Fabulous apartment

It is a wonderful apartment, and the manager Graham met us on arrival and explained everything, first class service. The apartment had everything you could want and the view was stunning. We spent many an hour just watching all the boats and ferries. An easy 10 minute walk into Cowes and a 1 minute walk to the ferry to East Cowes, a perfect location.

Perfect!!!!!

This property is the perfect place to stay, it has all that you need.Very nicely decorated and the main bedroom was very comfortable. Sitting and looking out the window at the boats coming and going was wonderful. The main high street is about a casual 5 min walk away with plenty of restaurants to choose from. We will be back!!!!!

Another wonderful stay

Rented this property in April this year, and it certainly did not disappointment again this time! The apartment is in a prime position for viewing daily life on the marina, watching the ferries and all manner of boats coming and going - you don't need a TV! A fantastic base for seeing all key towns/villages/tourist attractions on the island. The apartment is very, very clean and has everything you could need. A wonderful place, great host and wonderful caretaker. We will certainly be back in 2025!

Stunning - Just Stunning

Everything about this stay was just outstanding. From the guest check-in, being greeted by Graham and shown around the accommodation, to the absolutely outstanding views and fantastic location for travelling around the island, this home had it all. We could not have been happier, and our American friends were blown away by the location. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely Lovely

Great apartment that couldn’t be in a better location for access to ferry, shops and nearby restaurants (try West Coast in the high st. great food and friendly attentive staff). Overlooking marina and open sea there’s always plenty to catch your attention. We will certainly be looking forward to staying there again.

A spacious apartment in a great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cowes in this perfectly located apartment. Easy parking, a great view of the harbour, a spacious living area and close proximity to the town all contributed to the positive stay. We had not visited cowes before and were pleasantly surprised by the number of bars, restaurants and opportunities for local walks. Check in was easy with a friendly and informative welcome from Graham.

Fabulous property in a brilliant location

Making arrangements with the hosts and their Agent was great. Replies were prompt and accommodating of our plans. The property is exactly as the photos show, fabulous views , beautifully decorated , great little balcony for your morning cuppa and really clean. The location is ideal too only a 5/10 min walk into the centre of Cowes. We absolutely loved our stay and would love to return on day.

About the host

Host profile image
We have lived and worked in Cowes for over 32 years. We have travelled the world but still love Cowes despite living in the Caribbean for over 8 years.

Why they chose this property

We viewed many many properties prior to purchase of the apartment in 2015 looking for THE apartment - and finally we found No 47. Its fantastic location and views sold it straight away and we still love it. We hope you will as well.

What makes this property unique

Unique benefits - well its got to be its location and full panoramic windows looking over the marina, Solent and River Medina. Great location to view Cowes week yacht racing and the famous fireworks.

Also check out our 15% discount on Red Funnel ferry fares!!! Please ensure that you request a unique discount code prior to making ferry reservation!
