Fabulous!
Rebecca is an amazing host! Always there if we need but gave us space to enjoy the camp. The camp site is set up with everything you need. From cooking, to a warm (outdoor) shower. I highly recommend having a little getaway here.

Glamping Tent on Tidal Estuary
We loved staying at The Birdhouse tent! The location is idyllic, beautiful nature surrounding you, the tent is pristine, cozy, and snug sleeping quarters. The kitchen is quaint and we loved having breakfast on the deck. Rebecca answered all questions very quickly. The place is also so closely located to all attractions. Would love to come back!!

This was a great experience. The tent was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The outdoor space had everything you could need to cook and enjoy. Rebecca was very quick to answer any questions and help out. With her help we were able to explore the island and enjoy all that it had to offer.

Perfect!
Perfect glamping in unique location! Rebecca is an attentive host and provided a beautiful campsite with extras like electricity and a charger. The nighttime was incredibly peaceful and we woke to the sound of a Bald Eagle within the estuary.
