Excellent location a short walk form beaches, shops, cafe's and markets if you are there on the week
Great stay in this modern house. I loved being able to walk everywhere and we only needed the car to get to the further afield attactions. Cowes is such an attractive base and I loved being able to browse through the boutiques and shops, grab an icrecream and sit on the beach and relax.

Excellent location - just a walk from all cafes and the beach. The house is very spacious and offers space even for a large group. Well equipped and comfortable. While the place have 3 separate TVs - lack of wifi means that the only programs you can watch are regular TV without access to Netflix etc.

Our recent stay at Genesta street was lovely, I thought initially that being 2 properties on the one block this house would be small and uncomfortable. It was the opposite, plenty of space and many bedrooms for larger families , lots of natural light, air conditioning, clean linen and the location is absolutely perfect! I wish it was my own house, will 100% be rebooking. Thankyou for an effortless stay, from booking, checking in and arriving. Didn’t want to leave.
