Great location, comfortably furnished, well designed and well equipped.
Beautiful views over the Emsworth estuary. Lovely walks.
Enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the coots building a nest and other birdlife.
It’s become one of our favourites for a few days break.

Wonderful short break
Our short time at Avocet key was extremely enjoyable and left us completely refreshed and relaxed. The accommodation was very clean and fantastically equipped to a very high standard. The view out onto the wetland pond was constantly changing as we were entertained by a pair of Swans and other water birds, and even a passing fox. We enjoyed the walking options in the surrounding area and the good quality eating options. The availability of the 700 Bus to Portsmouth and Chichester enabled us to visit both without the hassle of car parking. An excellent time all round. We shall be back.

Great location, very comfortable and well equipped apartment
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The location is fabulous, the apartment was warm and comfortable and extremely well equipped for food preparation and cooking. There are also lots of excellent eating establishments within easy walking distance, and so great dog walking too.

Cosy apartment near the sea
Super cosy little apartment near the sea. Extremely comfortable and great location. A tad disappointed that the pond had been temporarily drained, outside of the apartment, but only detracted from the experience slightly.
Would stay again 5*

Lovely to escape.....
A comfy , well equipped home to stay and relax. Very quiet , just the birds .....Lots of walks locally . A good farm shop and fish shop nearby too
The deckhouse had everything you would need to have an enjoyable holiday.
The view from the balcony was lovely.
It was an easy walk into Emsworth which has a variety of restaurants and takeaways.
The sun shone for the whole week and there were lots of interesting places to visit.

Excellent Deckhouse
First class in every respect - super location, comfort, fixtures & fittings - all thoughtfully done.
The visiting grandchildren from nearby Portchester think the deckhouse is fan-tas-tic!!!
So much so we have booked again next year
And grandchildren tell us they’re coming to stay in the second bedroom!!

Fantastic location, easy access to the slip way
Great location right by the water and nature reserve. Easy access to the slip way for small boats and water craft. The bed was really comfortable. Emsworth has great eateries and useful shops, just a short walk away. Being by the water attracted midges and one night there was a strange smell. Overall a very relaxing stay.

Location
Comfortable relaxing living room with great balcony, views over the water stunning. Kitchen slightly limited in space but well equipped. Comfortable beds. The walk through the marina to the charming village of Emsworth a delight. The area has so much to offer in terms of days out. Already planning our next visit to 6 Avocet Quay.

Absolutely beautiful location
We have stayed on a Deck House before but the location of this particular one was stunning. The lakeside views from the balcony were so relaxing.
Internally, perhaps the deck house could do with a bit of an update, although perfectly clean and comfortable.
We will happily return, it’s just such a perfect spot. Emsworth is also lovely. We will be back.

Idyllic location
This is our second stay at 6 Avocet Quay. A well kept location, cut lawns, beautiful trees, great cafe - The Deck in situ nearby. for these unusual buildings of varying standards of love and attention. If you’re NOT looking for modern, pristine accommodation, but rather, dated, non accessible friendly, then the view will insist you forgive its failings, and stay. Balcony facing onto small lake with nesting birds - fantastic. Peace, and just the sound of wild life. The nighttime view is especially captivating.
Comfy beds. Plenty of thoughtful kitchen equipment, books, DVD’s, cleaning products and lovely fluffy towels.
Needs grab rail in bathroom to help with mobility issues. Settees too low. Needs outside water tap to help when hot. Generally fit out is tired, needs redecorating and updating.

Home from home on stilts
A stunning location providing a home from home on stilts. A very thoughtful owner providing not just a comfortable holiday home but one which feels like we’re putting on a very comfortable pair of swish shoes.
The deck house, set in surrounding Chichester Harbour with its wildlife, views and walks relaxed the mind, lifts the soul and fully rests the body.
Thankyou - we’re back at New Year to enjoy 6 Avocet and watch the migrating birds from the balcony deck.
Thanks everyone - a marvellous holiday.

Lovely repeat visit
It's been a few years since we stayed at No 6 but it is still just as good. Cosy and comfortable with a lovely view. Best equipped holiday let we have stayed in. All the kitchen utensils you need with an ample supply of washing up liquid, hand wash, kitchen roll and toilet roll. It's a great location and we enjoyed some very nice trips out to Beaulieu, Arundel, Chichester, Wickham, Lymington and more.

Our second stay in this unusual property with fabulous views & every home comfort. There's nothing to not like. Perfect location with a guaranteed parking spot outside. Easy interesting stroll via the boat yard to the shops & eateries of Emsworth. Heating needed no tinkering - lovely & warm by day, cooler by night. Comfortable sofa with fabulous views & a huge tv. Comfortable bed, underfloor heating in the bathroom, no shortage of hot water, great shower, well-equipped kitchen.

Our second stay - says it all!
The deck house is in a great spot at Emsworth Yacht Harbour - beautiful views of the water and lots of bird life to watch in the pond below the deck - our little border collie loves doing birdwatching! There’re lovely walks from the door. Emsworth has everything you could need, and The Huts at Thornham Marina is a great café just a short walk away. The deck house itself is equipped with every possible comfort and is very, very quiet at night. I can’t fault anything about it, it’s a wonderful place!

Repeat vist
We have stayed at No 6 many times now. It's a great location and the deck house is warm and comfortable. The TV and wi-fi are excellent and it's extremely well equipped. The cleanliness does seem to have declined a little since our last stay however. A dirty towel had been left in the bathroom, the main bedroom drawers were dusty and the trays in the oven were in need of either a very good clean or replacing. But none of that affected our stay and we look forward to returning next year.
