- Kelly (10/5): - Can’t wait to come back thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home
- Josh (8/5): - House was in a great location
Easy walking distance to town.
300m to the beach
House is a good layout
Pool table was a bonus.
Definitely will be back Front gate closing mechanism could do with adjustment.
A stick vac would be great to tidy up
A piece of timber or mesh across front of verandah to stop balls going under would be great.
- Ayrton (10/5): Awesome house big yard and driveway to fit the race car trailer - The place was excellent and perfect for our big family
Ben and heather were fantastic and very helpful Nothing it was amazing
- Tony (10/5): -
- Laidlaw (8/5): - House location was very easy and central to Cowes. Amenities were great and overall a great house. We enjoyed the space overall and found the house ample size with 9 adults. Could have had an extra chair in the lounge, but we managed. Unfortunately, found the main front gate really difficult to continually lock with soft gravel ground , as the latch was broken up the top. This made coming and going really difficult and not easy. As we had a dog we wanted to keep off the main road. The gate was necessary. The pool cues were terrible and tips loose which affected the enjoyment of the game. We played on. These two issues were minor but would have overall given this property a 10 for me.
Had a lovely long weekend with my family. For a family of nine adults and a dog, the kuse was great. Thankyou The front gate was difficult to lock and un lock coming and going.
Pool cues all loose tips so not great.
- Luan (10/5): - Excellent communication. Thoughtful presentation of property including supply of extra items making the house have a really homely feeling.
- KIN NAM (10/5): -
- Gianluca (1/5): Pessima esperienza - Pessima pulizia, a tratti disgustosa. Letti non cambiati, trovati capelli e sporcizia ovunque … segnalerò a Booking
- Andrea (10/5): We had a terrific long weekend with the grandkids and kids. - Great size for our family. Perfect for our doggies. Enough outside cover in case of rain. Easy walk to beach. All the facilities are up to date and clean.
- Zhang (10/5): Exceptional - Five-star experience, comfortable and warm, the host is always there to help I hope to install a light on the charcoal grill to facilitate grilling at night
- Mirza (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect location amazing.
- Jared (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bradford (9/5): A very comfortable home from which a large group can base their stay on Penguin Island. - The house was very well appointed with large rooms, very comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. I only regret being unable to stay longer to take advantage of the amenities. Nearby streetlights shine into the bedrooms requiring blinds to be fully down to block the light. Not much can be done about this apart from hoping the local coucil with better direct the light to where it is actually needed and wanted.
- Sarah (8/5): A great house, wonderful for a large family group like ours. Loved that pool table! - The location was fine, about a 15 minute walk from the town. Enjoyed my morning walks around the area Screens on all the windows would have been good.
- Andrea (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bernadette (9/5): This was a very stylish, spacious place to stay. It was very close to the beach for morning walks and several cafes are - Clean, spacious and well equipped with pool table, bbq, lawn area for cricket playing, big dining tables inside and outside, lots of cooking equipment and pod coffee. A close able gate ( great for young children). A clothesline would be a great addition and more towel rails, given the number of people it accommodates.
- 김 (10/5): Exceptional - It was a home that felt both responsive and thoughtfully designed with attention to detail.
And having a pool table made it even more enjoyable. The sink in the first-floor shower room seems to be leaking. As a result, water often pools near the bathroom door, so it needs to be fixed.
- Roest (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tan (9/5): Superb -
- Wai (9/5): Amazing house, excellent location and great host - Not enough bathrooms for a large group. The ground floor bathroom floor gets wet from the shower.
