    A hair dryer was the only possible thing we could see missing

    Breakfast exceeded expectations, the room was extremely well appointed, the hosts were very lovely. Cleanliness was 10 out of 10. We loved our stay and will definitely book again. Great value for money too lots of extras you would not get at a hotel/motel. Perfect

    None Wish Google Maps could update their location, but that's no biggie.

    Extremely warm hosts Heather and Don. They provided way more than expected--welcoming tour, attraction guide, daily chocolate, restaurant recommendations, fabulous breakie, you name it. My partner and I were inspired by the little designs for our new house, especially the heated towel rail? poles? which we havent found a manufacturer yet.

    There is absolutely nothing Heather and Don could’ve done any better. Pure perfection

    Heather and Don were exceptional hosts who have literally thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The room was outstanding, the location is spectacular, the breakfast was superb and their hospitality is the best I’ve ever experienced. By far, the best B&B we have ever stayed in anywhere in the world. Thank you so much for making our anniversary so special. Tony & Kerri

    A Truly Pampered Stay with Heather and Don

    Was there anything that could have gone better? Absolutely nothing could have gone better for us. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and we felt completely cared for from start to finish. It was truly a lovely and memorable experience.

    Review: A Truly Pampered Stay with Heather and Don From the moment we arrived, Heather and Don were absolutely fabulous—true consummate hosts. The location couldn’t have been better, situated right across from the beach with stunning views of the area. Our bedroom and bathroom were spotless and beautifully appointed, and the gardens were just lovely. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a thoughtful cheese platter complete with crackers, grapes, and a bowl of fresh fruit—a delightful touch. Bottled water was provided, and for coffee lovers, there was fresh coffee available too. We felt thoroughly pampered throughout our stay. In the morning, Heather and Don treated us to an incredible breakfast: fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, toast with jams, and fresh orange juice. They then offered us eggs and bacon, served on a delicious toasted baguette with avocado—an absolute treat! Heather and Don truly know how to make their guests feel special. We can’t recommend this bed and breakfast highly enough.

    Everything was perfect; I can't think of a thing.

    Water's Edge B&B exceeded our expectations! As we drove up to their house, Heather & Don greeted us, and they were so helpful with everything that we needed. The room was beautifully decorated; the whole house was stunning. The view of the bay was amazing. The breakfast they served us was visually appealing on the plate, and delicious! The room had everything we needed from a very comfy bed, a beautiful, large patio to relax on, electric kettle for tea, coffee maker, snacks, and a nice bottle of wine, and they had WiFi for us to use. This stay at Water's Edge was a gem, and we would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Heather & Don.
