Shanklin Beach - Napier

The location was perfect, just by the beach, The flat was nice, clean and had everything we needed in terms of being able to cook our own meals

the car park was really tight - sadly there isn't anything to be rectify this due to the location but larger cars really struggle to park, also as it was a shingle car park, every time someone came in late or very early we were woken up with the noise

Easy to find property. Key easily found. Cannot fault the location. Right on the front with sea views.

Property needs a desperate makeover and a deep clean

Lovely view of the sea

Sitting area and kitchen were well furnished and clean

Double bed was against the wall which made it unusable for two older people so one of us had to sleep in single bed. This is first property we have stayed in where there was no welcome pack…..not even a pint of milk!

Near the beach. Very clean. Quiet.

The parking wasn't explained in any of the advance literature. I did not notice that there were numbered bays on arrival and parked in a random space as there was plenty of room. I did not notice the numbers in the morning either as the paint was quite faded. Another resident was hostile as it transpired that I was in his space. My car mirror had been removed and I could not find it thrown on the ground. I appreciate that this could have been done by anyone and could happen anywhere. It was irksome on arrival to have to go look for a shop to buy toilet paper and washing up liquid - a bit more in this area would havw been appreciated.

The location is fantastic. literally the beach is on your doorstep!
