Very happy with our stay. Pago and her team were very helpful through the check in process. Property was as advertised, in great condition and perfect location. The whole family was really happy. Will definitely be rebooking on our future trips.
Excellent location a short walk form beaches, shops, cafe's and markets if you are there on the week
Great stay in this modern house. I loved being able to walk everywhere and we only needed the car to get to the further afield attactions. Cowes is such an attractive base and I loved being able to browse through the boutiques and shops, grab an icrecream and sit on the beach and relax.

We absolutely loved our week long stay at this property. We want to stay longer next time. The place is perfect for us. We really loved the outdoor areas & the outdoor shower was great with the kids. The location is amazing - walking distance to everything we needed - beach, ice cream shop, supermarkets, bakery, coffee & restaurants. Highly recommend this lovely place!

Our rental experience was outstanding....start to finish. Once we had booked the house, the communication from our hosts was straight forward. They answered any questions we had promptly. The moment we walked in the house we were impressed. A welcome basket with treats was a great touch, but the fact they had put milk and water in the fridge, that was service over and above. The whole experience was how we want on a relaxing, extended long weekend. We will be back.
The property absolutely exceeded our expectations. Very clean and comfortable and plenty of space and the location could not of been better. Perfect for my 87 year old dad to walk and get his morning paper. Will definitely be back

Excellent location - just a walk from all cafes and the beach. The house is very spacious and offers space even for a large group. Well equipped and comfortable. While the place have 3 separate TVs - lack of wifi means that the only programs you can watch are regular TV without access to Netflix etc.
