Can't beat the views

You can't beat the views across the Solent that this house provides. The ever-changing tides, sailing boats, big cruisers, paddleboarders... What a place to relax! Cosy house for a family of four incl. two small kids + small dog. Easy to access the beach and then walk along the promenade (30 mins) to Lee on Solent for coffees, ice-creams and the fun fair. Parking wasn't an issue - we always got one on the street nearby - and neighbours were friendly. Great pub and coffee shop just down the road. Only disappointment was the lack of an information pack (owner was updating it), so we didn't know how to access the beach, where the washing machine was, where to take glass recycling, etc. I spent the first night driving to a laundrette not realising the washing machine was in a separate shed two doors down. Toilets don't flush well, which ideally needs explaining to guests; and we came across dirty pans and baking tray in the oven. All fairly minor concerns that are easily fixed. In the end you go to this place for the views, and they really can't be beat.

An amazing house in a beautiful position

We wanted a place with a sea view but close enough to Portsmouth and Southampton to be able to visit them in ease. As it happened we based most of our visit around the house walking alongside the waterfront. The house itself was really nicely set up and the sliding glass wall on the living room was amazing. Well worth visiting and highly recommended

About the host

Hosted by Mel V

I grew up in Hill Head , spending hours as a child on the beach, swimming and wandering, appreciating the views, it changes constantly, the colours, the action, the air, the breeze, the sea aroma, everyday is different and I never tire of this. I travelled widely , lived abroad and decided to return home with my children to this special place, my children now have enjoyed the freedom the sea offers in their dinghies. I live a few minutes walk from Cowes View in my family home where I grew up . Cowes View is a special place and I like sharing it with people.
