About the home

Gurnard Marsh is an area on the north shore of Isle of Wight just to the west of Cowes. It is an ideal location for many different types of visitors including families, walkers and ramblers, cyclists and dinghy sailors. It has long been a popular holiday spot with rows of beach side chalets dating back to the 1920's, but now most of the old rail carriages and timber chalets have now gone. The replacement buildings are built to today's standards but designed to be in keeping with the beach side chalets they replaced.

The Isle of Wight region

The Isle of Wight is one of the most idyllic yet exciting parts of Britain. A place that seems to exert an irresistible attraction that brings visitors back time after time.

Popular from Victorian times as a holiday resort, the Isle of Wight is known for its natural beauty and as home to the Royal Yacht Squadron at Cowes, a town that hosts a world famous annual regatta. Colloquially, it is known as "The Island" by its residents. It possesses a rich history including its own brief status as a vassal kingdom in the fifteenth century, home to poet Alfred Lord Tennyson and Queen Victoria's much loved summer residence and final home Osborne House. Its maritime history encompasses boat building and sail making through to the manufacture of flying boats and the world's first hovercraft. It is home to the Isle of Wight Festival, which, in 1970, was one of the largest rock music events ever held, with estimates reaching 600,000 attendees, overtaking the record set at Woodstock a year earlier. The Isle of Wight Festival was revived in 2002 to critical acclaim, headliners in 2006 were Coldplay, Foo Fighters and The Prodigy. The island is also one of the richest fossil locations for dinosaurs in Europe.

In AD 686, it became the last part of the British Isles to convert to Christianity, almost a century after the rest of Great Britain.

The Cowes / Gurnard area

Gurnard is on the Solent and is renowned for being one of the best sailing areas in the world. More information on local sailing can be found at the Gurnard Sailing Club and Cowes Week websites.
The Isle of Wight is renowned for its range and quality of cycling terrain. It has a network of quiet lanes and bridle ways and an ever increasing number of railway line to cycle path conversions.

There is a well signposted Round the Island road route which passes the front doors of both of our properties.
We are well equipped to cater for cyclists and their equipment and both of our properties have secure bicycle storage and water hoses in the rear gardens.

“A fantastic nautical pied-à-terre” My girlfriend and I had a wonderful short break in Isle of Wight as a present for her birthday. I had booked this with Carl a month before, including ferry tickets. The journey into IoW and then Seawinds was very easy and pretty quick, although good luck battling the olds getting off the ferry. Soon on arrival at Seawinds, Carl met us to check if everything was okay; we assured him it was. This is a beautifully maintained clean and tidy accommodation half a minute away from the Solent. Inside there was everything needed for our stay, and one night my girlfriend cooked and we had a delicious and cozy night in. Also, we found the beds and furnishings very comfortable, and we would definitely stay again if/when coming back to IoW. East Cowes is only a short drive away, where we went to Mojac's the best restaurant I've been to in years if not ever. IoW has great places to visit, but always come with a car. It was always a nice experience to arrive back at Seawinds after being out and about, especially when needing to warm up after being in the rain for most of the day. The only problem I would say is that the bedroom blinds could be more effective, a small issue when you consider you can wake up to go on beautiful early pebbly beach walks, and possibly even walk to the beach cafe and have breakfast. A bonus with Seawinds are the lovely walks you can go on and take in some brisk fresh air with magnificent views. I would strongly recommend this place to any couple or family. We felt we had made a great choice staying at Seawinds.

“Perfect house in an excellent location” We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Isle of Wight, and a big part of this was knowing that we had such a cosy and comfortable base to come back to each night. Seawinds had everything that we needed, and is well appointed and presented throughout. We received excellent service, and Carl made sure that our booking, arrival and departure were all very straight-forward. The views across the Solent are magnificent, and the restaurant just opposite the house is an excellent perk of the property's location. East Cowes is forty five pleasant minutes walk away, and heading there for a meal is a good way to spend an evening (although make sure you take a torch for the walk back!)

