Relaxing Hideaway

We had a lovely time at Florida, house was very clean and everything that we needed was supplied. Our poochie loved the backyard and lying by the fire after we walked along the beach. Highly recommend staying here for a quiet and relaxing holiday.

Lovely stay..

I found Florida the perfect stay for myself and dog. Clean, comfortable, all provisions neccessary were generously provided. Great back yard and only a short stroll to the leash free dog beach. We found the area quiet and peaceful, would highly recommend it, very reasonably priced also.

Lovely and quiet trip to Ventnor

The house is beautiful and me and my friends loved staying here. Bedrooms are comfortable, we enjoyed the DVD selection, and we loved dining outside on the deck. A lovely spot on Phillip Island, a bit quieter than Cowes. Highly recommend!

Lovely stay

‘Florida’ was a very clean and tidy home and yard for the whole family (including the fur baby) to enjoy. It was well equipped with amenities and wood for the fire. Such a lovely quiet spot only a short drive from Cowes Main Street and the other island attractions. Thank you for having us.
