‘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.

This was my 2nd stay at Florida and I will definitely come again. Such a beautiful property with a welll kept lawn that you can lie on and watch the wattle birds feeding their young. Extremely well equipped with everything you could think of in the kitchen, a fantastic range of excellent videos and games. Perfect place for my senior dog in a secure garden and nice and flat inside and out, if you have a dog challenged by flights of stairs . Fantastic large trees in the garden, a gorgeous large deck out the back, and a large outdoor entertaining table with great choice of chairs available. Wood fire in place but also electric Noirot heater for choice. Local produce store not far away where we got the best beef skewers I have ever had. The local beaches are magnificent and are quite different at low and high tides and the grass foreshore along the coast makes a lovely walk. Benji the dog enjoyed the leash free beach just down the road. One of my friends commented that Florida at Ventnor is my happy place.

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

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 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.

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.

We had a wonderful long weekend at the Florida beach house. It was so peaceful - we saw some gorgeous wallabies down the road. The dog beach was heaven for our groodle. Night times so quiet and relaxing. Perfect home base to go and explore Cowes, penguin parade, the Nobbies and more. If you want to "see the sights" on Phillip Island, you will need to drive a bit, but never more than 20 minutes and usually a picturesque drive. We loved our time here - thanks so much.
