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

Three generations of our family spent a most enjoyable week in the Overlook, which is very comfortable, clean, well maintained and well appointed. The views are amazing. Ventnor is quite quaint and picturesque and a good place from which to tour the island. Blinds above the main window in the second bedroom would be helpful, as the light was streaming in very early. Also blinds in the lounge would reduce the heat building up on warm days. Otherwise a great place to stay.

Stayed with my mum and dad and 5 year old daughter. This house is incredible!! Waking up to a view of the ocean is my favourite thing and this home had views in abundance. Easy walk to beach (not so easy back up) great restaurants and facilities and good place to explore the rest of the island. I highly recommend!

We love the IOW, we love Ventnor, and we love The Overlook. So much so, that we keep going back. The first thing I'll mention is the cleanliness. We're a bit fussy about cleanliness, and more than once the lack of it has stopped us returning to otherwise wonderful properties. The Overlook is always reliably spotless. This is thanks to the cleaner/s, so I hope they are appreciated for their contribution. Very well equipped, The Overlook has everything six people could ever need to enjoy a wonderful holiday, including three balconies to choose from, all with stunning 180 degree views of the sea. We love it.

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.
