A fantastic holiday in a beautiful cottage. Great sea views. Great walking and a lovely host. What more could you want - definitely somewhere we will be recommending to others.

Our first visit to Sea Shells by the Beach and will certainly not be our last.
What a fantastic cottage and location, spotlessly clean.
We were greeted on arrival by Annabelle who was a lovely lady that has put a lot of thought, time and effort into making this accomodation so well equipped and comfortable.
Views are outstanding and the garden so welcoming and comfortable as we were so lucky with the exceptional weather.
Footsteps from the sea which was so inviting to cool down and Gary even had to rescue someone from the sea after he came into difficulty and was alerted to cries of help whilst sitting in the garden. Coastguard/ Annabelle took care of him once out of the sea.
Beautiful walk into Ventnor. Food in Spyglass, Ventnor, very good.
Cake and flowers upon arrival a lovely touch. Will definitely be returning and would like to bring my daughters.
Thank you Annabelle and look forward to seeing you on our next visit.

PS Mum really enjoyed it too and didn't want to go home
MESSAGE FROM ANNABELLE. Gary, you are an absolute HERO. You saved that boy's life just as he had gone under the water and Debbie is amazing for standing by you and watching you. The other hero was my neighbour Lawrence who jumped in the sea and threw you the life saving ring and rope and Heather, his wife, for comforting the boy's family. I am mighty proud!! Thank you xx

Thank you for our holiday at your lovely house.
It was wonderful to wake up to see the sea each morning.
The highlight of our week was Blackgang Chine, closely followed by the Steam Railway.
Oh, and the house was great for hide and seek!

Thank you for a very warm welcome - the chocolate cake was delicious!! We really enjoyed our stay at Sea Shells. The house is lovely with personal touches, amazing views and real home away from home.
We will miss waking up to the sound of waves -there are few things as relaxing as the open sea.
An extra thank you for making our girl feel special and very welcome.
We will come back soon again.
Therese, Colin and Maddy.
Dear Annabelle
Thank you for the lovely Easter present and this great holiday and the rocking chair and everything in the apartment.
So I made you a card that I coloured in. Love Maddy

Thank you for a warm welcome, lovely flat and the cake! We have had a great time here enjoying sitting in the garden listening to and watching the sea as well as all the fantastic places we have found for the first time, such as Steephill Cove and our favourites revisited. The flat is very comfortable and a great place to stay.
Thank you again - Alicia, Paul, Jill and Mike and the dogs!

Thank you Annabelle for a lovely relaxing week in your beautiful cottage, we have loved the wonderful sea view (the girls haven't had the tv on all week!)
Everything was perfect - the best equipped and most comfortable holiday home we have ever stayed in.
The yummy chocolate cake and lovely flowers were a very nice touch much appreciated. None of us want to go home and would love to come back again maybe next year.
Thank you Annabelle for your hard work in making the cottage perfect.

Thank you for an amazing stay at Sea Shells by the Beach, a beautiful place to stay and relax. It's been lovely just seeing the the sea and the waves crashing in. We were even able to enjoy breakfast outside due to the lovely weather and take advantage of the deckchairs with a cheeky snooze in the afternoon.
The cottage is so well equipped and very comfortable and spacious even with four adults, a four year old and a dog!
Thanks for a great stay

What a wonderful place!
We have been in a number of holiday homes over the years in the IOW and this is one of the best.
Sitting outside by the sea having breakfast was an absolute joy.
We also appreciated all the "little things" like flowers in our rooms, Easter eggs, the delicious Easter cake and everywhere the theme is "sea and shells" from pictures on the walls and "little things" hanging from door handles!
It's no wonder you won a 5 star award - we would have given 6!
We had a most enjoyable family holiday and look forward to coming again.

Our second visit here this year (which says it all !).
Such a lovely welcome (flowers, cake and milk), lovely location and lovely owner. Even lovely weather- a real bonus. Annabelle really goes out of her way to make her guests comfortable and she has thought of everything. We would love to come again but availability is very limited (and we aren't getting any younger !!) but this really is a taste of paradise.

This is our 4th holiday at Sea Shells by the Beach and it just keeps on giving! Another fantastic week, we totally love this place.
We are all fascinated by the changing colour of the sea, love the clear sky at night and the ship watching APP
Charlie and Rosie (the dogs) love it here too. The sandy beach at the bottom end of the road was a perfect place for Rosie to learn to swim.
Thank you as always for your warm welcome and all of the personal touches- it feels like home and the sea view is to die for!
See you in October ! X X X

We had a brilliant time, Annabelle was fantastic and really helpful.The wonderful view is so relaxing and restful, we are all rested from our peaceful week at Seashells.
Would recommend Besty and Spinkys (Ventnor Haven Harbour) and the fish market opposite for the freshest fish ever.
The walk along the esplanade to Ventnor is invigorating and beautiful at the same time.
Would recommend taking the car to Ventnor if you want to go shopping as a very steep climb up to the town from the esplanade.
We would love to come again if we can find a week that is available !!
Thank you Annabelle for everything

Dearest Annabelle
From the first time we emailed you , all those months ago, I knew that we had found somewhere special. And I was right!! From our lovely warm welcome from you, to the most fantastic accomodation- you have thought of everything. The sea- well what can one say? We are already planning our trip back. Thanks for the recommendation of eateries. We had the most amazing breakfast at Betsy and Spinkys (get there early !) and a lovely chinese in Ventnor (New China House). We also found The Rex in Ventnor for a special italian meal! Oh and Smuggler's Haven for a wonderful cream tea with spectacular sea views!
Thanks for letting us stay in what is well deserved ***** accomodation. Hope to see you again! much love The de St Denis family XXX

We have had a lovely week in this quite unique property. The view is stunning and Annabelle has thought of everything to make her guests confortable. The weather has been disappointing for June, but we are hoping to be back - maybe this summer. Our two westies have settled in well and enjoyed watching people walk by through the gate! We have the benefit of knowing the Island well, as we had a property here in Bonchurch for four years from 2000-2004. It has been really enjoyable to come back, and to such a property as this - how lucky can you get?
Thank you so much, Annabelle, for everything. Jenny and Derek
