Visiting Cowes to go whale watching we were lucky to stay in a wonderful holiday apartment. Ideally situated less than 100m from the beach and the Main Street, it was a quiet and idyllic spot to stay. The apartment has everything you need and is beautifully presented. Neat and clean with comfortable furniture and all the items you need. A bit cold to utilise the pool but it was very inviting

Awesome little place with everything needed for a small family. Walking distance to Cowes and the beach. Everything was clean and well cared for. The pool and playground, plus large deck to relax on really made our holiday special.
Very old hot water system. Hot water pressure in the shower was extremely slow. The showerhead is required to be replaced.
Kitchen with Induction Cooktop doesn’t work!

Reviewer Comments:
Oven was full of roast dripping. Webs and leaves as well as a large dead spider in different parts of the kitchen but in plain sight. Carpet was filthy, hadn't been vacuumed and noice from adjoining units felt like the walls and ceiling were not insulated against noise. Curtains also have large gaps affecting privacy as it is a shared space and we were on ground floor so everyone walking past our window.

Was a very enjoyable stay, would stay again. Loved the pool, we swam every day. Great location, just a short walk to the beach and shops. Could be a very good retreat for a group (As long as those upstairs are not too noisy, you can hear them walking around) But overall a very good stay.

Lovely stay in Cowes but had a few issues with the property. 1) some maintenance required in the bathroom, 2) fridge iced over & leaked, 3) oven not clean, 4) pool not clean. Otherwise the property was spacious & the location was walking distance to beach & all shops. Suggestion for the owners is to install flywire/security doors both front & back so that the doors can be left open for a breeze without inviting bugs in.

Reviewer Comments:
The location of this unit is fantastic - a quick walk to shops, cafes, beach and playground, but just far enough away that it feels very quiet which was great. The kids as part of our group enjoyed the playground and pool - abs from this unit and the one above we were able to supervise very easily. We enjoyed the balconies and indoor/outdoor living. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the property overall. There were stains on the couch cushions, dust on many surfaces, hair on the nightstands and hand prints on high touch areas which made us feel as though it was not thoroughly cleaned. The dishwashing brush was also black with grease so we used the dishwasher for everything. It is in general a bit dated. A couple of other things to note about this unit: the cars for both unit 2 and 3 are parked directly outside, so it does not have much privacy. There is also no soundproofing between this unit and the one above. Every footstep can be heard. This is ok if you are staying with friends but wouldn’t recommend it if you were staying alone.

Unfortunately we left 2 days early as there was mice in the apartment. It was terrible and will not be recommend this place to anyone. With 2 children under 4 yrs old this should not happen.
