Mayne Island is a small community of delightful people. Dorothy and Greg are about the most delightful people of all. Their property is water-facing with direct beach access. The sunsets are beautiful. You will see deer and bald eagles! Morning coffee is enjoyed with a view of the sea and a ferry or two going by. Greg has a 2-person kayak if you are interested. It is about a 15-20 min walk from the ferry terminal. Bring a good pair of walking shoes, a bike or a car. Mayne Island has limited (almost no) transit options.
Our check-in was smooth despite inconvenience to the hosts since they were busy on the day of our check-in. Communication was excellent. The room is large and spacious with a kitchenette which is equipped with a microwave. Dororthy and Greg took the time and the effort to get to know us. We were offered advice on things to do on the island. They will go out of their way to make sure that your stay is as comfortable as possible.
My wife and I have extremely busy lives as working professionals. We needed a vacation to soothe our nerves and collect our thoughts. The stay at Morningstone and Mayne Island with its easy pace of life, breathtaking views and friendly people made it a great short-vacation.
