Lovely modern apartment

Wonderful sea view from the apartment. Beds were comfortable and kitchen had all modern appliances. A couple of basic things were missing, no toilet rolls supplied or dish cloth. The only issue was the towels, they were not the best, so suggest bringing your own.

Overall a lovely apartment

The apartment was in an excellent location and was well equipped, although a frying pan would have been useful. It was clean and tidy, although we had to wash the crockery before use as some plates were greasy. Everything worked, it was lovely and warm for a November stay. The main bedroom was very roomy with plenty of storage space and the bed was lovely and firm. Pity the TV reception in the bedroom was poor on BBC. The view from the lounge was excellent with beautiful sunsets and the shipping going too and fro, our dog loved the beach too. Unfortunately the patio doors could not be unlocked, which was a pity on the couple of sunny days we had. Overall a lovely well equipped apartment in a great position, with a comfy bed (we only used the one bedroom), spacious shower and a beach outside the front door, if you could open it....

We liked the sea view and direct access to the path along the shore. Lots of space for two of us and our dog. It would be work well for four people. It was well furnished, and equipped. We especially liked the comfortable seating, and large dining table.The enclosed garden area was a big advantage with the dog.

Beach Escape

The apartment is very clean, well equipped, and in a quiet street. The best part is the sea view from the living area, and the location--steps to the beach. Short walk to shops and cafes and the Hayling Island Railway. Enjoyed our stay (our second) and would come back!

A lovely place to stay.

We enjoyed our stay at Sea Scenes, a bright and clean apartment, with patio doors that opened onto the outside seating area. Lovely to be so close to the sea with great views. Helen was great with some help we needed. 🙂

Contented visitor.

This was our third stay at Sea Scenes, using it as a base when visiting family. The apartment itself is modern, well equipped and very well maintained, the location especially in summer is ideal for a seaside holiday. I'm sure we will look to stay again.

Right on the beach

Great little bolt-hole, which we used as a day-time base (the bed was too firm for me, so we didn't actually sleep there and drove home each night, only 30 mins away). The apartment was spotless and well equipped. The apartment would be even better if it had some comfortable outdoor seating and perhaps a bbq. Also, blackout blinds /curtains in the bedrooms.

Fantastic Beachside Location

This apartment is in a small building (only a couple of other apartments), lovely and quiet location, and with gorgeous sea views. From the (open-plan) living area you can see the Isle of Wight, big cruise ships in the distance, and close up, little sailing boats, windsurfers and kitesurfers. Go through the back garden and you're onto the coastal path and the beach. A 10-minute walk away there's Hayling Railway, cafes, ice cream parlor, mini supermarket, pubs, etc. Apartment was super clean, the internet was super fast, and the place was nice and comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay, just wished it was a bit longer!

Lovely property.

Excellent property. Very clean, comfortable and convenient. Would highly recommend but surprised to see the advice to use the side door rather than the patio windows for access to the garden. The weather being good and having a dog to keep an eye on we chose to ignore this "suggestion " and everything worked O.K. The location and outlook make the sliding doors into the garden a crucial part of the properties charm, so don't be put off. We had a lovely weekend. Many thanks.

A beautifully presented GF apartment on the sea front.

The apartment is equipped with everything you need for your stay. The master bedroom is huge with lots of wardrobes although I would take a few more hangers next time. The second bedroom has limited floor space if using the pull out double but it is still a very usable space. The lounge and dining room are bright and spacious overlooking a pretty garden. I would comment that the back garden needs a side gate to prevent dogs and kids disappearing up the side of the house so you have to make sure the front gate is shut. The shower room has a large walk in shower and is well laid out and clean but a non slip shower mat or a grab rail is definitely needed as it gets very slippy in the cubicle. I took my elderly parents here and they managed very well around the place but a central handrail into the garden would be very helpful so that people can be more independent. All in all it was a super break and I would definitely go back again. They even had a Nespresso machine with Pods, which I loved so much I bought one when I got home. Parking is great and you can get right next to the entrance. The owners have provided a fab place to stay and I would definitely recommend. Thanks.

Accurate online portrayal. Lovely location alongside the beach, especially in summer. Property lacks kerb appeal, but once inside accommodation delivers. Hope to stay again when visiting family.
