Sandown's Shelly Chalet holiday rentals

Your coastal break starts here

Hello, I’m Michelle, and Shelly Chalet 80 is my little chalet on the clifftops at Sandown Bay. It’s a comfortable, cosy place with everything you need, and a proper sea view to enjoy with your morning cuppa. If you’re after a quiet week where you can put your feet up, walk the dog, and not worry about a thing, I think you’ll feel right at home here.

A peaceful spot — No crowds, no fuss. Just clifftop paths, sea air, and the sound of the waves.

A proper home-from-home — Cosy and comfortable, with everything you need already there when you arrive.

Dogs are part of the family here too — I’ve got leads, treats, bowls and toys ready and waiting, so nobody’s holiday is an afterthought.

Why book direct with Michelle

Comparison sites are fine if all you want is a bed for the night — but a holiday chalet isn’t a hotel room, and the little things matter more.

When you book with me directly, you get:

  • No extra booking-platform fees on top of your price

  • A real person to ask about the chalet, the dog policy, or the best walk for the weather

  • Flexibility if your plans change — just give me a call or drop me a message

  • Ten years of actually living here, so any local tip you need, I’ve probably got one

The bedrooms

The main bedroom has a comfortable double bed, a bedside light and cabinet, and a double wardrobe — plenty of room to unpack properly. The second bedroom has bunk beds, some storage, and a stash of kids’ games — everything a family needs for a proper little holiday.

The living room

A cosy, open-plan living space with two comfy reclining sofas, a TV, and a dining table for meals together. The barn-style front door lets you open the top half for fresh sea air, without worrying about a dog (or a toddler) wandering off. There's a cabinet of kids' games too, for the odd rainy afternoon.

The kitchen

A proper little kitchen, fully equipped for self-catering — cooker, extractor fan, and an air fryer for the evenings you fancy staying in rather than eating out. Plates, cups, glasses and all the everyday bits are already there, so you don’t need to pack half your own kitchen just to come and stay.

The shower room

A comfortable shower room with a shower, mirror and cabinet, sink and toilet — everything you need after a day on the beach or up on Culver Down.

The outside

Step out of the barn door, and there’s a little bistro table and chairs, looking straight out towards Culver Down — a lovely spot for a morning coffee before the day gets going. There’s a lawn right outside too, plenty of room for the kids (and the dog) to run about safely.

YOUR HOME FROM HOME HOLIDAY IS WAITING

  • Lovely clean and with a personal touch, Really enjoyed staying there, The 5 o’clock wake up call from the crows was a welcome call being from the country side myself was a great thing, better than hearing seagulls at my girlfriends place who lives in Brighton, The crows kept the seagulls away 😊. Great place to get away.

  • Lovely chalet, 4 adults fitted just fine. Comfortable recliners which were perfect for relaxing in, especially as I have to take breaks through the day due to a disability.

  • We needed a base to see the island and this was perfect! Dog friendly and a lovely area! Great walk down to the beach. Small but had everything we needed! Made us feel welcome with the dogs! Fantastic location and nice and quiet! Loved the stable door so could have the top open and the bottom shut to secure the dogs!

The walk I recommend to everyone

Culver Down & The Culver Haven Inn

The clifftop path up to Culver Down starts right outside my chalet, and it’s the one walk almost every guest tells me about when they come back. It’s a steady climb up past the Yarborough Monument, and the view just keeps opening up as you go — Sandown Bay, Bembridge Harbour and the Solent, all laid out below you.

Once you’re up there, the Culver Haven Inn is waiting — a proper family-run pub, dog-friendly, with a fire going in winter, a terrace for summer, good home-cooked food, and free dog biscuits behind the bar. There’s free parking up there too, if you’d rather drive up and walk back down.
