Clean, well appointed, kitchen well stocked with utensils, cutlery, crockery and cooking pots/pans. The added bonus is that it is right across the road from Cowes Beach and a quick stroll to the shops. Couldn’t recommend the experience highly enough. A great space for a great holiday. ##### Claire T. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Donna K. Jan 27, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Overall a good stay Can't beat the location of this property, and well set up apartment. Cleanliness could be improved (items left behind from previous occupants), some minor maintenance needed, and unfortunately AC was not working when we stayed. I anticipate these things should be an easy fix, and if rectified then great place to stay. ##### Donna K. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynette T.

Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela N. Mar 14, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great for a getaway A very nice place to stay. The apartment had ocean views and situated at a quiet end of The Esplanade, but still a short walk to the main strip and also cafes and restaurants. Well presented and very clean, and the beds were quite comfortable. Pick up and dropoff of the keys out of hours was simple. Great stay for a family, couple or group. ##### Angela N.
