Stayed at Ocean deck for a long weekend having found it on holiday rentals.
Having stayed in Shanklin before I knew the area was a good choice for a base on the Island.
The apartment itself is faultless, it is a perfect size for a group of four, in our case two couples, there is only one king bed but we put the singles together to make a second in the smaller bedroom.
The apartment is brilliantly kitted out, lovely modern bathrooms, small kitchen but with everything you could possibly need, even a dishwasher! The living room area is perfect with plenty of games and a TV etc, wifi. The deck was lovely and during the summer must be a great place to sit and eat and drink.
The owners were brilliant and left us some supplies when we arrived.
To walk into the old thatched bit of Shanklin takes about ten minutes and to walk to the seafront about 20. If you struggle with walking up hills then the apartment might not be so great as it is at the top of quite a steep hill but other than that it was perfect and we will no doubt be back.

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful apartment, everything we needed and more. The apartment is much bigger than we expected which suited my family of 5 perfectly. The very lovely owners had left my children an Easter Egg hunt too when we arrived which made their day! I would recommend this property to anyone! It's within walking distance of the beach too!! Perfect!

We were 4 adults and a toddler and there was plenty of room for us all. The apartment is beautiful and clean, the views from the balcony are amazing and the location is perfect. 2 bathrooms mean it easily accommodates 4, there is ample parking and the timings of a 10 minute walk to both the town and beach are spot on. The fresh cakes and prosecco on arrival were also a lovely touch and much appreciated. The apartment is also well equipped with wifi, DVDs, games, local attraction leaflets, maps and all needed for meals in. Really can't fault at all and will definitely be back.

1 review We had a lovely stay in this spotless tastefully furnished apartment. Everything that we could need and a welcome surprise of homemade scones and wine on arrival. Stunning peaceful location overlooking Shanklin Bay conveniently situated near the old village. Suited my family of 5 perfectly, we hope to visit again soon. Many thanks!

Apartment was just what we were looking for, quiet location but only 5 minutes walk from Shanklin centre. We were very lucky with fantastic weather for end of September, beginning of October, sitting out on the decking with a coffee in the morning watching peregrine falcons over the cliffs and red squirrels in the garden.

Upon arriving it was a great relief to not only find the apartment clean and as advertised but larger than expected living room and master bedroom wise. Sure the kitchen is tiny but you don't need a big kitchen on holiday!
The place was modern, clean and was stocked with thoughtfulness. Loved the coffee and the scones and the flowers lasted all week! the wifi was excellent. Much quicker than ours at home! Our 8 year old girl loved the cow pillow. So much so we have managed to find its 'cousin' online to come and stay here!
The views are fantastic and the walk to the old part of Shanklin only takes ten mins tops.
We met the owners briefly as we had arrived much earlier than planned. They where lovely and I'm sure if there had been any problems they would have dealt with them ASAP. Our deposit was returned within 5 days! Excellent.
If/when we return to Shanklin we will certainly stay here again.

1 review This was our third stay at Ocean Deck so it is safe to say we love it here. The apartment is excellent situated for exploring the beautiful Isle of Wight. It is within walking distance of the beach and Shanklin Old Village (albeit up a big hill). The apartment itself is very well equipped, a real home from home and the owners provide an extremely warm welcome. We have stayed with our now 4 year old daighter andf she loves Ocean Deck especially the outdoor space and this year we brought her nanna along and she was equally impressed. I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending the Isle of Wight as a family holiday destination (so much to see and do, wonderful places to eat!) and Ocean Deck is absolutely the ideal place to stay. We hope to return again next year!
