Peaceful spot
We had a great time at Cowes at this property. A great relaxed feel,
The house is great, very comfortable and we'll laid out.Managing agent insisted that linen was not included and must be supplied or rented through 3rd party, however linen was supplied and hundreds of dollars wasted on rented linen.

"It was an absolute pleasure hosting Michael From the moment they booked, communication was smooth and they were very respectful of house rules. They arrived on time, and the check-in process was a breeze. During their stay, they kept the house tidy and left everything in great condition, which we truly appreciated.
We would be more than happy to host Michael again and highly recommend them to any future hosts. Thank you for being such a wonderful guest!"
All good inside Plenty of room Beds comfortable Kitchen and lounge large Good for kids Nice walk to the beach and not far to drive to Main Street Except there are no power points in bathrooms. And the stairs front abs crack require railings. This has been reported. Difficult to use when you gave poor mobility. But all thi gs considered we really enjoyed out stay.
