Beautiful private getaway
What a unique location this was. Located on a small island and one of only a few places around. A hidden gem. The owner, Phil, lives right across the road and was available and helpful with all needs. The house itself was great with newer appliances and all was all was very clean. This place is right on the ocean in a small little bay that was very beautiful for swimming and snorkeling. That being said, it is a rocky shoreline and not the easiest to enter the water, especially at low tide. It would not be a good spot for little kids, however, there are many nice beaches within a 10 minute drive. Traveling around the south shore attractions was east from this location and there were tonnes of things to see with an hours drive in either direction. I would not hesitate to return to this place in the future.

If you are looking for a relaxing get away spot with the sound of the ocean to accompany your day but with all the commodities of a modern home (no tv, good thing) then look no further!

Beautifully Peaceful!!!!
We loved everything about our stay! We were at the red roof for two nights and wish we would of booked a week! The views are wonderful. The location is peaceful and quiet with amazing wildlife views! We saw seals, birds, jumping fish, etc. We arose early to colorful and beautiful sunrises! The house is open and full of light and clean! We cooked in the kitchen both nights and everything we needed was there. Wish we had time for an outside fire and to use the grill. Phil and Catherine are awesome hosts and people! Friendly, welcoming and helpful! We cant wait to go back to the Red Roof and to visit our new "host" friends! If you are looking to be with nature, this is the right place!

About the host

Hosted by Phil

Host profile image
Born and raised in New Zealand. I joined the NZ navy. This ended up being the catalyst to my eventual move to Canada after meeting a local girl when I was 19.
Many years on and a few careers later, we are now married, with 2 young kids.
We like to relax and enjoy the ocean and island life.
We are High-Performance Life Coaches, we love coffee, and live a healthy lifestyle.

Why they chose this property

When you get here, you will understand why we wanted to purchase this property. It's on an island; there are only 8 properties on the island connected by a bridge. It's peaceful. The ocean storms are spectacular, but on the flip side, the ocean is also so calm. It's raw.
The perfect place to escape, but not so far away that you are totally disconnected.

What makes this property unique

Beautifully quiet. It's a hideaway only the locals know about. Great spots to walk. easy to hideaway, isolate, and lose yourself to the ocean and the trees.
