First, Tammy was wonderful to communicate with. When I booked the stay, the dates got mixed up and I immediately requested a change of booking. Tammy got back to me promptly and was able to accommodate the dates we'd be on the island. The home is so well equipped and modern yet still holds the feel of being a heritage home. The new kitchen is splendid. The bedrooms are nicely decorated and the beds and bedding was perfect. The family loved the location and the space - we were also able to host relatives and nearby friends all in the same space! We absolutely loved our stay and the purple house. We will definitely be back!

The Purple House was a great place to stay with a large group. The beds were comfortable and there was lots of room for everyone. We even had family over and it still wasn't crowded. The updates recently completed on the house were great bringing it up to today's standards. We would definitely stay again in the future. Reasonably priced as well.

Overall experience was great. Communications between us and the owner when needed were promptly returned and appreciated. As for the property our stay was fully enjoyed by all. There was plenty of room for all to relax as well as enjoy our meals together. The historic house was a treasure and the modern conveniences were a bonus. As new property managers they are heading in the right direction and once they have finished all the touchups this place will be a gem to explore and stay at.

We selected this location because of its proximity to the ferry. This huge historic home was bigger than we needed but gave us plenty of room. There was a great cross breeze in the bedrooms so it was very comfortable for sleeping. Plus there were fans available for use. All the beds are new. The upstairs bathroom was under renovation and couldn’t be used, but the small ensuite in the main bedroom allowed people easy relief in the night. The kitchen has been renovated and has plenty of amenities. The host asked for comments for improvement and we mentioned a few things (chefs knife, cutting board…) which she immediately went and ordered. The yard was a nice place to sit out in the shade and read a book also. Also supplied were camp chairs and towels if you wanted to go to a beach. The sunroom that overlooks the river was a great room to sit in to have a coffee or play a board game. It would be even better if the windows could open too. Once the renovations are complete, this place will be amazing.

This is a beautiful old home where we enjoyed evenings looking over the water. From the moment we stepped inside the house, we were all delighted - exploring the different rooms and flow. The property was well appointed and the owner was very proactive in communicating any changes (they were still doing renovations on one of the bathrooms). The kids still have fond memories of “Maple Murple’s purple house”. We would definitely stay here again.
