Great Getaway Escape

From the moment we booked, Jeff was very responsive to our queries, was very accommodating, and very informative on details for check in. When we arrived it was an easy process to gain access and we all were delighted how beautiful and clean the property was. Walking distance to shops. They even though about having essential supplies like fresh milk, cereal for us. It has been a pleasure and a wonderful getaway escape for us all. Thank you Jeff for your hospitality and making our time away there a wonderful one. Highly recommend 10/10 for Service & Experience.

We loved this charming property. It was perfect for our group of six people and two infants. It had everything we needed including some great toys for the children to play with. Easy access to Cowes and the beach. We enjoyed using the barbeque on the back verandah.

An amazing property that catered for all our family needs.

An amazing property, walking distance to Centre of Cowes, and yet quite and peaceful neighbourhood. Great property for the family with plenty of options for sleeping arrangements for those fussy kids, and a very comfortable Kings size bed for the adults. Highly recommend staying at Jeff's property.

Comfort & Ease

Jeff has ensured absolutely everything you could need is available at this property. His communication was excellent and very helpful. The property took us on a trip down memory lane with heaps of old DVDs which was great for a rain day. Plenty to do and see. Our highlight was the rock pools at the cape woolami surf beach down the stairs and turn left walk about 5 mins and find a hidden paradise! Thanks Jeff

Great stay, great hosts

Clean, spacious and cosy beach house. We stayed here for a winter weekend getaway with some friends. The fireplace was beautiful and warm, extra linen and bedding with small heaters in each bedroom for colder nights. Ample space for large groups and big outdoor areas. The kitchen had everything we needed and the whole was safe and secure in a quiet street walking distance to the main strip. Would definitely recommend and Jeff is a great host with fast replies and communication
