Just back from another lovely stay at Salty Holidays. The apartments are located a stones throw from the sandy beach and the sea view is stunning from the balcony. The apartments are a good size and are accessorised with a coastal theme. A newly fitted kitchen and bathroom in ours, and I always sleep well listening to the waves. Booking is easy and Dawn can book the IOW ferry much cheaper. Stunning walks to Steeple Hill Cove and Bonchurch along the coastal path. Beware there are lots of hills and steps to reach the town but this is what Ventnor is famous for. Highly recommend - will be back!!

Our second visit to Salty Holidays, again a excellent place to start your adventures on the I.O.W. The apartments have everything you need with excellent sea views. Salty Holidays will always be our 1st choice accommodation and recommend to everyone. You will not be disappointed.
I spent another wonderful break at Salty Holidays last week with friends. I love the location, and the apartment is a couple of minutes walk from the beach. From the apartment there are beautiful walks across to Steep Hill Cove, where we enjoyed gorgeous crab pasties. The apartment that we stayed in was very nicely furnished, and I ended up sleeping in on the first morning because the bed was so comfortable. Dealing with the owner was an absolute pleasure as always. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much Dawn
The owners/agents were very friendly, helpful and accommodating in the run up to our stay – even during the uncertainty of lockdown and easing of restrictions. The accommodation was clean, living room bright and the views are amazing. Convenient for Ventnor town, the beach etc. Parking was excellent so close to the centre. The apartment block has DVDs, books and games available to use which is a nice touch. Kitchen is well equipped although it is tiny and very dark. You can open the oven door but have to stand to the side of it to use it. The fridge was old and very noisy – when sleeping on the pull out bed in the living room its not ideal! There is hardly any space to hang or put your clothes – 1 small wardrobe and 2 tiny bedside cabinets don’t accommodate 4 persons stuff for a week let alone the 6 it says can stay here. The bedroom contains a double bed and bunk beds – there is only just space to walk around the bed and it's cramped. I think this isn’t clear from the website as no picture shows this. The mattresses are cheap, thin and uncomfortable. Generally, I feel the apartment is tired and in need of a refresh. The carpet is rutted up, there is artex over the walls, leather seats old, the balcony doors are stiff to open. The outside balcony views are excellent, but the seating/table is cheap and there is no privacy as you are right next to next door – it feels like your sitting with them! They can also see in to the apartment from their balcony, the bedroom window looks out on to the main communal area and the apartments are not fully soundproofed so privacy is a general issue with the apartment block. We love Ventnor and this area of the Island, but would not stay here again. I did contact the owner during our stay and they said they would happily refund if we wanted to leave and find somewhere else, but alas it was not possible.
We left the host a glowing review on Airbnb, because that's the sort of people we are! even though....... 1. Horrible black mold in the bathroom 2. Many, many metal stairs to the apartment, and she knew we were bringing a baby, small child and travel cot and all associated gear and she chose not to mention them. Even more stairs to town, see photo, people please be aware. Dawn, the host on the other hand ......left us a bad review even though we cleared up and washed up, I cant believe the fact we left a nappie in the bin (in a bag) warranted a public bad review. The host Dawn, by the way didnt even see the apartment, she was 100's of miles away in Winchester. She was going on hearsay from her cleaner. So that shows the sort of person she is. If in Doubt ask her about the steps, the black mould, the forgetting to leave bedding for our baby and why she spoiled our holiday by leaving us a bad public review, without seeing the apartment. Dont put yourself through it, if you want a nice holiday. Edit: We have now been compensated by the wonderful Airbnb people, but we highly recommend thinking very carefully about giving Dawn a good review, as even though she comes across as very pleasant she wont necessary give you a good public review.
