Chalet
It’s 2023 our fantastic holiday chalet, is in perfectly clean condition. We have painted throughout and added televisions in all three rooms. The master bedroom TV has built in DVD and all televisions are free view. We replaced the bedstead/mattress in master bedroom last season with a memory foam/sprung combination for extra comfort after a long day at the beach. Also new at the end of last year is a cozy corner sofa for those nights in. This beautiful chalet is available after having undertaken a complete refit and redecoration after purchase and was completely repainted in 2021 to keep it looking fresh. There are approx 188 chalets on this beautiful, simple and unspoilt site but take note, each and everyone of these chalets will be totally different on the inside. They simply are a fan...It’s 2023 our fantastic holiday chalet, is in perfectly clean condition. We have painted throughout and added televisions in all three rooms.

There are approx 188 chalets on this beautiful, simple and unspoilt site but take note, each and everyone of these chalets will be totally different on the inside. They simply are a fantastic way of spending your time on holiday, whilst in Sandown on the Isle of Wight. This chalet is completely self contained and fully equipped for self catering purposes as follows:-The kitchen comprises of:- under worktop Single Oven, Separate Hob, Microwave, Toaster, Kettle, Fruit Bowl, Cutlery, 8 Piece Dinner Service, Wine Glasses, Pint Glasses, Tumblers and Kids Cups. There are a selection of Frying pans and Saucepans and lids, Baking trays, Bowls and always a tea towel. The microwave has been replaced in 2022. The lounge comprises of :- 32" wall mounted TV on a rotating arm, table and chairs to seat four people and a high chair is also provided for free should you need one. There is a coffee table for inside and one for out all to help you relax and feel at home whilst watching tv. I will advise however this chalet is of a compact nature and our feeling is that it is only big enough for four adults not six and would not accommodate a large family. The bathroom comprises of:- large bath with an electric shower fitted with curtain, to give you the choice. White basin and WC and electric towel rail to get those bits dry for the morning. There is a mirrored wall cabinet in here, so you can get ready and store your essential items. Included also is a bath mat in shocking pink to get out onto. Please note, no towels are provided in this chalet. The master bedroom comprises of:- Faux Leather Double Bedstead with King Size Duvet Bedding giving the ladies a chance of some covers. The curtains around the chalet all match the bedding which has been choosen to keep the chalet looking bright and clean. There is also a large wardrobe and chest of drawers in here for your storage needs.The kids bunk bed room comprises of:- metal framed bunk bed with matching duvets and curtains. A chest of drawers and various children's toys are also included in here, as is a funky room tidy for the little ones to house their bits. The chalet has been completed and decorated with the aim of providing you with the best of features and facilities, to enable you to quickly settle in relax and start to enjoy your holiday. The electric is set up with a preset meter which will be loaded with £10 of electric on your arrival and your hot water is turned on and off by switch to keep costs at a minimum. It takes only approx 90 minutes to heat the tank for a lovely hot bath or water for the washing up. All heating is provided by oil free portable radiators giving you the flexibility of where you want to heat. In the summer months these chalets require no heating whatsoever. This accommodation boasts modern, clean and bright fixtures and additional extras such as the 32" flat screen colour television with a rotating arm allowing you to watch the TV out on the grass outside, while sipping your favourite tipple and watching the children or catching the beautiful sunshine. We have also purchased four new aqua folding garden chairs to give you somewhere to relax outside whilst your enjoying the sunshine or a glass of wine while watching the children.

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.

78 Sandown bay holiday chalets.
Booked a last minute trip to the IOW, and we wasn't disappointed. The chalet was very modern with all the mod cons and really clean. The location was great with lots of green space on site and the beach close by. The owner was amazing and her customer service was excellent from start to finish. Little touches in the chalet like the manual on how everything works and toys for smaller children made it feel like home from home. Would definitely recommend and if we return I know where I will be booking!

peaceful and relaxing
We had a fantastic 6 night stay at number 78. The chalet was very clean and had every facility that we could want, it was like home from home. The double bed was very comfy, the shower perfect as well as a bath. The site was very quiet in June, but the people we did meet were very friendly. We have already booked to return in September 2019. There are lot's of lovely places to visit, and some fantastic pubs, bars and restaurants catering for everybody. Thank you Gary and Lise!

5 stars the perfect base
Amazing base for our holiday, only 5 minutes walk from the closest beach and 10 minutes walk to the zoo and dinosaur island. Apartment was clean and fresh on arrival. Very happy and definitely booking again.

Fantastic base for a relaxing holiday.
I booked the chalet for my Daughter, her partner and my Grandaughter. Was delighted at the quality of the chalet. Provided everything they needed. Large grass area outside for my Grandaughter to run around on. Would highly recommend, and would book again.

Lovely little chalet
Myself and my partner stayed for a week at the end of July 2018. It was clean and compact, decorated tastefully and a quiet holiday site. Nothing to fault really! It is small but has everything you need, unfortunately there is no facilities or shops on site but it’s only a 10/15 minute walk to Sandown. It was very close to the cliffs with great views. Peaceful area and yet not too far from town. Thanks for a good holiday.

Stunning location!
This is was our second visit to no 78. The chalet is situated in a beautiful area with a stunning view of Culver Down with immediate access to the coastal path taking you straight down into Sandown or up on to the down. Very peaceful and a great place to recharge the batteries. Lise has been very helpful and prompt in responding to my questions.

Location excellent
Location amazing, lovely walks down to beach. We were able to visit the places we wanted to see. I was born on the Island and went back for old times sake. Chalet was clean and adequate for our needs. TV wasn't working so had a peaceful week. Could have done with a teapot!!

Thank you for this kind review. I'm glad you enjoyed your return to the island. The TV has an on off switch on the side which I expect was turned off. I wish you had sent me an email I would have asked you to check it. I am as we speak ordering a tea pot come again and I'll have it ready for you ! Best regards Lise

Net vakantieverblijf
Het verblijf zag er van binnen keurig en compleet uit. De bedden waren opgemaakt, de keuken is goed voorzien, het wat schoon en netjes. Voor met ons 4tjes, 2 volwassenen en 2 kinderen van 16 em 13 was het net iets te klein, vooral de slaapkamer van de kinderen. Met kleine kinder geen probleem. Wij misten wel een plekje waar je lekker buiten kon zitten. Geen tafel aanwezig buiten en geen prive terras. De omgeving is prachtig. 1 min. van het vakantiepark af en je stond aan de kliffen en had je de mogelijkkheid tot wandelingen. Het was ook een goeie locatie om het eiland te bekijken.

Family friendly, clean chalet by the sea
Perfect home base for a family holiday on the Isle of Wight; with a clean kitchen & bath and beautiful hardwood flooring. The bed linens provided were nice and clean. Towels are not provided; which I actually prefer. Having a separate TV/DVD player in the master bedroom meant that the kids could watch a film (we brought) in the evening while the adults conversed in the dining/living area. Parking is conveniently located next to the chalet and there is a lovely green space for the children to play outside before walking, 15 minutes, down to the sandy beaches.
