Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie M. 16 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful family getaway at stunning house! We booked this property for my mother in law's 70th celebration with our family. It was absolutely perfect! The property looks even better than its pictures. In particular, the upstairs area is very spacious, light and bright (with stunning views) - perfect for a family getaway. The dining table inside and outside accommodated us well, as did the family area. There was also a smaller family area for the kids. The outdoor upstairs balcony was gorgeous with a beautiful dining table, deck chairs and views. The downstairs balcony was great too - with easy viewing of the backyard with kids. It also had easy access to the beach (which was a few mins walk away). The bedrooms were great - good bedding options. And the gaming machines were a fun touch for the kids.Location was excellent. Very close to central Cowes but tucked away down a beautiful street. Very close to Coles, cafes, Cowes beach etc.The owners were terrific to deal with too - very responsive and helpful in the lead up and while there (for eg when we had an issue with using the stove).All in all, an excellent experience and we highly recommend! ##### Natalie M. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### David S. 17 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great beach access An older style property with a little quirky character. All the comforts you need including a wood burner for those chilly nights. This property had direct beach access via a rear gate and with only a short walk or 2 min drive to Cowes shops, its location is ideal. ##### David S.

It accommodated our seven person family very easily. The living and bedroom areas offered space and comfort, the kitchen had everything we needed. Would recommend this property ##### Linda C.
