Guest TestimonialsWOW - this was the first word from our mouths as we drove down the driveway and saw this beautiful place! We have had a wonderfully peaceful and serene week here at Castaway Ocean Lodge and the hot tub has been a god send and has enabled us to be outside enjoying the veiw even through the wind and the rain. A fabulous haven that will live long in our memories!
Our week at Rockland Cottage was a wonderful peaceful experience, with an abundance of wildlife, fabulous views. Deer wandering into the garden being a highlight for all.
Thank-you for sharing this peaceful spot. We had a wonderful week here.
What a gorgeous spot! We loved the house and the property - saw deer, bunnies and porcupines. Unfortunately the weather didn't co-operate - Hurricane Bill for our arrival and tropical storm Dan for our departure. Nothing could hide the beauty of this spot.
