We had a lovely stay at Cliff Haven on the Bay and especially appreciated the wonderful expansive views over the water and getting to watch the ferry and other boats coming and going. Comfy bed, clean bathroom. Would gladly stay here again in the future!

Liked the fact it was a cute cottage with spacious rooms.
Owner graciously allowed us to drop off our bags before check in time.
Main room could have been better lit.

Beautiful views there where no curtains so 5am I woke up because it was bright. Everything for cooking was available and the balcony totally nice during the day and the night. Beds were comfortable. 99% clean just a little dusty.

There is a spectacular view from the deck of this cabin. It is a generous size and very clean. The walk from the free parking to the cabin is a little awkward but not long..It involves negotiating a sloped lawn and is difficult if you are handicapped. The owners were friendly and very helpful.

Loved the view and the quiet privacy. Lovely little cabin. However, possibly due to slow communication from Expedia , I did not receive the email with the directions or door code. Finding the place in the dark with no directions with just the map app is practically impossible. The address of the cabin is at the top of a narrow dead end lane and the address of the host is difficult to find as the house number is very small and neither that nor the small sign for the cabin is not lit in anyway . Taking the directions given by the map app, you will only see the back of the sign. After an hour , I finally found it , and once I did, it was a great place and I really enjoyed it :)

4 days stay with husband and son.
Cottage was clean, well equipped kitchen with air fryer, microwave, mini fridge, toaster and stove top. Bedding and towels are of very good quality. Bbq on the deck was a plus. Will definitely recommend the cottage to friends.

This cottage is amazing! It is perched above the waterfront and has magnificent views from the bedroom and the large deck. The bed linens, towels and amenities were top quality and both beds (one Murphy) were very comfortable. The kitchen/living room is open-concept and with lots of natural light. The only reason it only gets 4 out of 5 stars is because it was not clean.
