Bembridge 1.7 miles. Enjoying one of the finest positions on the Isle of Wight is this terrace holiday accommodation, boasting views over Bembridge harbour on one side and over the RSPB Bembridge Marshes Nature Reserve on the other. Yachtsman's enjoys four floors of contemporary elegance, with a bright and airy aura throughout, offering a superb base for you and your family to explore the Eastern tip of the Isle of Wight. Enter the property into the lobby area, where you can kick off your sandy shoes before exploring the rest of the property; this floor also plays host to a utility with a washing machine, tumble dryer and a storage room, great for bikes and other outdoor equipment. Head up the stairs to the first floor to find the social quarters, where a contemporary kitchen is equipped for catering delicious home-cooked dishes, by making use of the electric oven, hob, fridge, microwave, toaster and dishwasher. Once dinner is ready, settle down at the dining table and soak up the views of the nature reserve, before sinking into the sofa and tuning into the large Smart TV. If you are seeking a peaceful spot to enjoy the views, head to the dual aspect top floor, where you will be spoilt for choice for views as you relax into your evening with a cool beverage in hand. During a balmy evening, open up the patio doors on this floor and soak up the views further, perfect for watching the world go by and catching glimpses of the local wildlife on the nature reserve. Once the sun has set, make your way back down the stairs to the second-floor to find three bedrooms with outstanding views, designed to ensure a flexible sleeping arrangement to suit the needs of your group. Choose between a super-king-size bedroom, where you can look forward to waking up to the views overlooking the marshes, or two twin bedrooms, ideal for younger guests of the group or groups of friends wishing to holiday together. Take a stroll into the bustling village of Bembridge, where you will be delighted to find independent shops, cafés and restaurants, making a great spot for touring the village’s three beaches and the white cliffs of Culver Down on the doorstep. Choose to laze on the glorious sands on the beaches, or if you are feeling daring, try one of the watersports available, including windsurfing, kite surfing, kayaking or deep-sea fishing. Those with a palette for seafood, be sure to walk down to the marina, where you can purchase freshly caught crab and lobster, or if you fancy trying a hand at fishing, hire a boat and go fishing before taking the catch of the day back to the property to cook up a storm! For more picturesque views, visit the National Trust owned, St Helens Duver, a relaxing space for a family picnic, rock pooling and birdwatching; you may see flocks of geese, duck and waders in the winter, whilst in the summer, you may see warblers and other small birds. Travel further afield to find more attractions to suit a family of all ages and tastes, including the Amazon World Zoo, the Brading Roman Villa or head to the county town of Newport, where you will find a larger selection of amenities and attractions including the medieval Carisbrooke Castle. Yachtsman's is the ideal base for that much needed time away with loved ones.
Bembridge is a village on the easternmost point of the Isle of Wight, 11 miles from Newport.

The three balconies are an amazing place to be. The top floor is a very nice place to relax and taking in the views. A very spacious property. Generally well equipped. Just some small points that in no way affected our stay, just check there are six items of everything, cork screw missing. After the winter and storms the waterside top balcony would benefit from a clean. Otherwise great holiday and considering another stay.
