The Deck house has become our happy place, a home away from home. The location is perfect, short drive to Cowes, a hop, skip and jump to Smiths beach which is good for a surf and the view is spectacular. And to compliment all that is a fireplace and comfortable beds. I am planning for many more stays at this place. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT
