We have just returned from a fabulous weeks stay on Fortune. The barge was much bigger than we had anticipated and absolutely beautifully presented. The view of Bembridge harbour from the deck, main living area and Master bedroom is ever changing with full tide being exceptional. We loved the many personal touches the owner had made to make our stay like a home from home - even a personalised ball for our dog and an upright chair for an older member of our party. This was a unique place to stay and without doubt for us the best view on the Isle of Wight we would totally recommend....

We had a wonderful time on Fortune, myself, husband, daughter and 2 granddaughters (16 and 13). Everyone loved the comfort and decor on board. The views were lovely, sitting on deck with the tides changing and watching the sunset. Main bedroom was amazing. Massive comfy bed, walk-in wardrobe and large en-suite. Other bedrooms lovely as well. ...

For a belated celebration for my Birthday my partner booked the Fortune for friends and family to join us at our favourite place on the IOW, Bembridge Harbour. As we all 'boarded' the Houseboat we all smiled and 'WOW' was the response from everyone. Fortune is a luxury experience - spacious, comfortable and well decorated to a high standard with 'quirky' décor from the huge starfish door knocker to jelly fish lights. After a day out we couldn't wait to return to enjoy our time on this amazing houseboat and watch the sunsets. We will definitely recommend Fortune to our friends and family. Big 'Thank you' to Rebecca for the welcome gifts and checking in to ensure our stay was the best. ...

This was our second stay on Fortune, and we loved it just as much, if not more, this time! It is a very well-maintained, comfortable, beautifully decorated and deceptively spacious houseboat which has absolutely everything you need. We love cooking and the kitchen is well equipped, and the open plan design and stunning views make it the perfect destination for a break with family and friends. Our age range was 20 - 65 yrs old, and there were eight of us on board plus our beloved elderly black lab! We enjoyed a week of fabulous weather, and it is so relaxing being out on the deck enjoying the sunsets, meeting the ducks and swans who are regular visitors and just watching the world go by. Thoughtful welcome gifts from the owners who check in to make sure that all is well, they really care. We have been visiting Bembridge for years now, it is our happy place, and this is our favourite holiday rental by far. We were all so sad to leave Fortune, and we hope to return again soon. We highly recommend!...

Our stay at fortune was fantastic. I can't recommend the property enough. There were 7 people staying on the boat including adults and teenagers and there was ample room. Than main living / dining area is spacious with amazing views over Bembridge Harbour, The Duver and over the Solent to Portsmouth. The location is perfect for water sport access which was great for our teenagers. The property was extremely well presented and the owners contacted us to make sure we had everything we needed, which we did. Thank you so much for a truly memorable and comfortable stay on Fortune. We will be returning as soon as possible. ...
