Flat 1 Portman House

Just 500 yards from the beach, this lovely apartment is perfectly based to explore all that the Isle of Wight has to offer.. 9 steps to entrance.

All on the Lower Ground Floor:

Living room: 43" TV, TV, DVD Player, French Doors To Garden

Kitchen/dining room: Electric Cooker, Induction Hob, Microwave, Fridge, Freezer, Washing Machine

Bedroom 1: Double (4ft 6in) Bed, TV

Bedroom 2: 2 x Single (3ft) Beds

Bedroom 3: Bunk (3ft) Beds

Bathroom: Bath, Double Shower, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet. Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Welcome pack. Enclosed garden with patio and garden furniture. Private parking for 1 car. No smoking. Please note: Couples and family bookings only.. With a wonderful beach just moments away, this spacious dog-friendly apartment is perfectly placed on the eastern side of the island, just outside Shanklin town. Ideal for families and able to accommodate up to six guests, it offers an easy, relaxed base for coastal escapes. Guests can also now enjoy the added flexibility of midweek check-ins, and for those travelling over the water, ferry crossings are often cheaper midweek, making it even simpler to plan a well-timed getaway.

The excellent nearby beach delivers a classic British seaside feel and is accessed via steps from the cliff path close to the property, or from the esplanades of both Shanklin and Sandown. Tucked slightly away from the main resorts, it tends to be quieter even in peak season, making it a peaceful spot for days on the sand. Its shallow, clear waters are perfect for surfing, kayaking or paddleboarding, with an instructional school on hand for all ages and abilities. Beach hut hire, benches along the sea wall, and a friendly café with a barbecue area all add to the charm, while the wide, flat sea wall walk between Sandown and Shanklin is lovely when the tide is in.

Beyond the beach, Shanklin itself offers a lively mix of cafés, bars, shops and restaurants. The picturesque old village is famously dotted with thatched pubs, cosy tea rooms, craft shops and traditional seaside treats. Down on the esplanade, amusements, crazy golf and waterfront eateries provide plenty of classic holiday entertainment.

Neighbouring Sandown brings its own traditional resort feel with a pier, amusements and pitch and putt, alongside the Isle of Wight Zoo and Dinosaur Isle. Further afield, the island is rich with attractions—from The Needles and Alum Bay in the west, to Osborne House near Cowes, to the nostalgic fun of Blackgang Chine in the south. Whatever direction you explore, this sunny island offers something for everyone. Beach 530 yards. Shop 175 yards; pub and restaurant 70 yards.

Spacious and comfortable flat ideal for a family

We had a wonderful week in the Isle of Wight and enjoyed the flat and its location. The flat is an easy walk to the beach and Shanklin town. We also walked to Sandown beach which was also nice. The owner left a folder of instructions and information which was very useful, and she was quick to respond to any questions.

Fantastic find!

We were absolutely delighted to find that this property in Shanklin is exactly as described. Clean, welcoming and spacious. It is also rare to arrive at a holiday rental and find that the owners have thought to leave you washing tabs, cleaning products, bin liners, loo roll etc. and it meant we didn't have to scramble for supplies on arrival. The welcome "hamper" of breakfast foods was a lovely touch too, and we appreciated the thoughtfulness that was applied to every aspect of the stay. Really highly recommend.

Easter Break

Fabulous accommodation. We couldn't fault it. Very familiar with the area and we loved the position of the house. We walked to the beach everyday and didn't want to leave. We will be back but unfortunately when we next have time off in August this property is fully booked....that speaks volumes! Thank you for our extra welcome pack a great surprise when we got here. We all enjoyed the wine and chocolate. The condition of this property is top notch. Hope to be back soon if we can get booked in.
