Sea Grove

Ventnor sits on the south coast of the Isle of Wight where the downs meet the sea, and this detached bungalow is within easy reach of the beach, the coastal path and the town's shops and restaurants. Everything is on the ground floor—living room with French doors onto a patio, separate dining room, kitchen with a full range of appliances, and three bedrooms sleeping seven in total: a double, a kingsize and a bunk bed arrangement. Two bathrooms serve the property, one ensuite to the main bedroom. The enclosed terraced garden has furniture and a barbecue, and there is parking for three cars on site.

Essentials like electricity, heating, bed linen and wi-fi are included. The property suits families and friends looking for a seaside base without stairs to navigate, though the lower garden does slope and there are steps between levels outside. One well-behaved pet is welcome. From here you can walk to Steephill Cove or along the sea wall towards Bonchurch, or spend time at the Botanical Gardens, Blackgang Chine or the Donkey Sanctuary—all within a short distance. The beach itself is half a mile away, as are the nearest shops, pubs and restaurants.
