Seafront Quay West Apartments - an apartment that sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom

Positioned on Cowes seafront, across the road from the beach, this stunning second floor one bedroom contemporary apartment enjoys panoramic sea views over The Solent from the lounge and balcony. Parking to the rear.

A short walk along the sea front will take you to the 'Old Town' Cowes and main High Street beyond where you will find a wide variety of boutique style shops, pubs, bars, restaurants and supermarkets.

It is an ideal location for those with an interest in yachting or simply wishing to soak up the lively atmosphere.

Walk west away from the town you will find popular sailing village of Gurnard with beachside cafe, family dining pub, both enjoying stunning sea views and on clear summers evenings the sunsets are amongst the most stunning on the Island.

Car parking is off road, free and at the rear of the apartments and communal grounds laid main to lawn providing a place to soak up the sunshine should you not wish to venture across the road to the beach or to the seafront green and picnic area a short walk away.

We had a fantastic stay in the apartment in Cowes. The views on the Solent are great, it was a relaxing and exciting stay especially during Cowes Week. Cowes town is a 15-20 minutes walk with great restaurants and a lot of shops. The apartment is well equipped for two persons.

Another excellent stay at the apartment. All good for a few days away. Only gripe would be the TV is very small and not enough plug sockets to charge our phones and ipads. Walking easy to Cowes and Gurnard. Woodvale pub is excellent for comfort food .

Excellent all round. Fabulous view over the Solent. No faults at all. Kept very clean. Lift is a great service for those who can't go up a few flights of stairs. Great service from Island Holidays.

My wife and I holiday two or three times per year and without hesitation I would make the claim that ISLAND HOLIDAY HOMES represents the most friendly and (more importantly) professional travel agency we have booked with. The whole process from original enquiry to the arrival details are essentially completed without any stress. Their whole portfolio is good but we particular like the Seafront Quay West Apartment in Cowes. Immaculately presented upon arrival with all facilities one could ever wish for. The balcony views are without doubt some the best in Britain and the town provides endless things to do. We have returned to this accommodation on three occasions already and have three more in the pipeline, thanks to this company and in particular the personal attention granted to us by Kerry, who also arranges affordable ferry crossings. We look forward to holidaying in Cowes for the foreseeable future.

The holiday began, as usual, by contact with the agent, Island Holiday Homes. We have taken three or four holidays a year in Britain for the past ten years and as a result have dealt with countless holiday companies. Without doubt the ladies on the other end of the phone at Island Holiday Homes are the most friendly and professional people we have had the pleasure to deal with- nothing seems to be too much trouble for them, from contacting property owners to booking ferry tickets and more. I cannot recommend them highly enough. The travel arrangements were first class and upon arrival at Seafront Quay West Apartments everything was as expected- The car parking is clearly marked, the key safe is transparent and having navigated the lift we gained entry into a compact apartment which was clean and tidy. The view of the Solent with all its varied boats and ships captivates you throughout your stay. In todays current climate the cost does indeed represent value for money and the owners should be rightly proud of the whole apartment building. My wife simply adores everything about the experience and cannot get enough- please disregard this review because we require further availability on a regular basis.

We have stayed in several of these Quay West Apartments, always pleased to return. But this year we had a real problem with the bed. The base was only nine and a half inches (24cm) from the floor, and instead of having a mattress, it simply had a block of six inch sponge foam covered in stockinette. It was not at all comfortable, and being so low to the ground we found it very difficult to get up from as there was nothing to hold on to. If you can imagine sitting on a box a foot from the ground and trying to stand up with nothing to hold on to, especially if you are an older person (we are both 78) you will understand the problem. In fact my wife ended up having to sleep on the sofa in the lounge as she found it too difficult to get up from the bed without assistance. If an ordinary double divan bed was installed, at a proper height, this holiday let would be perfect for us, but as it is at the moment, it is not suitable at all. What a shame !

We had a very fine holiday in the Seafront West Quay apartment. Lovely view from the terras to the beach. We didn’t cook in the apartment but it is possible. The kitchen is fully functional. A restaurant is nearby and it is a 15 minute walk to the center of Cowes.

We had previously stayed at the apartment below which we liked. However this is now rented out long term I understand. This apartment we thought offers very poor value for money. The balcony was very dirty and covered in cobwebs debris and finger marks. I had to clean it when I arrived. The apartment generally was very tired with worn cheap furniture, an ikea coffee table with a donkey leg, tired crockery/ glasses, a small ageing television with no streaming services and a rock hard foam mattress. Felt like a futon! We took our own bedding as I cannot sleep under polycotton sheets. At home we sleep on a proper pocket sprung mattress with cotton bedding. All week we didn’t sleep well. Apartment gets very hot and the noise from the hotel extractor fans means you can’t have the bedroom sliding door open. The shower constantly makes a loud sucking noise to prevent flooding but we’ve never come across that before. We preferred the bath downstairs with a shower over. The wet room doesn’t work in such a small space. The only saving grace is the beautiful view and location which is basically what you’re paying for. Sadly we wouldn’t return to this apartment. And after seeing the prices have gone up again to over £1000 a week in high season. Completely extortionate in our opinion. Such a shame as could be lovely with some money spent on it and fairer pricing.

We had to chase the morning we were due to check in for access instructions. On arrival, the flat was freezing cold and had a very unpleasant musty smell. We had to turn the hot water on, locate/turn on the shower isolater switch, we had to work out how to turn on the hot water tank and pump and we had to pull out/move a chest of drawers in the bedroom to find a switch for the heater which was turned off at the wall. All this said, the parking was convenient and easy and the flat was in a stunning location with great sea views - it was a short walk into Cowes

The Apartment was actually bigger than we imagined. It had everything that we needed for the week. The view was spectacular, especially watching the cruise liners etc. coming out at night. It had it's own parking space. It was in a block of privately owned apartments but no problems and very quiet. It was lovely sitting on the balcony too. The bed was large but very low and found the mattress cover and sheets would not stay on the bed. When stripping the beds at the end of our stay we did find marks and bobbles on the mattress. The wardrobe was massive with lots of drawer space but nowhere to hang dresses or skirts. The rail in the wardrobe wasn't high enough. Even my tops and my Hubby's polo shirts were creased at the bottom. It is next door to a hotel and if you had the Juliet balcony door open you did get noise from there, especially the staff arriving in the morning

Stayed here many times because we love the location. We prefer flat 4as it has a bath, but both are excellent and it’s good to have a parking space.
