Great stat in a lovely house

This is a great house with plenty of space, outdoor deck, garden and ocean views. It's a short drive to beautiful Cowes beach and shops. The beds were extremely comfortable and was well set up with everything we needed. We didn't have pets with us but it would have been great for our dogs had they been with us. Highly recommend.

Good beach holiday

The house was in a nice new area and it was easy to access the beach via walking and by car. The local shops, supermarkets and restaurants were also a convenient walk away. The house was tidy and clean, with a good layout for a family with pets. The owner has provided people staying with some really good guides for walking tracks, places to eat, and information about the island for non-locals. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely trip

The property was clean and very spacious. We loved that the family room and kitchen was upstairs and we could enjoy the views to the beach. Will definitely look out for the property for future family stays. The only thing we would suggest is a bigger fridge as we couldn’t fit everything for the three families that stayed. Thanks Kristina for letting us stay at your lovely property.

Family Getaway

We were a family of 8 adults and 2 infants. Kristina accommodated us with everything from a Porto-o cot to a highchair, we contacted her late one evening as we needed something, and it was at our door step the next morning. Dealing with her from the moment we booked the accommodation till we left was an absolute pleasure and she was very accommodating. The property I will rate 5 star and would highly recommend it to anyone. Will definitely book it again. It's just a short stroll to the beach and the main shopping center.
