Great Stay - quiet location - comfy

A great place to relax, nice and quiet. I was confused by the written listing - I thought it read there were 2 toilets for the 3 bedroom house however there was only 1.
Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 21 Jun, 2025
Thank you for your kind words—I'm so glad you enjoyed the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Regarding the toilet, the listing does specify that there is one bathroom with a corner spa bath, shower and vanity and a separate toilet with a basin, not a second toilet. I understand there may have been some confusion, but I’ve double-checked the wording to ensure it accurately reflects the layout. I do appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back sometime in the future! Warm regards, Debbie

Cleanliness was far better than the last place I stayed in that was "cleaned" by Doug. Primarily the outside areas. Found driveway rather tight for large vehicle but there was ample parking nearby. Enjoyed and made use of access to beach - much appreciated by those stuck living inland.

What a lovely, spacious house, perfect for our family of 6. Very clean, well laid out and heaps of little extras that made our stay extra special.

Hideaway By the Sea

The name of the property says it all. A fantastic property close to the beach and in a 'secluded' part of the street. A drive's distance to Cowes, but close to bus stops and the MotoGP shuttle Bus stop. Fantastic property with great and thoughtful facilities.
