Little Gem with Private Hot Tub – Up to 25 percent off ferry Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Little Gem with Private Hot Tub – Up to 25 percent off ferry on Chine Avenue, you immediately understand why this four-star property has such stellar ratings. The name honestly tells you everything — it really is a little gem tucked away in what locals know is the best part of Shanklin. There’s something quite special about finding a place that delivers exactly what it promises, and this one does that in spades. This boutique apartment combines intimate charm with thoughtful amenities that make every moment feel intentional.
Location & Neighborhood
You know what struck me most? The location is absolutely spot-on for exploring the Isle of Wight without feeling like you’re staying in a tourist trap. Chine House sits in Shanklin’s top-rated area, and I can see why couples give it such high marks — there’s this perfect balance of being close enough to everything but still feeling private and romantic. The fact that you get free private parking is honestly a godsend, especially during peak season when finding a spot elsewhere can be a nightmare. Walking distance to local attractions means you can easily venture out or retreat to your sanctuary.
The Hot Tub Experience
Let’s talk about that private hot tub, because that’s really what sets this place apart from your typical seaside accommodation. After spending the day exploring Shanklin Chine or walking along the beach, slipping into your own hot tub feels like pure indulgence. It’s positioned perfectly for privacy too — you can actually relax without worrying about neighbors peering over. I mean, there’s something quite magical about soaking under the stars after a day of island adventures. This exclusive feature transforms ordinary evenings into unforgettable moments.
The Space Itself
The room itself is thoughtfully designed with everything you actually need rather than pointless extras. What I appreciated most was how well-maintained everything felt — you can tell the owners really care about the details. The space feels intimate without being cramped, which is exactly what you want for a romantic getaway. Plus, being in Chine House means you’re in one of those classic Isle of Wight buildings that has real character, not some modern block that could be anywhere. The kitchen is fully equipped for guests who prefer preparing their own meals.
Why Guests Love It
Honestly, the 9.7 rating makes complete sense once you’ve stayed here. It’s that rare combination of excellent location, genuine comfort, and something special (the hot tub) that transforms a good stay into a memorable one. The ferry discount mentioned in the name is actually quite helpful too — every bit of savings helps when you’re planning an island break. Couples particularly seem to get it right with this choice, and I can understand why they rate the location so highly for romantic trips. Sometimes you find places that just work perfectly for what they’re meant to be, and this little gem absolutely nails that brief.
Isle of Wight’s apartments welcome remote workers with fiber internet, garden studios, and beach paths for lunch breaks.

Excellent place to stay with good location – Caroline from United Kingdom (10/10)
I read other reviews before visiting and Little Gem really is as lovely as people say. When we next visit the Island we would definitely try to stay here again. We particularly loved spending time relaxing in the private garden. The decor and cleanliness was exceptional, as was the location and the hosts. Little Gem was really well appointed and we loved everything about it. It was a treat to have such a comfortable king size bed too, just like home 🙂
