A family home, 6 minutes walk to the beach and 2 minutes from the shops. This 1900's townhouse has been renovated to provide all modern amenities whilst retaining a quirky charm. All rooms are recently decorated. There are high-quality mattresses and linen. The house is wonderfully quiet at night with no traffic noise. The kitchen is well equipped (inc. coffee machine). The sunny dining room seats up to 8 (plus high chair) with a TV on the wall to entertain. Alternatively, you can eat out on the patio just outside the kitchen door: it's quite a sun-trap and is not overlooked. We have a lot of equipment for young children (Oyster 2 pushchair, bottle steriliser, high chair, stair gates, baby bath, changing mat, travel cot, video monitors, sippy cups, weaning spoons, hip seat, baby carrier, activity books, booster seats, little steps, cutlery, plastic plates, etc). With fibre-optic broadband, strong Wi-Fi and a workstation to plug your laptop into, you can be entertained and do a bit of work. We have radio-linked smoke and CO2 alarms, fire doors, emergency lighting, stair gates, first aid kit, fire extinguisher/blanket, The stairs down to the kitchen are steep (so not suitable for those with mobility issues) but we have two solid handrails and non-slip treads.

As a family with 4 children, we've spent many holidays on the lovely Isle of Wight and we're happy to now be able to offer this home to others. We're also foster carers and know what is needed to create an easy, safe, family holiday, with baby equipment, some toys, books, games and a console all there to use.

The house is on a very quiet residential road just round the corner from one of the main shopping streets (two Co-ops, Boots, baker, gift shops, etc). The beach is just 6 minutes downhill from the house with public toilets, café, crazy golf, ice-cream, arcade, fish and chips all on hand. There's on-street parking in the surrounding streets. The railway station is 5 minutes away (the line runs from Ryde and connects with hovercraft and passenger ferries from Portsmouth). The Island's bus services are very good and the local bus station is 5 minutes away.
