We've experienced a wonderful week! This home is a delight to stay in, the beds are comfortable, the view is outstanding and we wanted for nothing. Everything is so beautifully done and well thought out. Annabelle, you have been amazing! Thank you for the special touches making mum's birthday so memorable! We felt far away from all the world and will 100% be back to stay again- thank you so much xx
Thank you to all my wonderful guests who have stayed. I look forward to welcoming new and returning guests to Sea Shells by the Beach.
Very exciting news has been that following my first inspection and grading by Visit England, the cottage received a 5 star GOLD grading!!!!

We have had a wonderful time-despite the weather! This a GREAT place to stay and we have all felt restored. We love the peace and we are transfixed by the view. Dogs are much calmer here than they are at home! Thank you for all the amazing care and attention and cleanliness! We hope to come again soon
Many thanks Annabelle for another great holiday. We have certainly been blessed with the weather this week. We have enjoyed the cream tea at Vernon Cottage in Shanklin and The Culver Haven Inn on Culver Down is worth a visit and the views are fantastic. Also The White Lion at Niton is great. Thank you for the chocolates, wine and cake. Everything lovely as ever. Love Carole,Alan,Elaine, Louise and Paul.
Thank you for a wonderful stay as always! We have so many amazing memories from our 10 years of staying here! Lots of love,see you in 2024! Xx
Wonderful time in this delightful place.Didn't see a cloud all week and we were very well sheltered in the garden from a N.E.wind.Glorious! Annabelle, you go above and beyond in your attention to detail and lovely welcome. So comfortable here we don't want to leave! In fact ,we didn't leave it much during the week but sat in the garden soaking up the sun, it was like being on a Greek Island! Our favourite eatery was "The Seapot", lovely platters washed down with very quaffable Rose (and a sneaky Pimms one day!) Also lovely meal at Bonchurch Inn (step back in time), "allcomers" menu at The Spyglass, a bit posher at The Buddle Inn (take a cardigan!) and genuine Sardinian welcome and food at Pavarottis in Shanklin. Thank you Annabelle for such a memorable week x
We enjoyed the ideal location with its excellent sea views,but also the privacy. The level of equipment and cleanliness was outstanding. The decor bright yet welcoming. We had a very relaxing time ,not needing to travel far. We all loved it!
We have had a really restful week in this beautiful cottage. The view is amazing and adds something very special to our stay on the island. The cottage is so comfortable and full of personal touches which we have appreciated. The dogs have loved the beautiful walks and we are leaving rested and refreshed. Would love to return. Many thanks from us all x
JUST WOW!
We are blown away by the beauty of the cottage and the many special touches that Annabelle has added-especially the Easter goodies and Izzy's birthday pressie.
The view is idylic-Seashells is magical-you couldn't want for more.
We will be back-Thank you! Anthony, Fiona, Faith, Izzy ,Brodie and Sassy X

Dear Annabelle,thank you so much for making us feel at home. We appreciate you for making the house lovely and clean. We have all enjoyed ourselves exploring the island. We are all very sad to be leaving as we have had a blast. We love to wake up and look out to sea. Thank you so much for the gifts and hope to see you soon xxx
Thank you once again Annabelle for making our holiday absolutely perfect. Your cottage is sublime, the attention to detail is amazing and it is so clean and gorgeous. We all love just sitting watching the sea and the boats. The Isle of Wight is a magical island and your cottage and "you", Annabelle, make it perfect. We cannot wait to see you again next year.
Thank you for helping us to have a wonderful holiday. We appreciate your efforts to make us feel welcome especially as the house is so clean and comfortable. Thank you for the extra treats. We love Bonchurch and the Isle of Wight and the weather has been perfect. You really deserve the title "Super Host". We hope to see you again one day.
It has been a wonderful place to celebrate Nick's 70th birthday with the family. Sea Shells is perfect and your attention to detail, Annabelle , appreciated by us all. We love the island and know it well but this stay has surpassed all others elsewhere. So a very big thank you from all of us. P.S. This was the week England (Heathrow) had the highest temperatures ever recorded at 40.2 .C !!!
This has been our first visit to the Isle of Wight and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect cottage to stay in! Annabelle is a super host,thinking of absolutely everything (even the sweet treats). We are very sad to be heading home and have already got our countdown on for our next stay here at Sea Shells. Thank you Annabelle for everything,see you next year! xxxx
Another wonderful holiday here.Very sorry to leave .Thanks Annabelle.
We have had yet another amazing holiday at Sea Shells. We have been lucky enough to see dolphins and a seal from the garden this time. We have had perfect weather and this house has become our very special place for our family holiday,so much so we have already booked to return next year. Annabelle is a very special lady and her attention to detail is second to none and we cannot thank her enough. XXX
We have had a week here,mainly gasping at the view! But also amazed by the standard of thoughtfulness in how well the accommodation is equipped.Thank you. We loved the privacy too
