The Waves Sanctuary Apartment

One of only a small number of 3 bedroom apartments within The Waves complex makes it ideal for both families, friends or as a quiet romantic retreat.

The main bedroom consists of a queen bed with ensuite and a TV and sliding door to outside, making this an extra space to retreat to. The second bedroom also has a queen bed and the third has a single bed and a tri-bunk (double bed on bottom, single on top) making it perfect for the kids.

The fully equipped kitchen with electric appliances makes cooking a breeze and there is plenty of seating at the dining table for everyone. Enjoy a movie on the large comfy lounge or relax outside with a book.

Split system heating and cooling makes the apartment comfortable all year round and your own washing machine is provided for your convenience.

The communal BBQ with table is provided for all guests within the complex and is located just outside the front entrance of the apartment and there are additional bbq's in the park across the road.

There is plenty of parking within the complex and one designated parking space in front of the apartment.

Lovely stay very close to the beach
Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2023

2/10

We arrived to a flat that: . had no toilet paper . had no bin bags . had a full dishwasher (to be emptied) . had such a dirty bathroom mat we could not use . had no working A/C The flat had clearly not been cleaned and prepared properly before our arrival. When we asked for a partial refund the agency denied. We were not treated fairly and no, we would not recommend this agency for any holiday rentals. There are better and much more cost efficient places to rent in Cowes.

Accomodation was great just not very clean

8/10

There were 8 of us so the unit was a little small but adequate. No real problems for a short stay. Across the road from the beach and a playground for little ones. Easy 5 minute walk to shops. Good location. Only problems were there was only one car space, but we managed to find street parking for the second car. It has everything you would need for a short stay. I would stay again. Would recommend it for families.
