The property accommodates 6 guests and is comfortably furnished with two double and single bedrooms, family bathroom and separate shower room, fully fitted kitchen and open plan lounge/diner.

There is a decked outdoor seating area at the front of the property and another seating area at the top of a rockery on the east side of the front garden. There is also plenty of parking.
From the bungalow you can take a pleasant stroll (10 – 15 minutes) along the footpath to Woody Bay. A 10 minute drive will take you into Ventnor, a Victorian seaside town with buildings full of character. In addition to the main shopping street where you will find a selection of small supermarkets to include a Co-op and Tesco Express, there are parks and gardens, museums and the Winter Gardens - an entertainment venue with a growing reputation for theatre, concerts, comedy and dance shows and of course the restaurant/bar.
On the way to Ventnor town you will pass Steephill Cove where you will find a cafe and restaurant among the handful of cottages nestled behind this beautiful sandy beach. Unfortunately, most of the beach disappears during high-tide, however, during low-tide, there are numerous rock-pools for the kids to search. Ventnor Botanic Garden which lies in the remarkable microclimate at the heart of the famous 'Undercliff.' This unique garden is protected from the cold northerly winds by chalk downs. In addition to enjoying the lovely gardens, it also hosts events and exhibitions and there is a restaurant and Cafe on-site for refreshments; lunch or coffee and cake!

We loved Baltija
We have had a wonderful week at Baltija. The bungalow was very spacious and well-equipped. The location was so peaceful, and we were able to take a walk down to the coastal path and the local bay one afternoon - beautiful views. The staff in the office were very friendly and helpful when I rang with a couple of questions, and they booked our ferry for us with a discount. We definitely want to return.

Dated but comfortable
A large property that has not had much updating since it was built. Well equipped and most things worked well, although I suspect it might have taken an entire day to run a bath! Pleasant grounds. Would be a very economical place for a large family

Peace and tranquility
If you are looking for a relaxing place to spend a week or two, Baltija will certainly provide that. I have stayed at this property for several years, if you like walking there is plenty to choose from in the area, coastal or cliffs, I can recommend High Hat, where you can pick up the path from Seven Sisters Road, it’s a steep climb up but you will be rewarded with magnificent views.
Clean and well presented, well equipped and spacious, quiet and private location. Stupendous weather. Found shower over bath hard to regulate. Try Eco plus a moderate setting. A few more sockets wld be good for devices, also a better vacuum cleaner. We would certainly visit again.

Adequate cottage in need of TLC
Musty smell on arrival, out door furniture needed cleaning before use, relaxer chairs needed replacing. Heating and hot water system a challenge, shower over bath would not maintain a constant temperature , the water control on second shower fell off. All very dated, tourist informacion was mainly 3 years out of date. No welcome pack of any sort.
Well equiped and good sized rooms.

A lovely family holiday home.
Baltija was a comfortable holiday home that was ideal for our 3 generation family holiday. A little dated in decor but very clean and well equipped. The bedrooms were spacious with comfy beds and nice quality bed linen & towels. A few more electric sockets would have been handy in the bedrooms, but we purchased an adapter which solved the problem. The bathrooms were very clean and served their purpose. The showers were not particularly powerful but again served their purpose. The lounge & dining area was very spacious with enough seating for all and a lovely outlook onto the garden and beyond (sea view!) Our grandson used the high chair and that was very handy! The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything and more that we required during our stay. We only used the outside decking area a couple of times but if the weather had been warmer in the evenings we would have used more! The bungalow is a little dated in decor but it didn’t affect our holiday. Overall we all really enjoyed our stay in this lovely quiet location and it was a great base to visit the many lovely places on the IOW. Thank you!

Needs a Bit of Updating and EV Owners Beware
The property was generally OK, quite clean and with relatively new kitchen appliances, but in need of some re-decoration and, on balance, rather expensive for its location and state of repair (see later).
My main complaint however is that with 2 weeks to go to my holiday start date I was emailed by Island Holiday Homes and given a unilateral instruction that I was not allowed to top up my electric car on the property while staying there. There was no discussion or consultation on this, nor any indication they would be ok with top up charging if I paid an extra charge.
I usually rent 2 or 3 holiday cottages per year and this is the first such restriction I have seen. I realise power costs are increasing but a top up charge would only have used approx 40kw or charge - say £15 - and I would have been happy to pay this. Instead I was forced to make a 2 hour trip to Tesco Extra/McDonalds near Ryde, on the other side of the island, to charge my car.
I have also been advised that this last minute change to the holiday let was an illegal change to the contract and I would have been within my rights to cancel the let without charge if there had been time to do so. I would not have rented the property had this restriction been shown when I first made my booking via Cottages.com.
I am not seeking any payback or compensation but I do feel that if a property is advertised on several sites then all those sites need to show the same details and restrictions and it is not acceptable to change those terms of contract unilaterally on just the one site.
I must also say that the state of some of the property decoration, very, very low hot water pressure/flow in the bathroom (it took 20 minutes to part fill a bath each night for my Granddaughters to have a bath!) and the property having a selection of old dvds but an out of order DVD player meant I would not recommend it as a value for money holiday hire for other families.

3rd Visit
For us this has been the best property we’ve found on the island. The
Undercliff is a beautiful, quiet area well placed for visiting the rest of the island. The coastal path close to the bungalow has excellent views. A very comfortable, spacious place.

Lovely location out of town but not cut off
The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and a well equipped kitchen. Great location for coastal walks, and not too far to get into Vendor for shopping (can't help the lack of a pavement in places!)
One thing I would improve would be the size of the 'double' bed - did it a bit hard sleeping comfortably.

Generally the bungalow was good and in a great location however some things were lacking.
A good quiet location and very comfortable accommodation. However the property did not quite come up to our expectations due to the following:- 1) No welcome note, milk or anything else (surely not because of the corona virus?). 2) There was no key in one of the bathrooms so could not be locked. 3) One bedroom had no light bulb (and no spares that we could see) 4) Some of the dishes in the cupboard had mould on (possibly put away wet) and some other bowls and cutlery were rather dirty. 5) The books from the shelves had been bagged (which was fine) but these appear to have been thrown into the airing cupboard around the spare sheets etc and some had come out of the bags onto the sheets. 6) During a power cut the night lights that we were told to use were not present above the cooker and only tall candles were present which we were told NOT to use! 7) The window in the kitchen could only be closed by pushing it from outside. 8) The vacuum cleaner didn't appear to work so cleaning was made more difficult.
I would possibly recommend this property to others but as the choice is either yes or no so I have had to choose the latter.

Issue of wight holiday home in a Wonderful location
We come to the Isle often to visit family and have stayed in many places. Ventnor can be steep so when we found this bungalow we thought it would be perfect for her. It's not very modern and the showers were very powerless but other than that, we thought it was perfect. Sitting on the veranda eating breakfast was lovely. Its a short walk to woody bay which is a quiet beach, albeit a bit rocky. It was very quiet other than chickens next door and the odd lawn mower. We'll be back!

Lovely holiday location
This is a really spacious bungalow with a great outlook. Good to have a well equipped kitchen, it's worth bringing some coffee pods for the Lavazza machine - it makes excellent coffee. The outside dining area was really popular, we had all our meals there. It doesn't mention it the property description that there are views of the sea from there. The walk down the lane to Woody Bay was a great end to each day.
