I was confused as to the island status from viewing the listing photo and a guest review for one of the cottages that inferred the hosts are the only ones living on the island. I am not an expert in the area but while technically the property might be completely surrounded by water my experience would describe the property more as being in wetlands. The long road to the bridge was mostly active farmland. The area upon reaching the bridge to the property had a swampy smell. The short bridge took you over a very thin strip of water. My initial impression of the cottage, the first view upon arrival from the road was the garage. Because of the way the garage is situated and that I would be parking beside it and it housed the guests washer the setting of the cottage would not be something I would describe as private or quiet which two other reviews stated. I wish a photo of this third side of the deck beside the garage was provided so I had a better visual picture of the setting. Regarding communication with the host I would have appreciated being informed in the message sent to me shortly before my arrival that they very concerned about this garage that shared a wall with cottage flooding from the cyclone that was heading their way. I send my condolences and best wishes for recovering from
the storm to the hosts because the storm caused massive damage to the Rabbit Island area, the garage did flood as well as thousands of seedlings lost.
