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.

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.

Lovely apartment in a perfect location.We will be back with the rest of the family soon.

4.0 / 10.0

Tired and run down. The outside furniture and BBQ were unusable. The shower tray overflowed and the toilet in the bathroom had defective plumbing. No nonslip mat for shower over bath and shower head was loose and could not be fixed at the required height. Some lights were not working, probably because the bulb needed replacing. Couldn’t sit around kitchen table as was too small. Overall problem with damp and mould.

10.0 / 10.0

Great location, good off road parking. Large bedrooms with plenty of storage space. Nice well equipped kitchen but would be quite small for a family of six. Outside space looking tired needs some attention but overall a nice place to stay.

4.0 / 10.0

Positives are the location and the size of the bedrooms and living rooms. The beds are comfortable and the bedding clean. Kitchen is small but well equipped. Negatives outweigh the good though. Firstly there is a damp issue that impacts all rooms even with the dehumidifier running noisily all day. The smell is strong and only alleviated if all windows are left open (we had great weather). The main bathroom suffers from damp issues with a disgusting towel rail which should have been changed months ago. The outside area has been left to deteriorate to the extent that it was unusable unless we were prepared to scrub the furniture down. There are steep steps down to the entrance which are not lit at night and we felt weren’t safe.Communication with the host prior to check in was delayed ( we didn’t get any details until after our paid for stay had started) causing worry as we were travelling a long way to the island. Information had to be chased by phone and message and remained unanswered until the next day. That said when we reported an issue with the shower not draining after the first use the owner responded quickly and attempted to sort it out that day. The shower flooded again though on the next use so it remains unfixed. It’s obvious from older reviews that all these issues are long standing and there has been little, if any, attempts to rectify. This is a shame as with some effort it could be a nice property. We would not stay again and would not recommend

I was very disappointed to arrive at a property that was a converted basement, it was damp, smelt like damp, the shower drains were blocked and could only access the ensuite which was full of mould behind the handles of the bath which I had to clean myself because it all kept coming out the shower and flaking in the bath. The noise was horrendous upstairs the noise sounded like they were in the same room behind a locked door was their home. We came to find if you use the hob too long it kills the switch so were left with uncooked food and had to eat out everyday instead. They expect you to strip all the beds, towels and bag them all up when your struggling for time to leave to catch the ferry which isn't helpful but yet have to pay for cleaners that we never saw the whole time being there.

Property is a good size and was more than big enough for our party of 6 The only down side we found was the parking As we had a mini van, the width of the space to get to the parking at the side of the property was too narrow and therefore had to resort to parking in a car park at the end of the road at extra cost. Other than that, no issues and had a great stay

Excellent location in the heart of Shanklin. Owners very helpful and easy to contact

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.

4.0 / 10.0

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.

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.

A pleasant stay with comfortable beds and lounge. The outside seating area could do with a clean up.

6.0 / 10.0

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.

Perfect location and very well equipped My only disappointment was that the outside seating was in the shade for so much of the afternoon and evening. Lovely and sunny earlier!

6.0 / 10.0

Great location in the heart of Shanklin village (and five minutes from beach) and the street was nice and peaceful. The apartment offers plenty of space as well as off-street parking. Access to the apartment was straightforward and the beds were lovely and comfortable. The apartment unfortunately suffers from damp that gives off a musty smell and is addressed by a dehumidifier. It would have been handy to have had the manual for this to save us time. Kitchen was clean but cleanliness could be improved in the rest of the apartment as there were cobwebs and dust on skirting boards and blinds in bedrooms and bathrooms could do with a deep clean. Sanitary bins were missing from both bathrooms which we found very odd. When we arrived, there was no travel cot or high chair set up, even though our booking stated that we were travelling with an infant. However, after some hunting around, we found them in a cupboard and set them up ourselves.

Spacious modern apartment, plenty of parking, excellent location in the heart of Old Shanklin, helpful owners and easy to contact and private garden space. Only slight downside, the shower room needs attention. Would stay again
