The cottage is just as described, clean, quiet and comfortable. Communication with Lois was fine. The view of Active Pass and all the ferries coming and going was a highlight! The kitchen has everything you need and the wood stove is very nice at night. The cottage is warm for a winter visit with electric heating in each room. Beds were fine and linens and towels were provided. Perhaps more than one towel per person would've been nice, for hair washing, but there are beach towels in the closet. We loved exploring the large property, meeting the seals (who are curious about visitors and very charming!) and walking the trail. We ate a very good dinner at Groove Kitchen and explored many other parts of this special island. Don't miss the lighthouse or the Japanese Gardens. Lots of local foodstuffs, arts and crafts for sale in the little boutiques...there is even a quite nice little bookstore. We would stay at Seal Beach Cottage again. Highly recommended!
