Good location, within walking distance of the seafront and Shanklin town.

Property was very compact but well appointed, clean and comfortable. Good parking space but the drive entrance was narrow and steep so that when entering or leaving, one had to be extra careful. The owners were very friendly and helpful. A general store (Co-op) with all requirements just a few minutes away and the property is on the main bus route giving destinations to Ryde, Ventnor and Newport. A good pub/restaurant called the Hideaway 5-10 minutes walk away situated on the clifftop was made use of on a few occasions. It offered a good menu and a wide range of beers, lagers and wines.

Holiday stay

Owners friendly and welcoming with lots of little ‘extras’ left for us. Property though very pleasant was rather cramped for two adults and weeks belongings.
Response from VrboOwner on 25 Mar, 2020
There is a good amount of storage in the apartment including a double wardrobe with top shelf, a chest of drawer. A roll out storage box under the settee. Apart from that there is a large wide shelf over doorway in the the large bathroom taking two suitcases. There is extra space under the free standing beds and a hanging unit with shelf above. There is a 2"wide high level shelf in the lounge. There is also a fully fitted kitchen.

Absolutely lovely host and cottage

John and Johanne are the perfekt host. They gave us a very warm welcome and made us a comfy stay. The cottage with the little garden is very adorable. We had all what we need. The house is situatet in a central location. You can go by feet to the sea and the little lovely town. The little cottage is in a quite neighborhood. The Isle of Wight is awesome. The people are very friendly and there is a lot of stuff to do. We especially loved the beautiful gardens, the lovely houses and the cute animals. We will love to come back to the Isle and to Johannes und Johns Place. Thank you for everyting

Great apartment, location & hosts

Just returned from a week’s stay and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a great little place to stay being conveniently located, well equipped and privately located. The owners Johanne and John were very welcoming and friendly. The apartment had some nice welcoming touches to it, even including a bottle of wine and a couple of beers in the fridge, which is nice after a long drive. Also some tea, coffee, milk etc which keeps you going until you can pop to the shop of which one is located 2 minutes’ walk away. Would definitely recommend and would definitely return.

Lovely apartment in great location.

We stayed here with our son last week. When we arrived the place was clean and table laid ready for dinner with a bottle of wine included. Soap and shower gels, tea and coffee were provided. There was a twin room and and soda bed in living area. I which opens easily into a 4 foot double bed. There is a small patio outside but due to poor weather we didn't get to use that. The location was perfect for the seafront., restaurants and amenities. If you like walking you can walk all the way to Sandown along the seafront either on promenade or cliff tops. The owners live next door so are always on hand if need be. We would love to return one day.

Comfortable attractive apartment, and friendly owners who invited us to their party! Quite handy for the town once we were used to the hill. Good bus and train service and also good smooth roads to ease the driving round a busy island.

Very quiet and nice and clean

Recently we stayed at the Swiss Chalet. The apartment was very clean and in a quiet area. When we arrived the owners were very helpful and pleasant to deal with and put a thoughtful touch to the apartment. We stayed with my 7 years old daughter and the apartment is a good walking distance to the village centre it is not a walking distance for a small child to the seaside, however there is off-street parking and car park parking available. The location is very convenient for daily outings, attractions and it is really easy to get around the island from here. The sleeping arrangements in this apartment are via twin beds and a sofa that converts in the lounge rather than a double bed as the description suggested. Overall we had a pleasant experience and a nice stay. It would have been nice if John or Johanne were there when checking out.

We had an 8 year old and a 7 year old staying here previously and they walked to the beach most days. It takes me 6 minutes easy walk and the town center is an easy 8-10 minutes walk away. The description of the apartment does state that its a double bedroom with two 3 feet beds that can be joined to form a double bed if so wished.

WE MOVED TO THE ISLAND IN 2010 AND HAVE DONE HOLIDAY LETTINGS SINCE THEN.
WE USED TO COME TO THE ISLAND ON HOLIDAYS MANY TIMES A YEAR AND IN THE END DECIDED TO MAKE IT OUR HOME.
WE HAVE NEVER REGRETTED MOVING HERE JUST WISH WE HAD DONE IT EARLIER

Why they chose this property

WE LIKED THE PROPERTY AND THE VERY LARGE PLOT IT STANDS ON.
ALSO YOU ARE NEAR TO ALL AMENITIES LIKE BEACH, TOWN CENTER, TRAINS,
BUS ROUTES ETC. EVERYTHING IS WITHIN 10 MINUTES WALKING DISTANCE,
YET THE HOUSE AND THE APARTMENT IS SET BACK AND PRIVATE

What makes this property unique

Very airy extra high ceilings with downlighters.
Nobody above you or to the side plus very private garden.
