Clean is sth different

First the positives. This house is centrally located. Shops, supermarket, Restaurants, beach... all in walking distance. Communication was really fast.But unfortunately i cannot ignore the negatives. 1. It was communicated on the website linen and towels provided. At the bottom it was added that there is a charge. I didn't read that far so partly my fault, but not great from the other side as well. 2. We arrived late afternoon and went into town first. Coming back we got the kids ready for bed. When we prepared our own bed we discovered a very very old and dirty bed sheet. It actually was quite disgusting. Too late to get a replacement so we had to take the clean one from the kids bed and slept all 4 in one bed. At least we got the money back for the linen/towels and someone came early next morning and arranged replacement. The owner communicated quick and fair here. Nevertheless a absolute no go in my option.3. The General cleanliness is not what we expect. The first impression was good. But with a baby we are obviously on the floor a bit and from here we saw loads of dust and dirt underneath the couch and cupboards. Inside the cupboards it didn't get better. Espescially where cutlery is. We cannot recommend this place

Great location

Wonderful location with a short walk into town or to the beach & playground. A family friendly unit with a table tennis table to entertain the kids in the garage. Check in was quick and easy and the host sent us information on what linen we needed to bring well in advance.Overall we had a wonderful stay, but the house has a very musty smell and could do with a good deep clean.

Location, location, location!

We loved the location of this holiday house! One street up was the main drag and down another street you were at the main beach. We loved being so close to everything!!! The house was perfect for us with a well-stocked kitchen, comfortable couch and eating area as well. We didn’t sit out in the back as the outdoor table was beside the air-con unit and we felt the area was a bit cramped. The only suggestion I have is a deep clean, wipe down walls and bathroom doors and give the house a really good vacuum. I had to vacuum behind the main bed as there was a huge amount of dust and also in the bunk bed room - hard to reach places but needs to be done. Easy check in and when I had an issue with the key safe the owner answered her phone and was able to help. Thanks for a great stay!

Check in was a disaster

When we arrived the key safe was simply an open shell. We were fortunate that a neighbour could point us to the tourist info place in the Library. A helpful lady contacted Stayz emergency number and via a helpful guy there we were able to speak directly to the owner ( prior to that we simply had a leave a mesage and I'll get back - but didnt) Owner contacted the cleaners , and said they would wait for us at the house BUT by the time we returned to the property the keysafe was intact with the key in it - but no sign of the cleaner, so we could access( finally and some 11/2 - 2 hours later) . Owner did eventually apologise saying she had spoken to the cleaner etc etc BUT we have never had a proper explanation of what happened and why we were subjected to the difficulties at check in which we still believe we are owed.

Perfect Location

We chose this place for it's location. We could walk to most of the eateries, supermarkets. The Unit was well placed, very clean, although the chairs in the courtyard could have been cleaned. A box of tissues would be a nice touch. Would recommend this to our friends.

Great family getaway

Nicely presented, clean and tidy. A short car trip to Cowes shops, restaurants, and beach front. About a 10min stroll up a gentle hill. Car spot is quite tight as others have mentioned. (We could get in and out ok but couldn’t fully open doors on both sides for our large family car.) Very comfortable couch and beds. Kids loved darts and table tennis table. Great central location and close (short drive) to major island attractions. (

Comfortable and close to everything!

Easy to find, great for walking into the main street of Cowes or along the beach. The unit was older in style but well maintained and had a beautifully renovated bathroom. As two retired couples, the double/single bed in one room wasn't ideal for getting up in the night but we all slept very well on the very comfortable beds. Being very close to a free charging station for the electric vehicle was an added benefit. the beds very comfortable and slept well.
