Feb 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### You’ll love it! We had such a wonderful stay in this gorgeous house. It had everything we needed and more. Everything was spotlessly clean and comfortable, the outdoor area was perfect for a BBQ, and the outdoor shower was brilliant after being at the beach. The master bedroom is massive and the other two bedrooms are a great size too. Each room having its own split system was a luxury! It’s a 5min walk to the beach, 10min walk to the main street in Cowes and has a Coles right on the corner for convenience. I can be fussy when choosing a house to stay at, but was excited to find this online and it lived up to expectations. The owner was in frequent contact, and was very easy and pleasant to deal with. We really want to stay here again - I’m already mentally planning our next trip. I guarantee you’ll enjoy your stay here! ##### Louise C.
