Description

RECENTLY RENOVATED! BOOK WHILST THERE IS STILL AVAILABILITY THIS YEAR!

Come and relax at this 3 bedroom detached villa. This high spec villa was recently completely refurbished with all new modern fixtures and fittings. It has been brilliantly transformed into a wonderful cabin with huge porthole windows to take in the sea view. With its superb cabin design and being so close to the coast you will almost certainly feel at sea in this villa. You are spoilt with a choice of sea views; either sitting inside or french doors lead to a great outside seating area overlooking the sea. This villa is ideally situated on the Eastern esplanade with only a 10-15 minute stroll to Ventnor beach or 10-15 walk to the small Victorian town of Ventnor.

This villa is ideal for couples or families needing to escape from the hustle and bustle of life, the sea air and great location will be addictive and will most certainly draw you back. Watching the changing colours of the sea and watching the sea go from a calm mill pond to an enraged beast will become part of your escape from the norm.

The dog is also welcome, they will also be well at home in Ventnor with this great walking location.
