Underneath, the master bedroom has a private deck made for enjoying the Sunday paper with a morning coffee.There is an additional deck off the back and a new, oversized outdoor shower.
In the cottage ("Following Seas"), there is a 2nd floor guest studio (760 sq. ft.) with its own bath over a 2-car garage. The studio also has a sun deck that overlooks the property. Below, there is a large, private lawn ample enough for games, and has outdoor seating and a fire pit.
Moors End is a cul-de-sac. There is a large, private landscaped lot behind a mature privet and a circular, shell driveway entrance giving the whole property even greater privacy.

Perfect weekend escape
Beautiful house! The property is clean and spacious, easily fitting our group for the weekend. The check-in process was very easy with the caretaker, and he even dropped off an extra propane tank when we mentioned it was low. The location directly on the Polpis bike path was perfect for renting bikes and being able to see the whole island. We would love to return next year!

Peaceful and beaitiful
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this beautiful house!! The house is beautiful and the owner Luci went above and beyond to communicate before the trip. The caretaker Russell was there to greet us when we arrived, answer any questions and show us the beautiful property. The house is modern and sunny and decorated beautifully. Beds are comfortable and all of the bathrooms are pretty marble and modern. It was our home away from home! We plan to return next summer!
