The apartment was located right on the seafront at Sandown allowing easy access to the beach and the sea.. An enclosed terrace on the property frontage caught the sun for most of the day. Internal layout was practical and spacious with a well equipped kitchen. Conveniently the bus stop was right outside the door. All in all, a very enjoyable and comfortable break for the two of us.

Its beautifully decorated and opening the curtains to the sea every morning was such a treat!
Really lovely time, I'd highly recommend
I've left with a couple of bruises on my shins from trying to navigate around the huge bed... nothing you can do to improve other than ditch the ottoman for a smaller frame.
But great having a super king sized bed
