We have a off grid cottage so the solar power was something we were used to. Brenda had more than enough water for showers & flushing the toilet for the 4 of us. You do have to keep in mind the tide schedule as you cant leave the driveway when the tide is high. This didnt cause a issue for us at all. The neighbours are VERY welcoming. We were invited for washer toss, some brought by veggies, salted fish, told us where to dig clams out front etc. We just booked for the same weekend next year but 3 days instead of 2.
