The 540-square-foot cottage on the island is perfect for relaxing and just looking over the vibrant blue of Wohoa Bay. However, there is no bathroom inside the home, just a loft with twin beds, a kitchenette, dining table and a living room.

“There is no better place to spend the weekend in the world!” the listing describes. “The ledges surrounding the island are loaded with seals for constant entertainment. As it has no trees, it offers views of nature that you can’t find anywhere else. The cottage is well constructed and just a few feet from sand beaches on both sides. Good anchorage and good landing points at any tide.”
