Summary of reviews
The property received overwhelming positive feedback for its beautiful house, well-equipped kitchen, heated pool, and lovely hosts. Guests appreciated the welcoming atmosphere, spacious rooms, and convenient location.
5.0 / 5.0
The property is truly wonderful, in outstanding condition with comfy beds, excellent in suite baths in 3 of the 4 large bedrooms and the 4th is a short distance and large with a tub and shower.
Large well stocked kitchen with two large adjacent living areas, great location near the water with a classic wonderful pub a couple hundred feet away. The neighborhood is very quite with almost no traffic.
The yard is spectacular with a lovely pool (which we did not use due to the chilly rainy weather).
Wonderful paths for walks along the waterfront and into the surrounding area.
Chicester is only 15 minutes away so grocery shopping is easy. Many nice restaurants nearby.
The best part of the home is the superb communication with the owners. They were very detailed in their instructions, immediately responsive to questions and obviously take great care and pride in their house.
Thanks for a fantastic stay!

We have stayed at many different houses over the years, which have been special in their own way, but for us Street House was outstanding.
It is a beautiful, spacious, well maintained and welcoming house, which is cared for with love by Janet and Mike. A special thank you to the cleaners who do an amazing job in maintaining a very high standard.
Finding somewhere we could treat family members to good sized bedrooms, with comfortable beds and an ensuite was a plus. Our granddaughter who slept in the twin-bedded room claimed the family bathroom as hers when she discovered that all the remaining rooms had an ensuite!
The open plan kitchen/dining room had everything we needed for our Christmas meal preparations and dining. It was the best equipped kitchen we have experienced when staying in a holiday let. It made a change not having to go to the shops to buy an item that was missing,but was essential for us cooking Christmas Lunch. We thought it was a lovely touch to have access to basic supplies if we needed them, which was so helpful.
Thank you for the Christmas Wreath on the door, and the decorative touches throughout the house.
The comprehensive information provided before we arrived, as well as the time that both Janet and Mike gave to respond to any queries we had was very much appreciated.
As we have family in the area, we definitely plan to return some time. Thank you for letting us share your stunning home Janet & Mike. Street House was the perfec

We enjoyed a perfect late autumn break at Street House which is warm and cosy and equipped with everything we could possibly need. We especially appreciated the fabulous country walks along the harbourside, the abundant birdlife and other wildlife and the open log fire to warm ourselves by on returning home. Thank you Janet and Mike, we will certainly be back.

Had an amazing stay at Street House, communication prior to arrival was great and when we pulled up to the house it was stunning and didnt dissappoint in any way. The house was spotless and had plenty of space for everyone, the wifi was fab which pleased my teens and the pool and outdoor area was just the icing on the cake. There were lots of hidden extras which made the holiday easier, the pool inflatables and games all ready to be used and the bottle of champagne on arrival was a lovely touch. We were extremely lucky with the weather we had which meant we could utilise all of the outdoor area but the pool was heated so could have been used even if that changed. The only negative to our stay was that we had only booked for 5 days and not longer. We will definitely be returning.

Loved staying here, there is everything you could possibly need already provided. The weather was good and I had paid for pool heating and we swan every day. Good pub down the road, food was lovely. Ferry that goes to Bosham takes 30 minutes to walk into village. Lots to see in the area, very scenic. Can t wait to return! Thant you

We had a fantastic stay at homely Street House. My grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed the swimming pool which was always warm and clean. It was my 70th birthday and Janet and Mike the hosts (whom were very helpful ) recommended a chef “Tim” who came and cooked for us and he was superb. Lovely house lovely stay lovely location!,

Wonderful Stay
We stayed at Street House for one week in October. The house and garden were beautiful; the children loved the swimming pool and trampoline. Great location with lovely cafe and pub within walking distance. The excellent West Wittering beach is just a short drive away and we spent a good part of the holiday there.

Wonderful property in a beautiful village
The most fantastic stay at Janet and Mike’s beautiful home with the most fantastic pool! All spotlessly clean and they couldn’t do enough to help with any questions.
House was perfect for both my 50th celebration with girlfriends and then a family holiday - the kids were in the pool the whole time! Great location too with lovely pubs, walks and beaches nearby. Thank you!!!

