Amazing Apartment on the beautiful Isle of Wight

Stayed at the beach retreat for a family holiday with our dog. The location is perfect for the beach (just a short walk away via the cliff path) and amazing views around the bay. The apartment was very clean and tidy on arrival, and had all the mod cons we needed. Beds were very comfortable. 5 Stars

We had a wonderful week at The Beach Retreat

We had a wonderful week at The Beach Retreat. It was spotlessly clean, large bedrooms with lovely linen and the kitchen was well stocked with kitchen equipment, every thing we could need. We had a few issues that were dealt with swiftly and resolved completely. The apartment was quiet, safe and secure. Overall we really had a wonderful week and it was everything we could have wanted. Thank you.

Great location

Lovely views across Sandown bay. Direct access to the cliff path and down to the esplanade took us to several dog-friendly cafes. The others in our party, one elderly and one with restricted mobility, both appreciated the wide access and short distance to the car park. We are booking again next year. The showers really do create a flood on the bathroom floor. A long handled squeegee would allow guests to sweep the puddles into the drain.

Lovely apartment

Lovely apartment in a great position with views over the sea. A couple of minor problems were dealt with immediately. A bit tight for 6 people but absolutely fine for 4 adults. Well stocked kitchen with everything we needed to cook in.
