My fiancé and I stayed at Starfish Cottage for 4 nights and fell in love with the property and with Campobello Island. The views are incredible and the cottage is absolutely lovely. It’s beautifully decorated with antiques and ephemera celebrating Campobello’s history covering almost every surface. Waking up each morning to a view of the ocean from bed felt heavenly and our entire experience was calming and serene. We will stay at Starfish Cottage as soon as we can.

The cottage had everything we needed and more. The view was stunning. We highly recommend!

This is an amazing property for the view alone. On Sunday sitting here eating my breakfast while watching a bald eagle sit on the viewing porch. The cottage itself is well equipped with everything a person would need to cook a great meal, we had some local lobster, Saturday for dinner. It’s really the view that stands out. Every few minutes I stop whatever I am doing and just stare off in to the bay. Come for the cottage and stay for the view. I know we will again.

Spectacular!

We stayed at Starfish Cottage for three very comfortable, but all too short nights. The 5 of us (plus our granddog) thoroughly enjoyed waking to the beautiful view each morning, wandering the island trails in the afternoon, watching the eagles soar from the comfort of our screened in porch (no bugs!) and listening to the whales spout in the evenings as we drifted off to sleep. We can't thank our host Dennis enough for a wonderful time. Nor can we recommend this cottage highly enough - should you choose to go and need room for more than 2 this is definitely a place you should consider. This is our second trip to Dennis's properties, but undoubtedly not our last!

This property is just incredible. That's really the best word for it. This is our second stay here - we loved it so much last year that I practically begged the host to give me available dates for 2019 so we could return this summer. The walkout patio overlooking the ocean, the screened-in porch, the deck & Adirondack chairs directly over the water, the whales, eagles, seals, porpoises... it's all amazing. We woke up to the eagles putting on quite a show. One actually perched right on the viewing deck in the back yard for a while. We saw/heard about 10 whales total, right from the back yard. No whale watching tour needed! And Dennis is such a great, friendly, courteous host. He even mailed us something that we accidently left there. If you need a place to relax, disconnect, and see some fantastic sea life, this is it!

It was a wonderful property and set up. The cottage and set up was amazing! We saw whales, seals and other wildlife. Very remote with beautiful scenery and sights. The only thing would be helpful is knowing that limited access to groceries and no gas station. We would have prepared our groceries and menu plan a little different. Overall loved it!

This was absolutely wonderful for our family. We loved waking up to see the beautiful views of the bay. We could not praise Dennis enough he made us feel right at home in his beautiful cottage.

We stayed for 4 nights on Campobello in late June. The reservation process, check-in process and communication both before and during the stay were excellent. First impression is that this home has been lovingly created and decorated. It is one of the coolest houses we have stayed in. The entire story of this home is included in a photo album inside, along with tons of information about the area. We are a family of 5 and fit in the house with no problem. The master bedroom has breathtaking views and a very comfortable bed. There is also a full size washer/dryer in the master bedroom closet that was really nice. With a family of five on a road trip, this made life so much easier. There are two additional bedrooms along with a loft. My eleven year old claimed the loft as her space and loved it. I can not say enough about how the owners made use of every ounce of space in this small cottage. Unfortunately Mother Nature did not cooperate with us and we ended up with some chilly days with highs only in the 50s. The heaters and electric fireplace warmed the house up nicely. The mosquitos were terrible while we were there. After talking with some of the locals it sounds like it was a particularly bad year for them and not the norm. They did make it difficult to fully enjoy the outside areas. However, the screened porch worked great to keep them out and we were still able to enjoy our outdoor time. If only there was a way to heat that porch, we would have lived out there! We were a little early in the summer for spotting whales from shore. However, we did see several seals who swam daily right in front of the house. Make sure to stop by the visitor center when you arrive on the island. They were extremely helpful with suggestions of things to do and area information. The house is only a short distance from the Head Harbor light station. Make sure to head there during low tide and walk out. It was one of our favorite experiences on the island. This was our first time to Campobello. For other first timers, there is no gas station on the island and the Village store only has a small selection of groceries. We took a daytrip into the Lubec area to see the West Quoddy lighthouse and stopped to stock up at the IGA. Just pay attention to what you can/cannot bring into Canada. I hope you enjoy this home as much as we did!

We had a wonderful time at Starfish Cottage. An absolutely stunning setting, with privacy and great views of the water. The house is clean and pleasant with many nice, thoughtful touches. In good weather, the screen porch or the deck are very nice for sitting, reading, eating, etc.. The yard is sizable and there is a cool path down to a rocky outlook with excellent water views (just watch your step!). Dennis checked in to make sure all was well upon check-in. All in all it is a superb site and we will plan on booking here again.

This cottage has all you need to enjoy a beautiful, peaceful getaway. Master is fantastic, our 11 year-old loved the bunks and the loft and I found the double BR very comfortable. The views are truly incredible, especially at sunset. Kitchen is equipped well (brought spices, oil, sugar, you need to fill the fridge) and very clean. No dining area but patio would be perfect to dine in warmer months. Heater worked great for our October chill. I loved doing yoga on the ocean front platform and visiting all the lighthouses. My elderly folks did well with only a step up to the master thanks to a sturdy handhold and cane.

