About this property

Our much-loved family holiday home offers the best of all worlds, being right on the Duver Road beachfront and only five minutes' walk from the Seaview village centre. It is the perfect location for a two-family or extended family holiday - just cross the small road and you are straight on to the sandy beach with sandcastle-building, rockpools, swimming and beach games to keep everyone entertained for hours - with the house facilities just a footstep away. Inside the house you can relax on comfy sofas in the sitting room, play pool in the sunroom and even enjoy tickling the ivories on the piano! Bedroom layout is ideal - 6 sleep upstairs with a beautiful newly refurbished bathroom and the 2 downstairs bedrooms work well for grandparents or a second family with a shower room and lots of space. The house is comfortably furnished and the kitchen very well equipped as we love cooking! The sunny, south-facing garden is spacious, being mainly laid to lawn and there is private parking for one car. Seaview is easy to get to, only 10 minutes from Ryde hovercraft and foot passenger ferry, and 20 mins from the car ferry at Fishbourne (Portsmouth crossing), and ideally located for visiting the many attractions and beautiful landscapes and seascapes all over the island. NB we have partnered with an organisation which can get generous discounts on the ferries for our guests.

Perfect weekend away

8 adults 1 baby and 2 dogs stayed at this large family house, we had a brilliant time. It didn’t feel overcrowded. The views and location are brilliant. 2 minutes walk down the road is a nature reserve , and a further 10 minute walk is a lovely restaurant called the Boathouse. I would highly recommend this house.

Spacious house and garden in amazing location

We were a group of two families with small children and had the most wonderful week staying here. The house was a great size for all of us and we enjoyed bbqs in the garden on sunny evenings. It was magical to be just over the road to the (wonderfully dog friendly) beach. Lots of sand and rock pools a stroll away. The owner is very friendly and helpful and the house had absolutely everything we needed. Hope to be back!

Great time in Seaview

The house was all we expected and wished for. The lovely large garden was a surprise and luckily we had weather to use it for the first half of the stay. All in all a great trip…plenty of room for adults friends to cook, play games, eat, etc. Great to walk into town and to swim in the sea. We went adventuring across the island in cars during most days. Many thanks.

A real gem!

The location is excellent, a stone’s throw from the wonderful beach which we thoroughly enjoyed with our children and dogs. Seaview itself is a lovely, friendly and pretty village. The area is very dog friendly and they have plenty of room in the house and a great south facing, enclosed garden to enjoy too. There was everything you could need in the kitchen and comfortable beds. Kate was fantastic from start to finish with the booking process and we would not hesitate to stay here again or recommend it to family and friends. A magical weekend from start to finish

On the coast at Seaview

An excellent position just over the road from Seaview's excellent beach, ideal for family holidays. The upstairs bedrooms have very limited headroom, and the bunk bedroom downstairs opens directly into the other downstairs bedroom. Furnishings overall are rather dated, though all bathrooms have been well refurbished.

Fabulous home! Fabulous location!

We have just returned from a long weekend stay at Gullsands. This lovely, warm, spacious home easily accommodated our two families (four adults, three adult-sized teens and two older children) with comfortable beds for all, fabulous bath/shower rooms, a well-equipped kitchen including a large table for family meals. We enjoyed breakfasts in the lovely sunny private garden, the pool table was a big hit and the open fire & large squashy sofas perfect for a movie night after a day on the beach. Gullsands is a very short stroll along the seafront to the heart of Seaview where we highly recommend Lily's Cafe for coffee, cakes and waffles plus The Old Fort for a delicious evening meal. Gullsands is a perfect base to explore further afield across the island... or simply enjoy the beach & rock pools immediately in front of the house! Communication with the host, Kate, was faultless - prompt replies and she couldn't be more helpful. Our four-day stay was not long enough! We wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend Gullsands and will definitely be back in the future.

Big Christmas family fun

The photos online obviously sold the property to us which is why we booked it. It was exactly what we were expecting and more. We booked for a big family/friends Christmas break and there was definitely enough space. The layout of the house was brilliant and the rooms and space suited everyone's different needs. There was more than enough crockery,cutlery, cooking utensils to make cooking Christmas dinner easier. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would definitely return in the future, maybe a summer holiday to enjoy the lovely garden and bbq.

Seaview and it so was!

Ideal location for walking and relaxing, the house is quite unique which we loved and the layout worked well for us - six adults and two teenagers - the pool table and piano provided us with many hours of entertainment and competition. Seaview is a very peaceful area, and Gullsands a charming place to stay, the owner was very helpful and friendly, we will definitely return!

Highly recommended. Very clean, comfortable home and in an excellent location.

The communication from Kate was absolutely perfect. The house is very clean and I loved the layout. Having cycled around the island both ways a bath was very welcome and oh my goodness WHAT A BATH!! Close to sea, pubs, shops... everything ran smoothly and we are all very happy. Thank you Kate.

Great beachfront house for extended family stays with excellent facilities

We stayed with two other families at this property over Xmas. There were six adults and three older children. We loved the house for the location, facilities and presentation. The house has a good size kitchen with all the equipment you need. The lounge and dining area are large with plenty of seating. The pool table was great for the winter days. The house was warm, and there was a cosy open fire with wood provided. Bedrooms are comfortable, and the bathrooms are good. We found the host excellent to deal with, and very helpful. The house was good value for the cost. I would stay here again, and would recommend to others.

Great Beachfront House, Home from Home

A beautiful house with plenty of room for 8 of us plus 2 dogs. The added benefit of a downstairs bedroom and bathroom made things easier for our Mum. Well equipped kitchen with everything you would need as well as a large dining area. The pool table was a definite hit. Fabulous location looking out to sea and just a walk across the road to the beach where we spent most of the weekend. Lovely pub within walking distance. Kate was great to deal with and really helpful. We would highly recommend staying here and hope to visit again one day.

Great location, plenty of space benefitting from a lovely garden and steps to the beach

Two families sharing comfortably, plenty of space and kitchen very well equipped. Lovely bathroom upstairs though we had no time to use the huge bath !). Nice enclosed garden for kids to play in and a bbq for the family to use. Great location, short walk to pubs and lovely coastal walks north or south. Play ground at puck pool park down road too but the beach was sufficient entertainment.

An amazing weekend

We stayed 4 nights at Gullsands as a family to celebrate my Mums 80th birthday, the house is lovely and huge, there were 8 of us and 2 dogs and there was plenty of space for us all, it was so nice to have 2 bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs, made things easier for Mum. The kitchen is amazing, if the weather is unkind you could happily eat inside, we were lucky enough to be there for a very hot bank holiday weekend so used the lovely garden and bbq alot, the garden is fully fenced and secure for dogs. The pool table in the lovely sun room provided extra entertainment when the sun went down. The location is fab with the beach just across the road and 2 great pubs within walking distance, 1 at each end of the road. Kate was great to deal with and really helpful. I would highly recommend Gullsands and can't wait to go back.

Gullsands, The Duver, Seaview

Good standard property; spacious inside and out. Excellent sea front position with easy on street parking within limited no of demarcated spaces; and other parking options nearby ( free parking in car park overnight). Good amenities within the property but main bathroom/shower would benefit from subdivision to ease congestion at peak times.(Not a major criticism.)

Fantastic February holiday

Despite the bad weather, we had a wonderful time staying at the house. Plenty of space for 8 of us, the kitchen facilities were great and the beds were really comfy! It was a nice walk along the beach to the pub which was always accomodating and friendly. The owner was also great, always quick to respond and help with queries. I would highly recommend staying here and would love to return in the future.
