About the host

Hosted by Denise Ogilvie

Sam and Dee designed and built this houseboat in 2019/2020 and it arrived in Bembridge Harbour in July 2020. Its almost identical twin sister, Eleuthera sits next door and is also available to rent. Great for group getaways!

Why they chose this property

Its unique position on the water allows you to enjoy the ever-changing harbour scene. Waterbirds flock to the central harbour area as the tide heads out.

What makes this property unique

Islay's location is perfect for scenic walks in the area, whether a hike up to Culver down or just a stroll across the Duver to the sandy beaches of Priory bay. A very special place from which to explore the Isle of Wight.
