55We were visiting the Island on holiday and were delighted to find Michelle's amazing spot. It was so great for the dogs to decompress a bit from all the on-leash sightseeing. We loved it so much that we came back again, lol! The property is huge with lots of short and long grass, plenty of shade and an amazing view of the ocean and Goat Island. There were bunny trails for them to follow through the bushes and tons of space to really stretch their legs in. Plus most excellent grass for rolling in. As an added plus, the host is super lovely as well. It was definitely a highlight of our trip!!
