About the home

"Settlement Sands Cowes" is located close to the main street of Cowes and an easy walk to the beach. Some of the many features of this lovely home are detailed below:

Indoor Areas

The central open plan kitchen/living/dining room (with TV, DVD ) leads out to the great covered deck. Down some steps and you come to the three bedrooms (two with BIR) and the conveniently placed central bathroom (with shower over a bath) and separate toilet off the laundry.

Outdoor Areas

The large covered sunny north facing deck (with 6 burner gas BBQ & 8 seater table) extends the open plan living space seamlessly to the outside and has distant views of trees tops and the bay across to the peninsula. There is a purpose built carport (9m x 4m) perfect for parking a boat or caravan. In the large adjoining shed there is a fuzball table (and there is a second fridge available in the shed and freezer space for bait etc.) and the huge fully enclosed yard is perfect for children and pets alike.

Kitchen

The fully appointed kitchen is equipped with cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery, microwave, a Lavazza Mio coffee pod machine, toaster, kettle, sandwich press, etc. plus a double sink, fridge (plus a 2nd bait fridge in the shed), electric oven and cook top.

By default, a booking at this home does not include optional linen (top & bottom sheets, bath towels and pillowcases). What is included are doonas (quilts) with covers, pillows without covers, tea towels, hand towels and bathmats. 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.

Dissappointing stay experience

I was really excited about our stay, but unfortunately, the cleanliness of the space left much to be desired.Unhygenic is a word to best to describe the property. The bathroom had left dirty from previous guests hair and sticky surfaces and there was visible dust on several surfaces in the living area, kitchen & bedroom. The floors appeared to have been neglected, with crumbs and dirt in places around the kitchen & in the couches were old popcorn from previous stays . Cutlery was Dirty and unclean from previous guests.we had had to wipe down the counters and the kitchen area before using them.Bedroom curtains were covered in dust and appeared to never have been cleaned.The mattress protectors were old and stained , pillow had blood on it.Cobwebs and dust everywhereFood particules on kitchen tableStains on the wall , such a shame as the property had such potiential.The host was responsive when I reached out about the issues, but the response was poor and that january was a busy month was the excuse for the lack of basic cleanliness, it definitely impacted our experience & if your thinking of booking i would explore your options.

Great place!

Myself and teenagers loved the house, it suited us perfectly. Easy to walk into Cowes, and central to drive everywhere on the island. Very dog friendly!
