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 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!!!!

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

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.

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

WOW what can we say?! Such a truly beautiful house in a stunning location! The "welcome "gift of a cake and milk was much appreciated!
Looking out over the sea, watching the waves crash on the rocks was lovely and we couldn't believe our luck when we saw a pod of dolphins out in the sea!
The house is stunning- we really couldn't have wished for a nicer place to stay!
Thank you for making us so welcome Annabelle and the cleanliness and attention to detail in "Sea Shells by the Beach" is second to none! We would definitely come back again!

This house really has the WOW factor. Spotlessly clean and lovely "extra " touches.Thank you so much for the flowers and carrot cake-very much appreciated.
We've really enjoyed the beautiful decor and quality throughout-so nice to have this- and you allowed us to bring our dogs.
Spotted a seal close to the shore, which was a lovely surprise.
Can highly recommend The Spyglass for every meal and The Isle of Wight Pearl was a lovely visit-beautiful setting--sofas,cafe, allows dogs and can look at beautiful jewellery.
The view from the sitting room makes for a truly relaxing experience , whatever the weather.
Annabelle, you have provided absolutely everything possible we may have needed. The extra storage in the hall area was a bonus. Well deserved 5 stars!
Thank you for a fantastic stay. This has been a very special way to celebrate husband's 50th birthday and created lots of happy memories X

WOW- Seashells by the Beach definitely has the X factor!
Thank you Annabelle for such a lovely welcome-we have had such a wonderful holiday in your beautiful cottage we really don't want to leave.... Such a perfect place and an ideal spot for relaxing by the sea or exploring the Island.
Spotting a lizard sunbathing in the garden was an added bonus this morning and the day ended with an unexpected flourish of lightening visible across the sea-WOW again!
love from Helen , Phil and Christine XX we do hope to return!
