Great stay

Perfect place for kids, had a great variety of kids toys, movies and games available for use. Loved the property was fully secure and had outdoor space for kids too. Bedrooms being seperate also helped make it easier getting kids to sleep at one end of the house. Would definitely stay here again

We stayed here for just one night with our kids and dog, and it was absolutely perfect! If we had the time we couldve easily stayed there longer! Kasia was so great to deal with and can now see why its got its high reviews!The place was clean, comfortable, and welcoming for the whole family—furry members included. The kids had space to play, and our dog was just as relaxed as we were. Highly recommend for families and pet owners. We now have a go to place in cowes!

When we arrived, we had a good vibe from the place. It had everything. Kids liked the toys and backyard. But when we went to sleep, we noticed that the kids bedroom’s blanket smelt of vomit although it had air freshener sprayed over it trying to cover it. It was too late to notify the owner and we are only staying one night. So we had to use what we have to get through the cold night. The owner did apologise for this. Hope they wash the blanket for the next guests. Also just a note that there’s a broken tree branch above the outdoor swings. Hope the owner gets that removed soon otherwise it will be unsafe for the future guests.

I had a wonderful stay with Lucy (did) Communication with the host Kasia exceeded 5 stars.

The property was just delightful, everything provided for a cosy, comfortable stay during Vic winter, including a bed and pet bowls for my Kelpie. She loved the “trampoline” bed. The property was exceptionally clean and presented as a charming beach cottage. The yard is fully fenced and 100% secure for my dog. Also all the yard is grassed both front and back giving her lots of sniffing experiences. Just a few minutes walk to everything that gorgeous Cowes has to offer , . including Cowes jetty and beach there. The communication from host Kasia was outstanding, Thankyou Kasia such a pleasure to have that happen when booking accomodation . I thoroughly recommend all aspects of what I experienced during my stay at Nautical Beach House , Cowes. AND I WILL BE BACK !!!! Providing there is availability .
