Spacious, clean and well equipped
We had a lovely long-weekend at this property in July. The house was lovely and spacious, well equipped and clean. We brought our two dogs and the yard was well fenced. Open fire with generous supply of wood was brilliant!

what a winner
this was by far the best property we have stayed in during our 10+ years of renting. the layout was great and the kitchen was the best equiped ever. they had everything you could wish for except maybe a knife sharpener.....but the knives (many ) didn't need it anyway. Clothes pegs would have been nice but for $1.25 they now have pegs! Easy walk to a perfect beach.

Good for dogs, spacious, very close to sandy beach
House is well equipped. Beds very comfortable. Ensuite large with delixe hip bath and separate shower. Dogs loved interesting backyard with multi levels to snuffle through. However wasn’t confident that my 5kg dog might not be able to escape through a small fence gap or by digging under. And a larger dog might be able to leap over the very low wire fencing at points. Only 5min walk to completely have the sandy beach to ourselves ( dogs allowed on lead any time of day). Accessed down a short flight of wooden steps my elderly parents managed without difficulty. Many things to see and do, especially birds in the nearby sanctuary ( not for dogs). Complete off leash beach available west of the yacht club about 12min drive away.

Unwelcoming and tired
Kenros needs an overhaul! We walked into a musty-smelling house, overgrown back and front yards and 4 dirty chairs out the front covered in bird excrement - Unusable without a clean. The note on the fridge advised using springwater for tea and coffee (assuming the drinking water was not ok)but there was none supplied. There was no milk in the fridge. A lot of what had been left in the pantry for our use had expired - The t-bags were 7 yrs out of date. The fireplace needed cleaning out and there was no firewood. NO SMOKE ALARMS in the house. The dinner plates were too large for the dishwasher drawers to close adequately. It was wet and the roof gutters didn't drain as there were weeds growing in them and the rain water spilt over the top. It was cold despite the reverse-cycle unit in the kitchen and we left a day early!

Comfortable, well located home
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at Kenros Beach House, two adults and our fur baby. The property was clean and well appointed. We appreciated the location, which was an easy walk to the beach and Thompson street. The only things we would suggest to improve the amenities would be an undercover area outside and a coffee machine.

Wonderful House, Perfect Location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Kenros Beach House is filled with character and charm. It was immaculately clean, absolutely everything we needed was provided. The open fire place with sufficient wood, kindling and firefighters was cosy on the day the weather was a little unkind. Also a gas log fire kept the main living area extremely warm. There were several portable heaters provided however it was not not necessary to use them as the two other fires were sufficient. Numerous games and books provided to keep an eight and five year old occupied.The house was spacious, the en-suite off the master bedroom was very modern with a lovely big bath for the children.I took my Kelpie and it was perfect for her, the yard is well secured and provided both my dog and grandchildren lots of exploring to do.The house is only about 5 minutes walk from the water and walking track, ideal for my dog. Only a short walk into all the restaurants, shops and the two pubs in town. We only used our cars to go to the Penguin Parade.The booking process from day one was simple and dealing with Rachael at First National Cowes was a pleasure. The fact that I could actually contact her to speak to her in person was an added bonus as usually when booking through on line agency’s only emails ect are the main source of contact. Thankyou Rachael.Another plus for me was actually collecting the keys physically from Cowes First National and NO key box to fumble with. I would not hesitate to stay at Kenros Beach House again and hope to do so in the very near future as Cowes is beautiful and one of my favourite places to visit.

Excellent holiday house
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here from the moment we arrived and we’re greeted by a wallaby in the backyard! The house has multiple heating options (split system, plug in electric heaters, real fire place and gas fireplace) so although it was freezing in general the house was cosy. Easy walk to some beautiful beaches to walk along and you could walk into town too but we didn’t because of 3yo. The ensuite bathroom has been renovated but some of the other parts of the house are a little dated. Didn’t worry us though - We would stay here again!

Perfect beach getaway
Property has everything that you need for a perfect beach getaway. While the property is older it has been fitted out with lovely furnishings , layout is great & its extremely cozy. I also loved it’s a way back off the road so no need to be concerned about traffic with young children. Will definitely be staying again.

Did the job. Everything worked. Was a reasonable base for a small family
House was bigger than expected. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms was pretty handy. Definitely needs a thorough clean - dusting, removal of cobwebs, and a clean of blankets. Overall - probably a 3.5 out of 5 Our 2 year old was disappointed when we returned to our actual home, insisting we go back to ‘our holiday home’
