Perfect getaway
Our family enjoyed our stay at Tranquil Harbour. It was the perfect size for our family of five, with plenty of room for privacy and comfortable seating in the shared spaces. The layout was convenient, giving the kids and teens space and adults privacy on the other end of the home. The kitchen was modestly appointed but had everything we needed for a 3-night stay. The host was quick to communicate and easy to work with. The hot tub was a bonus and large enough for 4-5 people.
