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!

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
