Stunning and unusual house! Slightly strange layout upstairs which only added to the charm. Really loved this place and will probably stay again sometime. Thanks to Dawn who was extremely helpful through the process, and to the Thimble Island Ferry Service who are very friendly and flexible, which is useful when staying on a private island.

It was just an absolute amazing place to stay! The view was amazing. It was quiet and relaxing. Beds were comfortable, listening to the ocean while you sleep was so nice. Little fire put to light outside to sit around to have good conversations. Easy to get to land by ferry. We had our own little boat, made things even easier. We are def thinking about staying a week next summer! So worth it!

A fun and special spot but be warned there is very little lighting. Difficult at night, we used phone flashlights.
