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 !

NEW YEAR 8th January 2019
Annabelle is the Mary Poppins of the Island-Practically Perfect in Every way! and so is Sea Shells by the Beach!
We have already booked our third visit and are sure we will be back after that. The attention to detail is superb and all the lovely little touches make such a difference. It is fab to find such a lovely host that really cares about "two feets " and our precious "four feet" friends. Thank you!
Our poem:
A stay at Sea Shells by the "shore",
Will always leave one wanting more!
Annabelle is the fabulous host,
She is thoughtful,attentive and "the most"!
Everything is lovely,spick and span,
And we are all the biggest fans!

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.
FANTASTIC TIME Annabelle see you again XXX

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

Thank you for your warm welcome to this lovely area of the Island. Sea Shells is indeed a special place and we have loved every minute of being here.
The view is superb and the accommodation perfect.
There is always lots to do on the Island but it has been difficult to tear ourselves away from just sitting with a good book, a glass of wine, Radio 3 and the mesmerising sea view !!
Thank you for the tasty carrot cake and the wonderful roses. They lasted the whole week.
It was lovely meeting you Annabelle and I am sure we shall be seeing you again!
Best wishes
Susan and Colin

We travelled from the South of Scotland for this sea side location.Weather has been really good and very hot on a couple of days.Have walked the coastal path from Bonchurch and covered Shanklin, Sandown and Bembridge Down. Nice walk from here to Ventnor along the promenade.
The house deserves it's 5 star rating with everything thought of.We've self catered for many years and this is as good as it gets.
Really pleased to have properly organised recycling as it is here.

We can only echo what everyone else has written about their experiences of Sea Shells by the Beach. What a lovely place to spend a week by the sea; a view to die for. .
Clean, charming, comfortable and well equipped.
Thank you so much Annabelle.

Dear Annabelle,
We came to "Sea Shells by the Beach" with our little scmoodle-Molly-to celebrate a special day/date. Our 30 years anniversary of being together.
Little did we know how very special it would turn out to be.
Sea Shells by the Beach is incredible and to top it all, the weather this week was amazing.
However, the main reason it was so special is because of your attention to detail.
The cake,fairy lights,wine and even a lovely bottle of champagne for our special day.
Thank you for making our week absolutely unforgettable. We will definitely be returning.
Thank you so much
love from Irene , Paul and Molly -dog
