Occupying a beachfront location with uninterrupted sea views of the Solent from East to West, the House at Ryde Sands is your idyllic island retreat.
A beautifully interior designed home with private gardens including a South-facing sun terrace and direct beach access to the sands at Ryde, this characterful cottage sleeps up to six people in three bedrooms and is ideally suited for those looking for a seaside family getaway or couples retreat.
With long, spacious stretches of sandy beach, a thriving independent shopping scene and fabulous eating out, Ryde is a quirky mix of a traditional seaside fun, Victorian architecture and unexpected hidden gems!
One of the UK's original seaside destinations and much loved by Queen Victoria, a trip on the FastCat or Hovercraft is part of the joy of a visit to Ryde. The town is easy and quick to get to from the mainland - perfect for a short break.
In summertime there is always something happening on weekends and in the evenings and the whole town is lively, whilst in the wintertime it is a great place for beautiful coastal walks. From our house you can walk straight onto the beach and along as far as you like!
The beach at Ryde has also become very popular for kite surfing (wind dependent) and our place is an excellent starting point for round the Island cycling.
You will find the House at Ryde Sands in a quiet residential area to the West of the pier, just a ten minute walk from Ryde town centre with it's fantastic array of local amenities and shopping.
We offer parking space for two cars in a gated driveway which is shared with our house next door.
