Great location close to beach Very nice house set-up, beds, kitchen stuff, garage, plenty of room, etc. Could have been a bit cleaner, windows needed cleaning, missing a few things like sponges and scourers. Overall a very good stay, we'll come back.

Tidy Home
Tidy home, great location. Disappointing you need to go agent to get keys and drop off keys. Slow on email responses, had to call to confirm, no email only text on check out instructions which would not open correctly on phone, had to copy link into a computer to read. House great, management needs some work as compared to other multiple houses I've stayed in, way to hard, needs to be easier.

Lovely property close to everything you need. Unit is big with plenty of space for everyone. We’re a family of 5 and did not get in each other’s way at all. Great value for money. A few areas not super clean but considering the price, not a huge issue.
Wifi was a welcome addition.
A nice 3 bedroom unit close to the beach and a short walk to Cowes. The house was clean and the living area bigger than the photos. Missing air con in the bedrooms when renting in the summer but otherwise a really nice place to stay.
