About the home

“The Seaside Haven” is a delightful double-storey family home in Cowes just metres from the Cowes Beach and Anderson Boat Ramp, and short drive to the supermarkets, restaurants & cafés of Cowes. Some of the many features of this lovely home are detailed below:

Downstairs, the central hallway provides access to Bedrooms 2, 3 & 4 (each with BIR, Bedroom 2 & 3 with smart TV's - no FTA channels), a Bathroom (with shower over a bath & toilet) and a fully equipped European Laundry (with washing machine and clothes dryer). Upstairs is the open plan Kitchen/Dining Living Room (with smart TV with FTA channels & portable soundbar) that flows out to the first floor Deck, and an adjoining second Living Room/Landing at the top of the stairs with a desk & chair. A short hallway leads to the second Bathroom (with shower & toilet) and Bedroom 1.

Outdoor Areas

The large semi-covered first floor Deck (with a gas Weber BBQ, Lounge area for 6 people & table/chairs for 6 people) also has 2 x awnings that can be extended to provide more cover. It wraps around the front and side of the home, overlooking the fully enclosed rear yard, which is perfect for children and small pets. The Garage is not available to guests, but there is space to park 1 vehicle (car &/or a boat - 10m x 2.3m) in the driveway, with additional parking available on the street.

Please note there are security cameras outside the home. They do not view any private areas in the home and are currently not functioning.

It is common in the region for some linen to be provided for bookings, and some linen to be available as an optional extra.

What is included are doonas (quilts) with covers, pillows without covers, tea towels, hand towels and bathmats. If you would like the optional linen included in your booking, please let us know, including which beds you would like it provided for.
