The very well-equipped kitchen made cooking easy, the view from the balcony is beautiful, and the location is close to everything but far enough away from the bustle of central Cowes to be peaceful. Thank you, we loved it. ##### Joanne K.

It's far enough away from the centre of Cowes to offer a sense of peace and quiet, and we loved sitting out on the back balcony to take in the view at different times of the day. It's well set up, the only down-side was that the mattress in one of the upstairs bedrooms wasn't very comfortable but there were so many other beds available that this didn't matter. ##### Langdon R.

My only small comment was the Venetian blinds were quite dusty. Queen beds were upstairs and single beds downstairs which made it slightly challenging when traveling with young children, but we all had a wonderful time. It is in a nice area, walking distance to the beach. Would definitely stay again 😀 ##### Beth S.

The highlight is the great view from upstairs deck . Some things need fixing or upgrading for the price charged . The electric kettle doesn’t switch off automatically. The crisper door on the fridge is broken.the downstairs living room TV doesn’t work as a tv … can’t understand the audio and badly pixcillated …. For 8 people you need two TVs that work . The two single beds in one of the bedrooms are cheap and uncomfortable, an upgrade wouldn’t cost much . The front gate needs to be fixed. None of these re show stoppers but at your price point they should be fixed . We left the fire set for the next guests …. It’s nice to have this when you arrive , We enjoyed or stay and my comments are meant to be helpful . ##### Peter D.

It was clear no one had checked the property before we arrived. The bins collected Thursday were still outside the property when we arrived Friday PM. 2 beds fell apart which we put back together. The windows needed a good clean (particularly the lovely back windows) and the carpet was stained. One of the vacuum attachments was sitting on the wood fire which had not been dusted. ##### Colin H.

The property was well appointed with everything we needed. Our dogs loved it too, short walk to beach and good fencing. The stairs are steep but manageable - even for 80 year olds. The views are lovely. Bedding configuration was different to what we expected - two queens upstairs, two twins downstairs - the sofa bed saved the day! ##### Pamela J. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Helen H. 15 Mar 2019 #### The booking costs were excessive. The property/ house was excellent. Clean and spacious. The booking process was onerous. We booked with HomeAway, who took our money then passed us onto Coast and Country Getaways. More money. Then a huge deposit. Then excessive charges per person for linen. So for two nights we paid A LOT. 25% service//administration fees is outrageous. Plus it took ages to get our deposit back . Will not bother with either of these booking places again. I feel sorry for the house owner. ##### Helen H.

We had a fantastic time at Cowes on the Bay. The property is far enough away from the hectic pace of Cowes - yet close enough to the action at the same time. Once you get upstairs and turn left - WOW!!! The view is totally unexpected and quite the view. The kitchen is well supplied with all the cleaning products you need, and the owners have thoughtfully stacked the pantry with a few staples. They even have milk in the fridge. I loved the welcome box of Favourites and bottle of wine. The main room is tastefully decorated. It is not super luxurious, but it has a really nice feel. The balcony has a fantastic day bed that got much use from us just sitting there and enjoying the view. We were hoping to use the wood fire heater but it was too warm, but we did fire up the chiminea which is outside in a little shell and cactus garden. We made use of the table tennis on the downstairs balcony which also has a view over to Somers from the downstairs balcony. We will be back! Just gorgeous. ##### Kristina This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Glenice C., melbourne Australia 18 Sept 2017 #### Lovely property. We all enjoyed our stay and the beautiful views from the living areas meant that weather did not impede our enjoyment at all. Very little lacking but some mirrors in the bedrooms would make sharing of bathrooms easier. ##### Glenice C.

The view was outstanding, water views from top and lower deck. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and the yard catered for our 2 dogs. Easy walking distance to the beach and 1.5 km away from boat ramp (tidal dependent). This property would suit 2 x families, large enough to cater for all. Overall all much more than we imagined. ##### Alison K.

I met with friends, from Perth, Benalla and Melbourne and just loved this house. It is spacious and comfortable and has a fabulous view from the main kitchen/family zone and balcony. The wood heater made it all the more cosy as it was the middle of Winter. The house is very clean which is most important. Will be back. ##### DebbieFromNewcastle This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Anonymous 29 Mar 2016 #### Great house Plenty of space.
