7 years ago we stayed at Dennis’ Whale of a View cottage 2 doors down and this is why we came back again, this time staying at Starfish Cottage which has been updated a few times since we stayed at WOAV my in 2017.
In 2018, a spacious Captain’s Bedroom was added on to Starfish Cottage which now has a screened in family room right off it and also an outdoor deck in front of that room.
Earlier this year, a new living room with plenty of windows was added off the multi-use lounge/dining seating area which is off the kitchen. Painted bright white, it was a beautiful space to sit each morning as everyone was getting ready for the day ahead. With views of the loft bedroom with its high ceilings overlooking the dining/kitchen area, it made the whole space feel very spacious.
If you enjoy history, you’ll see the love that Dennis, his wife and their family have poured into the cottages preserving a lot of local heritage items decorating the cottages that tell a lot of the history of the Island.
Located near Head Harbour Lighthouse on Lighthouse Road, it gives you easy access to all of the Island’s attractions and from the backyard of the cottage you have an incredible view of the bay with Deer Island across the way. We saw many whales and porpoises over the week we were there from the backyard. Roosevelt International Park will keep you busy for several days, and make sure you do Tea with Eleanor!
We loved staying at Starfish Cottage and we’re sure you will too!
