What a beautiful house in a beautiful location.
The only negative point was a slight problem with the cleanliness. We had to clean the fridge and the living room carpet could do with a good clean.

A lovely homely place to stay with a fantastic view. The property felt like a home from home and was very well equipped. We spent hours just enjoying the view and watching the enchanting lizards. The location was very quiet and conveniently located for the Island's many attractions. We only travelled about 6 miles in any direction and easily filled our week. Ample easy parking. Great outdoor space that was wholly private with spaces to sit in sun or shade all day. We would like to return.
A visit to the Ventnor Botanic Gardens is a must. We had read variable views about this in advance of our stay and wondered what state the gardens would be in, we were extremely pleased to find them being well cared for, with new areas of planting undertaken and existing ares renovated and the upper cafe has reopened. In all, a lovely day out.

As you step into the lounge and see the views, you know Sea Grove is special. The house itself has everything you need. But those views are stunning.

Perfect for us as the bedrooms are at either end of the bungalow separated by the lounge and kitchen. Ideal if you are on holiday with early rising grandchildren. Very well equipped and spectacular views.

My home from home
My second visit and I absolutely love Sea Grove and already booked again for next year....it is excellently equipped , good location and excellent view from rear garden and lounge.
I scored 4 on cleanliness. After accidently dropping a few things that ended up under sofa, under chest of drawers etc it was found to have not recently been cleaned. A paracetomol was found under the sofa , which was not a problem for us but could be if you had a small child and lots of dust under the chest of drawers. Otherwise in obvious areas it was very clean.
Highly recommend Sea grove

Sea Grove: A place to stay
What an excellent bungalow to rent. Everything you would need was there and there was a very comprehensive folder on all you would need to know. It was so clean when we arrived and we soon settled in. The veranda outside was so peaceful to sit there in an evening just watching the boats on the channel. Ventnor is a great place to stay it has so many amenities that you do not have to go anywhere else; however the island is a great place to travel round and see the sights. This was our 5 time on the IOW and due to covid there was a greater amount of visitors which meant that you had to book to get a table in a restaurant.
I would like to thank the owners of Sea Grove for providing an excellent property to rent and subject to health we will look forward to renting again

Lovely bungalow in a beautiful location
We had a lovely couple of weeks staying at Sea Grove. The accommodation had everything we needed. The kitchen was well supplied for cooking a variety of dishes. The bungalow caters well for less mobile guests.
The children loved the garden terrace especially the two resident lizards living by the outside steps.
We loved the sea view and the ability to walk to Steephill cove and Ventnor from the accommodation.
Will definitely come back.

Well worth a visit
Sea Grove, the bungalow, is of a high standard. It is very spacious, very well presented, has a well-equipped kitchen, large utility room and the veranda and terrace are just lovely. Everywhere is on a hill in Ventnor but we much enjoyed the walk to town everyday where the shopping is good. We found the sea-front restaurants and the Spyglass Inn welcoming and accommodating for children. Despite the prevailing Covid situation the island felt safe and relaxed. Local residents are particularly friendly and helpful as were our contacts at the Island Holiday Homes. With a car we were well able to visit other towns, many attractions inland and see the absolutely wonderful scenery and landscapes of the Isle of Wight.

Buyer Beware of your security deposit.
An absolutely lovely property and stay. However on return we found ourselves in dispute over the security deposit. This we 100% deny. We pointed out a fault on arrival which was then quoted back to us. In honesty - the holiday let was lovely and our holiday was great - we had very much hoped to rebook next year. A really sad end to a lovely house and stay. Please take photos on arrival and when you leave. As we had no evidence to counter the claim and we lost a third of our deposit - which was really unfair.

This is a really beautiful house by the sea.
We really enjoyed our stay at Seagrove. The house is beautiful and Ventnor is a perfect place for a seaside holiday. The walks along the coastal path were stunning. The local restaurants and cafés were ideal. The garden at Seagrove has a lovely sea view. We would definitely book again.

Had a great week. Property bright & easy to relax in. Terrace looks wonderful for better weather. Everything provided. Our only complaint was the lack of welcome treats (said the kids). Thank you :)

Holiday Accommodation Sea Grove, Ventnor IOW
Sea Grove is a very comfortable, clean, well equipped bungalow with beautiful views. We were two married couples so only used two of the bedrooms, which are placed at opposite ends of the property which worked out very well for us. The main bathroom is immediately adjacent to a king size bedroom and the other double has the ensuite. Unfortunately we couldn't use the garden for seating out as didn't have the weather, but perfect if weather permits. Parking at property good too.
Two small points. The first we notice has been mentioned before in a previous review. There is not a shower tray for soaps, shampoos etc in the ensuite which proves awkward as it means all of those things have to stand on the shower floor in the wet. It wouldn't take much to put a tray up. The second was the toilet seat in the main bathroom slips to the side continually. I think that the seat may be too large for the toilet pan. These obviously didn't spoil our holiday in the least but feel they should be rectified.
IOW is a lovely island and we would definately stay at Sea Grove if we came to IOW again. Thank you also to Island Holiday Homes, excellent company.

Family Holiday
We really enjoyed our stay at Seagrove a beautifully appointed bungalow in a lovely position. We loved Ventnor and enjoyed exploring the area.

