We enjoyed Terrapin Station so much. Modern and new but charming cottage. It was so cozy with tasteful decor and furniture. The kitchen was really impressive although we went out most meals. Great neighborhood with awesome sunset and Island birds. Walk to restaurants, harbor,ferry.

Terrapin Station has had upgrades since our last visit. The blinds and window A/C unit were much appreciated. It is so nicely decorated and just the right size for us. We look forward to returning next year.
