Visited with sister and mom-we had a great and serene time!!  We loved being all on the island with the
creatures!  The lodge is very comfortable; loved our walks on the island and all the freighters on the horizon.  
Captain Mike is a super host!!  Hope to have a return adventure.

Our second trip to Middle Island and brought friends and family!  One thing is for sure, each trip leads to
thoughts of next time we'll.......Good food, great weather, lots of photographs, and great memories.  Each visit
we leave part of ourselves at the island and part of the island comes home inside us!

Not knowing what to expect before my daughter & I arrived here - I must say we were both
pleasantly
surprised.  This is a beautiful place, so quiet, unspoiled etc..  We both love lighthouses, so seeing one out of
our window all the time was awesome.  And Captain Mike made us feel so at home.  Hope to come back
sometime.

The 3 days & 2 nights that we were here were beautiful nights and days with a 6:00 a.m. sunrise. We all had
a great time.  Also, we hope to come back very soon!  Thanks

A beautiful island.  We enjoyed our stay despite the unseasonably cool weather.  We explored and briefly
swam in the lagoon, hiked and enjoyed the history tours and amenities.  There were lots of boats to watch and
the stars were magnificent.

What a wonderful location and awesome diving!!  Thank you - we can't wait to come back.

Our 2nd trip to the island.  The weather was absolutely perfect.  Hiked the island every day and enjoyed all
the wild life.  Found the Portsmouth shipwreck in the lagoon and a life saving boat on the west shore.  The
island is the ultimate place to unwind from the hustle and bustle of the city.  As usual, Captain Mike was the
perfect host.  Can't wait to come back.

A very special weekend for our kayaking group.  Thanks so much for making it so memorable. We enjoyed
learning the history of the lighthouse, flora, fauna, and shipwreck tales.  Hope to return.

Captain Mike, We had such a nice time!  Thanks for the lighthouse tour and the ride around the island.  It was
nice to un-plug for a few days and spend time with our kids playing cards and making smores.  Thanks again!

Visiting friends in Michigan.  They brought us to this peaceful island.  One day was just not enough.  We, Jack
and Jane, are from SCOTLAND, this will probably be our only visit but "ENJOYED" it and the memories will
travel to our friends and last with us forever.  Thank you Captain Mike for having such a beautiful island.

A fabulous two days of R&R.  We walked around the island yesterday - probably 5+ miles.  Very sore
afterwards.  We could have stayed another month or so.  Alas, we must return to the "real" world.  Too bad.  
We had a great time.  Thank you Captain Mike.

Our first trip to the island - a 30th birthday and second anniversary gift.  A wonderful time!  Worth doing
again.
