Wonderful holiday
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.

Great house and great location
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.

Nice house, good location
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.

Perfect Getaway
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.

Perfect island stay
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.
