We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was beautiful—stylishly designed, cozy, and incredibly clean. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into maintaining it. The location was perfect, close to everything we needed but still peaceful and relaxing. It truly felt like a home away from home. We would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable stay. Can’t wait to come back!

Did not disappoint

We, four women of mature age, loved this place and the surrounding area. We stayed for five nights, were very appreciative of all the extras provided, plenty of bathroom products (including toilet paper) tea, coffee, biscuits, cleaning products etc etc. more generous than anywhere else we’ve stayed. The property was very comfortable, quiet, great beds, parking and four TVs!!! Very clean and all mod cons. Close to all our activities. Shell Cove provides a large range of interesting activities nearby. Also very happy with the agents‘ communications. Pretty faultless actually.

Coastal Calm Getaway

Spacious, elegant, & attention to detail with loads of unexpected luxury’s of fridge, pantry & bathroom supplies that made us feel we just a little more special. Highly recommend The Boathouse for those who have a tween/teen family - the downstairs bedroom was a superb highlight for our mid teenage gent who wanted to escape from us all.
