Relaxing on Bay of Fundy
This was our second time staying at Starfish. We love it for the large backyard for the pups. Plenty of room to chase a ball and run. The addition to the cottage is fabulous. Much more indoor space. Cottage is equipped with everything you need. Bring your own spices if you plan to cook as we did most meals as restaurants are closed or slowing down in the fall. We did stop at The Porch twice for fresh pastries and cake- great deserts ! Dennis was great and supportive. Highly recommended.

Peaceful quiet paradise
Lovely stay in a quaint and tastefully decorated cottage with everything needed for a relaxing visit. The master bedroom views are fabulous and sunsets are indescribable. I may have lucked out with such sunny and warm weather in later September as that was perfect also. Plenty to do in terms of relaxing, reading, exploring nearby particularly Roosevelt Campobello International Park which I visited three times. Fun Trip!

Fun girls trip
Perfect!!! The cottage was more than we could have imagined. The view was spectacular, and we saw whales from the back yard. There was something for everyone from ages 10 to 60. I would encourage anyone to book their stay at the starfish cottage.

We loved Starfish Cottage
7 years ago we stayed at Dennis’ Whale of a View cottage 2 doors down and this is why we came back again, this time staying at Starfish Cottage which has been updated a few times since we stayed at WOAV my in 2017. In 2018, a spacious Captain’s Bedroom was added on to Starfish Cottage which now has a screened in family room right off it and also an outdoor deck in front of that room. Earlier this year, a new living room with plenty of windows was added off the multi-use lounge/dining seating area which is off the kitchen. Painted bright white, it was a beautiful space to sit each morning as everyone was getting ready for the day ahead. With views of the loft bedroom with its high ceilings overlooking the dining/kitchen area, it made the whole space feel very spacious. If you enjoy history, you’ll see the love that Dennis, his wife and their family have poured into the cottages preserving a lot of local heritage items decorating the cottages that tell a lot of the history of the Island. Located near Head Harbour Lighthouse on Lighthouse Road, it gives you easy access to all of the Island’s attractions and from the backyard of the cottage you have an incredible view of the bay with Deer Island across the way. We saw many whales and porpoises over the week we were there from the backyard. Roosevelt International Park will keep you busy for several days, and make sure you do Tea with Eleanor! We loved staying at Starfish Cottage and we’re sure you will too!

Early June getaway
This cottage was the perfect home base for our week away - quiet, private, scenic, comfortable. The one small bathroom might be a bit of an issue with four or more people, but for two of us it was very ample. I'm still enjoying the screened-in porch in recollection - a sweet spot indeed. And we found plenty of exploration to do on the island all week (the trails at the international park were a standout, especially the bog trail and the coastal lookouts). You might want to bring your own condiments, spices, and cooking oils if you plan to cook, but the kitchen has everything you would want in the way of equipment (and a beautiful view of the water too). We loved staying there and will definitely hope to return again in future.

Beautiful cottage
After a wonderful stay at the Starfish Cottage a few years ago, I came back with my mom for a second visit. The cottage is perfect and well-maintained -- the views from the main bedroom, kitchen, and deck can't be beat. We were greeted on our first morning by a bald eagle in the backyard and thoroughly enjoyed our 3-night stay. Looking forward to coming back again.

Perfect Campobello Cottage
Perfect setting with ocean views complete with Bald Eagles, Seals, Whales. Walking distance to lighthouse. Despite being close to the road it was very private and quiet. Forested on both sides with large sweeping lawn behind the cottage. The cottage beautiful, quaint and well designed. Master bedroom with large windows and sliding door to large deck. Beds comfortable. Kitchen with all the necessities. Screened porch a lovely place to curl up with one of their books or magazines (many concerning the history of the island) Can’t recommend enough! Owners wonderful, available, and very helpful.

Eagles Soaring
The cottage for the two of us with one bathroom and a compact kitchen though there is room to sleep up to eight. Location is perfect being very close to Head Harbor Lighthouse which we visited twice and Roosevelt Campobello International Park where we toured, had tea with Eleanor and rode our bikes on the carriage paths and trails. Of special note was mornings spent drinking coffee in the spacious screened in porch watching eagles soaring. One morning we watched as 5 eagles took turns. Very special!

Perfect setting
Great property. Easy to find, clean, neat. Very responsive host. Melissa does a great job with housekeeping. Nice private setting. Eagles every day and a juvenile decided to perch in tree by picnic table. Majestic! Whales also observed from kitchen window. So elegant. Internet works and is very helpful with cell calls. More than one device seems to slow any streaming with buffering. May need firmware update. Minor issues if you have kids, is could not find DVD player. Looks like integrated tv was replaced. Tech issues are really minor though. Screened porch perfect for reading and games, relaxing. Will look forward to a return visit. Thank you Dennis.

Inter generation family get together
Location location location for tranquility, serenity and solitude. The property is a gem with a million dollar view. We enjoyed some outings but for the most part we occupied ourselves relaxing on the deck and screened in porch: games , puzzles and watching for the elusive whale. The weather was excellent, between 18 and 23 degrees, a little rain but mostly sun. Wish we had time to stay longer!

Picturesque
What a wonderful stay! The cottage was a beautiful place to stay. My Mom and I enjoyed waving to all the boats going by and just relaxing on the deck. The beauty from the deck makes it hard to go see the rest of the island! Seeing whales, dolphins, seals and bald eagles everyday of our visit put this over the top! The sunsets were amazing too! Can not wait to go back!!

Campobello Adventure
We enjoyed our Campobello Island stay! All was good and the location was GREAT!! We truly enjoyed Starfish Cottage and it was so close to Head Harbour Lightstation (East Quoddy Light). We saw eagles, Canada geese, and whales. We also visited Roosevelt’s Cottage and the tour there was fantastic. Loved the food at The Porch and picking up sea glass at Pollock Cove. Great place to stay right on the water!! Wonderful view. Excellent communication with the owner, Dennis.

Forever memories
This property was everything and more I hoped it would be. Not only seeing whales but hearing them is a memory that will forever be etched in my mind. Seeing the dolphins and seals play…no words. All of this from beautiful Starfish Cottage. The cottage had the most comfortable beds and everything we could possibly need during our week’s stay. We will definitely be going back. Thank you Dennis

Beautiful Starfish Cottage
Beautiful property, very comfortable cottage plus great communication with our host. Very accommodating. The whale watch boat was down, but the whales came--two sightings- from the backyard deck along with seals, osprey, eagles and loons. We walked the mile to Harbor Head Lighthouse. Restoring stay.

Wonderful Retreat
Starfish Cottage was a perfect location and accommodation for an August get away. The views from the cottage are stunning. The screened in porch was a great place to hang out and for meals. The Adirondack chairs overlooking the water afforded several whale sightings. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable. We enjoyed exploring the island -- the Roosevelt Park, the beaches, the carriage trails on bike, and the gold course. Looking forward to a return.
