Melanie, Thanks for your review, it is very pleasing that you all had a great time
A lovely clean, spacious property with nice amenities, lots of parking space and a big back yard and balcony. Perfect for our needs!
George was friendly and responsive making it a very easy process to book and check in.
Thank you for having us.
House is a 5 minute drive to Cowes town centre, very modern and clean, check in was easy and George was kind enough to let me charge my EV in the garage using the standard 10amp power socket, which got me through the weekend and back home again.
The only issue during our stay was the doors were abit squeeky considering we have a sleeping baby.
Overall a great place to stay.
We found George’s house very comfortable for 4 guys down for MotoGP.
The amenities were great and even Netflix on the tv. Hard to find any faults at all.
Cheers
Leigh
The house is lovely with the bonus of 2 living areas and easily accommodated our group of 10.
George was a very good communicator so we didn’t really need to ask him any follow up questions. As per my review, the house easily accommodated our group of 10. It has 4 bedrooms with a fold out couch bed in one of the living areas.

Tina, thanks for your feedback and I am very pleased that you enjoyed your stay in my house.
We enjoyed our stay very much and particularly loved the wide open spaces, beautiful views and quiet neighbourhood. The house is only 1.5 km walk to the beach (dogs allowed) and a very short drive to town. Great location.
The kitchen had a wonderful range of additional condiments which you don’t often see.
The downstairs rumpus room/lounge was very beneficial for the teenagers and allowed the adults to do their own thing upstairs. My dog was also very much at home and we all enjoyed the beach walks in the morning or at sunset.
The upstairs balcony with ocean views was my favourite each morning as I did my strength exercises.
George was a very gracious host, extremely responsive, friendly and helpful during our stay. The only small complaint I would have would be to warn future guests that 6 foot tall teenagers will not be comfortable in the bunkbeds offered. They are far more suited to younger children.
Overall however I would highly recommend this house for others.

Had the best time making family-holiday memories in George’s home. The property was beautiful and clean, excellent communication & easy check-in. The home also had an abundance of extras that provided comfort & fun for the whole family! Highly recommend & can’t wait to rebook another visit ☺️
We really enjoyed our 2 day stay on the island. This house is amazing, it has everything and felt like home. Very spacious and has a great layout. The beds are comfortable and has nice kitchen and bathrooms. Loved having my morning coffee on the balcony with stunning views, Very quiet neighbourhood. George the owner is fantastic, he provided detailed information with easy check-in.
I highly recommend this property, we can’t wait to come back!
Regards,
Sharon & Family.
We had a great stay in the property with two families and our dogs. A big back yard and two living areas meant every one could be together, yet have their own space. Thanks
This home was very relaxing and delivered a high level of accommodation for our entire family and dogs. The home is in impeccable condition and was extremely clean upon entry. Plenty of space and areas to relax. Perfect backyard for a couple of dogs with views of the distant ocean. Small drive into Cowes was easy. George the owner was fantastic to deal with and a great communicator. Will definitely come back and I recommend anyone to rent this property. Regards Mike
