Ideal for our Cavoodle with fulling fenced back yard. Plenty of room for wheelchair use inside with just one step up to front door. Just a stones throw from the beach.

Quiet location close to beach and cafes

This home was perfect for our adult family of five and one dog to spread out and relax. Literally a 2 minute walk to the beach and 15 minutes walk into Cowes’s shops and cafes. The open plan layout and level access through the garage made it wheelchair accessible for our needs. Could do with a spring clean but we will definitely book again.

Jenny,s Nest

Comfortable. Needs a bit of a clean-cobwebs around ceiling, carpet had a lot of pet hair when i vacumed (black hair we had white dogs). Otherwise it was close to beach and shops, quiet location and the puppies loved the big yard. Would go again. Thanks. Judi

Not clean at all, especially mattresses

I didn't stayed at this property because I shocked when I saw the beds. All the mattresses were covered with stains of urine, so I immediately took pictures and called property manager she said I can leave and they will return the full amount to my account SO I leaved the house immediately.
