Exceptional house, modern and clean in a superb location!! – Geeta from United Kingdom (10/10)
Absolutely gorgeous house, furnished to a very high standard and immaculate. When you walk in to this beautiful property which is warm and smells great, you instantly feel comfortable and relaxed. Even the bathrooms were spotless, not a speck of dirt or dust anywhere. The cleaners should be commended for the hard work they do in making this home shine as its a huge house so lots of cleaning, they do an amazing job, thank you! Its in a perfect location, a few steps to the right and you have the most stunning views and then a short but steep walk down to the beautiful beach of Shanklin. The home also has a home gym, steam room and seating for outside dining in a huge garden. Everything about this house was perfect and we had the best weekend celebrating my husbands 50th. A massive thank you to the hosts David and Jayne for it all 🙏🏽 we will be back!

Exceptional – Neil from United Kingdom (10/10)
This place was absolutely stunning, the minute we walked in we were amazed. it was very clean and had so much room. There was 10 of us in the house and you never felt on top of each other. It was a short walk to a lovely beach. The owners couldn't have been more helpful they left a few bits and pieces for us and a bottle of wine which was a nice touch. They Also sent a link to install an app with all the info you need about the house and the area. I would highly recommend this house.
