About this property

Luxury, award winning Art Deco house for special holidays and family events

The Art Deco HouseUK offers luxury self catering family holiday accommodation for up to 16 guests.

A wonderful original and unique Art-Deco House overlooking Sandown Bay on the Isle of Wight which is probably one of the most spectacular self-catering properties in the whole of Southern England. Rated in the top 3 self catering properties by Beautiful South, featured in magazines and national newspapers many times, a destination in itself.

Offering spectacular sea views (and sunrises) over Sandown Bay towards Culver Cliff, this magnificent villa was built in 1929 and takes full advantage of the cliff-top location, and is probably one of the Isle of Wight’s premium properties.
This grand detached house has decadently proportioned rooms: all main living and bedrooms have large windows topped by stained glass detail, framing the vistas. Art Deco influences include an upstairs sun room with huge sliding picture windows to enjoy the breathtaking sunrises by day and bay illuminations by night. Stained glass windows bring out the oak-panelled hallway, magnificent staircase and galleried landing.

Sleeping up to 16 guests comfortably across 6/7 bedrooms with a magnificent Art-Deco lounge (seating 16 comfortably) and a 20 seater dining table, this house is perfectly suited to a multi-generational family get together (and is an accessible property for wheelchair users).

Start your day in our house, by experiencing the most stunning and beautiful colours of sunrise, by leaving your seaward facing curtains open, even just a little so that you awake naturally. The sunrise photo shown here is a 100% genuine view from the window, taken on a mobile phone!

From the house, there are wonderful cliff top walks (or runs), you are right above the beach (actually it is a lot of steps to get down, perfect for walking off the dinner. If you have the excuse of a pushchair or use a wheelchair, then you may take the more leisurely slope down!) There are lots of cycle routes across the island. The whole of the Isle of Wight awaits you.

Included in the price are all linens (bedding and towels, except cot bedding), and free very fast internet and wifi.

Highest Grade Award by English Tourist Board ( 5 Stars and GOLD STANDARD for Customer Service ) for many years
Visit-Britain Mobility Grade 1 & 2.

At an additional price, a special dinner including an in-house chef and hostess/stewardess can be provided for the evening or freshly pre-prepared gourmet meals delivered which you simply heat up and serve. A special event cake can also be organised.

The property is fully licensed for alcohol and we can provide a list of carefully selected magnums of wine and some fine champagne (and not at silly prices). For those seriously into wine, we also have a private collection that we can draw some exceptional cases of wine for the discerning palate.

About the host

Hosted by Laurence Smith

Host profile image
Sharon and Laurence bought this property in 2014 as their one and only holiday let property, which one day, when they both retire, will become their family home. Sharon is an executive in the music industry with a wonderful eye for design and colour. Laurence works in the IT (computer) industry, so leaves all the design to Sharon, he simply has no idea! Look for us on

Why they chose this property

This property was bought because we love it, we love the architecture and we love the design. Each year we will introduce more and more Art-Deco 1930's features including more Art-Deco furnishings and furniture. Our goal over the next five years is to make The Art Deco HouseUK one of the leading Art Deco houses in the UK. Uniquely, our business plan is that any profits we make from this house will be reinvested in the house, upgrading it continually. This is our home, and we are delighted to let you borrow it for your holiday or short break.

What makes this property unique

The design of the house is so wonderful and so true to the designs of the Art Deco era. It is a house that as you wander around you will say 'wow!' as you see the original incredible designs of the windows, the views of the sea, the spacious lounge and the sun room. You will not have stayed anywhere quite like this before. We hope that if you stay with us, you and your guests/friends will watch our journey into the incredible designs of the 20's and 30's as we continually take the property back to the luxury and wonder of a bygone age, and maybe, in the years to come, come back and see how it has changed. It is wonderful right now, but will be truly amazing in the years to come.
(we defy you to not say 'wow' as least 4 times when you first arrive!)
