    We had 2 weeks at this marvellous property. The house was spotless and had every amenity required. The location was ideal, just a short walk to the beach and a short drive into Cowes. Our host was very warm and welcoming. We’re definitely going back later in the year.

    We love this house. It is really well set up for a family of four and any extra children. It has a very relaxing front garden, it is private and is very well set up including lots of beach equipment. It is in a great location very near YCW beach and a short walk to Smiths Beach.

    We had a lovely stay at this property over Christmas. The house was well-equipped with beach gear to use and had nice outdoor seating areas to enjoy. Close to two beaches. Communication with the host was excellent. We had a great experience and would go again.

    4 of us spent a week at 61Marlin over the Easter/ school holiday break. Communication with our host was efficient and timely from the start. We were offered an early check in and a late departure- both much appreciated. The house itself was perfect- spotlessly clean, quality bed linen and towels provided along with a multitude of requirements to keep us going- washing powder, dishwasher tabs, toilet paper etc etc etc. Our arrival goodies were very welcome as we settled in with a tea or coffee (pods provided) with fresh milk. Front and back outdoor dining areas were utilized daily after our short walk to YCW or Smiths beach. All in all, a perfect stay. We’ll be back.

    We had a fantastic weekend here, so close to Smiths beach and YCW! The house is clean and comfortable and has everything that you need for a beach holiday. It was perfect for our two small families. Beds were super comfy! Gerard was a brilliant host, communicated well with us throughout the booking process and during our stay. We’re definitely keen to stay again!

    Great house clean, well-equipped, with excellent indoor and outdoor living spaces, and large laundry space. Bonus treats from host Gerard were welcome, as well as supply of basic kitchen and cleaning products. I love not having to take my own linen.
