Unique ISLAND Living off the grid -Waterfront cottage

We love coming here and once again we had a wonderful week! The outside world melts away when you’re on Friendship Long Island.

This visit was our fourth to the island and this charming cottage. We loved the views and the serene atmosphere of this little part of the world. Odette is always a gracious host and we look forward to our next visit!

Odette was nothing short of amazing from start to finish. Since the property is only accessible by boat, she picked us up and helped us into the cabin. She walked through the property giving us all the ins and outs and then let us be. My family was able to totally unplug since there was no tv or any distractions and we just enjoyed time together. My daughter even made friends with Odettes grandkids which made the time there even better. I feel that this will become an annual trip for us and I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanted to get away from it all.

My wife and I made the trip to Friendship to elope and were incredibly lucky to have found Odette and her families wonderful cottage. The cottage is extremely cute and comfortable, well equipped, is in an awesome location, and has amazing views off the deck (including some spectacular sunsets). If the amazing cottage and location weren't enough, Odette and her family are genuinely some of the nicest, most accommodating, warm people we have met. My wife and I's elopement plans were unique to say the least, but Odette and her family went out of their way every step of the way, to make our once in a lifetime trip, truly special. They even connected us with some locals to take us out to Eastern Egg Rock to see the puffin colony. I can't recommend this place enough and will be back every opportunity we get.

Absolutely wonderful, perfectly well appointed, slightly 'off the grid' cabin. The island had wonderful trails for morning strolls with our dog before we hit the water and explored Muscongus Bay. So many islands, channels, wildlife to see! Coming back from the water and relaxing on the deck and watching beautiful sunsets was a bonus! Hosts were great and very accomodating. We hope to come back again!

Actually every time is! We enjoyed our end of summer stop at this lovely waterfront cottage again. There were plenty of lovely walks to take on the island and the mainland is only a mile and a half away, easily reachable via kayak, which my husband took advantage of for his runs on the mainland and quick stops at the local Wallace’s store. The view from the deck of the cottage never gets old. I’m so happy our host shares this little spot.

We had an amazing time staying at Odette’s island cabin. We spent the weekend swimming and exploring trails/beaches on this awesome little island. Our dogs had a blast swimming and exploring as well. Odette was the sweetest and her cabin was stocked of plenty of accommodations for those with littles (books/toys, baby gates, booster, highchair). 10/10 best family get away.

I’m hesitant to share my review- because I want to keep this sweet gem all to myself!! This is the perfect getaway- isolated enough to feel removed from busy day to day life, but still with modern conveniences and a quick boat ride back to the mainland. We loved our stay in the cabin- which was well equipped with anything we could need. It was so quiet and peaceful. My family loved sitting on the rocks watching boats and sea life, getting lost on the island trails, and exploring small beaches that we had all to ourselves. Odette was a generous hostess and made coming to her little island paradise very easy. Would definitely recommend staying here to anyone who wants to get off the grid for a bit for a relaxing break.

We had an excellent stay in Odette’s cottage. The house is open and airy. Big windows and a large deck give a gorgeous view of the bay. Everything was super clean and cozy. Odette and her husband were super helpful and friendly. They also helped carry our embarrassing amount of luggage and supplies. We had a perfect mini vacation. Thanks Odette and Bill!

Suzzane great us at the dock and transport us to the Friendship Long Island. Danielle meet us at the home dock and help us carry luggage to the beautiful cottage. They gave us a home tour and the check in process is very smooth! Suzanne brought us to the lobster wharf, super fresh Maine lobster! Kayaking in the gulf, fishing mackerel, squid and sea bass, catch crab, saw sea seals, we even see two dolphins chilling in the bay!!! Best Vrbo experience ever! See you next time!
