Enjoyed our stay in Cissy Bay, good communication from Jeff throughout and the property was well set up for our needs.
Jayne Curtis
Beautiful spot with easy access to outer sounds for fishing. Plenty of parking, it was possible to park 2 vehicles & 2 boats up the drive near the house although a little tricky getting the larger boat around the corner and turned at the top of the drive so we usually parked this boat at the bottom where there is additional space to park and seemed nice & safe. Only downside is there’s no public hose/washing area in the bay so can’t flush the boat engine out with fresh water unless parking up near the house (where there is a hose available). Excellent having the separate freezer. Great deck & outdoor area. Cosy fire. House had everything you need. Definite bonus having internet provided and good mobile coverage. Jeff the owner is very friendly & helpful. 10/10 Have already booked our next stay.
