Products and Continental goodies can be provided with a little notice or you can buy them from It's About Thyme in Shanklin.
