This is a return visit for us and it lived up to expectations
.Sea Shells by the Beach is immaculate and so pretty. We wanted for nothing (although more sun would have been lovely but nothing Annabelle could have done about that)
We had friends to stay with us for a few days and they were very impressed. We all agreed it was the best holiday let we had ever stayed in. I could look at that view everyday and not get tired of it.
I will have to wait for a year for another "fix" though.
Thank you again Annabelle,you have provided something special here.
Judy and Graham, Surrey.

We've had a wonderful stay at Seashells.The photos on the website don't do it justice and the 5 star rating is well deserved.
Annabelle is a non intrusive lovely lady who really cares about her guests comfort.
We were blessed with good weather,great sea views, and we also saw some of the Glanville Fritillary butterflies! Our dogs made themselves very much at home,so the four of us had a very relaxing, enjoyable holiday.
Best wishes for many more happy guests.

We spent an amazing 2 weeks at Sea Shells by the Beach. Returning after 12 months, we still find the whole experience amazing. The facilities are fantastic and the view is second to none,especially because of the visits from the seal and the pod of dolphins! Unbelievable!
Many visits to the quaint and quirky Bonchurch Inn. Always a warm welcome and delicious food.
On top of everything thank you Annabelle for another wonderful holiday, we lacked for nothing and our friends who visited for the weekend have been converted to "Seashells" magic.
See you next year!
Love from Irene,Paul and Molly dog xxx

Annabelle thanks for the wonderful accommodation right by the sea! We all loved fossil hunting on the beach but we had to put them back because people were building a sea wall. The best bit was going to Osborne House and having an ice cream on the beach. We loved our stay it was beautiful. Best wishes
Lucy 7,Emily 5, James 8 months ,Katherine and Andy. We are maybe returning. Annabelle THANK YOU !!!!!! Super House ! I loved the eggs and the bunny and Teddy- Lucy.

Enjoyed a great stay at Sea Shells. Weather was great until the last night, if anything was a bit hot for the first few days!
Walks along the landslip and the sea wall were lovely.
Sitting watching the sea made us feel like we were on a cruise!
Sea Shells by the Beach is a stunning house.

Thank you,Annabelle for the wonderful time we have here. We saw a pod of dolphins from Ventnor beach and they were beautiful. My brother loved sunbathing in your deckchairs. I love the chocolate bunny as well as your Easter cakes. We will return next year. Hope you enjoy Easter. Love from Sophie, Matthew, Catherine and Keith. Goodbye !

A wonderfully relaxing holiday in Annabelle's beautiful beach house.
It's impossible to tire of the stunning views-look out for the seal, he made several appearances whilst we were here!
We explored much of the Island- Cowes and Yarmouth were our favourite -The Coast Bar in Cowes is fabulous for food but you need to book. Swimming at Ventnor is lovely ,as are the ice creams!
Thank you for a gorgeous hols-the 5 star rating is most definitely deserved.
Much love ,The Sleep Family. West Sussex.

WOW !! FANTASTIC 14 days spent at Sea Shells by the Beach.
Absolutely splendid- the view took our breath away.
The cottage facilities were very comfortable and catered for all our needs.
The cottage is decorated to a very high standard, very smart and clean and you have truly thought of everything we could need.
"Fantastic location" " Amazing view".
We have had the best fortnight ever. Imogen has enjoyed and loved the beach, exploring the rock pools and the walks along the sea front to Ventnor.
Lots of love Pete, Abbey, Imogen and Bella.

Really lovely week by the sea. Very comfortable accommodation-thank you Annabelle.
We enjoyed Sea Shells by the Beach and it's great location and lovely facilities.
Lovely meals at home with a choice of tables inside and out,all with a sea view! Strolled into Ventnor for ice creams and fish and chips. Enjoyed a great visit to Osborn House. Lovely drive across the Downs to Culver-great views.
Tasty meals in Sandown and Shanklin on the beachfront.Enjoyed a trip over to Bembridge and Seaview. Fun watching all the boats and activity there.
Great swimming and beach fun at Bonchurch. Also butterfly and seal spotting and watching the world go by.
Thank you for a delightful week
