"We stayed in a Classic Cabin that had a marina view. Was only myself, wife, and adult son, but there is a loft that would be perfect for 2 children. Very clean, very affordable. My son mentioned he and some friends were planning a fun weekend, and this would be a great place for them. Great place to stay for a scalloping trip."

"House was beautiful & great size for our large family. We had fun on Horseshoe beach. We had friendly neighbors, & the community was so welcoming. I would advise doing research on area prior as it is very remote and a drive to major stores, restaurants or hospitals. The small general store was surprisingly stocked pretty well for any staples you may need & 1 local restaurant that is open Thu-Sat. We will definitely be back."

"Host was very amenable, including allowing us to check in early. There were several mini cooking appliances in the newly remodeled kitchen for our use including more than enough dishes. We enjoyed homemade steaks grilled outside, and even beef tips and gravy cooked on the hot plate! The air conditioner, though small, works wonderfully! All in all, a very cozy, comfy, homey place with a kind and easily reachable host! Will definitely stay again! Thank you Dragonfly Cottage!"
