Nice, clean home with plenty of space and a wrap‑around garden for the dog to explore. It’s perfectly located near the centre of Cowes. The ping‑pong table was a fun touch for some after‑dinner entertainment, along with the great selection of games and puzzles. The beach accessories were also super handy for our trips to the water.

Great property!
This is our second stay here and it's a great property in a top spot for beach access near the boat ramp. The house has nearly everything you could need for your stay and we were very impressed with the accommodations for pets. Thanks again!

Highly recommend - A relaxing stay
This property was so well equipped with everything we needed. It felt like home , with added extras both in the kitchen , lounge and bathrooms that other accommodation does not provide. Such a short walk to the beach and the centre of town. Would recommend to others . Quiet location and all the comforts of home with the added bonus of being able to take our dog . Thankyou for such wonderful service . Enjoyed by all the family .

What you want and more!
Within 10 minutes of our arrival, our 7-yr-old son said “Awesome - this feels like home”. And I couldn’t have put it better myself…
A super location being nice and quiet, a short walk to the beach and boat ramp, and very short drive to the Main Street of Cowes.
Games galore, coffee machine, pantry staples - and the deck chairs and beach trolley were a godsend.
Our pug dog loved the outdoors (and garage). We had epic table tennis tournaments. Comfy beds and welcomed aircon during a very hot week.
We utilised the bbq quite a lot for evening meals.
Perfect for our family of 3 and dog, but room for more if needed.
Thanks so much. We had a wonderful experience.
