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.

Things to Note

Second Cottage Available:
Traveling with friends or family? The Boathouse shares the property with Shipshape, a charming second cottage. Both can be rented together for larger groups looking to enjoy a shared waterfront space. Reach out for more details.

No Large Parties:
To maintain a tranquil atmosphere for all guests, large parties are not permitted.

Waste Disposal:

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.

Security Reminder:
Please lock all doors and windows when leaving the property.

Feeding the Fish:
You’re welcome to toss safe leftover food to the fish from the dock—just avoid anything you wouldn’t eat yourself.

Tropical Tips:
• Do not leave food out on counters.
