The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When finally getting into our room, after attempting to follow the bad instructions for car parking, we found missing skirting boards, mystery stains and no promised free Wi-Fi with terrible mobile reception. Beds were not the most comfortable and shower was not great, but bathroom was clean. Kitchen area was adequate for short weekend stay, and rooms were a good size. Balcony facing the car park was fine but could be noisy. Location to central Cowes area and the beach was great. ##### A guest from Gisborne, NA This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### John S. 8 Dec 2023 #### Penguin Trip Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful.

But we got the car park instead. The shower was not properly sealed and it flooded the bathroom and toilet whenever we used it. We used all the towel that we wee given to seal the base and had to use our beach towels after showering. We also were given the bed linen when we picked up our keys and had to make our own bed. No very professional. ##### Jenny B.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed here over Easter and were absolutely delighted with our time away. The apartment was located perfectly, clean and comfortably fitted our family. It had a roller door to separate the kids sleep area to the parents sleep area which meant they could go to bed earlier if needed-perfect for young families. It was described exactly how it was presented and getting the keys on a public holiday was very straight forward.We thank you for our stay and will definitely consider this or another property via you in the future. ##### A guest from McKinnon , VIC This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jarid R. 29 Mar 2022 #### Unhappy Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful.