The new master bedroom really made our stay this year much more enjoyable. The additional deck over looking the back yard also made it easier to spot the passing minkes, seals, and harbor Porpoise. Caught three ISS passes horizon to horizon on two clear evenings too!

Awesome

Starfish Cottage is an absolutely charming escape to a peaceful and quiet spot. It has obviously been thoughtfully and creatively furnished to anticipate all your needs. You will not be disappointed with the views and the wildlife. We will tell our friends!!

We LOVED our stay at Starfish cottage. The cottage was very unique, beautiful, and had many comforts of home. We are thrilled that we had the opportunity to stay in this charming cottage and visit the charming Campobello island! We enjoyed everything about our stay. The cottage was well laid out and well-decorated. The master bedroom was spectacular with a view of the water. We spied whales and water animals from the master bedroom. It was amazing to wake up to the view that this room offers. My sons loved the loft. The kitchen was convenient. We enjoyed the screened-in porch with an over-head fan (it was especially wonderful because the mosquito were biting.) Outside in the back yard, the red chairs looking over the water were well placed for morning coffee, star gazing (when it wasn't foggy), observing the change in the tide, and surveying the seals, whales, porpoises, eagles and other fowl. The wifi worked and we could have watched TV but we were too enamored with the cottage, the views, and the grounds to miss a moment by watching television. We were very pleased with the location of the cottage on the island. It was quiet and tranquil (although one of the neighbors was rather noisy on the night of our arrival.) We enjoyed being so close to the East Quoddy Lighthouse. We visited Roosevelt International Park where we enjoyed Tea with Elenore, the FUN tour, and the carriage trails. The visitor's centers where we stopped offered a wealth of knowledge and a smile! The Mulholland Point Light and center there offered an interesting visit. We were glad to have met Kevin and Kathy, Denis's neighbors who were hospitable and kind. We loved it and can't wait to go back!

Good location, but some simple amenities (along with a list and f things that were left by other renters) would be great. We bought groceries before coming, and many of them were already there. Essentials are BUG SPRAY (as the mosquitos get onto the porch at night despite the screen), coffee filters (so EVERY RENTER DOESNT NEED TO BUY THESE!), and a notebook with essential facts about the cottage (where the switches are for the fans, etc). We requested a lobster pot and he arranged for one! Thank you! The biggest concern is that the cottage supposedly sleeps 8 (2 in the front room, 2in the captains room, 2 in the bunk beds, and 2 upstairs in the loft. However, there were just 3 of us, and we were falling over each other. If there are more than 4 there aren’t enough places for people to eat.

The cottage was absolutely incredible! It was very cozy, comfortable, private, clean and Dennis was an amazing host! Super friendly and very helpful. The view was spectacular and no shortage of wild life!!! We saw whales, seals, porpoises and bald eagles everyday from the front lawn. It was the best seat in the house!!! We fell in love with the island and we will definitely be returning. The starfish cottage is an amazing place to spend your holiday, I wish we could have stayed longer. I would definitely recommend it!

Starfish Cottage was the perfect place for us to spend our summer vacation week. The cottage is both roomy and cozy with a beautiful new master bedroom. The decorations and wall art are plentiful all with a sense of the local Campobello island. It's well furnished with everything needed for your stay. The cottage is very clean and bright. Some of the highlights of our trip: - One day we woke up to the sound of whales, and easily viewed a couple of MInke's with a pair of provided binoculars. - The weather was dry, sunny and pleasant with high temperatures in the 70's, while back home in Connecticut it was humid and in the 90's. - The island has so much to explore including Roosevelt park and Head Harbour Light. (Probably the most scenic lighthouse on the east coast). - The screened in porch at the cottage is perfect for relaxing and taking in the beautiful water views. We loved every minute, and will definitely be back! Highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the "Starfish Cottage". The cottage is quaint but packed full of wonderful details and superb craftsmanship. It was almost like being in your own lighthouse. The screened in porch was an unexpected touch you can almost see everyone sitting out on a rainy day playing cards,dominoes,maybe working a puzzle or just gazing out at the beautiful view just beyond. Although we didn't experience any wet weather a little fog one morning that melted away very quickly. We were treated to a visit from the whales as we had lunch at kitchen counter one afternoon and several visits from the seals and had 5 eagles take a break in a tree out in the backyard. We loved visiting the Head Harbor Lighthouse and getting to cross over to it at low tide was an experience! Loved seeing all the beauty of the island and the tour of the Roosevelt Summer Home too. Thank you for sharing this remarkable cottage and Island.

We were very pleased with our stay here. We saw a whale on the first day and eagles every day. The cottage has everything you'd want to find (even excellent Wi-Fi). We already have made plans to return next year.

We were very lucky to be able to secure a last minute reservation at the Star Fish Cottage in August. Within the first three hours we were able to see two Bald Eagles and two Fin Whales from the back yard. The last day we were lucky to have 5 whales feed for an hour making it the perfect way to end a perfect weekend. The Cottage had everything we could hope for to make our stay comfortable and Dennis was very helpful. We would definitely recommend the Starfish Cottage to others for a very relaxing retreat.

In the afternoon, when the tide came in, we could see whales and porpoises from the observation deck that overlooks the Bay of Fundy. Also, a Bald Eagle occasionally flew by at eye level. And the WiFi reception in the cottage is superb.
