Family-friendly holiday rentals in Sandown

The location was perfect — close to the Co-op for easy shopping and just a 15-minute walk to East Wittering and the beach, which was ideal for our family day out. George met us at the house with the keys, and he was very welcoming, showing us around and explaining how everything worked, which made our arrival smooth and stress-free. There was a lovely little park across the street which the children appreciated. The hot tub was definitely the highlight for the children—they absolutely loved it! The property had everything we needed for a short, relaxing break, and we really appreciated that we could have brought our dog along. Overall, a lovely stay in a great spot. Would definitely recommend and hope to return soon!

We enjoyed our stay at Andy & Rosie's thanks to the great location and beautiful surroundings. We used it as a base for Goodwood, which was a short drive away. The local golf club being so close was also a bonus. The accommodation itself was well furnished and spacious and check in was made simple with the clear instructions and Andy's welcoming greeting on arrival.

Our second visit here, and will likely come back. Astrid is a great host and the stables are a lovely little space to stay with beautiful surroundings and a great location within the New Forest.

Quirky chatectful home from home large place to stay with some great facilities. Like hot tub, quality air fryer and coffee maker. Comfy beds. Plenty of space for our multi generational family get away. Lovely welcome pack of treats. Description accurate re facilities..

Amy’s cottage was very cosy! Great location with the Buddle inn nearby for a delicious dinner. The cottage was more than big enough for our family of five and we had a hugely restful and enjoyable stay. We’ll be back!

We had a wonderful stay at the Old Farm Shop. It was in a lovely location - you could explore lots of beaches and also walk from the doorstep in to the countryside and to the sea. It was clean and tidy and had all the things you would need for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was a great extra! Susie and Sarah were super responsive and helpful. We had a really lovely time, thank you.

Lovely peaceful weekend away. The place was very clean and beds and pillows extremely comfortable. Both lulu and russ were very welcoming and helpful. We used the hot tub on the Saturday and would recommend booking this. The location is great - very peaceful and a 5min drive from the beach and pubs in walking distance. We look forward to returning!

It was an amazing family get-together with children. All the rooms were great, and the kitchen was well-equipped with all necessary items. The beds were a good size, and we had nothing to complain about.

A lovely place to stay. Beautiful surroundings, friendly host and absolutely loved the addition of the ever friendly dog Seven, who we slightly fell in love with and greeted us every morning. Great location and the place had everything we needed for our stay. 2 lovely pubs in walking distance. We will def be returning to explore more the area. Breakfast was also fab and delivered to us on a tray.

Would highly recommend....amazing accommodation, great location and a friendly & welcoming host in Hilary. We'll certainly be back again!

An absolutely gorgeous place to stay. The location was wonderful, you felt like you were in the middle of nowhere, despite there being a pub next door! Lots of walks or cycles from the door, yet 2 minutes from a main road. The house was beautifully decorated and great bedrooms, lovely linen and comfy beds, with fantastic bathrooms. Everything you needed to cook for yourself and great recommendations of things to do and places to go. We had ponies outside our garden! Paul was a great host, responsive and helpful, really welcoming and very kind regarding checking in and out. We were there to celebrate a few things and felt it was absolutely the place for that. The pub next door under new owners was very friendly but did not disturb us at all. Thank you Paul, we had a great stay and would highly recommend it.

A really lovely find and convenient for all the lovely places in this part of Sussex. Katie has included notice that you may hear he children but to be honest they were lovely and whilst we could hear them at times it was not at all intrusive or disturbing. Recommend a lovely stay here.

Absolute Perfection. We have been fortunate to stay at some great Airbnb’s over the past 10 years but this has to be the best! Maria was a fantastic host. She was always friendly and quick to reply to queries, she gave a us loads of helpful information as well as tips of places to visit and go for food. She greeted us at the cottage and gave us the warmest welcome and even baked us a cake! There were other welcoming gifts too including an activity pack and chocolate buttons for our daughter, a bottle of wine, milk, sourdough & local jam. All were lovely. The cottage itself is beautiful, full of character and charm, it felt cosy whilst spacious enough at the same time. It was spotlessly clean and contained everything we could need for our stay. Beds were large and very comfortable. The outdoor space is incredible! There is off road parking for atleast 2 cars, a large fully enclosed front garden, decking with lovely seating area over looking the rear wonderful rear garden.

