About the host

Hosted by Sharon Matthews

Host profile image
We bought this house as a holiday rental in November 2012 and it's been booking consistently (almost every weekend of the year) ever since! I believe that offering early check ins and late check outs and being available for questions/issues anytime day and night and answering booking requests as promptly as I can has been a huge reason why our guests keep coming back and staying in our house year after year! Oh and we allow pets both outside and inside our house - I believe that guests who want to take their pets with them on holiday, love them (like I love our little dog!) and are also very respectful - not letting them sleep on the beds and picking up their droppings too! And what furry family member wouldn't want to come along and enjoy our house, but even better, running along the beach every day!

Why they chose this property

Cowes is a fabulous place to enjoy with so much on offer not the least of which is the world-renowned Penguin Parade! It's got beautiful, clean beaches and so many bars, restaurants and cafes now, there's something for everyone. I think I start to relax as soon as I go over the bridge in San Remo and start to really smell that fresh beach air. Cowes Retreat is a bright, open, airy house! We've got modern furniture that we've only just (2020) just updated. There is a tv in two of the bedrooms too.

What makes this property unique

Once you get to Cowes Retreat, you can park your car and walk everywhere! Best location ever - lovely quiet street, but walking distance to the beach and Main Street, Cowes
