Great for multiple families

Stayed with my children and my mum and brother. Great for them to have a separate space. Yard was great for children.

Quiet, comfortable, lovely stay

House was so close to a quiet beach that we went every day. A nice walk along the beach to Cowes shops. Beds were very comfortable and plenty of space for the dogs to run around in the garden (front fence might be a bit low if you have dog prone to escaping). A great range of beach games available to use (we had a great time playing beach cricket and volleyball). Communication was very quick and easy with managers. Noticed the second bedroom in the Shack doesn't have curtains to block out the skylight. It was a nice relaxed family holiday, would love to come back.

Perfect family getaway

Amazing location and ideal stay for two small families with the two properties on the one large, shady block. Perfect for a summer getaway. We stayed with 3 small children and our fur babies too and it was perfectly catered for. Location is amazing, a 3 min walk to a lovely quiet beach. This will become a regular holiday for our family now.

We enjoyed our stay but the fly screens were not insect proof and AC did not blow cool air.

Nicely renovated shacks with modern and clean facilities and comfy beds. Large deck and shady trees really make for a lovely outdoor feel. However the fly screens in the front shack were not insect proof and the place filled with bugs on hot nights when we wanted to get the benefit of the evening breeze. Also, the AC in the front shack did not blow cool air. Get these basic things fixed and it’s all good. One last note - the rear yard is not fully fenced to be able to keep a dog in.

Great location, beautiful shallow beach, great family trip

Houses were beautifully renovated, had everything you need. Was perfect for our 2 families with small children. Great shady backyard & such a short walk to the beach where the kids had a great time catching crabs when the tide was out. We'd love to come back.
