About this cottage rental
The Beach House is an impressive home to enjoy a family beachside holiday from.
The open plan 1st floor living space has an elevated dining area up a couple of steps, looking down over the kitchen and living area. The kitchen is modern and well-equipped and is ideally set out for sociable events and gatherings. Once the large sliding patio doors are opened onto the sun terrace the true ambience of this room comes to life. The outside dining area for 6 is partially screened and has glass and stainless steel balustrades for safety. Sea views can be enjoyed from here looking east and west. There is parking outside for two good-sized vehicles.
Initially a small fishing settlement, Ventnor grew into a thriving Victorian seaside spa resort due to its microclimate, generated from its south-facing position and the shelter of the downs behind the town. The old sanitorium is now home to Ventnor Botanical Gardens and visitors are attracted by Ventnor's arts and restaurant scene as much as by its picturesque views and mild climate. Short walks will take you the adjacent villages of Bonchurch and its Inn for Sunday lunch, or Steephill Cove for a local crab sandwich. Venturing a little further will take you to Appuldurcombe House, with gardens designed by Capability Brown, or to picturesque Godshill, with its model village, both within a fifteen-minute drive.
In addition to the island's beaches, family days out can include Blackgang Chine theme park, the activities at Tapnell Farm, or seeing big cats and monkeys at the Island's animal sanctuaries. Activity lovers can walk any or all of the 67-mile coast path, cycle country lanes, or hire SUPs or kayaks at nearby Steephill Cove.

This was my second visit to the property with a relative. I like how the sleeping area and bathrooms are all downstairs and the social areas are upstairs (dining area / lounge / outside balcony). You hear the sound of the waves on the beach at night even in the back bedroom which is soothing. The built-in coffee machine is still a favourite of mine. It's modern property with its own identity.
And of course, nearby places: the Smoking Lobster, the Plaice to Be, the Spyglass, Steephill Cove, the Botanic Gardens. The fresh fish place does a nice crab and lobster pot.

A perfect house for an extended family. The best views to the beach.
We were very lucky in the fact that I think we were there for one of the best weeks of the year and so did spend a lot of time on the sun deck, looking out to sea.
Perfect in every way.

This is our second year staying at The Beach House and we have already booked for 2026!! It is lovely to have a fully stocked kitchen, the use of a washer dryer and three bathrooms. The coffee machine is a special treat. We enjoy the space the property provides - it allows my husband to do his railroad modelling and to invite our grown up children to stay. The location is great, close to the beach and to the many good restaurants in Ventnor. We love the balcony and the views of the sea. Thank you Rob and Christy for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Our third visit to The Beach House and it didn't disappoint. It is well located in Ventnor with great views across the bay. Having private parking is a great asset. The house is very clean and has all the items you need for a very comfortable stay. You can easily walk across to the beachfront, and there are plenty of places to eat and drink. You have the shops a short walk away (although it's uphill going - but the bonus is coming down on the way back!) to get all your essential needs and if you like fish, then visit the Ventnor Haven for the catch of the day.
If you have a car, there are lots of places on the Island to visit or use the bus which is very efficient and goes from the centre of town.
We've stayed in many places on the Island and this is by far the best. We like it a lot and have already booked for our fourth visit next year.