Christmas & New Year
After a tough few years it looked as though a much needed family Christmas would elude us.
Yet, after much planning and searching, we were eventually rewarded and enjoyed Christmas beyond our expectations during these difficult times in a much loved area because the owners understood our needs and that all was being planned within pandemic regulations.
Everything was perfect - the property was prepared to the highest pandemic compliant standards and was a total delight.
It was hard to leave!
Best bit...arriving to a Christmas Wreath on the door, a fully decorated real Christmas tree and decorative touches throughout.
Precious family time was enjoyed by all prior to our son’s imminent posting overseas which will not see him home for Christmas for the next three years.
Janet & Michael, our gratitude knows no bounds. Thank you, for everything. I’m sure we will return to stay in your lovely home soon.

A fabulous week away.
Beautiful house in a beautiful setting, close to the harbour with lovely walks and cycle rides on the doorstep. Janet and Mike could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Our party ranged from 92 years to 3 months, and we all loved it. Many thanks, and we would definitely love to come back again.

A perfect holiday house
We had the most wonderful Summer holiday here. Our party ranged from 4-84 years old and everyone absolutely loved it.
The location is perfect, 50 yards from the village pub and 100 yards from the ferry jetty.
It is spotlessly clean and the gardens are beautifully kept. There is masses of kit in the kitchen and elsewhere for your convenience.
We encountered good weather on the whole but every day was special whatever the weather. There is always something for the kids to enjoy.
Many thanks Janet & Mike.

Our Christmas holiday
Our overall impression was one of total satisfaction.We all loved being there, the house was so welcoming and easy to feel immediately at home .Everything was really convient and the design flowed effortlessly. The kitchen has to have a special mention,there was every utensil you could possible want( especially when organising a Christmas meal ) and plenty of mugs and cutlery to go round all the time, one or two friends or family dropped in for a coffee or tea or something stronger,never a shortage ! The position was also pretty perfect a no through road to a beautiful harbour, just as the details said. Yes thank you we had a truly wonderful relaxing holiday in your beautiful home.

Street House, Itchenor, a perfect family holiday
Street House was chosen for its location, close to the sea, central for our diverse family locations, as much as it was for the pool and garden, necessary requirements for entertaining 4 generations.
In reality our expectations were exceeded, the pool was excellent and heated to a perfect temperature. The accommodation exactly suited our needs, was spotlessly presented, light airy and for evenings when individuals sought some quiet time, provided enough space for that to easily happen.
Mike and Janet are perfect hosts, very helpful and approachable.
We hope to return again.
Thank you to the Lindsays for opening their house to us.

Superb
We had a fantastic break at this lovely property, very clean and comfortable and well equipped. The garden and swimming pool are just lovely, we barely left.
It's also a very nice area, great for cycling and finding local pubs to enjoy lunch in the garden.
Hopefully we'll be back soon.

Magical holiday!
We have just returned from a wonderful 3 generation holiday at Street House. All of us agreed it was one of our best holidays ever. The house is beautifully appointed and fully equipped. The photos do not do it justice! The interior is lovely and the manicured gardens are excellent.
It is also in a beautiful village with the water of Chichester Harbour 200 yards away. When our kids weren’t loving the pool, we hired a boat from Itchenor Boat Hire or we went to one of the great pubs nearby.
Many thanks indeed Mike & Janet.

Wonderful house! Amazing Pool!
We recently spent a week at this beautiful house and had a fantastic time. There were 3 generations of our family that stayed and there was something for everyone. Having the two lounges was an added bonus, especially when there’s children and grandparents, although we were lucky with the weather and spent most of our time in the beautifully kept garden and pool. The house is very quiet and very spacious with everything you could want provided.
I would highly recommend a stay at Street House and we will definitely be returning.

Immaculate spacious house
We had a very pleasant stay at Street House for 4 nights to celebrate a 70th birthday with 3 generations of the family. The magnificent open plan kitchen dining room was very well equipped and all the bedrooms were very spacious. The facilities could not have been better. The grandchildren enjoyed the trampoline and the area was very peaceful. We enjoyed meals at the local pub and another of the owners recommendations in East Wittering.
