On a secluded cove, this two-story unit has five tidy, basic
suites with carpet and unstylish plaid bedding. Upper floors have better views. The
private barbecues and the pool and hot tub overlooking the bay are major draws. The fur-

Campobello Island
The atmosphere on Campobello is remarkably different from that of Deer Island. It's a
gentler and more prosperous island, with straight roads and better facilities. The wealthy
have long been enjoying Campobello as a summer retreat. Due to its accessibility and
proximity to New England, it feels as much a part of the USA as of Canada, and most of
the tourists here are Americans.
