Featuring a secluded garden setting, Genesta House offers boutique accommodation in a restored 100-year-old home and includes free WiFi. It is a 5-minute walk from Cowes Beach and various local dining options.

The host Simmone was extremely friendly and helpful. We ate at the restaurant she recommended (Bani) and it was good. She made us feel welcome. She also prepares welcome cookies, red wine, fruits and breakfast was simple but nice. These may seem "little" things but are differentiators compared to any others which don't go the extra mile.

Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a patio, The Island's Treasure is located in Cowes. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is set 500 metres from Cowes Beach.

The holiday home features 3 bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with an oven and a microwave, a washing machine and 3 bathrooms with a hair dryer. A flat-screen TV and DVD player are provided.

The house is very spacious with heaps of space for relaxing both inside and out. Main bedroom is upstairs with the others down, for a little separation from the 6yr old who followed us. 10min walk to the boat ramp, pulling a kayak and 6yr old. 5min if just you. 2min drive to the main strip of Cowes, so close enough but far enough to not hear anything at night. Definitely walking distance after a few pints if that’s your jam.

What a beautiful house! Spacious 3 bedroom / 4 bed / 2 bath property in a quiet area close to everything really only a few minutes drive to the beach, wildlife park, shops, restaurants etc. the whole family commented on how beautiful the area and accommodation was :) We were lucky enough to spot a Blue tongue lizard and a possum in the garden as well as some young huntsman spiders (not a fan of the spiders myself but always great to see the native wildlife). The property is dog friendly, we brought along our little sausage dog who LOVED exploring the garden at every opportunity. I would say to bring bug repellent with you for your stay (we couldn’t find any already there) as there is a lot of mosquitoes around especially if you’re sitting in the garden. Overall a fantastic stay :) we would definitely visit again and would recommended to friends.
