Beautiful seaside home in ideal location -sleeps 3

My home is spotlessly clean but still very homely. It's located in a lovely quiet area in Southsea 5 mins walk to the beach and many cafes, shops and restaurants. Kings Theatre is an easy 15 min walk. If you’re looking for a trip to the Isle of Wight, the hovercraft or ferry is close by. If you’re looking to hit the shops Gunwharf Quays is close by. If you’re looking for a cultural experience the D Day Museum and Historic Dockyard is close by. Also convenient stop over for ferry to France
