Review Submitted: September 19, 2009
Date of Stay: September 2009
We stayed for 3 nights in September following the Bestival. We found the flat to be spotlessly clean, very well decorated and furnished with every conceivable thing you'll need.
There were 2 bathrooms with plenty of hot water and a very comfortable double bed. The kitchen was small but had everything required. The lounge was very pleasant and only lacking an Ipod docking station. Take some DVD's/CDs with you as the kit is all there.
The flat is in a very good location, with views over the Solent from the front. You're 30 seconds from the nice sandy beach and promenade. Ryde is a nice little (hilly!) town with lots of independent shops as well as the usual names, with 2 supermarkets (Iceland and Somerfield) within walking distance of the flat. We ate at the Malaysian restaurant on the main street which was good and cheap; we would also recommend the Seaview Hotel (£5 in a taxi) for a posh meal (£100 for 2 people if you really go for it). Loads of choices for takeaway too. If you want a fishmonger you'll have to travel to other towns though, but you must try the dressed crab and lobsters during your visit. The pub behind the flat is a nice local and there are trendy wine bars within a 10 min walk.
We relived our childhood and went to the bowling and arcades which are just across the road and inexpensive (good wet weather option).
Ryde isn't central on the island but even the furthest point (the Needles) was only 50 minutes away by car and there's loads of places to stop at on the way. It is a nice town to stay in though.
Overall, really good value for money and much better than a hotel for the same money. Would definately recommend and revisit.
My only small quibble is the early check out time of 10am, would rather midday.

We stayed for a week here in August, and would thoroughly recommend it. It was very tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean, and provided a comfortable base for visiting the Isle of Wight. You couldn't fault the location, just a couple of minutes walk from the beach, and lovely views across to Portsmouth from the flat. The directions were accurate and there were no problems with getting/returning keys etc. If we go back to the Isle of Wight, we'd definitely stay there again!
Would thoroughly recommend Sandlands

My wife and I plus our 7 year old daughter stayed for a week at Sandlands from 14/8/09 and had a very enoyable holiday. The apartment was spotless and as described, the off street parking very useful and time spent washing up at the kitchen sink almost became enjoyable due to the view over the sea! We hope to visit again 1 day.
Great holiday location

I have just returned from a week's holiday in this flat in Ryde. The property is well maintained, stylish with good facilities, quiet and extremely clean. Having two bathrooms, each with bath and over bath shower felt luxurious for two people. The location is ideal- within easy walking distance of the beautiful beach and the many facilities that Ryde has to offer. It is close to the bus terminus and well placed for touring the rest of the island. A good feature is the designated parking space that comes with the flat.
The owner provided very good customer service sending the keys exactly as promised and was prompt with the return of the security deposit. Reading the comments book in the flat it was apparent that the owner had read these comments too and had acted on appropriate suggestions.
I would recommend this property without hesitation. It is as well to be aware, though, that it is up several flights of stairs which were a challenge with a suitcase. This would make it unsuitable for some. However, if this is not an insurmountable problem you will be rewarded with views of the Solent and a really lovely appartment.

We enjoyed a great week off at Isle of Wight in the middle of July. The weather varied - three days were extremely warm and sunny. One day was extremely windy and on the last day we had a pouring rain.
The flat was very nice and cosy. Spotlessly clean and tidy. Everything compact and within easy reach. I my taste the 42” plasma screen would fit slightly better in the living room. Also I personally would benefit from a WiFi internet connection, but that's me ;) Apart from this I cannot think of any possible improvements.
The location was great - 100 meters from a beach and a swimming pool; 10 min walk from the city centre.
The property owner - Debbie was very nice and helpful.
I’ll recommend this property to my friends and I would love to stay here again when I am back to Isle of Wight.

Just had an amazing weekend at the Isle of Wight Festival which was made even better by staying at this flat! It was everything we could have asked for - spotlessly clean, 2 huge bathrooms - which was such a bonus for us! There was every amenity you could require! It is in a lovely quiet location, close to the beach. Thanks to the leaflets supplied by the owner, we found a fab local restaurant. The flat is a 10 min walk to the bus station or to town.
I would recommend the flat without a moments hesitation, Debbie, the owner, is incredibly helpful and made the booking process effortless.
We loved it and definitely intend to return!!!

the flat was great. beautiful and clean.
location was good, close to the beach (like 5min walk) and lots of childrens play area. not far to drive to anywhere else too. shops were close by, a big 24hr tesco was only a few minute drive away. we had the best weather with us, and debbie was a great host. Alice (my 1 year old) loved the place as well.
A flat like this, u can say good bye to hotels.
we'd recomend the flat to anyone, and we will be back for a 2nd visit. (soon i hope)
