Cleanliness was far better than the last place I stayed in that was "cleaned" by Doug. Primarily the outside areas. Found driveway rather tight for large vehicle but there was ample parking nearby. Enjoyed and made use of access to beach - much appreciated by those stuck living inland.

Perfect family holiday location

What a lovely, spacious house, perfect for our family of 6. Very clean, well laid out and heaps of little extras that made our stay extra special. Secluded, a short walk to the beach with lots of wildlife to look out for on the relaxed outdoor area. Debbie was great to deal with, prompt communication and simple onsite access. Thanks, we will be back :)

Hideaway By the Sea

The name of the property says it all. A fantastic property close to the beach and in a 'secluded' part of the street. A drive's distance to Cowes, but close to bus stops and the MotoGP shuttle Bus stop. Fantastic property with great and thoughtful facilities.

Lovely spot with lots of chirpy morning birds 😊

Thanks Debbie, was a lovely house with everything we needed. As a birdo, was great hearing so many different birds in the morning. Definitely plenty of space for a larger group if anyone needed it. Thanks heaps 😊😊
