Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: On arrival there were some areas not clean and missing quite a few household items you would expect to be supplied in a house of this size. We brought this to the attention of the agent who assured us that the cleaning team and house owner would be notified of our complaints.Otherwise the location and layout of the house made for an enjoyable family holiday.

An enjoyable stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Thank you for the way in which the inside of the property is presented ; quite spacious and clean. The kitchen and appliances are very good as are the bathrooms (3) and laundry. The BBQ worked OK but needs a thorough clean and it would be helpful to have an outdoor table/chairs on the deck.(These are intended as constructive comments)

No fans or aircon, no coffee making equipment

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 4 bedrooms are upstairs, and if it’s a warm day it gets very hot as there are no fans or aircon in the house. If you’re a coffee lover you should know that the kitchen has no coffee plunger or stove top espresso maker. Most holiday rentals should at least have one of these items for making coffee.The house itself was nice and spacious, clean and the beds were comfortable.

Plain but needs some maintenance

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is great Having 3 bathrooms and 5 bedrooms is ideal and overall had a lovely time. But the house needs some work and looks a little tired.We had to return to the Real Estate office as they did not provide the right keys.The upstairs AC not workingThe upstairs lights kept fusing (wasted at least 3 hours trying to address - eventually required electrician) who apparently has been to this property multiple times for same issue)smoke detector required replacement as the one present was not connected.Some Windows needed attention. Many Vents in floor and ceiling were blocked.The fridge continuously beeped after opening. The knives in kitchen were very blunt.With this price you need consider providing linen.Having to thoroughly clean the house on leaving makes the cleaning fee almost obsolete.Need to also consider having WiFi available if you are charging such rates.

From the word ago the agents were so friendly and helpful and really gave it a personal touch.The house was as described and was a fabulous size for our of 5 family. It could have easily/ very comfortably have accommodated 2 families.The floor boards under the dining table are a little worse for wear but that didn't bother us as then we we weren't feeling like we needed to tip toe around!A very functional layout and perfect location to walk to the main street only 5 minutes!

Easter stay at 29 Church St Cowes

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall we had a good time at 29 Church St Cowes.After the initial hiccup of no keys to get in(which was resolved quickly) and the bins not having been emptied. It's a really good place for a few families and the closeness of the shops and beach are a real bonus.

Great location

Overall, our family enjoyed our stay. The property is in a great location with lots of room for 2 families and was very clean. The furniture was very disappointing. Broken couches, boken dining chairs and very old beds. The ensuite shower upstairs is less than a trickle if the downstairs shower is being used. The aircon works great downstairs but not at all upstairs, which is where the bedrooms are. Very much a 'no frills' stay.

Island Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: On the whole we enjoyed our rental experience. Great location, spacious house with generously sized bedrooms. The Kitchen was big and well stocked with cutlery. Having 3 toilets and showers was appreciated! Only a few gripes.. Water pressure, in our ensuite shower at least, was very low ( not sure if thats just an island issue ) The cooking elements did not burn high enough apparently, so had to have on high all the time. The living room TV could do with an upsize.. very small by today’s standards... though we told our kids “we’re not here to watch TV” It still would be nice to have a decent size TV to come home to and watch a movie with the family. But our time in the house was overall a positive experience.