Lovely bungalow
Lovely bungalow,shame we were not able to use all of the garden, have a small dog so ropes were a bit unpractical and scary as we had to constantly keep our eye on the dog in case she fell through them, and garden could of been cut back a bit more so we could enjoy the amazing view more. The only other small detail was in the on suite shower there was nowhere to put soap or any toiletries. Other than that it was a delightful bungalow.

Comfortable bungalow
Nice comfortable bungalow , good location for getting around the island . Garden a bit disappointing as only top patio usable , lower garden is non existent

Beautiful bungalow with an exceptional view
Sea Grove provides versatile, spacious accommodation and is very well-equipped for a self catering holiday. There is ample parking on the front drive. The view from the back garden is lovely and the area is generally quiet - bit of traffic to the front in the day but nothing at night. The decor inside is of a high standard and it was very clean. The owners have left a very useful information folder for guests and we used it a lot. Heating extremely efficient!!

Early summer break
Lovely bungalow in a convenient location in Ventnor, within walking distance of the town centre. Well thought out accommodation. We especially liked the lounge, which has a whole glazed wall and French doors opening out onto the patio. The garden is completely enclosed and was great for our dog, who loved to sunbathe on the patio! Surrounding trees mean that the garden is a real sun-trap and is sheltered from the worst of the winds. Great kitchen. Comfortable beds. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.

Lovely bungalow in good location.
We enjoyed our stay in this well equipped comfortable bungalow. It had every thing we needed. The garden is lovely and we were visited by a fox, red squirrel and several birds. Being a small Island we could easily get to where we wanted to go quickly.

? not sure what you want in this box ?
Enjoyed our stay. Sea Grove is in need of an update in the kitchen. Covers on settees need cleaning and garden needs work. Cobwebs in main bathroom. At the beginning of the season I am surprised at these shortcomings.That said , the bungalow is in a great position & is well eqipped

Great place
Perfect for a lovely week-long holiday. Had everything we needed and a great view. Particularly enjoyed the lizards on the decking!

Beautiful views and a suntrap
We had stayed on the island before but not in Ventnor. This property more than met all our family needs with three good sized double rooms, spacious lounge, dining area and kitchen and the stunning view from the sun-soaked decking area.
One of our group has mobility challenges and this was the ideal property for that. Easy access from the parking area, a handy en suite and no hidden steps to tackle.
We found it a great base for the island with some great walks along the coastal path, although not always with the wheelchair. Steephill Cove was a lovely surprise when we came across it.
A lovely place to stay. Comfortable and well equipped, we would definitely stay there again.

Lovely accommodation in an excellent location
Seagrove is perfect - spacious, cosy (we stayed in November) and comfortable.
The views from the bungalow are stunning and the location is excellent as a base for visiting any part of the Island.
Seagrove is dog friendly, as are many of the pubs serving food in the area - we felt welcome in most places, which was lovely.
All in all, just perfect!

A positive review of Sea Grove
We enjoyed our stay in Ventnor where we have stayed many times.before. Sea Grove was comfortable and very well equipped.I would recommend it to others as long as they are reasonably fit to cope with the hills, which is the case wherever you choose to stay in Ventnor unless you are on the sea front. We had a great time.

This holiday home provides a modern, spacious and comfortable residence to stay in whilst visiting the Isle of Wight. The accommodation is well sited for both Ventnor town centre and as a Base for exploring the island.The property is well equipped with a family shower/ bathroom and and en suite in the master bedroom, everything needed to make your stay as comfortable and stress free as possible. Island Holiday Homes were awesome when we had a problem with a bathroom light which didn't work and an electrician was on site to repair the problem within a couple of hours. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return for another stay soon.

Lovely holiday, second time at Seagrove and not disappointed. Bungalow has ideal layout for large family and beautifully presented. Will definitely be returning, can't wait.

We have just come back from spending a week here, it is a lovely spacious house with a relaxing living room with nice views, not overlooked at all, the bed was comfy (king size), the shower great and there was off road parking.
The only criticisms I have were on arrival we of course wanted a drink, the glasses and mugs needed to be washed first as dirty with crusted on food, I presume that's because the cleaner did not check in the cupboards, also the TV is rubbish, it is an ok size but isn't even an HD one, the picture wasn't sharp and the internet dropped out on several occasions. Just because you are on holiday doesn't mean you don't want a decent TV, we spend all day out and about so look forward to relaxing with a takeaway in front of the TV of an evening so this was a real shame, it's so cheap to buy a 32" HD TV these days, on the whole a nice stay but needs updating and the cleaning issues addressed. We would definitely stay here again if these issues were resolved.

This is our second year at Sea Grove and we will definitely be back for a third! The accommodation is very spacious and comfortable with a lovely secluded patio area. Everything you could need is here, including plenty of tea and coffee for a cuppa on arrival!
The bungalow is in an ideal location with the beautiful Ventnor Park at the bottom of the road and the coastal path just beyond that. Perfect for dog walking (if you don't mind hills!) Ventnor town is also within walking distance.
We had a lovely holiday and would recommend Sea Grove to anyone.

A lovely spacious bungalow furnished to a good standard with everything needed for a great holiday. Plenty of space for off street parking.
