Lots of deer on the drive in and they don’t mind you stopping to photo them and watch them feed. House is cozy and comfortable. Folks with mobility issues might want to consider other options as there are a good number of steps. Loved our stay! ##### Steve B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martine W.

You would almost assume there were no neighbors it's so relaxing and calm. We even had a visit from a few Deer one morning. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would definitely come back again. ##### kyle t. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### pauline c. Oct 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely spot If you are looking for a secluded spot, this is the place. We enjoyed going for walks and kayaking around the island. The kitchen is spacious so we did a fair bit of cooking, although it’s a short drive into town to go out to dinner if that’s what you prefer. The only drawback is that the downstairs bedroom was a bit loud because of pumps turning on and off at night, but if you’re a sound sleeper that shouldn’t be a problem. ##### pauline c.

It is off the beaten path but well worth it. Getting to see deer every day was amazing. You can even roll down your window and talk to the them. It was exactly the peace we needed. The view is breathtaking. ##### Jennifer Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin S.

Check in was easy and the host was prompt to get back to us with any questions. The place was very clean and comfortable. A nice quiet area to go and get away from it all and enjoy seaside nature with lots of seabirds and deer that would pay the occasional visit. Lots of space inside and on the deck where we spent most of our time reading and taking in the scenery. Everything you would need is provided. Having access to the kayaks and paddle board was great. Would definitely stay again. Thank you. ##### Kevin S.
