In the heart of Sandown, very close to the magnificent beach, 1 Melville Street has been made into a bespoke ground floor Holiday Apartment with all the benefits of modern living with central heating. There is a stylish modern kitchen and bathroom. The property has been furnished in a vintage boutique style with period features. The rear yard provides safe storage for up to 4 cycles as Sandown is great for cycling holidays. 15% discount available on Red Funnel Car Ferry on completion of booking.

The space
A spacious hall leads to the living room, two bedrooms and the large kitchen diner. The kitchen is well equipped for those who wish to cook and eat in or use simply for breakfast. The kitchen leads into the spacious shower room beautifully appointed with a new suite including bidet. An enclosed sunny courtyard can be enjoyed during the daytime and on warm evenings. Lovely for relaxing or perhaps al-fresco dining. An 8' wall gives good security for bicycles or surf boards etc. (at owners risk) There is a 4 cycle rack, guests must provide their own chain and padlock. In addition there is a retractable clothesline which is handy for drying beach towels and swimwear.

Other things to note
Ferry discount available on completed bookings.
For those bringing or travelling to the island on bicycles there is easy access to the Isle of Wight cycle routes.

Neighbourhood highlights

Sandown grew in the Victorian era and understandably became a popular resort. It has the most amazing beach which sweeps across the eastern face of the island. The eastern end of the bay is Yaverland which is popular with water-sports such as surfing, wind and kite surfing. Yaverland beach is a great place for fossil hunting. You never know what you might find! Sandown Dinosaur Museum showcases finds on the Isle of Wight. The museum sits in the bay along side Sandown Zoo famous for its tigers and conservation work. Next to that is a dinosaur themed Crazy Golf at Sandham Gardens also on the the seafront.

Unlike Shanklin and Ventnor the beach is at town level making it so convenient for visitors of all ages. The accommodation is 200 meters from the beach and pier and 100 meters from the Town Centre. There are many restaurants and takeaways within easy walking distance. The High Street also has a Sainsbury's Local and Cooperative to meet all self catering needs.
