A great favourite for many years, the Kentucky House @ Cowan Cowan is back for holiday rental. Located in a quiet area at the back of town, with bush views, and a two minute walk to the Cowan Cowan beach, is just perfect. Sit back and relax on the covered deck, and enjoy the quietness, be greeted by the bird life from time to time, and enjoy. Downstairs has the main living areas, kitchen, lounge area, dining area, and two bedrooms, laundry and separate toilet and shower. Upstairs is one bedroom with an ensuite with a shower and toilet.
The kitchen is equipped with a gas stove top/oven, plenty of cooking utensils, there is a bbq on the deck to enjoy a great night catching up with friends.
We welcome past guests back, and many new guests to experience this great home.

Check in was easy . Great spot to stay basically centre of the island so easy trips each day. House was great we all had a great time definitely will be back again thanks Kieran
Beautiful stay at Kentucky House. Great location, house was lovely, property manager was easy to contact and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend to others!!
The house is really nice and in a great location. What would have made it better is if there was wifi as there is no phone service. There was an nbn box on the wall but no router. Also outside water to hose your feet of after the beach would be good. Otherwise it's awesome.
We come over every year to celebrate my dad’s favourite place since he has passed away. This was the best house we have stayed in yet. Thank you so much. We had an amazing weekend.
The bunkbed is dangerous, the slats had big gaps, previous damage to the lader. The lader screws are the only thing holding it together, otherwise its just 2 beds and it is wobbly. No hot water the first night. Must have been overcast for the solar? Double mattress in the next room is not good, had several random springs poking me. BBQ pretty dirty orherwise, it is a charming property, about a 3 min walk to the beach, the beach has no cars, so good for kids. The deck in nice and the decor is thoughtful (though no clocks seem to work, a bit trippy). The seats by the fire pit are sweet. Kitchen is very nice and modern
