"Byewater is a lovely bungalow very spacious with a stunning view at the rear of the property."
The drive is very steep which is hard for disabled people like myself to walk up. The property is comfortable it is ideally situated with everything you need a drive or bus ride away i.e. Supermarkets, nearby towns, beaches, restaurants and attractions.

"A fabulous stay at this lovely accommodation."
Perfect location and very well equipped. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Beautiful views and great fun paddleboarding and crabbing from the garden. We stayed with 4 adults and 4 children aged 10, 12 and 15. We all had a wonderful time and the children have already asked to book again! Thank you for a super holiday.

"I booked this for my husbands 60th birthday as a surprise, he had no idea the rest of the family were coming."
Byewater is the perfect property for a larger group and comfortably accommodated all 8 of us and 2 dogs. What a wonderful place to stay, peaceful and relaxing. Beautiful surroundings. everything you need for a holiday, including red squirrels! I didn't want to leave and will definitely be back. Thank you.

"Well maintained and clean property, ideal for a mature group of friends for a holiday week."
We appreciated the comfortable chairs/sofas in the lounge and cooked a meal most nights. The red squirrels visited nearly every day and we kept the nuts topped up. Great to watch the kids learning to row a large canoe on Wootton creek. The instructions to get there were helpfully precise. A peaceful spot on a lovely island

"This was the best holiday cottage we have rented, not posh or fancy but clean and comfortable with everything needed for a great holiday, and in a stunning location also perfect for dog owners."
Plus a friendly owner on hand to provide any help or assistance needed. Highly recommended.

"Byewater is the perfect holiday let in many ways, Chris the owner was very helpful."
The house is perfectly situated for peace and quiet with a lovely view and was very clean and all mod cons. Easy accessible to all parts of the isle and Fishbourne to Portsmouth ferry 400 meters away, there is a local pub 400 meters away which serves lovely food. We will return again for sure.

"We loved our stay at Byewater."
It was perfect for our party of 6 adults, 3 small children and two dogs. The view is stunning and we loved being able to use the kayaks and paddleboards. We saw red squirrels every day and they were very happy to sit and run along the decking. The owner provided nuts for us to leave out and the squirrels loved them. It was wonderful! We met Chris, the owner, and he was very warm and welcoming. It was very reassuring to have him close by if needed. We would love to stay again.

"We had a fabulous week at Byewater."
The location is stunning. Our group was 7 adults & 2 dogs - and we had plenty of space without feeling cramped. The house is well set out, with the bedrooms being separate from the kitchen & dining / living area. Plenty of parking space (though the drive down is steep!). The back of the house opens onto a large deck overlooking the creek. It is just fantastic. Red squirrels were daily visitors on the deck - easily persuaded to stop & eat the peanuts that Chris had left. Communication with Chris was great. We left a couple of mentions in the maintenance book - such a good idea to be able to note down any small issues as they arise. It was our first family holiday all together & we couldn't have stayed anywhere more wonderful. Thank you to Chris & his team. We would love to return.

"Byewater was the perfect place for us."
Probably one of the most peaceful places we have ever been yet so close to all the amenities and easy access all over the island. As the place is a 5 minute walk from the ferry and the bus stop is not far away the car was not needed all the time. My grandson adores squirrels and they made an appearance every day. Any questions we had were quickly answered/dealt with by Chris despite the fact that he was in the States, so thanks go to his, very efficient, back up team as well! We didn't want to leave and think it will be difficult to find anywhere else that we'd rather stay.

"We had a super time at Byewater, thank you!"

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your holiday at Byewater. With sincere thanks, The Byewater Team. Property Owner

"We had an amazing time at Byewater last week (25/09/23 to 29/09/23)."
The location and description of the property was exactly as we were expecting from the description on Sykes website. However, I have to say, this property was exceptional !! It far exceeded our expectations. Amazing location, fantastically clean and well-proportioned/layout of the property overall. Beautiful freshly laundered towels, bedding and all the little extras that were included in the kitchen....the little things that you forget to bring.....washing up liquid, oil, salt & pepper, tea bags/coffee, tea towel to name but a few....and the nuts for the squirrels that make an appearance daily !! Chris, the owner, is super friendly and always on hand and so keen to make our stay as lovely as possible. We will be back and I can't wait.
Thank you for your feedback. We so enjoy knowing that our guests have had a good holiday at Byewater! We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. With sincere thanks, The Byewater Team. Property Owner

"It’s in a stunning quiet location and is a fabulous large property, begging to be upgraded."
But its downside at the moment is its ‘needs an update and a really good deep clean. The paintwork is grotty, some curtains mouldy and torn. The showers don’t work properly, neither does the dish washer. The master bedroom bed is uncomfy. But to be fair to the owners, they’ve just started to let it out and say they are on a learning curve. Its a gorgeous place with plenty of opportunities for swimming, canoeing, boating. A big private, perfectly located property. We had a great stay. So thank you.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed all of the wonderful outdoor activities that our unique waterfront property offers. The maintenance issues have been noted, and are being addressed. Thank you, The Byewater Team. Update (October 2023): New drapery panels have been installed in the living area. The dishwasher has been serviced & is working well. The showers have been checked, and all three are working properly. Property Owner

"What a fab spot Byewater is, this is the 5th house we have hired on the Island and is our favourite, good size bedrooms, lots of wardrobe/cupboard space, very large lounge and kitchen/dining area, great for entertaining (we had friends and family over) , large decking area leading down to the pontoon - children had a great time crabbing and feeding the ducks, nice pub in walking distance."
House has everything you need to feel like a "home from home". Will defo book again. Thank you :)
Thank you for your kind comments. It makes us very happy to know that families are enjoying the home to its fullest! With sincere regards, The Byewater Team. Property Owner

"Absolutely loved this house."
It’s rather rustic looking from the outside but really lovely inside and the setting is amazing. Took our paddle boards out on the creek from the jetty and loved sitting on the decking with a cuppa in the morning. It would be nice if there were gates on the decking so you could relax a bit if you’ve got a dog or smaller kids. We would definitely come back , we had a wonderful stay .
Thank you for your kind feedback. We would like to let you know that there are now gates on the deck, so the area is fully enclosed and safe for kids and dogs. We look forward to seeing you again at Byewater! Property Owner

"As a family of 8 we were let down on another property we had booked elsewhere 4 days before our arrival so i was chuffed to bits to get this house, and what a blessing in disguise."
Our ages ranged from 28 to 89 and we had a fantastic time at Byewater. Sitting on the enormous decking looking out on the estuary watching the dog play and one of our party paddle boarding in the sunshine was the highlight. The front room is amazing with large bifold doors that open up to look out to the decking and back garden and has plenty of sofas and recliner chairs. Some parts of the house are a little tired and could do with freshening up. The beds are very comfortable and clean. A proper information book with things like rubbish procedures and if we were able to use the out buildings would have been nice, but i don't think the house has been rented out for long. This did not stop us from enjoying what could be an amazing holiday home though, and we all said we'd definitely stay there again. Also it's literally 4 mins drive from Fishbourne ferry terminal.
Many thanks for your feedback. We are so very pleased that you fully enjoyed Byewater, and all that our property has to offer. Our first full month of renting is coming to a close. We therefore appreciate your comments, as we are striving to provide the best possible guest experience. With Sincere thanks, The Byewater Team. Property Owner
