Denise
Houseboat Islay sits on the water in Bembridge Harbour. It is walking distance to Bembridge beach and village. The ideal waterfront property for a family getaway.
Denise and Sam designed and built their houseboat in Bembridge but live on the mainland, escaping to the island whenever possible. Sam with a background in interior and exterior design, which shows in the contemporary and stylish interior.
There is a manual on board with all the info you need for a fun family holiday on the island. With information on local places of interest, eateries and everything you need for a pleasant stay on a houseboat.
