We have upgraded the internet to superfast fibre broadband WiFi at no extra cost to our guests. From the site gates, there is direct access to the coastal path where you have just a short stroll to the first of the 5 miles of safe, sandy beaches of Sandown Bay and all local amenities. It is a perfect haven for families and couples to relax and enjoy the sunniest island in the UK, adjacent to the National Trust Bembridge Down and Island coastal path with spectacular views of Culver Cliff and across the stunning Sandown Bay. It is close to miles of cycle routes and walking pathways where you can see Island birds, butterflies and wildlife including our native red squirrels. There are no amenities to disturb the relaxing nature of this quiet site, but you can easily walk to the nearby Yaverland cafe, then on to the many delights of the bay including Isle of Wight Zoo, Browns Golf, Dinosaur Isle, Sandham Gardens with High Nets, Dinosaur Crazy Golf, Go-Karts, play equipment, many cafes, bars, restaurants, sandy beaches, pier, water sports and much more. The former on-site clubhouse building is currently being renovated to reveal a small Napoleonic fort structure by removing the more modern add-ons. Our south facing, double-glazed chalet Sandy Shores, which is not overlooked, provides you with very comfortable, stylish accommodation decorated in light and airy coastal style with open plan lounge and kitchen, 2 bedrooms and modern bathroom. The lounge has a corner unit sofa bed that can sleep 2 people, dining table, 4 chairs, full-length and a large flat screen Smart TV with Freeview. The kitchen has a new ceramic hob, fan oven, and extractor fan, fridge/freezer, washing machine, and a good range of small appliances and utensils for holiday cooking and dining. Bedroom 1 has a luxury quality full size double bed, bedside tables, lamp, double wardrobe, and chest of drawers. Bedroom 2 has white bunk beds with individual safe wall lights and a chest of drawers. Anti-allergenic pillows and duvets are provided in both rooms. John Lewis bed linen is provided at no extra charge for these rooms and beds will be made up for you on arrival. Guests would need to provide their own bedding if they use the sofa bed. Towels are not provided. Tiled bathroom has a quadrant shower cubicle, electric shower, pedestal sink, toilet. Chalet is heated throughout with electric heaters, especially useful for off-season breaks, and a heated towel rail in the bathroom. All our window blinds are fitted with children’s safety in mind. High chair and travel cot available on request. We ask guests to provide all their own bedding for the travel cot. Electricity is included in the rental price. You will also be able to enjoy al fresco dining on your own patio area where outside chairs and table are provided so that you can soak up the Island sunshine, enjoy the views and listen to the sound of the nearby waves. Children can play out happily on the grassy area in front of the chalet under the supervision of parents/carers. Free parking is at the front and rear of Sandy Shores. Change over day is Saturday in school holidays, but any day for the rest of the year, and our guests are kindly requested to arrive from 4pm and to vacate by 10am, so that our housekeeper will have time to get our chalets ready for the next guests. Guests are requested to leave the chalet in a clean and tidy condition.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Another great stay at Sandy Shores
We love staying here... here's why. Bright and fresh furnishings. Good quality bedding which smell fresh and clean. Really great chalet and area info provided. Super pre-arrival info from host. Comfortable mattress on master bed. Plenty of crockery and cooking equipment. Any issues with stay resolved in an efficient and timely manner; hosts really do want guests to enjoy their stay. Beautiful walks and beaches nearby. Price point not over inflated. Peace and quiet. Even in poor weather we can hunker down at the top of Yaverland hill. If you need to know anything just ask the hosts.

Spot on
A fab chalet. We've stayed on the site in a variety of chalets and this is by far the best! The layout and furnishings were well thought out, with sliding doors to maximise space and oodles of storage. TV packages were a welcome bonus, especially when travelling with kids, and Gillian had left a super welcome package. She was quick to respond to messages, and very flexible, which was great. These chalets can tend to attract small creatures but we never saw even a spider, so there must have been some super cladding or insulation in place. Overall, a great base for exploring the island. Genuine thanks for your contribution to a great family holiday experience.

Sandyshores, Wight Bay Holidays.
What can I say? Second time we have stayed here and it won't be our last visit. Gillian and Dave are such attentive hosts, and never too far away if you have a query. The chalets are done to such a high standard and you have everything you need for a home away from home stay. For anyone wanting to book a holiday, I'd recommend Wight Bay holidays. Will be seeing you both again soon and once again thank you for such an amazing holiday.

Excellent chalet!
I wanted to leave a review because we were so pleased with this excellent chalet. When we arrived it was clean and really nicely decorated and had a lovely welcome pack which is nice touch! There is a lot of thought gone into the chalets with everything you need. There is a nice private seating area outside too which not many of the chalets have, which is lovely in the sunshine! Gillian and David were very helpful and the whole booking process was quick and no trouble. The chalet was fantastic and I would highly recommend, definitely will be going again. Five stars!

About the neighbourhood
Beautiful Yaverland, within an AONB, has a vast expanse of sandy beach. Quieter than some of the other Sandown Bay beaches it offers safe swimming, fossil hunting by the cliffs, café, toilets and car park. Nearby: Wildheart Animal Sanctuary, Browns Golf, Dinosaur Isle Museum. Sandown offers a traditional seaside holiday, having one of the Isle of Wight's most well-known beaches - safe bathing, miles of golden sands and a Pier. Beach cafes, bars, a surf school, hire outlets for deckchairs, sunloungers, windbreaks, surf, paddle & body boards, kayaks, canoes, & fun aqua bikes. Behind the beachfront is the High Street with a selection of shops along with supermarkets, cash machines and eating places.
Getting around
The diamond shaped Isle of Wight measures just 23 miles by 13 miles, and has 57 miles of beautiful coastline. It is also England's largest island. The Island has over 477 miles of roadways and over 500 miles of pathways and cycleways. There are also 203 scheduled monuments, 60 ancient monuments and 1910 listed buildings. The Military Road (A3055) has been voted in the top 10 of best scenic roads in the UK. It runs from Chale to Freshwater Bay, and runs almost along the cliff edge with the sea to one side, rolling downs on the other. At high points you can see the whole coast laid out in front of you.
Access
Car not needed
How to get there
The Isle of Wight is easy to get to, and once you are here you won't want to leave! It is, for example, less than an hour and half's journey from London by train and ferry, and is ideally located for British visitors looking for a holiday or short break, and easy to reach from a number of UK airports. There are up to 200 Isle of Wight ferry crossings a day operating from Portsmouth, Southampton and Lymington. The main links operate for passengers into 5 different Island towns - Ryde, Cowes, East Cowes, Fishbourne and Yarmouth - the latter 3 services also carry vehicles. It is possible to get around the Island without a car as it has a very good bus/train network, including a bus stop right outside the holiday centre entrance.
