Really enjoyed our stay on the island. Comfortable place. Liked having a choice of bedrooms (up or downstairs), and having two bathrooms. We made good use of the kayaks everyday, even when it rained one day. It was difficult to find all the kayak choices since many of the marking on the kayaks are wearing off. We also noted that the one garbage can outside was full when we arrived nd we really struggled to put our own trash in it the we left. It seems it should have been empty when we arrived. We enjoyed the evenings sitting on the deck playing cards, and games, and relaxing. We also found the dryer full and washed bedding and towels. Whoever comes to clean the place in-between renters must have missed emptying the dryer. Thanks for a great stay. We would like to stay again next year.

We really enjoyed our experience, though the description of sleeping capacity (6) should have clarified that the upstairs quarters where the Murphy bed is also houses a small futon in a very tight space. Maybe ok for 4 adults and 2 children, but not 6 adults. Other than that, we enjoyed sharing our family gathering there (two of whom also have a cabin in the island).

Great little cabin with some ocean view in the distance from the deck. Very clean and somewhat stocked. The owners were communicative and everything was as described. Bring enough food and water and plan entertainment.
We really enjoyed using the kayaks (every day, even in rain one day).
Very comfortable place to stay. Two bathrooms was nice. This time we slept up stairs. The Murphy bed is comfortable. If you want to watch TV, there is none just as the description stated, so we brought DVDs to watch. The large deck looking at water and distant mountains is so nice. It is large enough that you can usually find a shady spot if the hot sun is too much
Has lots of room for large parties. Large deck. Home was clean. Very dated and in need of a full maintenance run through. Exterior lights not operational. No satellite for TV. Deck needs resurfacing, splintering all over, along with other smaller items.
