Colonels Rest - Luxury Beachside Townhouse with Sea Views in Sandown, Sleeps 10

Spacious house for 8 adults, enough cutlery and condiments to dine in. Loved the proximity to the sea and comfortable beds. Plenty to do in Sandown and the beach was lovely. The biggest shame for us was the privacy glass. We chose this house for the views as my mother had an operation and needed to rest while we had fun. She couldn’t see the sea at all unless she stood up-other properties in the same block had clear glass. There was everything you needed except oven gloves and a hand towel, you wouldn’t think to bring these.

Well appointed house, ideal for a group or large family holiday. A cafetière would be a welcome addition to the kitchen and a couple of the bedrooms would benefit from privacy blinds as they are overlooked. Also we appreciate that this is a deliberate design feature, but the wonderful balconies having opaque glass means you can’t see the views unless standing up or on a high chair.

The house is huge! It’s very nicely decorated and there was plenty of room for everyone. The off-street parking takes the street out of finding a spot and the location meant we could easily walk to all of Sandown’s amenities. We had two kids with us (6 and 3) and it worked well with them as we could put them in a twin room at the back of the house but still have a nice en-suite room next door for the parents. We had such a brilliant week, our third year in a row visiting the island, and will definitely try to book into this house again next year. Honestly, it was just lovely! We were very impressed. If pushed, it would have been nice to have some oven gloves and some plastic/picnic crockery/cups etc that we could use for the kids and possibly for on the balconies.

Living space and decor.. also clean throughout, and great location

Great location with stunning views situated very close to Sandown town.