A lovely top floor apartment with parking space four mins from seafront and two mins from a beautiful rose garden. Photos don’t do it justice. It is much bigger than it looks. Lovely kitchen and lounge. Good WiFi You hear a bit of noise from neighbours (one likes to sing in the shower) but that’s expected as they are apartments and it’s nice noise, no arguments or anything. Lovely neighbourhood. Quiet. The neighbours are also friendly and give you ideas for walks etc.

We had a wonderful stay at the Boat House. It really is a stunning location, close to all amenities and great restaurants, its also an ideal spot just to sit and watch the wildlife, we spotted Herons, Egrets and oystercatchers to name but a few! We also rented bikes from nearby 'Off the Rails' and had a great cycle ride along the river to Freshwater Bay. Would have loved to stay longer but hope to return soon.

This is the perfect place for us as it’s quiet and peaceful with lovely views of the Tennyson Downs to the side. The annex is clean, spacious and has everything you need, including two private outside areas where our dogs could wander free on their own. The location is perfect as it’s within easy reach of Totland, Colwell Bay, Freshwater and Freshwater Bay by car but also on foot. There are shops, takeaways, chemists, leisure facilities and restaurants nearby. Yarmouth is also only a short drive or lovely walk away along the coast and then through the woods by Fort Victoria. There are so many lovely walks that you’re spoilt for choice. Andi checked in on us a couple of times and the hosts were responsive both before and during our stay. We feel lucky to have found this perfect spot and will definitely be returning; this is our second visit and we would highly recommend it.

It was our third stay in this house. The house is always spotless and has everything you could need and more. The hosts are easy to contact and very helpful. The house’s swimming pool is a great perk, with garden furniture and ambiance lights to relax in the evenings. I would highly recommend this place. There is also a beautiful beach within 5 minutes drive and a friendly pub / restaurant within a minute walk. Absolutely perfect.

We had a great family break at Lance's. So convenient to get to the beaches in the area and having a pool on site made the lazy days fun. Lance was very helpful and responsive when we needed him. We had everything we needed for our stay. A great staycation!

Great location for a family break. Entertainment passes included. Kids will love the robots delivering food in the restaurant. Didnt try out the pool this time but looked great. Loved how close we were to the beach beautiful day and night, with stunning sunsets. Also enjoyed a walk around the nature reserve. Great base for getting out on our bikes. We absolutely love the new forest and this was a great base for a short stay. We'd happily stay for longer.

We had such a lovely stay at Linda’s place! Even before the trip, communication was super quick, friendly, and accommodating. Linda went out of her way to answer all our questions and offer tips for the area—and kindly offered us an early check-in, which was really appreciated. The welcome goodies (and the cute stickers for the boys!) were such a thoughtful touch. The bungalow itself was perfect for our trip—comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. We even met Linda’s partner Keith on the way out, who was just as lovely—really friendly and chatty. Thank you, Linda, for a wonderful stay. Would absolutely recommend!

Highly recommended! Superb host. Thank you.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Old Stables. The cottage was immaculately clean and well presented with a welcoming vase of fresh flowers on the kitchen table and some milk and a bottle of wine in the fridge. The pool was amazing, so relaxing, our daughter loved it. Lots of local walks from our doorstep that our dog loved with a very friendly cafe/ shop in the next village. The online guide with a map and list of different places to eat and visit was very useful and having it on my phone meant it was easy to refer to.

Fantastic location for walking & exploring. The barn is beautifully presented and stylishly furnished. Very spacious. Loved seeing the Llamas on our morning walk with our dog - on our doorstep. The New Inn pub down the road - Victoria’s tip - awesome, friendly, great food at a sensible price - try the venison or brill filets! Our only regret was that we didn’t stay for longer. Thank you team Shalfleet Farm.

Hard to put into words……Tara’s place was amazing, it was a few days away for my girlfriend’s birthday and I had even asked Tara to put up some birthday decorations in time for our arrival which was a nice touch. I can’t fault this place or the host what an amazing experience thank you and we’ll be back again. Check out The White Lion pub great food and drink and only a 10 minute walk away
