May 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Autumn weekend The house is clean and cosy and well appointed. It's also very well located, with the beach, bowling club and main street not far away. An enjoyable stay was had by us all. ##### Neil S. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sean S. Apr 1, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Affordable but old The location was great. The interior needs to be updated, especially the carpet. It was affordable, so if it is updated, the price will go up significantly. ##### Sean S. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Shannon A. Oct 3, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Very old but comfortable house. We enjoyed our stay at Cowes. We weren't at the house that often as we had a fishing boat and was on that most of the time. The worst thing was the neighbours cypress tree overhung the driveway so bad that my car and boat just fitted under and was covered in pine sap every day. Desperately needs cutting back. ##### Shannon A. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### David W. Mar 10, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Disappointed Awful place Very dusty & mouldy smell. It's like the place hadn't been opened for a long time. The listing should have outlined just how poor this place really was. From the torn screen that was difficult to open to the chat carpet & the worst bed ever, they should have paid us. That will teach me for leaving it so late booking a place. My stay was far from great. 2/10 Real estate staff were excellent.10/10 ##### David W. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neil S. May 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Annual Bowls Weekend We've been staying at this particular property for a few years now. We play in the local bowling clubs' annual tournament and the location is just a short walk to the club, as well as the centre of town, which is perfect for us. The house is old but comfortable with all the necessary amenities and it suits our needs perfectly. ##### Neil S. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Diana P. Apr 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Property as expected The property is old, but as expected as per the listing. A lot more included in the property than expected as the agents listing suggested bringing almost everything. Tea towels, bath mat, hand towels were supplied. The heating is pretty poor, ok if you are sitting in the lounge, the bedrooms were cold. BBQ was excellent. Overall the property was large, comfortable and clean. The owners food is in the freezer and there personal effects around, which felt strange. Was about a 10 min walk to Cowes centre. The DVD collection was excellent and the large screen TV an asset ##### Diana P. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jack P., Wantirna South, Victoria Jul 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### It's a cozy house We had a pleasant weekend stay. It's a neat and tidy house, and the lawn looked freshly mowed. Also a good location to the shops, plus there's plenty to see within walking distance. No complaints. ##### Jack P. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neil S. May 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Nice Place To Stay This was the second time I'd stayed at this particular property and it hadn't changed. It was still comfortable and clean, the amenities are good, the location is excellent, only a short walk to the beach and the bowling club and a comfortable walk into the town centre. The only issue I had was some interference on the TV at certain times. Overall I have enjoyed my stays at this house. ##### Neil S. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neil S. May 3, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 5 Church Street, Cowes. The house is a clean, tidy and comfortable older residence that is close to the beach, the bowling club and across the road from the local footy club. It's not spectacular but it is well appointed with a large TV and a huge DVD collection should the weather keep the guests inside. It's pet friendly with a fenced rear yard and a pet door along with food and water bowls which is very handy for those wishing to take their fur babies on holiday with them. Very reasonable rental rates make this ideal for a nice, comfortable stay in Cowes any time of the year. ##### Neil S. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela B. Jan 17, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Review Xmas and new year stay Good house, old and simple but worked well for us. Very secure back yard for small children. Excellent location to skate park, beach, bowling and town. Has two showers, excellent for when coming back from beach. Shower outside perfect for surfers too. Kitchen needs updating but works well. Maybe remove all the family photos and family’s personal food and bathroom items before others turn up, Other than that over all a good place to stay. ##### Angela B.

Best DVD collection we’ve seen to date! older property needs a little TLC. ##### Karen B. Stayed 15 nights in Dec 2019 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Glen Jan 5, 2015 #### Perfect We stayed at this place with two border collies and it was perfect, nice large back yard that is well fenced. The house was excellent and great for the two families we went with. My 3yo son had a huge choice of dvd's to watch and lots of room to play around. Bedrooms are good size and kitchen had everything you need without having to bring up all your plates etc. The location is great, 5 mins walk from the beach and shops with Coles at the end! Cannot wait to come back and stay again. Only thing is one key to the house makes life a little difficult if more than one family! All in all, just right! ##### Glen ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Shearwater Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Shearwater-Hotels-Shearwater-Resort.h11114220.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Aruba](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Aruba-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d9-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Dreams Cozumel Cape Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cozumel-Hotels-Dreams-Cozumel-Cape-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h72624010.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Calgary-Northeast](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h518424.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Thailand](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Thailand-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d178-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Tromsø](https://www.expedia.ca/Troms-Hotels.d3512.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Bonnie Doon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonnie-Doon-Hotels-Bonnie-Doon-Hotel.h20516057.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels.d178279.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Nashville](https://www.expedia.ca/Nashville-Hotels.d178291.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Spa Hotels in Bowen Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Bowen-Island-Hotels-Spa-Hotel.0-0-d6155860-tSpaHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [1000 Islands Harbor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Clayton-Hotels-1000-Islands-Harbor-Hotel.h7484927.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Blue-Horizon-Resort-Apartments.h2650727.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Port Renfrew](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Renfrew-Hotels.d601137.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Markham](https://www.expedia.ca/Markham-Hotels.d10353.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Paisley (GLA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/gla/toronto-to-glasgow) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lax/toronto-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/nrt/vancouver-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Lapu-Lapu (CEB) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ceb/ywg/cebu-to-winnipeg) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Singapore (SIN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/sin/vancouver-to-singapore) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to San Diego (SAN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/san/vancouver-to-san-diego) > > [Flights from Reno (RNO) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/rno/yvr/reno-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Newark (EWR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/ewr/ottawa-to-newark-liberty-intl-airport) ### Packages > [Highclere Castle](https://www.expedia.ca/Highclere-Castle-Newbury.d6083943.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Pollards Point](https://www.expedia.ca/Pollards-Point.dx553248635921964863) > > [Visit Anglemont](https://www.expedia.ca/Anglemont.dx6305828)
