• "We enjoyed our stay."

  The kitchen is an especially great feature - great facilities, well stocked with all the equipment you could need, super clean, and so spacious! Really appreciated this with some small children running around. Also enjoyed the garden which is a big space, too. The simple layout of astro and decking was again, brilliant for children. The bathroom layout is a bit unusual with separate rooms for a bath, shower and toilet upstairs. We got used to going in and out of each one with the children quickly, so not a problem - just an FYI for future visitors. Facilities in each one are great. It is also quite a long house. Great in terms of space for a big group, but worth being aware there are a few steps into the dining room and laundry room for any future guests with mobility issues. I contacted the owners to let them know about a few issues with the cot and highchair, and they replied immediately which was much appreciated. The house was tidy and generally clean when we arrived. Some sand on some floors upstairs, but nothing that bothered us. Parking is excellent, with space for 2 cars off-road at the back of the property. On street parking at the front is also possible.

  Hi Becky, thanks very much for the feedback. So glad you all had a great time. Thanks for your understanding regarding the cot and highchair. Hope you can stay again sometime. Best wishes, Natalia & Robert Property Owner

• "We really enjoyed our visit."

  Only a couple of snags. As an elderly lady with a knee replacement I found the steps inside the property quite difficult. Insufficient seating in the lounge as there was 8 of us. Bedrooms could do with a bit more furniture. There was nowhere to put things down. But these were only little niggles and overall we found the house fitted our needs perfectly

• "The house was pleasant although quite a strange layout we found it strange that there were no locks on bathroom or toilet doors and we did have to clean garden table before we could use it sadly we found sandown very jaded and run down although enjoyed visiting other parts of the island."

  Hello Sheila, Thanks for the feedback. In line with new fire safety requirements, the property was fitted for fire doors and, unfortunately, the locks weren’t reinstated at the time. Thanks for flagging and these were reinstated when your message was received. Best wishes, Robert & Natalia Property Owner

• "Cozy, comfortable and clean."

  Don't let old reviews with low ratings put you off this beauty. Thanks to Natalie who answered the smallest of questions with the greatest promptness. The kitchen is so well resourced. There were plenty of towels, a big fridge, a little tap outside the kitchen door to wash sandy feet. The garden is beautiful and the utility room is so convenient because all your wet clothes hang there to dry leaving the spacious bedrooms cozy and warm. Clean comfy beds in all rooms. Lovely kitchen starter pack left for us with some washing tabs. The dishwasher was a lifesaver! The living room has the most comfortable sofas and a big wall fitted TV. There are two toilets and 2 bathrooms, one with a walk in shower and the other with a large tub. Water pressure was absolutely fine when being used simultaneously. Gorgeous Sandown beach is a short walk away. The cafe at the pier serves the best food with good ol' Rock n roll music. Would definitely return and highly recommend beautiful White Sand. Customer service from Sykes has been absolutely professional and faultless. Thanks

  Hi Salome, thanks very much for the review. So glad you had a great stay and found the place comfortable. Also that you were able to reach the property conveniently on public transport. Very much hope you can stay again in the future. Most welcome. Best wishes, Natalia & Robert Property Owner

• "We visited as a group of 6 adults and 1 child."

  We would consider returning another year. It's reasonably close to everything, parking is fine and the garden safe for children. There are a few things that guests need to be aware of : Only small bath towels are provided, you need to take your own hand towels for the bathrooms & toilet. The only shower is fine, but it loses all pressure if a tap is turned on or toilet flushed somewhere else, so you can't run a bath or wash up at the same time. This meant we had to get up one at a time! Hot water is plentiful. The two ovens are great, but the grill doesn't heat up. The fridge and freezer are quite small if catering for large numbers (we ate in and picniced most days). There's only 1 frying pan and no mixing bowls. There's 1 cafetiere, so only 3 coffees can be made at a time. Plenty of glasses and other kitchenware. Lots of storage and worksurface. You can only sit 6 in the lounge there's only 6 chairs in the garden. Some of us took our own pillows, which was fortunate as the provided ones are very thin. The hinges on the rear bedroom window seem broken and it opens fully in any breeze, potentially dangerous for youngsters. And you have to be quite tall to close it! That might seem like a lot of small whinges, but it might just be useful info for someone and allow you to pack things not provided. So it's a good house, slightly shabby and a bit under equipped for 8, but the week we booked was decent value for money. It is probably best suited to slightly smaller groups, particularly those that aren't trying to produce 3 meals a day!

• "Beautiful property, 5 mins walk from the beach."

  Milk, sugar tea and coffee on arrival, little starter pack for dish washer and washing machine. The whole family loved the house which was huge. I would definitely recommend and will definitely return. We were very lucky with the weather so clothes dried out side on airers but a tumble dryer would have been a great idea to have incase of bad weather. Thankyou to the owners for a great holiday let!!

  Hi Heather, It was a pleasure to have you stay and really pleased you had a great stay. Thanks for the feedback and most welcome to stay again. Best wishes, Natalia & Robert Property Owner

• "Lovely spacious house with everything you need for a good holiday."

  The property sleeps8 but there was only seating for 6 in the lounge. My only criticism.

  Hi Mark, Many thanks for the feedback and glad you had a good time. We will look to increase lounge seating in the future. Look forward to welcoming you again. Best wishes, Natalia & Robert Property Owner

• "The only real problem was that the TV was not working very well."

  After contact with the owner, it was fixed the next day, so problem over. We felt that for a property which would sleep 8 there was rather a lack of seating in the lounge. This did not seriously discommode us as we were only six.

  Hi Frank, Thanks for feedback. Sorry again you had trouble with the TV on one of the days, but pleased it was fixed by the TV engineer quickly given Queens funeral weekend. (Water had got into the cable apparently and we’ve had a new cable installed connected to the satellite dish). We’ve also had the TV engineer out again to double check. So we can be sure no future probs should you wish to stay again! You would be most welcome. Hope you enjoyed your stay overall and thank you for the 9.4 out of 10 rating. Best wishes, Robert & Natalia Property Owner

• "We loved this property which is spacious and has character, the beds were very comfortable and lovely bed linen, I scored a 9 for accuracy as there are not 4 bathrooms which wss a big selling point for us, there are 2 toilets/cloakroom 1 up and 1 down plus a room with a shower and a room with a bath, the bathrooms were well appointed but probably could have put a toilet in the "bath" room."

  The location is amazing!! You could fit a large and small car at the back if needed although we always found space at the front. Lots of plates, cups and cutlery so no shortage there, washing machine, dishwasher, outside seating on the deck late afternoon sun, some toys available if needed and a travel cot. Couple of points and it is mentioned in the description this property has a lot of steps, even between rooms which could cat h you out and i would put some low level lighting in the dining room as we felt very wasteful leaving the light on and maybe one for the upstairs as well. We would love to stay again!

  Hi Wendy, Great to have you stay and thanks very much for the feedback. Appreciate your 9.4 out of 10 rating. Would be a pleasure to have you stay again. We’ll ask Sykes to update the description and thanks for the pointer on the low level lighting, which we’ll install in due course. Best wishes, Natalia & Robert Just to update we have now completed the improvements you suggested. Thanks again for tips! Natalia & Robert Property Owner
