Great for a visit to the GP Circuit
Great location. The main street of Cowes is on the doorstep and it is a 10 minute drive to the track. Single garage was a nice bonus as was additional private parking. Accommodation would suit a family, or in our case three adults. Will book again next visit.

About the host

Host profile image
Happy and easy going, wanting to just enjoy life by the beach.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property to be able to get away for the weekends and thought to share it with others, that also want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The process to find the right property was 4 years and why his property? Because it is close and walking distance to the beach, approximately 100 metres and to the city centre, approximately 150 metres.

After a long day at the beach, it is good to walk to the house, rest, clean up and head out for the evening. Getting into a car, loading and unloading, getting it dirty with sand is the last thing you want to do after a day in the sun. Also, no issue if you drink, as you park the car and forget it and walk everywhere.

What makes this property unique

House that has everything for a get away without the price of a hotel.
