The Francis Louis House was great! We drove up to Durham Lane and down to what's known as the
old wharf. We took a lovely walk along that fabulous beach-left toward the mouth of the harbor. A great place to visit at low tide. Afterwards we rode down to the end of St. Catherine's River Road, stopping to view the marsh before the big curve near the end of the road. We saw an adult bald eagle atop one of the scraggly tall spruces!

 An absolute wonderful place. Beautiful, comfortable. Great view of sunset and stars! We hope to stay at Castaway Ocean Lodge again!

Had a wonderfull week at the cottage. Highlights for the kids were the seals at the Keji Seaside Park. For us it was the dinner at the Quarter Deck Restaurant.

 We stayed at Castaway Lodge with another couple and found the accommodations perfect. The bedrooms are on opposite sides of the large log house, each with its own sliding glass door onto a private portion of the deck. We had a lot of fun cooking together in the well-equipped kitchen, eating each meal on the spacious deck with a spectacular view of the bay. We kayaked each day. (We brought our own kayaks, but our friends used and enjoyed the two single kayaks that come with the rental.) On a boating note, it's important to pay attention to the tide, and plan to return to the landing before the tide goes out any more than half way! The lodge is beautiful inside and out and feels clean and comfortable, balancing convenience with rustic charm. The hot tub worked perfectly, and we were able to gaze at the full moon from its steamy comfort on a chilly August night. Magical! Arrangements were easy to make, and the directions to the property were clear. A large binder in the lodge contains a lot of useful information about the area and the lodge itself.
