General Description

This property has been set up to suit holiday rentals by two families together or a group of adults. It is located in a quiet street six minutes walk from the Red Rocks beach which is a sheltered Bay beach suitable for younger children. The house has two storeys and the upper level has large windows with some distant views of the Bay through the shoreline tree tops. It has a private garden with mature native trees and there is off street parking for two cars and further parking on two street frontages. The garden is fenced to contain toddlers and both the internal and external stairs have toddler gates at the top. Well behaved pets are welcome inside the house, and the gates can be arranged to let a dog have the run of the garden. Small dogs may however be able to escape under the fence gates into the street.

The property is 3km from central Cowes on a very quiet street, and there are pleasant walks along the fire track behind the beach and on the beach itself, with lots of bird activity in the vicinity. Evening walks are likely to encounter rabbits and sometimes an echidna or a wallaby. The nearest shop is a kiosk servicing a caravan park, which is about ten minutes walk from the house. It offers bread, milk, newspapers and other staples.
