Great Cottage

The cottage is exactly as presented in the listing, on the edge of St. James facing the harbor. The cottage was extremely clean, and the kitchen, bathrooms, and deck were all recently renovated - we think we were the first to stay with the new deck out front. Keith & Sheri provided easy check-in and check-out instructions and were very helpful about the ferry. The location is great, a three-minute walk to the grocery store, Whiskey Point Brewing, and the Wild Strawberry. Walking the other way the lighthouse is about five minutes, and there is a great loop around the point and back to the cottage that is primarily a nature preserve - saw many eagles, herons, and other wildlife on runs.

Great location near the ferry and historic district

Rented this property for a senior adult sibling getaway. Beautiful view of the harbor and walking distance from restaurants, cafes, and even a brewery as well as historic places to visit. Enough sleeping space for 5 adults with a kitchen well stocked for cooking and serving meals.

Fantastic Location, Wonderful Hosts - One of the best spots on the Island

The property is in an ideal spot on the island with close walkability to town and the north end light house. The house is very clean and is exceptionally well appointed. It has everything you need for a wonderful stay and everything is easy to find. The hosts are quick to respond and dedicated to making sure your stay is the very best. It is one of the best VRBO properties I have ever stayed in.
