The back patio of Murray House Vacation Home is well designed for outdoor relaxation.

One of the many appealing features of our vacation home is its wrap around patio with views of the coast, ocean, and garden. Guests have access to a patio swing, a bistro set, and an outdoor barbecue on the back patio. There is fencing separating the two homes. #outdoor #family #barbecue

American Goldfinch, perched upright in a tree, is clearly visible from Murray House Vacation Home.

Birding enthusiasts will enjoy diversity of song birds that visit our well-established feeders daily. Because the feeders are in direct physical view of the house, they are clearly visible. Seabirds, and sometimes raptors, can be seen along the coast. #birding #birdwatching #nature #wildlife #bird

If present, icebergs on the coast can often be seen from Murray House Vacation Home.

In season, and if they arrive, you can enjoy watching icebergs in the harbour while sitting on the patio. #iceberg

For the early-riser, we have a perfect view to appreciate the aesthetic beauty of the sun as it rises above the horizon and spreads over the coast. #sunrise #coast #ocean
