⸻
Private Outdoor Living
Step outside to your private waterfront patio, exclusive to Boathouse guests. This serene outdoor space includes: • Dining table for 6 • Two sun loungers • Extra cocktail seating • Gas BBQ grill for outdoor cooking • Gorgeous sunset views over Harrington Sound
It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee, lazy afternoons, or evening dining with family and friends.
⸻
Dock & Beach Area
Head down to the shared dock and beach area for a true island experience. Swim in the Sound (we recommend water shoes), sunbathe on the dock, or launch into the water with the two single kayaks and stand-up paddleboards available for guest use. These are shared between Boathouse, the neighboring cottage (Shipshape), and the owners.
Looking for more privacy? Book both cottages for exclusive use of the waterfront.
Please return all kayaks, oars, and paddleboards to the beach—not the dock—when done. High winds can quickly sweep them away.
⸻
Guest Access & Arrival
Before arrival, we’ll send full check-in instructions, including how to access the key for smooth entry. The Boathouse is yours to enjoy throughout your stay, and your private patio is marked and fenced, offering a peaceful space all your own.

Waste Disposal: • Trash is collected on Thursdays • Recycling is collected on Fridays Please move bins to the top of the driveway on collection days. Blue bags for recycling are provided.
Energy Conservation: Before heading out, please turn off lights and set the A/C to 22–23°C on the dehumidifier cycle (the teardrop setting). This helps us keep rates affordable and reduce our environmental impact.
