The Island Holiday Company invites you to experience truly iconic coastal living at Sandpipers, Steephill Cove, where uninterrupted sea views, shoreline access and timeless Island charm combine for an unforgettable stay.



Perched directly on the shoreline of one of the Isle of Wight’s most picturesque and unspoilt coves, Sandpipers offers beautifully furnished holiday accommodation in a location that feels wonderfully off the beaten track. With the sound of the sea as your soundtrack and ever-changing coastal views from nearly every room, this characterful three-storey home provides a rare opportunity to stay right on the water’s edge.



Steephill Cove is a hidden gem a traditional fishing cove with no road access, colourful beach huts, fishermen’s cottages and crystal-clear waters perfect for rock pooling, swimming and sandcastle building. The journey down the coastal path only adds to the sense of escape, and the reward on arrival is nothing short of spectacular.



Whether you’re enjoying lazy mornings watching boats drift past, sharing seafood caught just steps from your door, or stretching your legs along the South Wight coastal path, Sandpipers is perfectly placed for couples, families and groups of friends looking to slow down and reconnect by the sea. Ventnor, with its cafés, independent shops, restaurants and sheltered beach, lies just over a mile away, offering the perfect balance of seclusion and seaside life.



About the property



Sandpipers is a generously sized, detached three-storey holiday home sleeping up to six guests. Designed for relaxed coastal living, the layout flows beautifully across multiple levels, with sociable open-plan spaces, sea-facing balconies and a fantastic lower-ground-floor games room opening directly onto the beach. This is a house made for making memories from evenings by the fire to long summer days spent barefoot on the sand.

    Wonderful peaceful location with fantastic sea view. Lovely scenic walk into Ventnor (15 min approx). Nearby donkey sanctuary well worth a visit, as well as the National Trust walk above Ventnor - the views were amazing 360 degrees. Looking forward to a return visit.

    Place was amazing. Fantastic location, really couldn't be better. Spotlessly clean. Best equipped holiday let kitchen I have used. Henry met us with a key and even helped with bags. The Island Holiday Company even helped us book ferries. Really would like to give 6 stars....!

    We had a magical time at Sandpipers, savouring meals overlooking the sea when we weren't in itrock pooling! The house is generously equipped and very comfortable, a pleasure to have arrived to and spend a week there. We very much hope to visit again in future.

    Beautiful location with outstanding views. The property had everything we needed and more - from the well stocked kitchen, to the comfortable seating throughout the property, the new mattresses on the beds, a fun downstairs games room and useful utility room. Henry was a fantastic host who met us on arrival, left a very generous welcome pack in the fridge, and then checked in on us when we left. Many thanks for a lovely family holiday.

    We only had a short stay but loved every minute of it. Everyone I dealt with - Shannon from The Island Holiday Company and Henry the caretaker - were so helpful and professional and super nice. The house and it's location are very special. The sea views from almost every room were lovely, the games room was a fun bonus and the generous goodies waiting for us when we arrived was the cherry on top. Lots to do in the area too. The botanical garden just a stones throw was well worth a visit. Wish we could have stayed longer. We honestly cannot fault it and will definitely be returning.

    Lovely location set in a small cove. Access to the property will be challenging for those who aren't fit as you have to navigate a very steep climb down (and then back up) with luggage. The property is nicely furnished and clean. Henry who looks after the property is great and really helpful. The bread, drinks, cake etc on arrival was a really nice touch. Whilst we enjoyed our stay, we felt that the experience didn't live up to the 5* star price that we were charged. The beds are really not comfortable - this feels like a critical aspect to get right in luxury accommodation. The bathrooms are ok, but not really up to date. We would definitely stay at Sandpipers again, but only if it was at a much more reasonable price. For the price we paid, we could have stayed in a luxury 5* hotel with breakfast and drinks. It is not good value for money. Hope that's helpful.

    Fantastic location - very private with barely any walkers due to the location (cannot access by car). We loved this but be prepared to carry luggage/food shopping up and down the footpath! Great living space and comfortable for everyone. Kitchen hob and oven is wonderful to use (no corkscrew we found out, luckily we had one!). Very generous welcome package of prosecco, butter, bread and OJ! Henry the caretaker was fantastic, and on hand via whatsapp for anything that was needed. Wifi was very good if you are working there.
