Dear Annabelle,this beautiful place is a wonder. Rob and Derek had told us so much about their previous stays but nothing could actually compare to being here and experiencing it for ourselves,the attention to detail, the cleanliness,the view are outstanding,the only let down was the weather but even that couldn't spoil our enjoyment of our surroundings,so much so, we hope to be back very soon. Thank you for providing everything we could need and more.

Heatwaves and thunderstorms but nothing disturbs the idyllic serenity of SSBTB. Many thanks as always to Annabelle for creating and allowing us to share this haven of tranquility.

We have enjoyed a fantastic week here. Annabelle has been absolutely brilliant accommodating our son and his wife when their weekend hotel booking was cancelled at the last minute. The house had everything we could possibly need and was spotlessly clean. We would never tire of this wonderful view and a child free holiday would probably see us not leaving the house! We did have great fun at Black Gang Chine and Robin Hill (especially the toboggan run) The Needles were great too (especially the yellow boat ride and the fireworks) EATING OUT: The Spy glass Inn was fantastic-no booking but did not wait long and the food was fantastic. The Wheatsheaf Inn, Yarmouth, beautiful pub,fabulous food and service.

We all have had a lovely stay at Sea Shells by the Beach. The views are fantastic and it is well located for local walks and traveling and visiting the Island. The accommodation is clean and tidy with cosy beds and equipped with everything you need. The weather has been kind to us and we've had a fantastic week!

We have had an absolutely idyllic week in this magical place. We had plans to explore the island but the cottage was so lovely we hardly wanted to stray beyond Ventnor beach and Sybil loved hunting for crabs on Monk's Bay. Annabelle was a wonderful host and we feel incredibly lucky to have ended our summer holiday here-thank you so much! Emily B

Loved the magical entrance to the house and it just kept unfolding! What a beautiful place. Amazing view out to sea which just allowed us to all relax. We will miss it as we all go back to our busy working schedules. You have thought of everything and we have no suggestions for improvement. Thank you for a wonderful week

Another wonderful stay at Seashells. The weather was very mixed but watching the stormy sea from the comfort of the daybeds was no issue! Great visits to The Botanical Gardens, a family surf lesson at Compton and a wonderful lunch at The George in Yarmouth. Shanti loved her walks on the beach and the wifi kept the teenagers amused. Thanks to Annabelle for more holiday memories X

We have just had a fabulous stay at Seashells and couldn't imagine a more idyllic spot! We were very lucky with the weather and spent most of our time lounging around in deckchairs instead of exploring! We did visit Osborne House and the Botanic Gardens, both of which, although quite expensive to get in, were well worth it. It's time to go home now but we very much hope to be back again one day! Thank you Annabelle for providing such comfort! Bette,Kathleen,Gillian,Nick,Holly,Ben and Becky the pooch. PS.Bette says " I lived by the sea in E. Africa so this lovely view brought back such wonderful memories! Thank you Bette"

SEA SHELLS BY THE BEACH. Some years ago when walking on the coast path from Ventnor to Bonchurch,we came upon intriguing steps going up to a gate leading into a hidden garden. The thought of living there was beguiling, so we were delighted to find a box of leaflets saying that the place was available as a holiday let. The leaflet stayed in a desk drawer for several years but thinking of somewhere in England to go this year, it was found and a booking made with the charming Annabelle. What a gem! Annabelle has created the ideal beach cottage, superbly comfortable,pristine and as well equipped as you could wish. The only sound is the sea and one can stretch out on a long chair in total privacy, though able to watch the ships passing by. Annabelle takes infinite trouble to ensure her guests have everything they need and have a wonderful time. We have already booked another week later in the year. Christopher and Gail.

Another amazing stay at Sea Shells by the Beach. Such a beautiful location, you can always guarantee a relaxing stay! A visit to The Seapot (Wheeler's Bay), Bonchurch Inn and Taverners (Godshill) is thoroughly worthwhile for delicious food and all are very welcoming (including dogs). Thank you Annabelle for such a fantastic stay and all the personal touches. Take care.See you next year!
