Perfect!!! The cottage was more than we could have imagined. The view was spectacular, and we saw whales from the back yard. There was something for everyone from ages 10 to 60. I would encourage anyone to book their stay at the starfish cottage.

7 years ago we stayed at Dennis’ Whale of a View cottage 2 doors down and this is why we came back again, this time staying at Starfish Cottage which has been updated a few times since we stayed at WOAV my in 2017. In 2018, a spacious Captain’s Bedroom was added on to Starfish Cottage which now has a screened in family room right off it and also an outdoor deck in front of that room. Earlier this year, a new living room with plenty of windows was added off the multi-use lounge/dining seating area which is off the kitchen. Painted bright white, it was a beautiful space to sit each morning as everyone was getting ready for the day ahead. With views of the loft bedroom with its high ceilings overlooking the dining/kitchen area, it made the whole space feel very spacious. If you enjoy history, you’ll see the love that Dennis, his wife and their family have poured into the cottages preserving a lot of local heritage items decorating the cottages that tell a lot of the history of the Island. Located near Head Harbour Lighthouse on Lighthouse Road, it gives you easy access to all of the Island’s attractions and from the backyard of the cottage you have an incredible view of the bay with Deer Island across the way. We saw many whales and porpoises over the week we were there from the backyard. Roosevelt International Park will keep you busy for several days, and make sure you do Tea with Eleanor! We loved staying at Starfish Cottage and we’re sure you will too!

This cottage was the perfect home base for our week away - quiet, private, scenic, comfortable. The one small bathroom might be a bit of an issue with four or more people, but for two of us it was very ample. I'm still enjoying the screened-in porch in recollection - a sweet spot indeed. And we found plenty of exploration to do on the island all week (the trails at the international park were a standout, especially the bog trail and the coastal lookouts). You might want to bring your own condiments, spices, and cooking oils if you plan to cook, but the kitchen has everything you would want in the way of equipment (and a beautiful view of the water too). We loved staying there and will definitely hope to return again in future.

After a wonderful stay at the Starfish Cottage a few years ago, I came back with my mom for a second visit. The cottage is perfect and well-maintained -- the views from the main bedroom, kitchen, and deck can't be beat. We were greeted on our first morning by a bald eagle in the backyard and thoroughly enjoyed our 3-night stay. Looking forward to coming back again.

Perfect setting with ocean views complete with Bald Eagles, Seals, Whales. Walking distance to lighthouse. Despite being close to the road it was very private and quiet. Forested on both sides with large sweeping lawn behind the cottage. The cottage beautiful, quaint and well designed. Master bedroom with large windows and sliding door to large deck. Beds comfortable. Kitchen with all the necessities. Screened porch a lovely place to curl up with one of their books or magazines (many concerning the history of the island) Can’t recommend enough! Owners wonderful, available, and very helpful.

The cottage for the two of us with one bathroom and a compact kitchen though there is room to sleep up to eight. Location is perfect being very close to Head Harbor Lighthouse which we visited twice and Roosevelt Campobello International Park where we toured, had tea with Eleanor and rode our bikes on the carriage paths and trails. Of special note was mornings spent drinking coffee in the spacious screened in porch watching eagles soaring. One morning we watched as 5 eagles took turns. Very special!

Great property. Easy to find, clean, neat. Very responsive host. Melissa does a great job with housekeeping. Nice private setting. Eagles every day and a juvenile decided to perch in tree by picnic table. Majestic! Whales also observed from kitchen window. So elegant. Internet works and is very helpful with cell calls. More than one device seems to slow any streaming with buffering. May need firmware update. Minor issues if you have kids, is could not find DVD player. Looks like integrated tv was replaced. Tech issues are really minor though. Screened porch perfect for reading and games, relaxing. Will look forward to a return visit. Thank you Dennis.

Very cute property with an amazing view
