Tunnel Hill was the perfect spot for our family holiday. From the start, communication with the Tunnel Hill team was exceptional. Being greeted upon arrival and shown around was very much appreciated. The cottage was very well equipped and very comfortable. The golf cart and tunnel down to the beach were highlights. We loved the view, the outside amenities and the peaceful setting. Tunnel Hill exceeded our expectations and we hope to return.

Restful and Perfect!

Great experience! The view is amazing. great to have a fast way to go up and down to the beach, which is incredible. Saw lots of whales (both humpback and orcas). Lots of space for four of us to do our own thing but ideally located to grab groceries without having to take a lot of time out of your day. Fire pit was awesome, kayaks and a paddle board too. All in all one of our favourite vacations. Mike and his whole team were great!

This was our second stay at Tunnel Hill Cottage and it was just as wonderful as the first. Everything from pillows and beds to amenities on the property are better than one could hope for. Property team is very fast to answer any questions and easy to contact. Would highly recommend this property to all. Thanks for everything Tunnel Hill, we will be back again and again!

A few things missing

A few things missing

This is a very nice property. I do believe it is overpriced however. My family and I use VRBO properties for our vacations often and never have we come across a kitchen like this. If the cook is in the kitchen, they’re on their own. There is a reason there is only one picture of it. There is a beautiful view at the back of the house, however the back deck could use more chairs and a sturdy table as well as some lighting for the evening hours, otherwise your in pitch blackness. The living room and bedrooms were comfortable and clean and we all slept like teenagers!

More than impressed

More than impressed

Our 2 families of 4 stayed at Tunnel Hill for a week this summer and it was fabulous! We chose this property for the excellent reviews and we were not disappointed. The pictures do not do it justice. The house was well stocked, the linens were soft, and it was clean clean clean (very important to us, as we stayed during Covid). Janet was there to show us the house upon arrival, and when we noticed there were only 3 wine glasses later, she was quick to respond and drop off 2 new sets within a couple hours. Mike came to show us the property...the awesome tunnel down to the beach, the golf cart, campfire, the kayaks etc. Such a beautiful and special property. The kids could ride their bikes up the long driveway, they played basketball and bocce. But of course most of our days were spent at the beach. We made so many special memories at Tunnel Hill. Hope to return some day!

We were personally greeted and shown around the property upon our arrival. I very much appreciated having a real person to answer any questions. The location is fabulous, beautiful view, and very close to town. The house seemed well stocked with plates, cups, mugs, and even toilet paper. The beds were very comfortable including enough blankets and an assortment of pillow choices. The house was furnished well and the living had plenty of comfortable seating for all our guests. This house felt very much like home. We would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

Thanks Giving Dream Trip

What an amazing place and location. I could write a huge review, but it was a wonderful trip, so I'll keep it short. The house was clean and well stocked. The property is a mixture of lawns, forests and private beach, so a dream location for kids. The use of the golf cart to drive down to the beach through the tunnel just added to the fun. A place we will return to.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tunnel Cottage - those young and old! The home and property is immaculate. The beach is beautiful and the attention to detail from the caretakers, property manager and owner is truly a rare find these days. Although the weather wasn’t the best we still enjoyed nature walks up the long tree lined driveway, daily beach walks when the tide was out and everything about the grounds and cottage. The cottage is well stocked with linens, kitchen items, games, etc. and the decor and view instantly put me at ease. The children (aged 2 -12) loved the sandbox and the golf cart rides through the tunnel and down the windy cliff to the beach. Our stay was simply perfect!

Perfect home

The Tunnel Hill Cottage was absolutely perfect for our family vacation. Maureen was so friendly and easy to work with, and Mike and Janet greeted us upon arrival and helped us get acquainted with the property. The home was beyond compare! It is perfectly decorated, but feels so comfortable. It had everything we could need. The patios make enjoying the outdoors so inviting. The views of the water from both inside and outside the house can not be beat. And a short walk takes you to the beach. I will come back again!

Super lovely rental! Highly recommend

Super lovely rental! Highly recommend

Our family of 8 really enjoyed our stay at Tunnel Hill. The large dining room and living room made our family visit so comfortable and easy. It was really helpful having so many plates/cutlery/platters etc as part of the kitchen kit - we were never short of anything despite being a big group cooking all our meals. I have already recommended Tunnel Hill to other island friends looking for a family reunion destination, and we hope to return next year. Thank you from the Fisher/McKerihens
