About the home
“Koala Beach House” is a delightful single-storey family home in Cowes just a short walk from the beach and comfortable drive to the supermarkets, restaurants & cafés of Cowes. Some of the many features of this lovely home are detailed below:

The central hallway provides access to Bedroom 1, which features a WIR and ensuite (with toilet & shower), a fully equipped Laundry (with washing machine & clothes dryer) and direct access to the Garage, before opening into the large open plan Kitchen (with WIP)/Dining/Living Room (with 55" smart TV, DVD player and a selection of movies) that flows out to the rear Alfresco. A side hallway leads to Bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 (each with BIR), a Family Room (with 42" smart TV), a Bathroom (with shower & bath) plus a separate Toilet.
Outdoor Areas
The fully covered rear Alfresco (with gas BBQ and seating for up to 12 people) overlooks the fully enclosed rear yard, which is perfect for children. There is a also firepit area with seating (no wood provided). The Double Garage (with table tennis table) has internal access into the home as well as direct access to the rear yard. There is space to park 2 cars in the Garage, and another 1-2 vehicles (cars and/or a boat) in the driveway.
Please note: There are security cameras on the outside of the building facing external areas only.

Linen
It is common in the region for some linen to be provided for bookings, and some linen to be available as an optional extra. By default, a booking at this home does not include optional linen (top & bottom sheets, bath towels and pillowcases).

If you would like the optional linen included in your booking, please let us know, including which beds you would like it provided for. The additional cost would be a one-off charge of $30 per bed (some sites add a service fee to these costs) - and we prefer 7 days' notice prior to your arrival to get that arranged.
