Great location, very easy & comfortable place to stay

We really enjoyed our 3 night stay in the unit & so did our 2 dogs. A couple of blocks to the beach, fantastic walking beach to the East (dogs ok off-lead before 10am & after 6pm). Comfortable king sized bed & very clean overall. Good wi-fi and all conveniences you need. A lot of dog friendly places in Cowes to eat & drink made for a great long weekend.

Lovely spot, perfect for a getaway

Very clean and a great location. Bed was very comfortable (as someone with a bad back, this was a big highlight for me!) lots of space for cooking / relaxing. Not far from the beach, or the shops/ restaurants - but a very quiet street - which was nice. Thanks very much!

Great getaway

Great location. Short walk to beach and shops. Great unit with courtyard. We are a family of 4 and a fur baby. We had everything we needed and were very appreciative of the extra touches, such as toiletries, washing powder, plenty of towels etc. Communication was great and this was super easy.

Pet friendly and good location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay including our labradoodle. The house is very clean and tidy with garage for car. Our pup was allowed inside but also had a small secure outside area. It’s in a nice quiet street, with a great sports park across the road to give your dog an extra run. Walking distance to shops and beach. The host was very helpful with excellent communication .

Great unit close to everything

Well designed spacious unit with great backyard. Good for my little dogs. Very secure. Unit had everything I needed and was in a great location. Very comfy king sized bed. Great communication all the way along. Only down side was no doggy door into backyard and no recliner or ottoman to put your feet up when watching TV. Could do with a bit of a spring clean. Many skirtings very dirty as was area around toilet, heaps of dirt and old food wrapper under bed head. Rangehood dripping fat, needs a clean. Just needs a bit of TLC to bring it up to scratch, but otherwise a very nice place to stay

Dangerous furniture arrangement next to non-safety glass windows

There is a bed on wheels in the children’s room next to floor to ceiling windows of old non safety standard glass. We were lucky our child wasn’t severely injured by broken glass when the moving bed on wheels smashed into the window after bumping into it at night. If you have children playing in the room beware of danger due to poorly thought out furniture and non-safety glass that can cause major injuries. Owner charged for damage- doesn’t carry good insurance or think about safety. Old bottles of drink found under bed and coffee table-not well cleaned.

Close to beach and pet friendly

Lovely apartment in quiet neighbourhood and close to beach. We were 3 adults and a dog. There was room to spare. Communication with the owner was fantastic. Linens were supplied which made it easy to settle in and get the holiday started. Small secure backyard was perfect for our dog to enjoy the fresh air. Also felt comfortable leaving the dog alone for a few hours while we enjoyed the local sites. Kitchen contained a decent variety of utensils etc. Would highly recommend this apartment and location.
