Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Mark Ryan
My wife and I and our 3 kids currently reside in Surrey Hills with weekend sport taking up most of our free time. We both work full time and like nothing better than coming down to the Island (when sport permits) to relax and walk along the beach, enjoy a glass of wine or have fish and chips on the beach. We love entertaining and having friends over and this house allows us to do both.
Why they chose this property
After renting houses on the Island over 3 or 4 years, we fell in love with the area as it has so much to do and has some of the most amazing beaches whether it's the placid front beach in Cowes or the surf beaches of Smith's Beach and Woolamai. We can walk to the beach in 5 mins or walk into town for a coffee in 10 mins. This is our home away from home where we will eventually retire and pass on to our kids and grand kids. It is a real family home set up for multiple families to enjoy together.
What makes this property unique
There is nothing like sitting on the back deck to enjoy the warm sun and look out over the garden. The street is very quite which allows kids to play outside without fear of traffic.
The house is split over 3 levels which separates the two sleep areas and the main kitchen and lounge area.
