About this house rental

The Art Deco HouseUK offers luxury self catering family holiday accommodation for up to 16 guests.

A wonderful original and unique Art-Deco House overlooking Sandown Bay on the Isle of Wight which is probably one of the most spectacular self-catering properties in the whole of Southern England.

Offering spectacular sea views (and sunrises) over Sandown Bay towards Culver Cliff, this magnificent villa was built in 1929 and takes full advantage of the cliff-top location, and is probably one of the Isle of Wight’s premium properties.
This grand detached house has decadently proportioned rooms: all main living and bedrooms have large windows topped by stained glass detail, framing the vistas. Art Deco influences include an upstairs sun room with huge sliding picture windows to enjoy the breathtaking sunrises by day and bay illuminations by night. Huge stained glass windows bring out the oak-panelled hallway, magnificent staircase and galleried landing.

Sleeping up to 14 adults comfortably (plus 3 children sharing rooms in their own beds- best suited for children/teenagers) across 6 bedrooms with a magnificent Art-Deco lounge (seating 16 comfortably) and a 20 seater dining table, this house is perfectly suited to a multi-generational family get together (it has mobility access for wheelchair users) for a self catered holiday, where you can treat the magnificent house as your own, with total privacy for your extended family.

Just about all of the furniture has been rediscovered and is lovingly resurrected from the 1930's. From the walnut cocktail cabinet in the lounge (which apparently was used on the Elstree Studios set for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof) to the stunning wardrobe and dressing table suite set in Bedroom 4, which were rescued from a house in East London, this house is simply Art-Deco at it's best.

Start your day in our house, by experiencing the most stunning and beautiful colours of sunrise, by leaving your seaward facing curtains open, even just a little so that you awake naturally. The sunrise photo shown here is a 100% genuine view from the window, taken on a mobile phone!

From the house, there are wonderful cliff top walks (or runs), you are right above the beach (actually it is a lot of steps to get down, perfect for walking off the dinner. If you have the excuse of a pushchair or use a wheelchair, then you may take the more leisurely slope down!) There are lots of cycle routes across the island. The whole of the Isle of Wight awaits you.

Included in the price are all linens (bedding and towels, except cot bedding), and free very fast internet and wifi.

Visit-Britain Mobility Grade 1 & 2.

At an additional price, a special dinner including an in-house chef and hostess/stewardess can be provided for the evening or freshly pre-prepared gourmet meals delivered which you simply heat up and serve. A special event cake can also be organised.

The property is fully licensed for alcohol and we can provide a list of carefully selected magnums of wine and some fine champagne (and not at silly prices). For those seriously into wine, we also have a private collection that we can draw some exceptional cases of wine for the discerning palate.

We were a multi-generational family (13 people ranging from 2-70) celebrating a special birthday. The house was perfect for us all with plenty of bedroom and living space and a lovely big dining table. The bathrooms worked well even though not ensuite. Loads of hot water, crockery, glasses etc. We all slept upstairs and didn't need to use the downstairs bedroom. The gardens and outdoor space were fabulous, we just needed better weather. The locaction is excellent, there is a locked gate straight onto the cliff path with a very popular cafe metres away and steps down to the beach (quite steep return). The owners and manager were extremely helpful. Would wholelheartedly recommend.

Excellent House. Brilliant Location. 5* Amenities. The owners have put so much attention to detail in this house. The aesthetics are impecable. You feel the depth of the history and character of this building. it is superbly kept up to the highest stds. Literally every signle detail is thought through. It is fully equipped for a large group. They have invested generously to deliver a very luxurious stay, They are passionate about the house and hospitality. It makes the difference. Although, they specify it is a self-catering house, optionality on daily cleaning, toiletries, etc.. would be great. I think this house will continue to age gracefully as it is thoroughly looked after. Many generations to visit will enjoy its warmth, character and unique experience.

A great house and garden with excellent flow and comfortable bedrooms and living space. Perfect for a large group or family but those with boisterous children might need to sterilize certain areas of valued breakable 'decor' items shortly after arriving. All in all a wonderful example of an art deco house with stained glass windows to die for.

11 of our family visited and stayed at Marine Villa during August 2021. Ages ranged from 11 to 90 and we also had family with accessibility issues which are well catered for. The ground floor accessible bedroom and shower were excellent for our needs. There is one en-suite bedroom, and the remaining bedrooms share 3 bathrooms, this gave our family’s and children a bathroom each which was great. The property easily catered for 11 people, with ample large and comfy bedrooms, large kitchen and multiple ovens, kettles and toasters. The dining room is fantastic seating us all, with room to spare. The house was spotlessly clean. Everything was provided including towels, toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets etc. The garden is lovely, where we breakfasted regularly. We bought two paddle boards whilst on holiday and these were carried up and down the coast path to the local beach on several occasions. A walk to the lower end of Shanklin Chine takes about 20 minutes along the coast path and esplanade. There is plenty of private parking for multiple vehicles. Karen, the house manager met and welcomed us warmly on arrival and went through everything with us. We were lucky to have the master bedroom, wow! This has to be seen to be believed. We envy Laurence and Sharon whom we met today on departure, both lovely and what a house to eventually retire too! We couldn’t find anything that wasn’t catered for or thought of, if we had I expect Karen would of had it covered. Not the cheapest place to stay, but the house is huge, 11 of us still made it look big. The cleanliness and quality speak volumes. Just book it, you won’t be disappointed.
