About this house rental

The Overlook has been architect designed and has breathtaking sea views across the English Channel. There are two large double bedrooms, both with en-suite showers and doors opening onto a separate balcony facing south and looking out to sea. There is a further twin bedroom, and a family bathroom. The open plan living area is accessed down some internal steps and benefits form patio doors leading to a second large terrace with table and seating. The Overlook has been furnished to a high standard and benefits from ample off road parking.

It is situated only a few minutes' walk from the centre of Ventnor, a Victorian seaside town with buildings full of character. In addition to the main shopping street where you will find a selection of small supermarkets to include a Co-op and Tesco Express, there are parks and gardens, museums and the Winter Gardens - an entertainment venue with a growing reputation for theatre, concerts, comedy and dance shows and of course the restaurant/bar.

There are a number of great restaurants in Ventnor including Cantina, The Ale & Oyster, and the Smoking Lobster to name a few. The famous Spyglass pub sits right on the sea, and there are some great tea and coffee shops and Lady Scarlett's Tea Parlour (complete with 1940's theming) are favourites. Or if you fancy a take-away to enjoy by the beach, the Ventnor Haven Fishery on The Esplanade sell fantastic fish & chips, locally caught and prepared to order.

Ventnor Botanic Garden lies in the remarkable microclimate at the heart of the famous 'Undercliff.' This unique garden is protected from the cold northerly winds by chalk downs. In addition to enjoying the lovely gardens, it also hosts events and exhibitions and there is a restaurant and Café on-site for refreshments; lunch or coffee and cake!

From The Esplanade you can take the level walk, along the sea wall to Bonchurch, or walk along the cliff path towards Steephill Cove, a beautiful sheltered bay only accessed by foot.

Limitations: Children over 7 years old only

Spacious well maintained property on the hill overlooking Ventnor. Three good sized bedrooms with open plan kitchen-dining-living which had very large panoramic windows giving excellent views over the town and the sea. Good parking although the entry road is a little narrow. All appliances easy to understand - had an issue with the dishwasher which was reported and hopefully fixed for future guests.

The property was light and airy. We loved the space and open plan area and the outside areas. Everything had been done to a high spec, the kitchen was well equipped and the bathrooms were good with powerful showers.

We had a good week at the Overlook. The accommodation was to a high standard with lovely views and plenty of balconies to enjoy. We had mixed weather but on the warm sunny days it's just nice to relax outside on one of the chairs or sun loungers. The bedrooms were lovely and spacious and the family bathroom, the bath was fab. Some shelves in the showers might be a useful idea ? The kitchen was well equipped although we took a while to work out how to use some of the built in appliances. The coffee maker was a great idea although hadn't been cleaned before we arrived. We made use of the washing machine and tumble dryer but, again, found the filter for the tumble dryer to be fairly clogged with dust/fabric. One bit I was a bit disappointed in was, after travelling to get there, it would have been a nice thought to leave a "welcome pack" with some milk and tea/coffee. Just a small niggle but would have meant not having to find a local shop after unpacking. Otherwise, a really good holiday home and one I'd consider using again. Would recommend

Stunning property and views.

Stunning property and views.

When you walk into The Overlook, it certainly delivers the Wow Factor. The huge windows, offering panoramic views, simply blew us all away. Overall, the accommodation is excellent. It is immaculately clean (apart from the pillows, which unfortunately were heavily stained). It is very comfortable and well equipped. It offers everything you need for a family holiday or a group of friends. We stayed as a group of six. There is enough space so that you can spread out and have some privacy, or get together in the comfortable lounge or large dining area. There are even three well furnished sun terraces to sit out on and enjoy those views. One couple reported that the bed in the second room was too firm, but everyone else found the beds to be very comfy. We did have a few equipment failures during our stay. The dish washer leaked and couldn't be used. The Washing machine would only wash in steaming hot water. The boiler went into fault mode on our last day. These things can happen so we did not stress over it. However, the response from the maintenance team was disappointing, in that nobody came to fix any of these issues, despite the first two being reported on Wednesday. I am informed that these issues were all being looked at and steps taken to improve the response. Overall though, we had a wonderful holiday at The Overlook and we have booked to go again next year. I can't wait!

Not a good holiday

Not a good holiday

Steps in the cottage were not visibly clear they mingled into the lower floor which caused a bad fall needing medical intervention. Difficulty with patio and folding doors in bedroom. Could not get TV to work. Dish washer and washing machine did not work and had to be repaired.

An absolutely delightful property, certainly somewhere we would rent again. The rooms were spacious, and comfortable, and everything was well maintained and clean. The highlight was the huge windows in the open-plan lounge area with views across the English Channel.

Super house

Super house

The Overlook definitely has the wow factor. It was spotlessly clean, well equipped and comfortable. The location is perfect for watching the shipping heading to and from the Solent. There are some good pubs and restaurants in Ventnor (the Spyglass, Crab and Lobster Tap and Smoking Lobster) but be aware that the town is built on a hill and the walk from the town centre is steep.

The Overlook is certainly a lovely holiday home. We enjoyed a wonderful stay, the views are amazing. The accommodation was spotless and was well equipped with everything needed for an enjoyable stay. After days out walking it was good to return to a relaxing environment. I would definitely recommend The Overlook and would like to return in the future.

Summer holiday 26.07.21 - 10.07.21

House is lovely and comfortable with all the comforts of home and more. Would note that the main bedroom could do with an opening window as no-one is going to sleep with bi-folding doors open and it is very warm. Also shower in that bathroom opens the wrong way, so impossible to turn it on before going in. Just a couple of thoughts

Well equipped, comfortable holiday home with panoramic views and walks/restaurants on the doorstep

This is a spacious, well equipped and comfortable holiday home with huge picture windows to take advantage of the panoramic views and lovely terraces to sit on when the weather suits. There are lots of scenic walks you can do straight from the doorstep and good facilities just down the steep hill in Ventnor (a good selection of pubs / restaurants, small supermarkets and local shops). Ventnor beach looked pleasant enough but there are better beaches elsewhere on the island. There's plenty of parking at the accommodation and it's really easy to get straight up to the main road which links to everywhere on the island. My only complaint - no bath/shower mats and the sinks in the en-suites are very small. Would we stay again? Absolutely, yes.

Wonderful relaxing stay at The Overlook

Wonderful relaxing stay at The Overlook

We have just returned from a lovely week at The Overlook. The house is very modern and is very well equipped with everything you will need for a self catering holiday, the beds super comfy and the views amazing. The pictures on the website do not do it justice when you step inside it really has the wow factor! Before booking I spoke to Sharon from Island Holidays Homes who was extremely helpful as we were looking for a property that would be suitable for 3 generations of our family, including an 89 year old. The Overlook has only 5 internal steps which was ideal. In order to get the amazing views the property is located high up on the hillside and although only a few minutes downhill walk into Ventnor town the uphill walk would be a challenge to say the least. We are frequent visitors to the Isle-of-Wight and I have to say this is one of the best properties we have stayed in on the Island. Would we return? Yes certainly. Thank you for a wonderful holiday we will be back.

Really enjoyed our week's stay at the overlook. Beautiful views, comfortable beds and a full kitchen. Everything you need for a fantastic holiday. Only possible problem is the overlook is situated at the top of a very steep bank.
