The Beach House is an impressive home to enjoy a family beachside holiday from.

The open plan 1^st floor living space has an elevated dining area up a couple of steps, looking down over the kitchen and living area. The kitchen is modern and well-equipped and is ideally set out for sociable events and gatherings. Once the large sliding patio doors are opened onto the sun terrace the true ambience of this room comes to life. The outside dining area for 6 is partially screened and has glass and stainless steel balustrades for safety. Sea views can be enjoyed from here looking east and west. There is parking outside for two good-sized vehicles.

Initially a small fishing settlement, Ventnor grew into a thriving Victorian seaside spa resort due to its microclimate, generated from its south-facing position and the shelter of the downs behind the town. The old sanitorium is now home to Ventnor Botanical Gardens and visitors are attracted by Ventnor’s arts and restaurant scene as much as by its picturesque views and mild climate. Short walks will take you the adjacent villages of Bonchurch and its Inn for Sunday lunch, or Steephill Cove for a local crab sandwich. Venturing a little further will take you to Appuldurcombe House, with gardens designed by Capability Brown, or to picturesque Godshill, with its model village, both within a fifteen-minute drive.

In addition to the island’s beaches, family days out can include Blackgang Chine theme park, the activities at Tapnell Farm, or seeing big cats and monkeys at the Island’s animal sanctuaries. Activity lovers can walk any or all of the 67-mile coast path, cycle country lanes, or hire SUPs or kayaks at nearby Steephill Cove.

Location Information

Ventnor Town
Ventnor hugs the cliffside of St. Boniface Down on the south coast of the Isle of Wight. It’s a traditional Victorian seaside resort with a modern twist. Originally a fishing village, it became a fashionable Victorian health resorts due to its unique microclimate.

By the Sea
The beach itself is red shingle and sand, with traditional deckchairs and beach huts for hire. When you’ve had your fill of swimming and sunbathing, you can buy freshly caught lobster or crab from Ventnor Haven fishery, eat fish and chips on the beach or try the Smoking Lobster for cocktails and a pan-Asian inspired seafood menu. Or enjoy the views from the huge deck of the joyously kitsch Spyglass Inn.
Quirkier features of the sea front include the island shaped children’s paddling pool looking up to Cascade Gardens and “Stokey’s solar system walk”. From here you can carry on to Bonchurch with its historic church and Inn. Alternatively, walking 30 minutes west along the coast path will take you to secluded Steephill Cove, and up to Ventnor’s Botanical Gardens, where you might catch sight of local red squirrels.

In the Town
The main town centre is a 5-10 minute walk up from the beach. You’ll find two small supermarkets, and other key amenities, alongside gift shops and a great range of restaurants and pubs. The Ventnor Exchange and the Arts Club provide hubs for the thriving cultural scene, which peaks at the annual Ventnor Fringe Festival each July.
Venturing into the surrounding area will take you to Appuldurcombe House, with gardens designed by Capability Brown, or to picturesque Godshill, with its model village, both within a fifteen-minute drive. In addition to the island’s beaches, family days out can include Blackgang Chine theme park, the activities at Tapnell Farm, or see big cats and monkeys at the Island’s animal sanctuaries. Activity lovers can walk any or all of the 67-mile coast path, cycle country lanes, or hire SUPs or kayaks at nearby Steephill Cove.

If you want to explore further afield, nowhere on the island is more than an hour away from Ventnor by car and local buses will take you to Ryde, Shanklin and Newport.

Reviews

We had a lovely stay in April. House is full of luxury touches and has amazing views from the living room and balcony. Very close to Ventnor sea-front.

We truly had the most wonderful time , obviously helped by the brilliant weather . The house was immaculate and everything you need was available. The kitchen was amazing. Everything you can think of in the cupboards, even a milk frother. Lovely Liz Earl hand wash and expensive diffusers in the amazing bathrooms. Thank you so much for the welcome pack. It was great value and we did not regret a penny spent on this lovely holiday home. One week was too short and we love to come back. The grandchildren loved it so much they are saving their pocket money. Have a great season.

Brilliant House, great value for money. There is not one thing NOT to love. We will be back!!!!!!, Very important, the most comfortable beds.

Excellent all round - super team of incredibly helpful people!

We had a fantastic family holiday over the Easter Break at the Beach House. We were the first guests to stay and whilst we did have some reservations about that, the house was clean and in excellent condition. The whole process was also very well managed by Island Holidays with a bottle of prosecco for us and Easter chocolates for our children already in the fridge on our arrival. The house had all the basic necessities including Liz Earle hand soap in all the bathrooms. The location in Ventnor was additionally perfect being seconds from the Esplanade and beach and just a 5 to 10 minutes’ walk from the town centre. There was also a lot of useful information in the guest book. Whilst we thought we might have got bored after one week, there were still many things left for us to do and explore in the Isle of Wight at the end of our stay. We could have easily and happily stayed for two weeks in total. The only slight negative is that the sea view is partially obstructed. However, this did not detract at all from our enjoyment of the house and our stay. We would happily stay again in the future and have already forwarded the link to this house to all of our friends contemplating a holiday in the South of England.