“Perfect really really perfect.” Well kept, clean ,homely with great views of the Solent, everything you would need for a perfect base to explore the Isle of Wight.

“Carl and Michelle,s Beach Bungalow in Gurnard is hard to beat!” This is a lovely beach bungalow, great veiws very quiet and safe. Our gandchildren went crabbing on bridge close by. The sunsets must be seen. The property has everything you need for a self catering holiday except a dishwasher!! (hate washing up) the fridge has a few shelves missing which made it a bit difficult to get all the food in I had delivered. But hey it was still a lovely holiday.

“Perfect” We have just come back from our stay at Seawinds. The property is perfect, and is positioned in an ideal spot overlooking the sea. We stayed with our friends, and all together there were three young children and four adults, it accommodated us very well. Thanks again, Gemma, John, verity, nick, Sam, Alfie & Ava :)

“Lovely well equipped holiday home” Loved the open plan kitchen, living room and dining area especially the stable door which we had half open at meal times. Beautiful sunset views. Really well equipped with everything thought of to make your stay enjoyable. Pleasant decor throughout. Kids loved their rooms and the fact they could change where they slept from the twin room to the bunk beds each night. Owners very welcoming. Kids loved crabbing at the bridge near the house. There is a road right outside the house so just to be aware of little ones running out of house in their excitement to go out and the house is not directly on beach. House well situated for exploring the island and lovely restaurant across the road. Highly recommended.

“A wonderful place to stay” Seawinds is a truly relaxing place to stay with young children. This is our second stay at Seawinds and like last time everything was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. There is a safe garden for young children to play in and it offers great self catering facilities and comfortable bedrooms. The view from the property across the sea is lovely. It is in a great location for making the most of the beaches at Cowes and Gurnard where there are good cafes, interesting shops and nice restaurants.

“Excellent accommodation, lovely, clean and comfortable.” We had a lovely stay on the Isle of Wight. The chalet was perfect for us, lovely and clean and very comfortable. Nice peaceful location and beautiful sunset over the sea every evening. We travelled all over the island and did lots of things for our young son, he had a wonderful time. Highly recommend the accommodation and booking with Carl was easy and friendly. If we ever go back to the island I would deifnitely stay here again.

“Attractive, comfortable chalet in a great location” Perfect location for us as we were visiting family who live in Gurnard Marsh. The property is tastefully furnished with a nautical theme including art work by local artists. Efficient central heating and instant hot water. Easy access to the rest of the Island. Very quiet when we were there but we imagine this location will be buzzing during the season. We took our own coffee machine but other than that there was everything we needed.

“Seawinds - we have been back every year since 2006!” The date of stay isn't correct as the date wasn't in the drop down - we first stayed at Seawinds in August 2006. The drop-down on who holidays there offers a choice of family with young... more

“The photos don't do justice...” Fresh, bright and airy, bigger than the photos suggest, excellent walking, sea views and restaurants nearby. Within walking distance of Cowes and close to village shops (7 mins), this is ideal for a car-less break. 'Little Gloster' (restaurant) is a must-do. Double-glazing provides very snug accommodation, with a gorgeous view of the sunset. Kitchen and living areas very well furnished and appointed. Imaginatively decorated also.

“Great location, lovely accomodation and a friendly welcome” This is the second time we have stayed at Seawinds; the property has a lovely location opposite the beach and is a good base for exploring the island. The accomodation is very well maintained and comfortable. Our boys really enjoyed crabbing just across the road and the sunsets are fantastic. The back garden is a very useful outdoor space. We had a lovely time (again!) and would recommend this accomodation.

“Home from Home” The best possible way to experiance the Isle of Wight! This is our 6th year of coming to the Isle of Wight festival and it would not be the same without our beautiful festival home :-) The stunning views, the fabulous location, the luxury and cleanliness of the house and the welcoming reception and friendliness of Michele and Carl make this a perfect holiday home for any occasion. See you in August and again next year for the festival guys......thank you x
