Tides Reach

Everything.

Nothing.

Beautiful views lovely balcony 2 bathrooms and 2 toilets disabled accessible

Great Location and very good host.

The apartment was very clean, beautiful and had everything we could possibly need. The owners have really thought through what their guests may require to feel comfortable and at home. The balcony overlooking the Beach was amazing and we are already missing those views and the sound of the waves gently washing up on the sand. We didn't want to leave.

We loved everything. There are no negative comments we could leave.

Tides Reach is in a fantastic location right on the Esplanade in beautiful Shanklin and the apartment has a balcony with a seaview. The apartment was spotlessly clean and the beds were really comfortable. There were some great restaurants and bars for food and drink right on our doorstep and we only had to cross the road for a swim or to hop on the Shanklin shuttle bus. Stan provided detailed instructions in advance on how to find the apartment and everything we needed to know for our stay. I would highly recommend Tides Reach and I will definitely be back.

I couldn't fault the apartment or location!

This property is in a superb location - beach right in front of the door, lovely view from the balcony of the beach, too. Restaurants and Shanklin Chine within walking distance and just a tiny bit further but still within walking distance Shanklin center, shops, lovely antique shops, too, train station, etc. The beach / cliff side is great for treasure searching of fossils and the likes, too. :) It was super-easy to pick up the key according to instructions - and to leave it right there again. No "in person" contact with the owners, but this way we could leave right away which was handy for us. We were in touch with the owners and received replies almost immediately - very helpful. The rooms were comfortable, lots of space and we found everything we needed. We'd definitely stay here again.

Unfortunately the dishwasher and the washing machine didn't work. We were informed about the dishwasher before we arrived and it didn't really matter to us - no problem. The washing machine was a bit more tricky for us - we got in touch with the owners and they were very sorry. They hadn't been informed about the washing machine not working as it hadn't been checked before our arrival and it seems to have been a problem of the electricity (same wall) - they had already informed someone to fix it but they were taking their time to get back to them. So this problem couldn't be solved during our stay. It was a pity, but clearly not the owners' fault. So we solved it by handwashing our clothes.

Location is just steps away to Shanklin beach, where u can watch the sunrise, swim or just chill. The apartment is lovely and clean with all the amenities u will need.

Keys on site awaiting our arrival; no delays

Nothing significant

Clean apartment. Excellent seaside location. Good facilities for cooking.

Had to stay without electricity from 8.30pm on Friday evening till 10.30am on Saturday morning. Although I accept this was most likely an unfortunate one off event that could not have been anticipated it was still a significant inconvenience. This was due to a short circuit and the system tripped and the circuit board was within a locked cupboard. We had to phone the owner who then sent cleaning staff the next day to unlock the cupboard and turn the fuse on. Subsequently we had partial power but several gadgets in the kitchen including the fridge, microwave, oven, kettle and toaster etc could not be used till 4pm on Saturday when the issue was finally fixed. We had planned to cook all over meals which became impossible. Food Items in the fridge were also spoilt since this did not work. I would suggest in future that the cupboard with the fuse box is left unlocked

Excellent location walking distance to all attractions and restaurants. Superb communication with the host. Two bathrooms was a bonus. Parking was easy and available in front of the building.

While the balcony is nice with great Seaview but at side of building it does not seem to get direct sunlight. This did not spoil the stay.
