The Captain's Quarters The Captain’s Quarters – A Historic Retreat in the Heart of Bearskin Neck

Welcome to The Captain’s Quarters, a sun-filled two-bedroom retreat within the historic Sail Loft building on Bearskin Neck. Originally a bustling sail-making shop in the late 1800s, this beautifully restored space blends original details like exposed beams and maritime accents with thoughtful modern updates to ensure a comfortable stay.
