8 / 10Excellent·May 2025
Property is in a great location close to parks, shops, beach, jetty and only 10 minutes to Cowes and other attractions. Perfect for large families or even groups of friends as has multiple sleeping areas with bungalow and large upstairs retreat.With a few upgrades needed to the property this would be perfect.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2025
It's been 24 hours since check-out, and I’m happy to say we’re sad to be back home. I had family visiting from New Zealand and wanted to treat them to something special, and this place was perfect. The location was so central to all the attractions and shops we wanted to visit, and everyone had their own space to relax. The size was ideal for our group.A big thank you to the team for being so accommodating and responsive. I will be rebooking this spot again.

The house is spacious and has a great outdoor area.Pet friendly with a secure outdoor space.Some parts of the house are a little dated but still great value for money.
6 / 10Average·Nov 2023
The location was great and house was spacious. However, for what we paid it was a bit disappointing. The photos online photos were deceptive. In terms of cleanliness, the carpets needed replacing and smelt terrible. There was rubbish and gummy bear lollies under the bed in the main bedroom on the bottom level. The BBQ was filthy, had not been cleaned from previous occupants and could not be used. There was an outside fridge which was also very unclean. The kitchen cupboards were dirty and even some of the bowls had not been cleaned properly.
Overall the place has potential, but is in need of a very good clean.
