Welcome to the Arbutus House

• One small bedroom upstairs with one single bed & one double bed
• Well-equipped kitchen with electric range, oven, dishwasher, toaster oven, microwave, coffee maker, electric kettle, blender, standard cook’s tools.

• Living room / dining room

The house has a private feel. It is set back from the street, on a half-acre. Though the house is nicely shaded, bright mid-day sun graces our front deck and balcony.

We appreciate your participation in the stewardship of our beautiful island: practice water conservation, composting, and the Three R’s – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

In keeping with Hornby’s dedication to water conservation, we request that you bring your own bed linens and towels (sheets, pillow cases, bath towels, wash cloths & beach towels.) We provide pillows, duvets, lightweight blankets, and dish towels.

Due to dry drought conditions, we ask that you not smoke in the house or anywhere on the property.

We have stable Internet. Mobile phone signals are intermittent. This means texting is usually reliable, but phone reception sometimes is not. The house has a landline you can use to receive calls or make local calls.
