Herron Island Cabin w/ Deck: Walk to Beach!

Reviews

• 3/5

  Our stay was okay, though not super great. For starters theres always a long wait for the ferry. It holds like 8 cars maybe. The house was nice at first glance, but we definitely noticed pretty quick that things aren't that clean. I know the pillow cases in the downstairs bed weren't changed. Not only were they not changed, but they had big sweat stains, and other crusty stains ALL over them. These were surface stains. Not set in, washed stains. The upstairs bathroom had a crusty stiff towel on the counter. Things could use some updating and more attention. The house was pretty dusty and cobwebby. It just seemed like the very bare minimum gets done between guests. On top of that there were just a hundred minor inconveniences. Most places we stay are very well stocked with daily kitchen tools and entertainment. Off the top of my head, there were no scissors, no can opener, no coffee filters for that coffee maker(no store on island). No decent cutting board. Just a small plastic rectangle that belongs in the trash. There are no blinds or curtains downstairs in the living or dining room. We definitely felt on display to the neighbors all night. Safety wise, there are five ports for smoke detectors but not one smoke detector was there. Add on to that, the coffee maker we learned as we were leaving doesn't turn off automatically and the light on it doesn't work. You don't know if it's on or off. It was on overnight at one point.

• Lovely Herron Island stay

  5/5

  Nice, quiet location. House was well equipped. We didn’t use the kayaks as our friends on the island have plenty, but it’s a great option to have available. Loved our morning walks to say “hi” to the island deers. Would definitely stay again.

• Cute cabin on large lot

  5/5

  Perfect cabin for a small group to enjoy on a beautiful island. Nice and peaceful location. Well equipped kitchen and bathrooms.

  We didn’t utilize the kayaks as we were visiting friends on the island who had some, but this is a great addition to the house as they are stored right at the public beach, making for easy access to the water.

  Great rental if you are looking for a place to unwind and connect with nature.

• Well spent downtime at the cabin

  5/5

  This is our third year staying here. We enjoyed walking along the beach, but know the tide chart so you have beach to walk on as it can take a couple hours to walk around casually.

  Kayaks are available but this time we brought our own.

  Nice to have two full bathrooms. We were comfortable in the downstairs bedroom.

  Be prepared to stay on the island for the duration of your stay, or plan far ahead to account for the ferry off and back on the island. Get in line early. Very nice people on the island. There is a Pickleball court in the center of the island which we used a couple days.

  The host is responsive to any questions and has a contact that lives on the island if anything is needed.

  We will stay here again.

• Great stay on Herron Island

  5/5

  We enjoyed the property and the relaxed pace of the island. We enjoyed walking around the island, looking at the houses, feeding the deer, and visiting the beaches. We did have some issues with the ferry and we could not find the single person kayak. But overall, a nice, relaxing visit.
