Do yourself a favour and stay here ASAP. Alexis and Manny have a beautiful property and it's a delight to enjoy their hospitality. The cottage is incredible; the way everything curves and flows makes it feel as if the house itself is living and organic. The fireplace heats up the whole space handily and it's a blast to cook in the kitchen - though small, it uses space efficiently and feels big (and definitely has everything you need!) Mayne Island is beautiful but I must admit that we did not spend much time exploring (even though they kindly brought us a pair of bikes to use, since we walked onto the ferry to get here). Instead, we felt compelled to spend as much time inside that cozy, rejuvenating space as possible.
The cottage, the hosts, and the banana bread are all UNREAL. Highly recommended.
