Very wonderful property. Lovely spaces for our large family to come from Canada and stay during the holidays. Everyone was pleased with the well stocked kitchen and home full of so many options for lounging, cooking and washing up. The bathroom configuration was well thought out as well. We had 10 people and it was great. Donna was a lovely host, although we never met, you can feel the love they have for their home.

Memorable birthday celebration weekend.

Four generations of family celebrating a birthday milestone. The pool room was a bonus. Room for all in the house. Well set up - took utensils which I didn't need. All in all the facilities supplied helped make a memorable family birthday a special occasion.

Cowes birthday weekend

Stayed at this property with 16 family members. Arrival was easy and everything was there that you could possibly need. Kids enjoyed the pool table out in the back room. 15 min walk into town was easy. Great property and would recommend. Hosts were also great to deal with. Thanks again

Perfect property for large family getaway!

The property was perfect for my extended family of 20 for a weekend away. The living area was spacious for the whole family to relax and enjoy. Rooms were neat and tidy, and overall cleanliness of the house was exceptional. The games room and outdoor areas are great additions. Perfect location in a quiet street, with only a 5min walk to the beach, and a 2min drive in to Cowes town. Communication with hosts was excellent and timely. Thanks again Mark and Donna for a wonderful stay, looking forward to coming back for a summer weekend soon!

Lovely property for huge family

We were a group of 10 adults 7 children and 3 infants. The property was so big it didnt feel like we were all cramped in. The big kids got their own room and all the adults too! Plenty of space outside for kids to ride bikes and trikes and a motorised gate along the front of the property meant the kids werent going to go out on the road. Only a short walk down the road to play at the beach where there is also a cafe. Donna and Mark were very easy to deal with and the whole process went very smoothly.

Perfect holiday accommodation for a large family

We had three generations of our family staying for four nights in this beautiful house and the set-up was perfect for such a large group. Very quiet neighbourhood and so close to the beach and the Boat Ramp Cafe. We are already planning to return next summer. Thanks Donna and Mark.
