The perfect Cowes location, not in the busy heart but walking distance to shops, town, restaurants and so close the beach. Tidy house with everything you need for a family stay. Loved the greenery and cool of the private yard. Comfy and cosy. Would happily return

Great house and location

The property had everything we needed for our short stay (2 single mums - one with a 5yo and the other with 12 & 15yo). Easy access to the beach and shops, great that there was beach equipment and bikes we could use. Plenty of space for us to spread out.

A winter break over the long weekend, but woke up to no hot water. Is it that hard to provide hot water for guests paying over 500 per night?

Great location - Wonderful property!

What a beautiful home, a very short stroll to the beach where we often saw a wallaby just by the track. Well appointed with everything we needed to cook, relax with a great range of books, or play any number of family friendly games. Very easy to maintain and check in was easy. We loved the outdoor shower and perfect entertaining courtyard. Hope it’s available next time we visit!

Poor & Below Average amenities & communication

Toiletries wasn’t even refilled, we need to buy our own toilet paper and shower gel. Looks like they don’t even care about refilling. Poor communication with host as massage owner on day of booking which is 2 months ago and never reply. Followed with him and no response, even day before there were no messages from owner for check in, I have to followed up on that. If you consider to book this property please carry own toiletries and toilet papers. I won’t recommend to My friends or won’t book again here.
