Relax in front of the tv, cook a meal in the fully equipped kitchen or enjoy a bbq out on the back deck. With split system heating and cooling in the main living area, as well as an additional electric heater, you will be kept comfortable year round.
Tastefully decorated in a relaxed beach theme throughout, makes this property feel welcoming and comfortable.

Good very relaxing stay warm and dry easy location to beach and township our dog enjoyed the backyard and warm outdoor shower/hose down after visit to beach great amenities 😃
Great location, close to shops. Hassle free check in process. Great little family house to accommodate my family. The only disappointment was cleaning was overlooked in most areas as you would enter rooms and walk through cobwebs and see a lot of dead insects on windowsills and behind appliances on benches. But a great place to stay.

Really great
I loved how cute n nice the house was, just alot of spiders, woke up with spiders on the bed, spider infestation or something, alot and alot of spiders
This holiday house is so well set up it’s just like it was your own which you just returned to. Not only is there every possible thing you’d need in the kitchen and laundry there are multiple coffee makers and a stock of pods! The beach is just over 5 minutes walk and probably 15 to the Cowes supermarkets and restaurants. You will spend lots of time on the back deck.
Our stay was thoroughly pleasant! Upon arrival the overall feel of the place was homely. Everything had its place, the plants, the kitchen was filled with all the things a home has! Only little thing was the internet was a little slow but that wasn't something that would stop us from coming back! Thank you for your beautiful home!
We loved staying on this home, very cosy and comfortable. We stayed in early Sept so was cold outside, the house was warm and we loved the fire outside.
Great property with a lot facilities. Big house and nice and modern shower arrangements. Outside area is lush green and really enjoy evenings coffee outside.
The property was okay, photos online make it look better than it actually is.
I don't believe the house had been cleaned properly as there was a fair amount of dust throughout the house but all in all was a good experience and enjoyed our stay.
Although a dated property, it has a fully renovated bathroom and laundry. Laundry is spacious with a second toilet. Everything that you need is provided (besides linen as per listing). Great outdoor area at the back. A really well looked after property.
We loved our stay at this rental. The owners have put in a lot of effort in decorating, indoor plants, cleanliness and the street was so quiet we had an awesome stay. I highly recommend this house.
