Curated, not collected
We take on homes we would be happy to stay with our own families in. A collection of stays that don't skip the details.
About Isle Stays
Two island families, one collection
Your home looked after like it's our own, valued properly and loved. Four people who call the Isle of Man home and who believe the Island’s finest houses deserve to be seen, stayed in and enjoyed.
Who we are
Homes are in the genes
We are Rebecca Creane, Jessica Bowles, Orry-James Creane and Thomas Bowles, two couples with a passion for homes.
Between us we are a chartered surveyor, a chartered accountant and two people who have spent their working lives in marketing and operations on the Isle of Man.
Isle Stays came from a simple observation. This Island is full of remarkable homes and full of visitors who would love to stay in them. We wanted to build the bridge between the two and to do it properly.
So we built the thing we'd want on both sides of it: a small, deliberately curated collection, beautifully presented, run by people who call it home.

Four things we won't budge on
Actually local
We live here. If something goes wrong on a Friday night, you'll speak to someone who can be at the door to help.
Marketed properly
Photography, pricing, listings, calendars, channels. The commercial side of a holiday let is a job in itself. Doing it well is what makes the difference.
Owners are partners
Your home is your asset, not our inventory. You keep control of it, you see what we see and you get told the truth about what it will and won't achieve.
What you can expect
Two sides, one standard
If you're staying
- A home that looks like its photographs, or we will want to know why.
- Beds made, heating on and something in the kitchen worth finding.
- A real person to call, based on the island, not a chatbot.
- Honest local advice on where to eat, what's worth the drive and what to skip.
If you're letting
- A straight assessment of what your home will realistically earn.
- Professional photography and a listing written to sell, not to describe.
- Pricing and calendar managed actively through the season, not set once in March.
- No tie-in, no surprises and your property treated as yours throughout.
Come and say hello
Whether you're planning a week on the island or wondering what your own place could do, we'd rather have the conversation than the contact form. But the contact form works too.
