No 2 Sandpipers is a comfortable, recently refurbished modern courtyard house situated in the heart of Seaview old village just a two minute walk to shops and seafront.

Seaview is a popular seaside holiday village also well known for water sports and sailing and one of the UK’s favourite destinations throughout the year.

There are excellent sandy beaches, crabbing rocks, shops, seafront pub and café and the well known Seaview Hotel within a few minutes walk away.

Nearby are wonderful downland and coastal walks, historic houses and many visitor attractions for children – in fact there is never a shortage of things to do and see. Children feel free and parents know that Seaview is a friendly, safe place to be. The trip to the island can be as exciting for adults as it is for children. Once you drive on to the car ferry at Portsmouth you really feel you are getting away from it all. The pace of life is much slower on the island and particularly so out of season.

DIRECTIONS
As you approach Seaview from Nettlestone take the right hand fork at the village green signed to shops, seafront and Seaview hotel. Follow the road 250 yards down the hill and turn right through the archway into Sandpipers courtyard. Park in allocated (No 2) space.

The village of Seaview Isle of Wight is picturesque and retains the old world charm everyone seeks. Standing at the bottom of the High Street two minutes walk from Sandpipers you can watch the ocean liners passing to and from Southampton - Queen Mary II being one of the largest. There are small boats, sailing boats, dinghies and all sorts of craft sailing by. The Seaview Yacht Club is extremely popular and thriving. The local one design (known as Seaview dinghies) are built locally by the boatbuilder in the village.

The village remains virtually intact from the early nineteen hundreds with very little modern housing and largely undeveloped. There are a few useful shops for all needs but for large supermarkets etc a drive of 2 miles or so will bring you to Ryde.

The beaches are sandy for children to play and there are really good crabbing rocks. Walkers are happy with the many public footpaths which criss cross the island and of course the coastal path is perennially popular.

The island has much to offer so to have a car is a bonus to explore the many areas of interest although it is perfectly possible to arrive by public transport via the train to Portsmouth Harbour and the Fast Cat to Ryde Pierhead from where an old London tube train connects you via the Pier to Ryde town and buses and taxis to Seaview. Alternatively you can take the Hovercraft from Southsea to Ryde. Ferries also operate from Southampton and Lymington to the island.

There are a number of increasingly very good restaurants - the nearest being The Seaview Hotel which is a lovely boutique hotel with good seafood restaurants and informal bar snacks. The pub on the esplanade is also popular especially as there are tables overlooking the sea.

Places to visit include Appley Park, Brading Roman Villa, Bembridge Windmill, Quarr Abbey, Flamingo Park, Isle of Wight Zoo, Osborne House and Carisbrooke Castle to name just a few.
