I must admit, I have never heard of Little Deer Island, and a bit nervous about booking there, but wanted a quiet getaway. This place on ‘The Reach’ turned out perfect for us! My partner was a little worried we were so far from town-4 miles to Deer Island, a bit farther to bigger town on mainland- but relaxed after 1st day. Our dog was allowed there & we took long daily walks all over the islands. She especially loved Lily’s Pond a few miles away, for a dog who never swam- she did great.
Our apartment was very nice, most of the needs of home provided! LR, kitchen bedroom & full bathroom with washer and toilet. Sharon (our hostess) was wonderful, very personable., so nice. Recommended several great places to see, where to buy lobsters & how to cook them properly. She has 2 fantastic cats, Zeus & Thor. We could watch them & island wildlife out the LR windows, so enjoyable. It was so quiet at night, almost eerie at first, then refreshing and wonderful to sleep in. The sky was lit up at night with stars and the brightest moon I’ve ever seen- even Chuck was impressed. We’d walk down to the dock & just ogle at the sight. People who we met were also very friendly, full of information, suggestions. A lot of fun just exploring.
On a whole- I loved this place- because of the peace. If you want excitement, might not be the right fit, but if you crave peace & quiet- go here. You won’t be disappointed.
