Amazing stay
We had an amazing time at Macs beachhouse. The host was super easy to communicate with and there were lots of homely touches to the property, lots of really good books to read too. Close to a beautiful swimming beach and the fire pit/ indoor fire was so lovely. Would definitely go back!

Holiday in Ventnor
We had the best holiday in Ventnor. Tracey and Mac's house has everything you could ever want and the location is perfect. It's 5 minutes walk to Ventnor beach and a short drive to Cowes and the Penguin Parade. The house is so comfortable and cosy and the kitchen is very well equipped for those that like to cook. Would definitely recommend a stay here to anyone. 5 stars.

Cosy and cute in a great location
Loved the location and the house was cosy and cute. Lovely outdoor area to relax and plenty of space for our pooch. My only suggestion for improvement would be to be less cluttered. Was difficult to find space for our own things when almost every cupboard and drawer had owners own belongings inside. Thanks for a relaxing week.

Lovely summer break
We had a great stay at Tracey and Mac’s house in Ventnor. The house is suitable for a small family and has a great outdoor area. It is located within walking distance to a swimming beach and dog beach. Tracey and Mac were extremely accommodating and responsive. We had a great first family holiday. Thank you!

Wonderful break in Phillip Island
We had a wonderful time. The property was just as described and our dog Elliott was very safe in the secure yard and it was just a short walk to the dog beach which was great. The owner of the property responded to queries very quickly and was lovely to deal with. Definitely recommend this property.

My partner and I stayed for a weekend, the property is close to Cowes and the Nobbies also a short walk to the beach. We had a very relaxed weekend with everything we needed in the home. Lovely property close to all amenities and far enough away to be peaceful and private.

Unbelievably Relaxing
We had the most relaxing weekend. The home is so cozy and comfortable. There is everything you would need and the fact that our furbaby Bella (whippet) was welcome, made our stay so much enjoyable. Walks along the beach, quiet location and just a short drive into Cowes made it perfect. We will definitely be returning to our new favourite getaway. Thank you so much Tracey and Mac
