The house was spacious, clean with great amenities. The location was perfect for us not too far from Cowes Main Street but also great accessible walks to the beaches with the dog. The backyard was secure and prefect for our dog. We all enjoyed our stay.

We had a good stay overall. However the property was very dusty.All the ‘cutting knives’ are blunt.We also didn’t receive information about when bins should be put out, nor was it on the fridge as the described in the check in letter. So we missed it.

Reviewer Comments:
The size of the home was perfect for our family.However, as business owner of EHS Cleaning Services, we found the home really requires a spring clean. The home has a build up of dust and cobwebs. Additionally, we brought our own linen, yet weren't advised we needed to supply our own towels. There were not enough for our family and we ended up having to purchase some of our own to accommodate. The home was equipped well with plates, cutlery etc and the yard was fenced off for the dogs which was great and gave us peace of mind when we stepped out for meals.

I was very happy with the house and all it offered. The only issue was location. Not knowing the area well I didn't know how far it was from the main strip.

Overall we had a fantastic time and I would definitely go back. One small thing is that there is only air conditioning in the lounge room so it can get hot.Wifi is almost non existant and hardly works.
