Property was quiet and welcoming, beautifully situated in a quaint area wth amazing views.
The home was clean and fully stocked with the basic amenities. The games were great and the local references were excellent!
Would definitely stay there again in the future!
Great quiet location, super clean TONS of space and parking space (we had multiple cars) and an all around great location to explore the area. All we needed was provided, and the only thing we did not have was more time to relax to enjoy the area a little more. Would definitely do it again!

House was spacious and very clean. Great location. Excellent communication from the owners, with helpful driving directions…which was great since we arrived after dark.
The double bed in the black and white room would be best suited for kids or one smaller adult - not very comfortable for two avg. sized adults to sleep, but other than that it was a great property and checked all our boxes.
We were extremely happy with Lena's Place. The house was very clean, completely furnished, and a very well stock kitchen with everything you need to cook and clean. We had great communication with the host as well. The Five Islands area is beautiful with lots to see and do!

We like that the property is well located, with a fantastic view from home. The light house and the five islands park is minutes drive away. We also appreciated everything provided by the owner with care. We felt relaxed and welcomed at Lena's place and would love to come back with our families in the future.
Lena’s Place exceeded our expectations! Clean, well stocked with supplies and spacious. Prior to our stay, the hostess were prompt with responses and appreciated her professionalism. My Family will promote the site and the location. Beautiful
This home was an excellent choice for our family vacation. Lots of outdoor space and a welcome ocean breeze. House was clean and spacious and had everything we needed for our week long stay. Hosts were accommodating and responsive. This is a great central location for the area and although you are not on the water, the views are amazing and the beaches are a short hop away. Many thanks to our hosts; wish we could have stayed longer! Already planning our next visit.
Alice and Carole are very organized and they have added very nice touches to welcome us to Lena’s place. The house is very well appointed, immaculate and the neighborhood is extremely peaceful. Just a few minutes away from the provincial park where we could visit the bay of Fundy. Also visited the animal farm and cheese factory nearby. Diana’s restaurant offers great fish and chips and lobster roll. Would recommend to anyone wanting to visit the Five Island région seeking peace and quiet.

Lovely area,
Property was spacious for 6 people. Stairs were very steep for older people and those with disabilities. Food left in fridge from other people, laundry still in dryer, garbage was all over back deck. Enjoyed watching the eagles and surrounding area.
