This New England style home is within walking distance to beaches, restaurants, The Wyannie Malone Museum, Saint James Methodist Church, ferry docks, grocery stores and gift shopping. The Elbow Reef Lighthouse is a short boat ride away just across the harbour. Bars and restaurants are within walking distance, but far enough away to not be noisy or disturb the peacefulness of the cottage. Relax in the front porch swing.

Upstairs is an additional bedroom with twins that can be converted to a king, a full bath, and a cozy dormer-ed bedroom (low head room, best for a child) with one twin. Dock will accommodate boat up 35’ (4’ draft at low tide) Welcome to Pa Willies!

Great location and had wonderful weather. Communication with Lory was great and got prompt responses. Good AC and loved the front porch and so close to the beach.

Cute 'In Town' Antique Home
Pa Willie's is an adorable cottage just across the street from Post Office Dock. Very easy to get to/from Marsh Harbour Ferry to the house. A surprise to us was a second upstairs bedroom. Tall people beware, the upstairs is not for you. The downstairs main bedroom/bath are fine for everybody. We had a few technical issues with the gas grill and oven, but the owners were very quick to come over and fix them. Super-good air conditioning! Everything was great. I would recommend that the owners provide a few folding beach chairs, otherwise, we loved our stay. Thank you!

Pa Willie’s is perfect for a winter getaway. The house is historic and located in the settlement, convenient to everything. It’s easy to walk and take a cart. We will return.
