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 !!!

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

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

A really lovely, comfortable cottage with a well equipped kitchen and fabulous location. All our queries were dealt with quickly and efficiently so it was a trouble free week.The perfect weather made it even more enjoyable, as did being able to have our elderly dog with us. Idyllic holiday.

What can we say that we haven't already! I think this is our FIFTH VISIT and I am sure won't be our last! Everything is absolutely beautiful and Annabelle is as wonderful as ever! We have been lucky with the weather this time (apart from the first day) Nothing is too much trouble for the delightful Annabelle, all the little touches are amazing-beautiful flowers, lovely yummy cake, and even thoughtful things for our furry friends. Cannot recommend highly enough. TEN STARS !! Thank you so much Patricia and Mike xx

What a truly fabulous find! The house exceeded our expectations on every front. It definitely deserves its award of 5 stars and more! The view out across the sea is simply magnificent. The house is very well equipped and beautifully designed. Annabelle was the perfect hostess. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and will return again in the future. With warmest and heartfelt thanks. All your efforts are very much appreciated. Belinda xx

What an amazing cottage! We have loved every minute of our stay. Beautiful views, cosy interiors and plenty to do on our days out. Weather has been brilliant and we have thoroughly enjoyed many a meal out and relaxed and unwound wonderfully during our week. Our dogs have enjoyed the walks and the kids enjoyed their ice-creams! Many thanks Annabelle for sharing your wonderful haven!

We have all thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house is beautifully presented and equipped with everything anyone could possibly need. So much thought has gone into its presentation and it was so lovely to walk into a spotlessly clean, comfortable house with a fabulous sea view.
Annabelle is a very attentive host with a genuine concern for her guests comfort.
The garden is a real sun spot and the furniture provided is of high quality and comfortable and the position of the garden is private. The little beaches a real bonus for our visiting grandchildren. We loved it.

Dear Annabelle,With family members very worried about Covid, we were extremely appreciative of the efforts made to ensure the property was beyond spotless,with everything we needed to stay safe.
Thank you for a fantastic holiday in your beautiful cottage.From fresh flowers and cakes on arrival to secret delivery of personalised Easter treats for the kids,our stay has been perfect and we have wanted for nothing!
We have been lucky enough to see the seal from the garden while enjoying beautiful views and weather.HOLIDAY RECOMMENDATIONS: We have enjoyed a great meal at LE TOUR de MONDE,VENTNOR (cannot recommend highly enough and worth the money!) They were very accommodating for 11 yr old and vegan customers.
THE BOTANICAL GARDENS ,Ventnor, were beautiful and relaxing ,even on a rainy day and the children aged 11 and 2.5 yrs loved THE MINIATURE VILLAGE at GODSHILL with a reasonably priced tea and cake in THE OLD SMITHY and a walk around the very creative hidden gardens.
WOOD'S KITCHEN GODSHILL,CHOCOLATE ISLAND and THE ROCK SHOP(SHANKLIN) were great for the kids and a visit to the beach in Ventnor helped to burn off the extra energy!
This family holiday has been long over-due,thank you Annabelle ,for helping to make it perfect!!Lots of love John, Carol,Andrew, Nicola,Laura,Gavin,Amelia,Rory,Harry and Winston xxx

Many thanks for providing us with such lovely Christmassy "home away from home" when we needed it! Seashells is one of our favourite places,a perfect place to recharge but it is something special with wintery waves crushing in and the whole house is so lovely, decorated with Annabelle's personal touches everywhere-magical!
It has been a wonderful Christmas due to Annabelle's hospitality and we will no doubt be back for a 4th time!

First class holiday with first class service from a first class hostess! Attention to detail is the watchword at "Sea Shells by the Beach". From the pre-holiday information pack to the notes around the house,nothing is left to chance,including being fully covid compliant!

What a wonderful week we have had at "Seashells". Not only have we been blessed with glorious autumnal weather all week long but this gorgeous,tranquil,delightful place has exceeded all our expectations. Annabelle's artistic flair and attention to detail is second to none. This place is really special. Five stars are not enough! Thank you for your warmth and hospitality and for looking after us so well. We've enjoyed a really memorable time here and just seen a school of dolphins swim past-the icing on the cake!
