A very nice and relaxing getaway was made even better with how well organised, clean, new and spacious the house was. From the views at the top deck, to games on the pool table, air hockey or even table tennis it was just incredible. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to getaway for a nice and relaxing holiday.
A great space weekend away to catch up with friends and was very comfortable for my dog. Close to the beach where we went most of the time and spent nights sharing dinner and playing board games.

Thank you so much for your review we would love to see you back again.
Excellent family friendly accommodation that is within walking distance to the beach and shops. House is very clean and tidy. We would definitely choose to stay there again for our next family holiday on the Island.
Great place to stay with a group of people. Plenty of room, lots of cutlery and utensils and other bits of pieces that you need. It was lovely sitting on the decking over evening. Great location, walking distance to beach and town centre.
Thankyou for the lovely stay, we had an incredible relaxing girls weekend. The house was great for a large group with the heating being an added bonus with the colder weather. Definitely would recommend

Hi Alyse, glad to hear you all had a great girls weekend away, we hope to see you back soon
The property has all the attributes needed for a family group. We had three children 6,4 and 3. The games room was a winner, particularly air hockey! Kitchen and living spaces work well.
We had a lovely time at Goondiwindi.
Kitchen was well stocked with any cookware, crockery, utensils you would need. We particularly liked that they had plastic cups and plates for kids.
It was lovely to sit out on the deck and enjoy the Seabreeze and night.
Excellent air conditioning kept us cool and comfortable for our stay.

HI thank you for your lovely review hope to see you again.
Comfortable relaxed home. Great kitchen. Relaxing balcony with plenty of seating. Had difficulty getting a response to queries from the host via the Stayz chat. However, once I searched for and called the managing real estate agent they were very pleasant and helpful

HI James thank you for your review, we are sorry you had trouble with Stayz. Happy we could help. kind regards Robyn
This would have to be one of the best houses we've stayed at in Cowes
Been coming here for 22 years in a row with my family and this house deserves 5 stars.
Clean, decorated beautiful, comfortable bedrooms, ample kitchen facilities, & roomy for 3 large families.
Can not fault it. Will defiantly be staying again.
Thank you! 🙂
It was simply the best!There were 13 of us & there was plenty of room to eat, lounge around, play games etc.Modern house inside although it looks a bit dated from the outside.So well equipt with lots of kitchen stuff, big bedrooms, fantastic deck with loads of seating & 5 minute walk to the shops.It was a surprise 70th so all the family were hiding in the lounge when we arrived - best birthday ever he said.10 stars out of 5 from me.Everyone loved it
We were a group of 5 girls who spent 3 lovely nights at this wonderful house. The cleanliness was amazing. It was spotless. The host provided everything you need to have a great time. Games, fantastic Bluetooth speaker, and the reversible air hockey/pool table was heaps of fun. The beds were all Nice and comfy and the backyard/frontyard was perfect for the greyhound that came with us. She spent a lot of time on the big balcony upstairs as it rained a bit.
Highly recommend!!!!!!

Hello thank you so much we are very happy that you enjoyed your stay at the property. kind regards Alex Scott and Staff
The house was well decked out with everything you can imagine. Plenty of crockery and cutlery and even an air fryer and coffee machine. Beautifully decorated and plenty of space for 3 families.
Great property close to everything. Being multi level, it gave good separation for everyone in our group. The property was clean and beautifully presented. Would recommend it to anyone travelling with family or friends 😊👍🏻

Weekend at Cowes
We rented this house as we needed something close to town for a function we were attending.
The location and proximity is amazing and cannot be faulted.
We were however extremely disappointed by the cleanliness of the property. It really does need a thorough clean.
Make sure to also BYO a doona cover.

HI Melinda thank you for your feedback we appreciate this would you please contact me at our office so we can discuss this further and provide feedback to our cleaners. I look forward to hearing from you kind regards Alex Scott
Good location in a quiet street , There are issues with cleaning being done prior of guests arrival.
Couches not vacuumed special under removal type cushions , dust on top of ceiling fans.
Two light globes and one side bedroom table lamp not working.
Needs new paint on walls in staircase area.
It's comfortable overall but needs bit of TLC or inspections prior of new gests mowing in.
