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

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!

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 .

We enjoyed our stay, and appreciated the property being dog friendly, had a couple of minor issues , with lights not working and an unexplained 'water Hammer noise at night that kept waking us up.A bit of confusion with street numbering , I believe the listing decryption will be updated to reflect this.

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.
