Fantastic
Exactly as shown, even better vibe with a beautiful fireplace.
Description and photos are accurate, but there is no hot tub and the dog beach is a 5min walk in winter, 15 in summer, Nov-April I believe.

Ventnor 'Florida' Cottage
Only two of us in the end instead of four, which would have slept four comfortably, but can sleep more.
Perfect for our needs. Hosts make it easy. Incredibly quiet area. Slept better there than at home.

Suited our needs perfectly
Ventnor is far enough away from Cowes to enjoy peace and tranquility and close enough to access all that Cowes has to offer. Florida was the perfect place for us to stay. The house was clean and had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. The yard and the quality of the fencing was an added bonus because our dog was safe and able to roam around the property off lead. We would love to come and stay again in the future.

Relaxing and cute, great holiday stay!
This cute little cottage was spotless when I arrived. In a peaceful setting, with a lovely big and private garden, and birds everywhere, it’s really well located. The owner Nicole was so helpful, great communication, the cottage is well equipped with anything you’d need on holiday. I’d recommend it highly and would love to go back again.
Thanks Nicole for everything xxx

We had a lovely time at Florida, house was very clean and everything that we needed was supplied. Our poochie loved the backyard and lying by the fire after we walked along the beach. Highly recommend staying here for a quiet and relaxing holiday.

Lovely stay
‘Florida’ was a very clean and tidy home and yard for the whole family (including the fur baby) to enjoy. It was well equipped with amenities and wood for the fire. Such a lovely quiet spot only a short drive from Cowes Main Street and the other island attractions. Thank you for having us.

Weekend getaway for my sister and her husband
They had a lovely stay. Close to shops and a lovely quiet place. Nice and private.
Florida was a clean and comfortable cottage in a quiet area of Phillip Island to enjoy our few days' holiday. The fire place and hearth make the house so warm and cosy. The garden is well kept and lovely with a fully enclosed fence for our 2 dogs. Lots of good walks and close to the beach. We enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return. Thank you.
