  • Beautiful nautical touches remind you of your coastal location at every turn
  • Suntrap raised decking, which is perfect for soaking up the Isle of Wight rays
  • Off-street parking facilities and closeness to public transport makes exploring the Isle of Wight a breeze
  • A flat short walk will take you to the heart of Cowes town, renowned for its sailing heritage, the beach and the coastal path
Property code: OC-92719

A delightful cottage with a suntrap-raised deck, nestled in a leafy neighbourhood near the charming town of Cowes. This nautical abode is ideal for a family escape or reunion with friends plus a couple of waggy-tailed companions. Drink in the salty sea air as you glide across the Solent Strait aboard a cruise departing from Cowes harbour (500 metres), then soak in the last of the day's sun from the wooden deck.

This inviting bolthole is the epitome of airy coastal charm. Picture crisp neutral and sea blue hues, striped soft furnishings, and marine-inspired artwork. Towel down soggy paws and slip off sandy shoes by the door before venturing into the cosy living room. Flop down on the squishy corner sofa with a brew or blether over a bottle of wine. Snuggle in for some easy evening entertainment or set the mood with a crowd-pleasing playlist. Peruse the bookshelf for some light reading or assist in readying the dining table for the evening’s festivities. Keen chefs will be in their element cooking up a storm in the shaker kitchen while the leisure seekers perch at the glossy kitchen island with a tipple. On balmy summer days, throw open the French doors and let the breeze spill inside. Retire upstairs to discover three bedrooms, each with a distinct coastal theme. Choose from an adaptable super-king/twin and two airy doubles, one of which has a sleek en-suite. Outside, brew a fresh coffee then ascend the steps to the secluded raised deck and scoff a family breakfast at the outdoor table.

Embark on an early morning stroll along the Cowes esplanade (within 1 mile) then explore the historical sights of the Classic Boat Museum (within 500 metres). Explore Osborne House (2 miles) to discover the opulent former residence of Queen Victoria.

  • 3 bedrooms – 1 super-king-size zip-and-link (which can be made up as a twin if requested at the time of booking) and 2 doubles
  • 2 bathrooms – 1 with a shower over the bath, 1 en-suite with shower and WC newly refitted for 2026 and additional toilet on ground floor
  • Gas hob and electric oven, fridge/freezer with ice maker, microwave, dishwasher, DeLonghi coffee machine, washing machine and air fryer
  • Wholly enclosed garden with BBQ
  • Welcome pack provided
  • Smart TV and boardgames in lounge and 1 small Smart TV in the kitchen
  • Please be aware; as with many Cowes heritage properties some people may find the staircase to be steep. There is a secure banister rail for your convenience
  • Private off-street parking for 2 cars
  • Beach 1 mile, pub 150 metres, shops 300 metres and Red Jet terminal 600 metres
  • Easily reached by public transport, bus stops 2-5 min walk
  • Arrival: 16:00 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00

This is a great house. It is spacious, comfortable, and was extremely clean when we arrived. It was full of lovely touches, such as towels for the dog, or extra lights on the stairs. There was plenty of everything we needed. We'd really have to be looking for tiny faults to find anything at all. We've stayed in many places, and this was one of the Read morebest-equipped, and most thoughtfully-presented. The parking, although narrow, is invaluable. You could fit three smaller cars in the space. It is important to note that it is in a terraced street, and there is no green space within close walking distance, except for a tiny park at the top of the road. It's also a short walk to the 'Red Squirrel' Way. It's only seventy yards to a pub or a newsagent, and five minutes' walk to the town centre (10 minutes walk to Sainsbury's). You also cannot get to the beach or a sea view unless you walk through the town to the other end. It is also only 200 yards to the chain ferry. You'll need to know that if it is crossing to the other side when you get there, it can be twenty minutes before it is back ready for you. Overall, this is an excellent property, one of the easiest we have been in to rate as five out of five. . Hide
