Stayed Aug 14, 2025Great location for this little beach cottage. It is obviously an older place so you only have one bathroom, but everything was clean and they provided everything you need to enjoy the beach in the island.

Stayed Oct 8, 2024Quaint and authentic cabin-like cottage seemingly built by a man of the sea. Cool details in all rooms. There were two large bedrooms with a nice usable kitchen with all the amenities. The location is close to the beach, shopping and eateries. Michael was very accommodating, we enjoyed our stay very much.

Stayed Oct 6, 2023A rather eclectic historic cottage, filled with so many memories from both the past & present. Beds were a bit too firm, but other than a blow dryer, it has all you need. Location is great, close to ferry and downtown. Hotel staff were very kind and accommodating.
