Fall Getaway at Sunrise Cottage
We went to the Sunrise cottage for a short getaway for some relaxation and place to use our fishing boat. Our stay exceeded our expectations.The location is very remote but the cottage is so cozy, clean and welcoming that we wished we could have stayed longer. We ate dinner at the local restaurant , Old Salty's both nights . The food and hospitality were exceptional. The local general store was very convenient for breakfast and/ or lunch. Toby and Kim were excellent hosts. They kept us well updated and gave us suggestions on where to put the boat in and where to eat. We highly recommend the sunrise cottages and we hope to get back there sometime soon!

I am going again
When I booked this property I was concerned the distance from the city, but it ended being a great asset. This is the most quiet, scenic, relaxing property i ever booked of over 25 times. I will definitely be going back for a weekend just to relax. I was there for Ironman. Bed slept good too.

My husband & I had a wonderful stay at the Sunshine Cottage on Hooper's Island. We took our two small dogs which was a real plus. We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful location to vacation.

Great crabbing
Crabbed with chicken parts off the dock. Caught more than a dozen and steamed and ate delicious crabs. Enjoyed breezes and almost no traffic at this location. Brought our small dog who felt at home. Everything is comfortable.

Lovely Getaway
We had a lovely getaway. The hosts go the extra mile to ensure you have everything you need and to let you know about the area. The screened in porch is a perfect place to read, the kitchen was very well stocked with nice cookware, and the private dock was wonderful for watching sunrises or if you enjoy fishing or crabbing. I definitely recommend this place - just make sure you protect yourself and your pets from mosquitoes if you come in the summer!

Nice relaxing stay
We spent 2 nights here and enjoyed our stay very much. We met Toby and he was very informative about the area and available for any problems or concerns. Upon check-in he rushed over with a can of bug spray when I mentioned I was looking for ours. He was very nice and accommodating. The cabin had everything we needed and was quiet and comfortable. We really enjoyed the views and the screened in porch. The area itself was like a step back in time with beautiful scenery and great seafood. We would visit again and stay in this little cute little cottage. They were great hosts!
