The Isle of Wight, situated off the South Coast of England, is becoming an ever-more popular location for permanent and second homes. Made popular by Queen Victoria, who had her maritime residence at Osborne, the Island is famous for sailing in the Solent; for Cowes Week; for its beautiful coastline including sandy beaches and The Needles; spectacular countryside and long sunshine hours. Sainsburys, Tesco, M&S, Waitrose, Lidl, Aldi and Asda all now have a presence. Communication and transport links are excellent; regular car ferries connect with the motorway network and fast catamarans have connections via Southampton and Portsmouth with direct trains to London Waterloo which can be reached within 2 hours of leaving the Island.

Leisure opportunities abound - walking, riding, paragliding, hang-gliding, sailing, wind surfing and other water sports, rugby, football, cricket and golf clubs. Transport links enable day trips to the shopping centres of West Quay, Southampton and Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth.
