A lovely apartment. Fantastic views lovely gardens and good location and plenty of car parking space.
The only issue we had was wardrobe space The wardrobe in the 2nd bedroom was a child's wardrobe and wasn't tall enough for adult clothing and the wardrobe in the main bedroom was full of stuff leaving very little space.
Some of the furniture was old and tired and could do with replacing

A real haven and worth climbing the hill for. Perfect for solo travellers. Clean and comfortable. Make sure you bring a few dishwasher tablets/washing up liquid and bin liners as there were none provided at the property.

This is our 3rd stay at Seaview. We keep coming back because of the fantastic view.
However this flat needs lots of TLC. Bathroom was a bit grim with black mould around bath.
Window was cleaner this year so we were pleased about that. However when open the windows, windowsills (where window was and outside windowsill) were so dirty ..full of cobwebs and dead bugs !! Couldn’t open the window in small bedroom because dead bugs & dirt were coming onto bed. We think no-one clean them.
Please clean windowsills inside & out, and get rid of black mould around bath.
Thank you for painting outdoor furniture, however the parasol was broken and unable to use it ..such a shame.
Still, We had a lovely time there overlooking beautiful views and seeing red squirrels running around the garden was so special.
Look forward to coming back again.

We booked a last minute holiday and were very happy to have found SeaView. The staff were very helpful in sorting out the keys etc out of hours. The location and the grounds are beautiful. The apartment itself is comfortable and has all the essentials.
It could be slightly cleaner, but otherwise all good.

Had a nice holiday, thankyou. Lucky with the weather some days, the flat got warm in the sun, but when wet or windy, the old windows rattled, and it got cold and felt damp. TV and hi fi are dated. Seating bit uncomfortable. Nice sea view, on cliff, top of a steep hill.

The only issue was the standard of the cleaning. Once we had cleaned the child’s hand print off the main window, removed the sticky sweets from behind the furniture, brushed some of the food debris from the cracks in the sofa and got over the stained and grubbby cushions and sticky floor, everything was fine. Having said that though, the apartment was comfortable, the views fantastic and the position spectacular. We would definitely stay there again, but with the knowledge that if you want it properly cleaned you may have to spend an hour or so doing it yourself on arrival.
4.3
Lovely location with amazing views. We really enjoyed the balcony.
The flat was functional and served its purpose but lacked that home-from-home feel.
There was a terribly unpleasant, musty smell from the moment we stepped inside. We tried opening windows to air it and spraying air fresheners, but just couldn't shift the odour. Is there a hidden damp problem somewhere? It didn't help that there is absolutely nowhere to dry wet towels etc and the fan in the bathroom was totally ineffectual.
The wifi was very intermittent but probably not a lot the host can do about that.
All the same we really loved our stay on the IOW and will definitely return, but probably to a different apartment.
Thanks

It was clean and tidy with modern facilities. Beautiful views from every angle! The only downside is that the blinds were not blocking the light in the morning. It would be great if blackout blinds are fitted.

House sits high up on steep hill with fantastic view across the Island and mainland and a large Garden with plenty of seating and views.
Property is easy to find with plenty of parking, 1st floor apartment no lift access but carpeted big stairs to apartment.
Very clean and light Apartment bathroom is on the small side but usable, nicely equipped Kitchen all appliances you need and utensils.
Its a fare walk to the town or beach around 10 mins down hill just a hard walk back needed a few stops (unfit)

Stunning Views!! ... Shame about dirty windows
This is our 2nd stay at Seaview.
We love to stay here because of the stunning views.
It is a shame the windows and windowsills (outside) are so dirty and full of cobwebs & dead bugs.
It was bad 2 years ago and even worse this time.
Luckily the weather was good, so windows were open most of the time so we could still enjoy the beautiful sea views.
Outside table & chairs were such a state. (We did mention it 2 years ago) But we were really pleased with new addition of a parasol !! We could sit out without too hot. Thank you for that. Also we woke up at 4am as bedrooms were so bright (blind doesn't work well) You need eye mask!
Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Great holiday in Seaview apartment but needs a little TLC and new comfortable lounge and balcony furniture.

Accommodation is fine.
Accommodation is fine, although maybe becoming a little dated. Location is up hill from Shanklin, which may not be good for a walk home for some.

Please clean the windows!
We’ve stayed here numerous times over many years as we love the apartment due to it’s location. One of the main attractions is the view as seen in the promotional photos, however, these photos are several years old and the windows have not been cleaned in that time such that they are frankly filthy. Therefore, the outlook is less “sea view’ but more ‘permanent fog’.
Such a shame to witness the deterioration of such a fine holiday property. I’m sure it could be rectified quickly.

At the top of a steep hill
Glorious views and lovely grounds. However, we arrived in March when it was cold and windy. The windows and doors in the flat are poor fitting and rattled loudly, letting in a lot of cold air. What a relief when the wind dropped. Bathroom is very cramped. Internet was unusable during our stay. We could not even load emails. Had to use a mobile phone as a hub.

Nice view and warm flat, need a bit of TLC
It was a lovely flat. it needs a big time spring clean as it was so dusty, windows were very dirty, sheets not properly fitted.
Also no clear info about anything. the information book was few years old and dusty.
Getting and dropping the key is not good.
No beach around. 2 acre boring unnecessary garden.
Basic toiletry needed.
4.3
Great views, and quiet location
Our apartment was in a great location with fab sea views. Also great skies. Bedrooms were good, with ample storage. Only suggestions are the main room seating was not comfortable, and internet slow. But internet cable was being installed on the street during our stay.

Our four week stay at Seaview, Shanklin
We had a very relaxing four weeks at this beautiful property.
The sea views made it very interesting, as thee were so many vessels passing around the coast-everyday there was a different view.
The only negative we could mention was the lounge suite. Because it was leather it didn't give any support and we found ourselves having to constantly readjust the cushions, but apart from that, everything else was perfect

Lovely September Week
Really enjoyed our stay at Sea View. Great location and wonderful views. Apartment is very comfortable and spacious for 2 people - probably okay for up to 4. Well-equipped kitchen - all you need although we ate out most of the time.

Really lovely location just need to sort out towels

Wonderful views
The apartment has breathtaking views across shanklin and sandown bay as far as culver cliff. It really is, quite possibly, the best view on the Isle of Wight.
The apartment is situated in a very quiet part of Shanklin, but is at the top of a hill, so be mindful if you have mobility issues or do not have a car.

Half term with two kids
We've stayed at Seaview twice now, so there's a recommendation in itself. The location is lovely, with the balcony overlooking the shared gardens and then out to sea. 2Mbit/s broadband for internet-starved kids, which held up for video streaming. Well-equipped kitchen. Decent covid preparations.
