We had a great weekend at Broken Compass - it was perfect for our group of three. We cooked all our meals in the efficient kitchen, enjoyed playoff baseball on the excellent TV, and relaxed and enjoyed some walks around the island. We even saw a sunset that looked just like the photo in the listing! It was quiet and cozy, just what we were looking for.

This cottage was cute and had everything you need. It smelled a little musty would be my only critique. The one thing I would say needs to be stated is that you have to catch a ferry to access the island. There is not a bridge. The ferry is $35 round trip (for you and your car) which can add up quick if you are planning on going on and off the island during your stay. I would stay there again.

From beginning to end, everything was as smooth as glass. This adorable cottage was recently renovated and has whatever one may need for a wonderful vacation on Frye Island. It was sparkling clean and cozy. The cabin is snuggled in the woods but the beaches aren’t far, so you won’t miss one single sunset. There’a even a fire pit to sit around - bring firewood. This dog-friendly get-away is perfect for a single person looking to escape reality or for a family seeking pure Maine fun. I went after the summer, so the recreation center was closed but I knew that from the start. Some general things in case you missed them: The Golf Course was open. It has a driving range and putting green with clubs you can borrow. $5 & $10 a bucket. Pickleball and tennis courts were also open. Pick up FIN when you arrive at the dock because it gives you all kinds of Island News, including the ferry schedule. The ferry isn’t cheap ($35 rt for non-owners) so figure it into any trips you’re making off the island during your stay. But it’s fast and efficient and my dog, TJ, got a snack each time from the awesome crew members, so he loved it. Make sure you stop for supplies before heading to the ferry because it’s about 20 minutes or so to the nearest store. The FI General Store has a few grocery items (and not over-priced) but I don’t think enough for a week away. They have a nice selection of reasonably priced FI gear and souvenirs. The Cafe has delicious food and the blueberry BBQ sauce is beyond words. Everyone I met on Frye Island was so nice and The Roys are excellent hosts. Thank you so much!

Loved the screened in porch for the bugs. House sits on the west/sunset side of the island, best side. Wish some trees were cut more for the view, but overall nice place, nice trip. Every item was well stocked. Dish/satellite tv with a lot of channels. Great amenities. Location is right next to tennis courts and golf Course which had live entertainment. Communication with owner was fantastic!
