We had a lovely time at the deck house. It's a lovely spot we enjoyed finding crabs under the rocks by the waters edge. The deck house was lovely and clean and well equipped. My family and I had lovely time we would definitely like to return one day.

The deck house is comfortable and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The joining instructions were clear and timely, the information provided on the house and the local area were also excellent. Having Wifi was a bonus for the kids. Lovely balcony to enjoy the evening sun.
The location is great, very peaceful with a nice walk into Emsworth through the harbour. Loads to do in the local area, would love to come back.

Second time we have stayed here & the improvement made to the lighting in the lounge was great for my wife who sewed every evening. The house on stilts is very comfortable, has everything you need for a very peaceful & relaxing holiday. Comfortable beds, outdoor furniture for the balcony & toys for the visiting grand daughter. Plenty of kitchen utensils which meant we could cook as we do at home. All mod cons such as washing machine & tumble dryer (though didn't need to use these this time), dishwasher, freezer etc. In fact everything to make our stay perfect.

We found the deck house very comfortable and well equipped. Peaceful and relaxing watching the wildlife outside on the ponds.
Emsworth is a short walk away and has an assortment of Pubs and Places to eat.
There are many places of interest and nice walks in the surrounding area.
We are looking forward to our next stay in the Deck house.
We found 3 Avocet Qauy to be as described on the website. It was very clean, well equipped, comfortable and had everything that we needed to enjoy a few days in the area. It is easy to walk to the shops, but it's location near the yacht marina makes it feel "away from it all". It was nice to be able to walk straight onto the footpath for Thorney Island.
Stayed for a long weekend and were not disappointed.The "House on Stilts" is in a quiet area close to the Sea. Emsworth is a great place to eat,drink walk and people watch and we loved it.The" House" is very well appointed and is obviously used by the owners.Will hopefully be returning in the near future.
The location and architectural concept of the Deck Houses, No.3 Avocet Quay in this case, is very interesting and a big part in choosing this holiday letting.
However, the interior contents leave much to be desired.
• Lighting in the kitchen / dining room is deplorable and needs urgent upgrade so you can see what you are cooking.
• No extractor fan
• Various saucepans, frying pans with worn non-stick coating
• No oven trays except a round pizza tray
• No instructions evident for the microwave and the oven and the lighting so poor that it is impossible to see markings on dials and switches
• Considerable old bottles of sauces of indeterminable date clutter the fridge. Drawers contain junk of odd plastic children’s bowls, straws etc
• Cracked mugs
• All kitchen equipment should be in excellent condition and listed on an inventory
• No coffee table
• Sofa Bed very heavy to open up and too low to the floor, poor quality
• Outdoor furniture stacked and unsightly behind sofa in sitting room
• Take your own “Fairy Liquid” nothing supplied
• Only one good tea towel
• Kitchen cabinets suit those 6ft tall+
• Mould on shower wall in bathroom – better to take tiles all the way up
• Deplorable fault in flush mechanism of toilet
• Lack of mirrors in bedrooms
• Children’s room tiny
• All walls in staircase need painting
• Keys on arrival secured in very awkward box fixed too high on a post and no light to see the numbers on keypad to enter – same when leaving
• Owner took 6 days to return security deposit
If your letting requirement is a rough and ready place for 2 adults and 2 small children it’s OK, just. But for adults or anyone who has nice amenities in their own home this place will be quite a come down, and costly.
